I agree they intentionally targeted Hezbollah. No question about it - that was their intention and I've read commentary saying that they weren't even sure they were going to follow through with the plot, but were worried about detection so decided to go ahead. I wonder if they regret that choice...
This was a remarkable attack by Mossad. But as others have said, it was very random because anybody could have been near the pagers when they went off. So, they decided it was an acceptable consequence that innocent people would be hurt and potentially killed in this strike. They calculated the...
Delighted to see Peupion and Duffus in particular in that line up. It's a shame for Turns not to be out playing first team football, but maybe 6 months of training at the Albion and captaining the u21/u23s will better suit his development.
This country really needs to invest in its infrastructure. You see the evidence that it is on the roads (anyone driving from Sussex to Newcastle will see plenty of it) but the rail network is absolutely crucial and the time to invest was 10 years ago. Don't be sat here in another 10 years...
Much like Dan Ashworth not being able to interact with Newcastle during his Gardening Leave at the Albion, but Newcastle immediately picking up a couple of the players we had been linked with (and in Minteh's case, have now signed).
Last night's game showed the difference between a club who has been in League 2 and looking to develop quickly and a club dropping from a higher division capable of spending a lot more money. How many times did Birmingham break the League 1 transfer record in the summer? 2 or 3 I think - and...
It's almost as if the people who are privvy to the full details should be making the sentencing decisions, rather than people on the internet with limited information but endless hunger for putting the boot in.
I think this one might end up being a failure and him coming back in January - they signed a couple of keepers in the summer and then signed Rushworth as well. I've no doubt, without even seeing the other two, that Rushworth is the best of the 3 but it might have put noses out of joint and made...
I think that's very credible, but maybe slightly overrates Liverpool and Spurs in particular. I would think that 4th is realistic this season, but it's realistic for 5 teams. It's important we make a strong start and ultimately, the final placings will be determined by the league results without...
Such a shame how many injuries he had. I don't recall whether it was one injury which recurred, or if he had multiple, various injuries. I feel like he blew out both knees at different times, possibly the same one twice? Very disappointing, but he's having a great managerial career so far and...
I've added York to my favourites on Livescore to keep an eye on how he's getting on - unbelievably well so far! I thought he was an excellent player for us, a magnificent centre back who would have been at least a Championship player if he had knees.
And once each state has voted in favour of allowing abortion decisions to be made by Doctors and the patients, there can be a federal law covering the whole of the US. Longer term, overturning Roe vs Wade will be an enormous net positive for the country but the amount of pain, suffering and...
No investment at all, fairly intentional asset stripping to reclaim some of the money blown in the last 5 years. They had some momentum, but decided to do the opposite of the Albion and not capitalise. They were a house of cards, rather than a well built structure like the Albion is. We have...
