Allegations about the Smyth cover-up have been in Private Eye for years (as were allegations about Fayed, Post Office and others). Shame that no serious action is taken until the story hits main stream media.

It will be open before Palace’s new stand.

Yes the unmade and unlit road is still there - walking to an evening match is interesting! Hopefully will be sorted as part of the new ground improvements

Wow, interest rate of 21%! Unsustainable.

I just feel that Russia has found it difficult enough to keep a lid on Chechnya over the years and would find it more challenging to govern any Ukrainian territory it might gain. But like you I hope that will never be tested.

Russia can’t win. It has already lost. Putin failed to achieve his objectives, lost the lives of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, depleted his armed forces, destroyed his economy, expanded NATO membership and even if he gains more of or even all of Ukraine, Russia will be despised by the...

So long as it’s no where near me a drum would be good - though I expect drum sticks will be put on the list of banned items that you can’t take into the stadium

An interesting take on events from the ex head of MI6 on Times radio today is that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about what Trump may or may not do. If Trump puts forward a peace deal and Putin doesn’t accept it, Trump might throw his weight behind Ukraine.

Unfortunately there are many Russians living in the Baltic states (Ukraine too no doubt). Who knows where their loyalties lie and what they might get up to. Probably absorbs significant resource keeping tabs on them.

Let’s hope the problems is solved at the next Hungarian and Slovak elections.

As regards financial matters in Russia I see that the Times is reporting that the Russian courts have fined Google for removing / banning Russian media from YouTube. Apparently the fine was £15.4 decillion which equates to15 followed by 33 zeros - which is more than the world’s combined wealth...

There’s a lot to digest in there. Very disappointed re Fico. Based on the Slovak’s I’ve met (admittedly few) they despise the old USSR and ridicule their current government

Maybe they had one of their 40% off deals that day?

You’re possibly right - he may have to sit on the bench for a while yet, as Baleba did last season.

The blue shorts are still in the wash from the weekend

He’s not exactly had the greatest start with us 🤦‍♂️but I think he deserves a bit more time to adapt to the greater pace and intensity of the EPL. McCallister, Baleba and others all took time to adapt.

My wife is currently conducting an assessment of my skills and compiling a list of things for me to post…..might take a while

At my age I’d say yes to pretty much anything, though for some strange reason my wife thinks I’d be punching above my weight to land the Chancellor of the Exchequer
