'Twas always the aim. Obfuscate and kick this into the long grass first by waiting on the Sue Grey report, spin that out for as long as possible, THEN say we need to wait for the Met to complete their (shabby, half-arsed) "investigations". Draw it aaaaall out till Vlad kicks things off and happy...

Get with the program. He's a billionaire, therefore he can NEVER be wrong about anything. We must all know our place.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: "But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future." Qui-Gon Jinn: "But not at the expense of the moment...."

I struggle to see why some folk fret over a game that is over 4 days away. My sister texted me in a tizz over this exact issue. If its still showing Burnley at 12pm on Saturday, then by all means start running around like your trousers are on fire. Otherwise - adopt a nonchalant shrug...

My intention was not to condemn that entire nations people, although reading my post back that is how it comes across, so apologies for that. Of course just like any nation, there are millions of decent, normal, law-abiding Russians who nobody would ever have a problem with, that (should) go...

Comrade's Bollockov and Suckmikockyabiytch have a LOT to answer for when this is all over.

Anyone miss Sergei Gotsmanov ? Wonder where he is now. Simpler times.

Our gas dependency to Russia is only around 10%. But everything has a knock-on. Germany's reliance is around 80%, so if Putin turns off the taps in reaction to tit-for-tat NATO-enforced sanctions, then who knows where that goes.

One step at a time, Putin is provoking a war. It's farcical to claim that the hundreds of thousands of forces he has amounted on the Ukraine borders are there on "exercise drills". Now we're seeing Russian boots on the ground in the eastern separatist regions of Ukraine, its only a matter of...

Weeellll...I can see the whole "cult" thing, because he was basically a shambling hopeless looking weirdo who could occasionally trip over the ball and make it look like a pass. But at the time, I really, really didn't want us to be effectively a man down when we were scrapping tooth-and-nail...

Totally agree. On every level, Russia are utter filth. They lie, obfuscate, muddy waters, deny everything, but basically do whatever the f*ck they want. Their government are lying scum. Their sporting authorities are lying scum. And (in my experience both in Egypt and Tunisia), many of their...

Every time I see and hear Johnson, I just want to vomit. I know its a superficial thing, but when our shambling Prime Minister wears a carefully and deliberately ruffled haystack on his swede, I'm left thinking - "how can ANYONE take this bloke seriously ?" He must've been laughed out of the...

:lolol: This is sadly quite true. I was recently having an 'extended lunch' with a hot date (The Times Monday sports pullout), when I received a call via the dreaded Teams. I'd been waiting nearly 10 minutes to be served by some distracted STRUMPET, who'd just spent a slab of my lunch hour...

I get it from my mother. She can get a tan from heating a treacle pudding in a microwave. Its not ideal though - with all the WFH, come the summer months, people at work just think I've been mincing around doing Club Tropicana video remakes all day in my back yard. Which is often largely...

Yup, SW facing garden, so we get the sun from about 12pm onwards, pretty much till sunset. Give it a half-decent weekend and I can go from Will Hughes to David Dickinson over the course of a couple of afternoons. Olive skin, innit.

I miss my garden every day of winter. We're investing in new patio furniture this year so cannot wait to get that all set up, doors open, the smell of freshly cut grass, the sun beating down, a few sherberts with a book / Kindle / Sunday sports pullout. BBQ's and Alexa. Getting a bit of a semi...

Absolutely nobody has said that. The discussion is far more nuanced than "we lost to Burnley because Burn has gone". We were shite as a collective on Saturday, and would've probably lost if we'd had VVD at the back. Absolutely nobody posted any more than a 6/10 except perhaps Mac. But no Burn...

Which turned out to be an outstanding deal, but at the time, Veltman hadn't got 4 years of PL football under his belt. As we've seen, to our considerable cost, the Eredivisie churns out a LOT more duds than than gems. When Burn left us for £13m, he was a battle-hardened, proven PL defender who...

Fair points, but in the current market I still think we got diddled on the fee for this guy. An established, experienced, versatile PL defender playing regularly for us, with a good 4-5 years still on the clock. £13m was utter buttons, particularly when you look at who we were dealing with. Plus...

I was always genuinely baffled by the hero-worship this player induced amongst some on here. Looked like he'd woken up in a bus shelter, and played like it as well. One of the most junk signings in the Amex (or any other) era, but people really seemed to LOVE the fact that he turned up in our...
