I think I read somewhere that stats for pedestrian road deaths were presented as "A.M. deaths went up", but they omitted that P.M. deaths went down and overall there was little difference. Construction and agricultural work is largely dependent on daylight though, and with noisy construction...

I think we are kind of in agreement except for the use of the word untrustworthy, I would not use it to describe factual reporting that might be misleading by omission of other facts, I would call that biased. I often find this sort of reporting a useful starting point for further investigation...

I heard that within an hour of Putins announcement, all flights to anywhere Russians can get to without a visa were fully booked.

Many Russians in Moscow and St Petersburg are well aware that their Government feeds them Propaganda, it is just that they also know that other Governments do it too, they are much more suspicious of all media reports as a result, and Russian FSB and others will be active on social media posing...

I think vested interests should be considered, ego's and pay masters too, but that doesn't mean a source is untrustworthy. There is a difference between presenting news with a bias and presenting utter bullshit as news, it is one thing to try and direct your gaze on to what the left is getting...

At his last two clubs, Shaktar and Sassuolo, they have conceded goals at about the same rate as they did before he got there, but they have scored more. At Foggia they scored more than anyone else, had the best goal difference in their league for the 2 seasons, goals conceded was about 5th...

There is no one, it is always sad when someone goes too young, Amy Winehouse for instance, but no sadder than an acquaintance. I surprised myself with the tinge of sadness I felt at the passing of Mikhail Gorbachev recently though.

If we are going with Footballers, it's probably Maradonna, however Zidane is the player I most admired. Bradman was out for a duck in the first innings of his last Test, Australia beat England by an innings so he never got a second innings. 4 runs in that innings would have given him an average...

We just got dead lucky with Cucurella, Veltman, Gross, Moder, Mwepu, Trossard etc. We have 4 players in the squad that had been at PL clubs before coming here, Steele never made a PL appearance before, has only made 1 here, Lamptey had 30 minutes at Chelsea, and then Welbeck and Lallana, who...

I imagine PB first contacted his agent to say we are interested, his agent says I will get him to check you out. He watches a few of the recent games, hopefully not Fulham away first or he might not have bothered checking the rest, liked what he saw so delved deeper and thought this was a team...

"It's a risk, youre bringing someone in who doesn't know our game" "They're making an appointment of someone who has no history in the English game" Like when City appointed Guardiola Like when Liverpool appointed Klopp Like when Man U appointed Ten Haag Clearly we should have gone for Sean...

Yes, but they could have made enquiries with agents, who informed them that their client was unavailable currently, or had massive buyouts, and so they never spoke to them directly.

There have been attacks on Russian soil, reportedly.

As much as Potters departure has pissed me off, it may be a blessing in disguise, I am backing us to improve on Potters 9th, whatever happens in October.

History lesson?

I struggle with anyone but Chelsea fans wanting Chelsea to be successful. However, if they stick with him through a couple of seasons where they win nothing and don't qualify for CL football, and he then has success, then fair enough. We went through 2 and a half seasons of nice to look at but...

I believe at that point we had not won in 8 games. The frustration though was that we had numerous chances to score, and with 20 minutes to go he took Maupay off and brought Locadia on.

Fine to say he didn't think booing was warranted, I didn't think booing was warranted, it was the "Perhaps I need a history lesson on this club" comment that got under my skin. I think most of us believe he could do very well at Chelsea, but also that he won't get much time to impress, before...
