    Was the Sun actually crass enough to beam that onto the Rock...

    We're away, so I think we'll win this. 2-1.

    I expect Parky will tell us that this was a false flag. The best alternative theory (to the obvious) that I can think of is that this is more about making Trump look strong and independent of foreign influence. Might even have Putin's blessing, as it's doubtful that the Russians were pleased about the Sarin attacks, given that Syria appeared to be moving back into the fold with the international community somewhat, as the war was being won.

    I also see no harm in making the point to Putin that chemical weapons are off the table, frankly. If he follows this up with some manner of intervention on a larger scale that effectively ends up drawing out the conflict then he'll have made a huge error. These missile attacks... I dunno, Russia isn't going to do a damn thing about them, and hopefully they'll rein Assad in.

    Wasn't Hillary saying a few days ago that she'd have done this sooner?

    Russia seems to have taken it quite seriously. The last few days have been interesting to be honest, it's like Trump is trying to cast off the suspicions that he's working for Bannon, Putin, anyone else. If this move stops further chemical weapon attacks then I have to say, it's hard to argue with it. It's a military target and demonstrates that the US is indeed still watching and prepared to act. That one is the one that could become very destabilising.

    When do you sleep then?

    Not sure what this strike achieves. At least it was an entirely military operation. Display of force maybe?

    You remember when you said you got rid of your PS4 cos you didn't have them for it where does this fit into all that?

    Kodi

    Rayvin replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in General Chat

    Is Kodi not now coming under scrutiny from the PL? Use a proxy at this point I'd suggest...

    Aye, wrote that before reading your post explaining the situation. I understand it now - I'm mostly just finding excuses to legitimise the perpetuation of my despair with Charnley.

    The risk with West Ham staying up is that they actually make good on their 'potential'. if they go down it'll take them out of contention for a few years, and it's not like Swansea will achieve much in that time. Lower half makeweights. If West Ham get a competent manager, they could start occupying positions in and around West Brom.
  13. Rayvin
    Why's that? Think I'd prefer West Ham personally.
  14. Rayvin
    I mean, he's effectively doing it for free now though HF, I reckon you should offer your services in exchange for a press pass to SJP or something.
  15. Rayvin
    The only conceivable answer for both is £££. if there's an answer to be had at all, that is. He certainly wouldn't move for anything else.
  16. Rayvin
    ...So does this mean that Bannon isn't running the US after all? It's been intriguing watching the media not have a clue what to make of this.
  17. Rayvin
    WTF has happened to West Ham this season btw? They're in with a genuine shout of relegating themselves, have lost five on the trot, and I just checked their forum - they're in full on 'don't care if we go down, anything it takes to screw over the board' mode. To think this was supposed to be the season they stepped up
  18. Rayvin
    Honestly, why don't they just employ you to do this stuff.
  19. Rayvin
    Aye well that's true, especially that bit about how we spent £80m and all it did was get us relegated, as if not spending that would have given us a different outcome
  20. Rayvin
    Happy to take this bet also
  21. Rayvin
    Aye but what benefit is there in talking up the club's financial clout? I can't actually think of a single one. Talking us up will allow other clubs to try and rip us off, will mean fans will get ahead of themselves and leaves them in a position where they're accused of making false promises, and so on. There's not one single benefit that I can think of, for Charnley to come out and say that we're going to be fine with a significant budget for the summer. It's not like there are shareholders to consider here (beyond Ashley who presumably knows what's going on). That said, we likely aren't going to be spending very much. But then, even if we were £50m in profit, Ashley would just pocket 60% of it anyway.

    Sissoko had a strong 5 minute highlight reel showing in an international tournament though. Pickford has a season worth of labouring behind an abysmal defence. I think they'll get about £20m for him, but it won't go far enough to make a big difference.
  23. Rayvin
    Ok, having read all of that... if relegation has fucked us as much as this seems, why in hell is Charnley still in a job? Relegation was entirely avoidable, and his dithering was what sent us down. Moderating supporter expectations is all well and good, but at the end of the day Charnley has set us back an extra £33m with Ashley, which is probably another year or two (on the probably two decades it'll take) for him to pay himself back.

    Not sure they'll get all the money from player sales... their squad depth is absolutely an issue though, and their limited funds will be spread more thinly as a result. In trouble IMO.
