This thread is pointless until we know which league we are in.

It will be us or Wigan to go down with the match at their place on the last day being the decider.

To be fair, he is hot... To be fair, that is no different from blokes reactions I've seen to Amanda Knox. Amanda Knox was found innocent in a court of law. Hardly comparable. People on here were saying she was hot and the things they would do to her just after she had been arrested. There is no point pretending we are any different.

It's going to be us or Wigan on the last day. At least we will be garenteed a TV game...

You should see the Birmingham Library!

I really want the younger one to be caught alive, I would love to hear the explanation. From the sounds of things the older brother was the more psycho of the two, I wonder what set them off.

From what I can gather, the brothers were born in Kyrgyzstan, moved to Chechnya then Dagestan, then to Turkey before finally moving to the US some 10 years ago.

Isn't next years Winter Olympics being held in that part of the world?

That is insane. Could not imagion that going on on my local neighbourhood, let alone being one of the police officers having to deal with it.

What the **** is wrong with the New York Post. Absolute scumbags! These guys were never suspects, they are just two guys watching the race who happen to have dark skin. The post editors don't give a ****...

Yeah, they did start a story line with Saul trying to convince him to open a nail salon but then they never followed up on it. My explanation would be that Jessie just uses cash all the time and doesn't make any big purchases which would attract suspicion whilst Walt is trying to set up an empire and has to look a bit legit.

There is a whole ream of them here http://imgur.com/a/sUrnA Mostly seem like BS but who knows, one backpack might be the right guy.

Probably people panicking and being on high alert at the moment.

Sounds like they may have spotted a suspect on video but haven't actually tracked him down yet but a news agency jumped the gun and announced an arrest.

No, the joke has past you by, it is an implication that Tottenham Hotspur, the football team Gareth Bale (The said 'Bale' in the one-liner) plays for are what is known as a 'one man team' due to their results taking a negative direction since Bale has picked up an injury. Gareth Bale is Welsh, so the idea there will be three Welsh teams in the Premier League is a rib on this. Well I think it is unlikely Bale will be in the premier league next season so the joke is on you.

Well a number of letters containing ricin (Breaking Bad reference anyone?) have been sent to US government officials including Obama so someone is looking to hit the government at the moment.

Ok sure, I can understand what you are saying there. There doesn't have to be a 'real story' and a fake one though. Quite often the story might be mostly true with some details withheld etc.

But who is controlling and directing these editors all over the world? I agree that an individual writer will not have total freedom, they have to fit with the publication they are writing for, but there are enough different media outlets from many different countries that you will get a fairly broad and balanced view if you look over them without having to resort to unsubstantiated conspiracy websites.

I have a couple of school friends in Australia who have gone into journalism. At what point during their careers would you think they get told what to write about by the American government? Giant conspiracies could not be contained globally, not even within the US in my opinion. For journalists to be considered a credible source of information they have to verify their reports and cite evidence. Twitter reporters don't have to do anything like that. Just look at the reports on twitter yesterday about Boston. There were all sorts of stories coming up from so called witnesses or experts about the number of bombs, the number of dead, whether a person was in custody or not etc. I have even seen it twitter that there were government spotters on the roof tops and police conducting a terrorist training drill the morning of the race. You can go down all sorts of tangents reading and taking at face value unsubstantiated claims on the internet and they don’t balance against verifiable news stories from actual journalists even if a number of people have retweeted the same thing a number of times.

More like "Four Lions".

WTF are you talking about??

Not a jihadi then. Terrible but at least he's alive and the damage is low so he'll walk again, truly incredible what they can do with prosthetics now after having 10 years of R & D and 1000's of squaddies coming back with similar injuries to practice on. He wasn't walking before, either... looks like a wheelchair racer (unless they just used racing wheelchair to move him). I don't think the explosions hit many racers, it was the people in the stands who were hit.

I wouldn't trust the New York Post to bring you news.

The scale thing is absolutely true. We are also more sympathetic to incidents in similar cultures/English speaking countries too. I mean there were bombs in Baghdad today which killed 30+ people and not much was said. It's just the way we are as human beings I guess. Yeah that's the crazy thing. Bombs went of in Baghdad today and humans were killed but we don't really care. I think humans will never be at peace with each other until we all have actual empathy for each other.

Crazy
