Kneed to know basis

It's a fucking cult, a right wing cult.

Unsure about that one... What the EU can't do is quickly become that, but it's not as if it doesn't have the economic clout to do so. There is a reason that some of us have been advocating closer and closer ties with them, and it's not because we just enjoy visa free holidays. Strategically it makes a lot of sense and would make the collective a counterbalance to US or Chinese power in a way that clearly individual nation states in their own right can never be. The problem is that we're overrun by our own pack of (IMO) traitors voting against European interests at every occasion in favour of petty parochial nonsense. What is happening to Ukraine should be a good example of why nation states like the UK can't go it alone. The super powers, if they ever want to, can crush us. Where is our sovereignty god then? £800bn on rearming is not nothing, It's equivalent to US yearly military spend (although they also have to fund their various far flung bases and outposts, so in a consolidated Europe this figure is more powerful). Europe doesn't have to replace the US as a world police force, it just has to be compact and vicious enough to defend itself and its borders. It is absolutely capable of doing that. Diplomacy with Canada and East Asian democratic powers is a significant next step beyond that as the US plunges into isolationism. Ironically, all of this should be music to Trump's ears - but apparently he's throwing tantrums because he's meant to be centre stage and Europe wasn't supposed to be trying to find alternative answers.

That particular deal will never happen, swap deals are rare enough, but three players as makeweights? No chance. If nothing else theres no way we're going to take on three players with PSG wages.

Maybe you could start one with predicting Salah is going to get through it completely unscathed? And if it does happen then you’ll have actually got something correct.

Miggy really was good actually?

new stadium/training ground bollocks just makes me laugh now, I'd be surprised if I'm still around to see any of it. the fucking germans managed to knock up cologne cathedral in less time then it's taking these cunts.

No

To keep those worshipping the Mitchell/Bunce axis sweet. Those of us who identified them both as shallow know nothing charlatans very early on in the piece iirc know a lot better obvs

We used to do the 24-hour ferry to Gothenburg back when it still existed. Bit less of a booze cruise, but you didn't half learn about cabin fever after a while. Harwich to Hoek van Holland is ideal by comparison. Rock up in the evening just in time for a nightcap in the bar, away to bed as you're setting sail, then wake up already at your destination. Only trouble is Stena Line plays fucking "Don't Worry, Be Happy" over the PA to wake everyone up.

Good but late. Second is nowhere.

Re: Hall and Gordon, it’ll probably force us down the 3 at the back route with Trippier and Livramento as wingbacks. It might represent our best chance of winning anyway, playing like that. Trippier will be far less exposed there and Tino is comfortable playing on that side. Clutching at straws perhaps but given how good LFC are this season I think it was always going to be a case of ‘it was written in the stars’ were we to win. There have been far bigger upsets in cup finals. I’ll temper that slightly by admitting I fully expect a comfortable win for the opposition

Jesus fucking Christ. What’s the point? They could fall in a mountain of shit and come up smelling of roses

it's swansea city i feel sorry for in all of this, their 12 year old record of holding the biggest league cup final winning margin looks to be in grave danger.

Not getting into it again btw You were the one who went fishing for bites

I know a Ukrainian who could get a deal done between China and the US as long as the Americans show some respect.

How many sides carry more than six CBs into a season? It has been a series of unfortunate events that have led us to this situation. The first being your father getting that feeling in his pants.

Gazza good as before Shearer certain to score And Psycho screaming

You can't call me homophobic. My boyfriend is gay.

At the start of the season we had six players capable of playing CB with two positions available. But aye, we should have gone all out for that seventh CB.

I think the phrase is these things happen gradually then suddenly Lots of reason why it's the perfect time though. Wotsit Mussolini sucking up all the media coverage, the Republicans poloiticians either too terrified to face him down or bought and paid for. People totally disengaged. Most people either still comfortable or more worried about how to put food on the table to notice. Completely supine press And half the country brainwashed fully on board cult members

We've got plenty of options

I wouldn't bet on it.

It's happening in plain sight. This video came out a few months ago and mentions a lot of the same people and their plan with the same conclusion. Scary how much of it has happened in the first month

Worth a read. https://www.facebook.com/share/166MysBw8d/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Beating Liverpool was going to be hard enough anyway. If we have to do it without Hall, Gordon and a match fit Botman then we need a fucking miracle

He should have been taken out and shot at dawn.

This Madrid derby has been a good watch only spoiled by Steve fucking mcmanaman being on the mic. I reckon even his mother will hide behind the settee when he knocks on her door.

'Special night at anfield' all ready now. Roll out the corrupt officials and back handers.

Even when they’re battered, they survive a bullshit offside and a blatant red and get to take a team back to Anfield at 0-0 Absolutely unbelievable. We don’t get that much luck in a season

Infantino is such a fucking whopper.

You just reminded me of this:

Hook line and sinker.

Absolutely love the Netherlands. Amsterdam is a superb city with so much great history. There used to be loads of cars in the centre, but the government in the 70s changed that, same with all the cities in the Netherlands. Look what it brings? Imagine that in the UK?

The daughters went over on the ferry without bothering to tell me before they booked, I think they had the sum total of two hours in Holland before coming back, they spent a small fortune on data and overpriced everything. I'd even told them in the past when they were mulling over going to Amsterdam to just pay a bit extra on the flight and it would save them in the long run but what do I know?

Aye loads of options at CB but barely enough to play a back 3, and not one of them under 30.

Lads, keep your rugby for poofs analogies to yourselves.

If the Cup Final had been against Wycombe we could have won.

Aye they're gonna need to stump up cash or they're gonna need to get fucked. The idea that we'll just take any old rabble in exchange for the best striker in world football.

Well I did ask for a roll call of the armchair Commercial Directors.... Step forward....

Botman staying fit might be critical for a CL push. We've talked about the fact we cant keep poession despite Tonali and Bruno, well our CBs and Tino are a big part of that right now. I like Tino and he's got so many great aspects to his game but posession and passing are where he needs to develop. Less said about the CB pairing in that respect the better. I get that Schar was always slow and he's aged a ton this season but he was a fantastic passer of the ball and you dont suddenly lose that over a couple of months so I've no idea whats happened to him. Burn's having a brilliant season in honesty but its heart in mouth stuff when he's trying to play short balls around our box, especially if freaking Pope is around too. Botman will make a big difference, suddenly balls into midfield will flow a lot more smoothly. I hope to hell he's not going to be the next Woodgate though with the injuries. Howe has managed to pull this lot back from poor form on previous occasions. Around the cup final two years ago when things seemed to be unravelling. And then last season of course finishing 7th with that horrendous injury crisis was nothing short of a miracle. So you'd think he's got it in him to come up with something again. It can only happen so many times though and this little period when we're trying to salvage CL place should be the absolute last time Howe is required to work miracles with this squad. The utter numpties questioning his position again ffs I know its only social media mostly but deciding what bread to buy is the limit of the decision making autonomy these people should have.

Aye, securing that £29m in sponsorship from other PIF businesses must've been a real struggle.

Yeah, that was always my argument with the knackers ( even amongst our own fans) who went on about his being a great business man and how all clubs should be ran within their means etc. But that is incredible and really lays bare his dereliction of duty and lack of vision. I.e. save money by hardly employing anyone on the commercial side of things.

90% increase in commercial is mad, fuck Mike Ashley

It’s a very nice city, often overshadowed by its naughty reputation. We had a day trip there with the kids when we were in Holland. Train in to the top of the city and then a wander, food, boat tour of the canals. Tbe architecture is great, very different to any UK cities. Great day and we all got royally baked on some quality green outside the local knocking shop before getting the train back.
