Luis isn't good enough for this level

One our best players since lockdown. Absolute class.

Targett has had an excellent match

Cancelo is a bit good isn't he? How much did he cost?

Lol Traore sskillzzz!

That’ll do Cashy’s confidence the world of good.

Targett has been great defensively 

Excellent by Targett

Why do we keep trying that chip from Martinez out to the left wing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen us do anything other than give away possession.

How Jon Moss is a PL referee is beyond me. He must be 3 stone overweight

Do they all go drink Adrenochrome now?

Its interesting you say this as both north west games were called off tonight due to waterlogged pitches, at Blackburn and Blackpool. Heavy rain forecast for the next 24 hours in Manchester. As you say, less likely called off given at the Etihad.

Don't football pitches get covered with a hug tent like thing when the weather is going to be awful?

Just catching up on the affidavits, and the endless haul of the mad and the bad is both funny and depressing at the same time.

In fairness to Pham Tam Dinh, 18-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, how could he have possibly foreseen the advanced detective techniques they would use on him?:

'PHAM initially told The Agents he was in Washington, DC from January 5 – 7, 2021 for business reasons. He stated that he briefly attended President Trump's rally on January 6, 2021 but initially denied going to the Capitol building. The Agents asked PHAM if they could look at the pictures on PHAM's cell phone during the time he was in Washington, DC. PHAM agreed to show them the photos on his phone. As PHAM was showing The Agents the photos, they noticed there were no photos in the album for the dates that PHAM had traveled to Washington, DC. Special Agent Slaughter asked PHAM if she could go to his Deleted photo album. PHAM agreed, and in that album, there were pictures and videos that were readily identifiable as being of the interior of the Capitol building. At this time, Special Agent Slaughter advised PHAM that it was unlawful for him to make false statements to The Agents.'

Like Pham, Guy 'Ice Cool Under Pressure' Reffitt was also concerned about his post-riot security, but pursued it with more, uh, vigour:

'20. On January 16, 2021, FBI agents executed a search warrant on REFFITT’s home in Wylie, Texas. Present during the execution of the search warrant were REFFITT, REFFITT’s spouse (Spouse), and REFFITT’s minor daughter (Daughter). REFFITT’s adult son (Son) came to the house during the execution of the search warrant . . .

22. Son provided the following information: On or about Monday, January 11, 2021, while REFFITT was in REFFITT’s home with Son and Daughter, REFFITT stated that REFFITT had to “erase everything” because the FBI was now watching REFFITT. REFFITT further told Son that if Son crossed the line and reported REFFITT to the police, putting the family in jeopardy, REFFITT would have no option but to do REFFITT’s duty for REFFITT’s country, and “do what he had to do.” Son asked REFFIT words to the effect of, “Are you threatening us?” REFFITT responded with words to the effect of, “Don’t put words in my mouth.” Son understood REFFITT’s statements to be a threat to Son’s life . . .

25. Spouse provided the following information: On January 11, 2021, Son and Daughter stated to Spouse that, during an argument at the house earlier that day, when Spouse was not at home, REFFITT stated to Son and Daughter words to the effect of: “If you turn me in, you’re a traitor and you know what happens to traitors...traitors get shot.”'

What a charmer.

Finally, the former lover of Riley Williams, accused of stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop, has a fairly eye-catching accusation about what she intend(s/ed) to do with it:

'9. In the days following the January 6, 2021, events, a witness (“W1”) made several phone calls into the FBI’s telephone tip line related to the U.S. Capitol attacks. I have reviewed documentation of several of those calls. In them, the caller stated that he/she was the former romantic partner of RILEY JUNE WILLIAMS (“WILLIAMS”), that he/she saw WILLIAMS depicted in video footage taken on January 6, 2021, from inside the U.S. Capitol Building . . . W1 also claimed to have spoken to friends of WILLIAMS, who showed W1 a video ofWILLIAMS taking a laptop computer or hard drive fro m Speaker Pelosi’s office. W1 stated thatWILLIAMS intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service. According to W1, the transfer of the computer device to Russia fell through for unknown reasons and WILLIAMS still has the computer device or destroyed it. This matter remains under investigation.'

EDIT: Very strong energy from the last one:

wow. Thank goodness we have these smart folks amongst us to expose the secret cabal conspiracy and decode the Q information.

In all seriousness @HanoiVillan thanks for trawling through all that junk for our entertainment!

Just for nostalgia. Oh the memories....

Mistakes... Orwell weeps.

2 million imprisoned. I believe there was some fuss over the summer related to this. Biden was intimately involved in the construction of this system.

I wonder what the people of Iraq (for example) think about his mistakes?

I can't imagine how I could destroy so many lives and have it called a mistake and then be told "don't worry about it", because I'm a nice guy or something.

It's getting pretty tiresome having this kind of response when you post something that provokes lots of questions and then you decide not to answer any of them, tbh.

I'm not sure what you get out of these exchanges. Admittedly some of the responses can occasionally be hostile, but a lot are fairly straightforward questions, and time and time again, you ignore them until it's time to post something else that provokes just as many unanswered questions. It's a very strange loop.

I literally answered some of your points VK in my original posts. You're really gonna lay a huge blame for Iraq disaster on Biden (a minority vote) not Wolfowitz, Cheney, Condy, Colin Powell or Bush? Orwell also came up with the idea of "Double Think" you know.

The main thrust of my post was the entitled privileged white folks who hate their own lives of mass consumerism so much that they had to find Q et al to give their lives some meaning. Those people are the big problem - so lazy and entitled they have no idea how good they have it. But you conveniently ignore that so you can  continue your own slanted narrative.

What is Biden planning to do?

A briefing note seen by Canadian and US media says Mr Biden will sign an executive order revoking the permit for Keystone XL on Inauguration Day - 20 January.

He will also return the US to the Paris climate agreement - a global pact on cutting carbon emissions - reversing another decision by Mr Trump, who took the US out of the accord on 4 November last year.

@maqroll you must be happy bud?

Interesting article about Wednesday from Politico:

Yes, It Was a Coup. Here’s Why.

Since last Wednesday, people have been arguing what to call what happened at the U.S. Capitol — was it a riot? An uprising? An insurrection? I’ve been public in calling it a coup, but others disagree. Some have said it’s not a coup because the U.S. military and other armed groups weren’t involved, and some because Donald Trump didn’t invoke his presidential powers in support of the mob that broke into the Capitol. Others point out that no one has claimed or proved there was a secret plan directed by the president, and that Trump’s efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election could never have succeeded in the first place.

Forgive my ignorance @HanoiVillan - why was it more difficult to sign South & Latin American players before Brexit ?

Paul McGinn about to join Stephen McGinn on the pitch for Hibs vs Celtic.

I'm more concerned about Pelosi's laptop.

I don't think it was actually hers.

The person (moron) posted a picture of the laptop stating that it was Pelosi's however it was clearly someone else's email account which was open.

Probably a staffer from her office.

The only way that makes sense is if the impeachment process can be completed after he has already left office (can it??) and the 2/3rds majority can be achieved. That means a lot of Republican politicians having a Come to Jesus moment. 

We'll be fine then!
