Has anyone else fired a gun with a silencer? About as silent as being slapped in the ear. I was expecting a James Bond style 'pew' noise, and of course the sound of the bullet striking it's target/the wall behind it is almost as loud as the gunshot itself. Strangely enough I know this having shot a few guns including semi-automatic in a Vegas range. The entire experience was terrifying. The ease of which people could purchase guns from the range we were at, the age of some of those shooting along side me (7 or 8 year old girls who couldn't hold the recoiling rifle without assistance), the revelation from that staff that most locals will be concealed carrying. It was fun to shoot in a "safe" space but I left the range even more opposed to the idea of any civilian carrying a weapon than I was when I walked in there.

I count 8 players there at fault for that goal. If you saw a Sunday league side defend like that you'd be in bits.

for that to happen, assuming we keep our current points per game and finish on 71 points, they need to get over 2 points per game. yeah, that shower of shit will go from the relegation zone after 10 games to getting results that would put you 2nd or 3rd over a full season. Good one, you floppy faced word removed.

Whelan getting a little complacent, but great half

They’ve been fantastic. Hourihane running things, MOTM so far.

looking forward to this, which is a bad omen

can’t choose between Adomah and Hourihane for MoTM. Not because they scored either.

don’t mind the Hutton sub to be honest. He’ll be told to stay back and protect the lead. very well done from adomah in the corner

Beautiful turn too

that is absolutely outstanding from Kodjia

It’s been reported what he’s said - “During a meeting with the midfielders’ unit of players, of which I was not present, MS [Sampson] used an analogy about pressing hard in midfield and getting a caution like a police caution. MS then addressed the player individually and said in relation to being cautioned by police: ‘Haven’t you been arrested before? Four times isn’t it?’” Dave Reddin, head of performance, as part of an information-gathering exercise last year, added: “This comment about the player was made with derogatory, racial and prejudicial connotations. “It was also a defamatory, untrue statement given that the player has never been arrested and MS’s comment indicates an assumption (subconscious or conscious) that being mixed race from London suggests a criminal record with the police. “Although I was not present at the meeting, other players confirmed MS made this comment. Other players confirmed the comment was not received as a joke and created an awkward atmosphere in the room. I was deeply concerned about this comment and felt it was highly inappropriate for the national team coach to make such a sweeping negative generalisation about a new player in the team.” https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/16/mark-sampson-accused-remark-racial-prejudicial-connotations/amp/ “We were in the hotel. Everybody was excited. It was a big game. On the wall, there was a list of the family and friends who were coming to watch us and I just happened to be next to Mark. He asked me if I had anyone who would be there and I said I had family coming over from Nigeria. ‘Oh,’ he said. ‘Nigeria? Make sure they don’t bring Ebola with them” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/21/eni-aluko-england-manager-mark-sampson-ebola He’s been sacked for inappropriate conduct at Bristol that became more apparent to the FA after investigating the Aluko claims anyway, so it’s totally irrelevant.

the fact you can’t even think of a negative white stereotype close, let alone one that even makes sense, to what Sampson implied with Aluko is pretty telling.

Some disturbing but entirely predictable viewpoints floating around here. The guy's been sacked for a separate and reportedly more serious incident to the Aluko centred one, of which the details aren't clear yet, and he's being defended while Aluko is copping unwarranted flack for something unrelated? @Stevo985 sensibly providing the facts.

The phrase "Throw enough shit..." comes to mind.

Traore, Bacuna, Sinclair

We've got ourselves one of those broken clocks.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/why-your-ipad-comes-via-anchorage/ This kinda interested me (off topic), but it looks like it's just clever logistics. Quicker maybe to go the other way for your one product, but much quicker and cheaper for many packages to take the slightly odd route.

Probably the same that criticise the tweeting in the first place!

Where from? I find it hard to believe based on the language used and the info given. If it is the PR team, puts to bed the argument that he shouldn't be 'wasting time' and speaking in emoji.

1001: a Bruce Oddity

The idea of them expecting to mount a promotion challenge is hilarious.

lol, Ive been duped. My point is even more valid

plenty of people work for morons. assuming Tony is a moron, which he is clearly not. Twitter is engaging with fans. Emoji are part of the language of twitter. This is the world now. The only person that tweet risks pissing off is Bruce, and I assume at this point he doesn't give a shit as he is no longer his employee

yeah, what idiot CEO of a massive company would mess around posting emoji on twitter when he has important work to get on with?
