I'm more than happy for any club that laughed and mocked our plight to suffer the fate they wished upon us. Let them burn.

I listen to a lot of OTB (Irish football podcast) and they've not stopped going on about him for a year or 2. Now I understand why, what a player!

Walked past a Chelsea Pub on the way to the game Saturday, they were singing Super Frank, they did at the game as well. Might be an awful manager, but they love him. They won't get Champions League, wont get Relegated so the owners might as well put in a club legend to win favour with the fans.

It allows the club to hoover up all the best younger Egyptian / northern African players. Expect them to buy all the best 14-18 year olds in North Africa (our finances will blow all of them out the water, but will still be a snippet compared to the 6 figures we've had to pay for British youngsters. If they are any good they will go to Vitoria for European experience If they are really good they'll end up at Villa.

Just be honest.... Tell her you found yourself liking her and wanting to explore things further no pressure. If not you really appreciate the friendship. I had a similar situation with my (now) wife. We met through friends, flirted a bit, swapped numbers etc.. She liked me apparently, I didn't pick up on the signals or pursue it; mainly because i'm useless. She got impatient, moved on and completely ignored me. A few months later we had a chance meeting, after some Dutch courage I was honest with her, told her I liked her but basically don't know how to act around people I like. Turned out she liked me as well. Now we are happily married with annoying 2 children and a mortgage we can barely afford.

Spurs are in a really bad place on transfers. A+ Players will no go to them, they go to Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern to win or PSG for the cash. A- Players they are in a pool with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juve, Inter, Milan, Napoli etc. They lose out to all on prestige and arsenal / chelsea / Liverpool on finances. B+ Players - they end up buying and overpaying from here (Richarlson, Porro, Romero, Royale etc). These players are always a massive risk, if they weren't a risk they'd go to Man City, Bayern etc and so on. The only A+ player they have they got lucky with from their youth system. Probably worth noting, that if we get to our "best of the rest" place in the table we will end up in this situation where we can't afford or attract A+players and potentially end up with expensive, overpaid "B+" players. hence the reason our youth recruitment is so pivotal.

Precisely

Clearly missing the "I hope that's never required" bit.

Correct, in the extremely unlikely event someone entered my house with a gun with my children in it, i'd use whatever means necessary. How "insane". Hopefully that would never ever be required, but pretty much any father will do what's necessary. My first precaution against that, is never ever moving to America so pretty sorted there.

If I lived in America I'd have a gun, i'd 100% have one. I'd need one to feel safe with all the other lunatics running around with guns. Does that make me part of the problem or a symptom?

They really need to build a USA / Canada following to have any chance. The championship is now a world of billionaires and they won't be able to spend their way to success.

If you put 100,000 people in a room the chances are one or 2 of them are complete psychos / lunatics Therefore hundreds or thousands out of 331,000,000 people will be complete unhinged pyschopaths. Then give those thousands of complete lunatics completely free access to guns. It's hardly any wonder this doesn't happen more often. Poor children.

Be interesting to see what happens when they shift up a few leagues. Financially they are flat track bullies in the conference, but once they get towards the championship then it's a whole new level of wealth, which even Deadpool can't compete with.

Arsenal / Arteta have made things worse for Spurs. They'll keep sacking managers, moaning, groaning and under investing until they get really lucky with an Arteta like manager who can take them from 4-6th to title challengers. That's what Arsenal have done since the invincibles (including forcing Wenger out).

Correct! As one who lives in Leicester I can assure you there's areas of the city where I can almost guarantee you the ethnicity of the replacements. Leicester is split into areas where there's heavy concentrations of a specific ethnicity or religion. There is absolutely no way a "white", or even a Hindu would ever be elected in a predominantly muslim area (it's just how it is). The replacements will represent the people / area they represent. Where I live is high concentration of African immigrants, and my local councillor is Claudia Webb who is of African decent. Unfortunately she decided to threaten to throw acid on her boyfriends ex girfriend and was sacked by labour and given a suspended prison sentance. If / when she's replaced I can almost guarantee her replacement will be of African decent as the local population wants someone who they believe represents them.

Just never got into the Madalorian. Just doesn't seem to fit for some reason. Andor however is absolutely fantastic, and easily the best content Disney have released in the last few years.

China trying to elevate themselves by not getting involved. Almost like a father sorting out 2 squabbling children. They won't dare get involved militarily for obvious reasons.

China will posture and make noise about this just to destabilise the whole thing. In reality they won't dare supply Russia. Militarily and economically it's a sinking ship. The reality is, China's economy is initially built on us, the west buying their stuff. If they supply Russia then any sanctions will completely decapitate their already extremely delicate economy (and have a deep effect on the worlds economy). Of course Putin will be desperately trying to get them to back him. China's domination of its people, and growing middle class is built on the premise of them making their lives better. If there's sanctions that will no longer be the case.

I'd probably suggest they are testing their Mafia'esque ways on the bigger players now and possibly met their match.

I work in the ecommerce side of a food production business, I can categorically tell you the producers and manufacturers are REALLY struggling also not just the famers. Most of the companies are going D2C (hence my job) as the supermarkets are just volume merchants, we work with 3 of the majors and barely make any money at all, some months we make a loss on tens of thousands of units sent. The only meaningful profit comes from our D2C website / Amazon. The Supermarkets will happily destroy family businesses (We've known of 5/6 in the last 6 months go under for dealing solely with Supermarkets). They will offer you unbelievably small margins, if any margin at all plus 120-180 day payment terms + you have to pay towards the products marketing + you are constantly "fined" for broken packaging (even if its their fault). For this purpose you will notice many supermarket brands beginning to push their own websites / advertise on facebook etc.

Anyone who lands in the UK, offer them a temporary 12 month Visa and have case workers who help put them into employment. After 12 months it's reviewed and either extended for 5 years or revoked. After 5 years it can be made permanent. Young, working age, lower skilled men should be utilised into the economy, not sent back or thrown into the underworld. Thousands of 22 year old men, who work for the next 40 years is everything this economy needs right now. "Stop the boats" is short sighted, narrow minded and just a desperate attempt to win votes.

There's a huge difference. Ukraine has half it's population who will willingly / voluntarily risk their lives to save their country on top of a well equipped military. With Russia, after the professional military and conscripted prisoners there's not many normal civilians who fancy getting thrown into the meat grinder.

As we grow some of our squad players could do really well for them. I could imagine the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Chrisene etc spending a season over there

JWP only made sense when we had Grealish as he constantly won us 5-10 free kicks on the inside left channel.

Newcastles biggest signings will the "off the pitch" in the next couple of years allowing them to beat FFP. There will be bribes, sorry donations to various Premier League officials business interests, lucrative opportunities, first class trips etc allowing the loopholes for FFP exploitation to be identified or changed. Then we will see an unprecedented level of spending.
