Well played sir, well played.

I know, who would have thought it.

Not whilst there are women and dogs walking the streets.

This is what happens when you let some people loose with crayons …

Very much this. i would argue that Sami was ahead of his time. His problem was accepting that the players at his disposal weren’t capable of playing his style of football.

A little wary about posting on this thread as I don’t need to lose weight but have been very impressed by those that have and are trying. I was looking for some inspiration on a completely different topic and who knew, I found it here. NSC is full of surprises. Anyhow Don’t beat yourself up...

Your second to last statement says it all🤦‍♂️

Because the money can be better spent on the surface fleet that is in use at the moment than keeping two ships mothballed. Added to that both ships are over 20 years old and require a refit which was canceled. Then who is going to crew it and the question of how long it would take to run the...

The quickest method of getting feet on the ground is by helicopter. Landing craft are great but weather conditions, sea conditions can screw up an amphibious landing. The vast majority of troops landed were by helicopter. (846 and 845 Nas with elements made up from 707 and a couple of pinger...

you can blame the Crabs (RAF) for that.

The only logical explanation is that he is a grade A dickhead. I really can’t see any other reason.

You fought in many wars?

i don’t often say this but ‘utter bollocks’. the assault ships have already been mothballed (by the previous government) and there was never any plan to replacement.As an ex-junglie I’m a fan of assault ships so was never happy with this. The frigate is beyond economical repair with damage than...

HMS Northumberland is a Type 23 which is beyond economical repair. It’ll be replaced by a new Type 26.

No. let’s face it half of the Tories were in Putin’s pocket anyway hence the reticence in some quarters in its support of Ukraine. congratulations on linking WWIII to the farmers inheritance tax🤦‍♂️
