Cant see a problem, appears to be telling the truth and didn’t seem to affect is refereeing of Liverpool on Saturday.
What’s wrong with a ref having his own views. The world’s going soft.

However, if it were Man U he was talking about.

Did Keith Houchen get it right. In his book “A Ten Pound Note and a Box of Kippers” he describes us as “A bunch of miserable gits.”

Two or three cleared off the line, two or three good chances not converted.
Final five minutes were just scrappy, when you need to hoof it, just hoof it, don’t wrestle for it in the area.

The sooner we reduce the amount of time we can spend in a pub the better. Alcoholism needs to be tackled,this is one way we can do it. Maybe in the future when cards have all our information,the amount of alcohol we can buy can be introduced? The government is only doing this to help you in your life.We must thank our authorities for taking care of us,and other ideas need to be introduced for our own good.Thankfully we have people in charge who are doing these things to make our lives better.

Don’t worry. They are currently building on an M181 connection from Burringham Road, so I am sure it’s progressing just as Waltham said it would when Swann got ahead of himself and thought we could say farewell to Glanford Park in 2015-16..

Now that roundabout will be of use, unlike the other one which I refer to as “Tevye’s roundabout” (One going nowhere just for fun).

Lebanon is not strong enough to control Hezbollah, it can barely run itself after the fifteen years of civil war.
Added to that the invasions by Israel and Syria it’s been on its knees since 1990.
Interference from outside has disrupted a fine balance.
Beirut used to be known as the best holiday destination of the middle east. No longer.

[Iron Age]

Not only Hezbollah, Israel is now buzzing Beirut, why? Because it can.
Lebanon is a very fragile state suffering from different factions fighting and decades of bullying by Israel.
List of people not wanting peace.
1. Hamas.
2. Hezbollah.
3. Iran.
4. Netenyahu’s Israel.

I think it probably does.
In fact there’s no hiding place.

Ah, but the South African “bomb squad” were a replacement for the starting lineup.

[Iron Age]

For anyone watching rugby union you’ll notice that the entire front row is replaced, even when the team is playing well. It’s called managing the game and the players.
In that way rugby is ahead of football.

I think it’s “Lingalongamax”.

Without much interest in Oasis, an observation of mine is that artists don’t perform at concerts any more, they lead singalongs.

And now they are all saluting him after hounding him out of the job.
But then no England manager/coach is saffron their spitefulness.

Did The Guardian hound him out the job? They certainly didn’t hack his phone.

I was referring to the “Red Tops”, plus one or two tabloids, the usual suspects.

(Goodness knows where the “saffron” came from, hah!)

On YouTube the South Shields manager isn’t exactly magnanimous in defeat!

Sounded like the classic interview from a guy who’s team were comfortably controlled by the opposition for most of the game but despite his team being beaten they are still the prettiest side in the league to watch. Whatever mate, it’s not always about winning the pretty way it’s about winning and if his team only know one way to play then he’s going to be disappointed again this season.

Sounded like Ron Greenwood’s West Ham.

Most Fletcher goals came from passes out of CM to a (presumably) predetermined spot behind the defence. A burst of pace through the backline and he ran onto the ball – straight thru on goal. Very good at one-on-ones.
It just kept on happening.

I can remember him tearing Brentford apart at Griffin Park in 1972, Brentford were top and Scunny second til then.

That would work for me as then they’d be irrefutable proof. Odd though that your God supposedly came to Earth and picked a time when there were no cameras, TV, newspapers, internet,instant worldwide news, et al.
Abridged version, prove it.

We have all that technology now, do we now get any sort of truth now from anywhere?
I’ll give examples.
Fox news, GB news, The Mail, Express and Telegraph.
Social media, the EDF, the Israeli government, Hamas, the US, the Russians and Chinese.
The Tories and Reform.
Brexit.
Antivax.
We have all the technology mentioned above and can’t trust any of it. The more information that we have access to the more it can be manipulated.
Me? I’m not a member of the flat earth society, I’m quite prepared to expand my mind (not chemically of course, however there have been times.)
