Probably not worse, but Saudi is at least theoretically contained within a sovereign state. ISIS are most likely their expeditionary force... For clarity, I meant worse than the status quo in various middle eastern countries, not worse than Saudi - i.e. we go in to a country and either support what's there or replace it with something horrifying.

Would you accept that the UK government, through it's continuous arms dealings with Saudi, actually has a hand in supporting this medieval barbaric power? So, granted we point the finger and wring our hands about human rights abuses, but we're basically enabling them at the same time. That makes us utter hypocrites at the very least, and entirely unconcerned, beyond meaningless rhetoric, about human rights abuses at the worst. We like to say we're enlightened and 'not medieval' but we've invested a lot of fucking time in the Middle East and none of it has been about bringing in democracy. We've tried to either maintain the status quo or bring about something worse (ISIS).

To be fair to the lad, the Guardian do exactly the same kind of thing

The worry for me is that this was all dependent on Sissoko. It was counter attacking football that got the goals, and he personifies that in our team. I suspect he's probably going to play well until January at which point he'll be sold. We need to reshape the whole team when that happens as we have no one else who can bring the ball upfield in the way he can. I doubt we'll find another player in his mould either. It's weird - I'm not keen on the guy but he does seem to be the fulcrum.

How fucking good was that?? How nice is it to win a game fucking 6-2 I don't care how vulnerable we looked, we scored 6 goals!

Are Norwich just really, really shit, or is our attack suddenly looking amazing?

Holy hell...

What...the fuck...

Fucking get in!!!!!

Agree that we should get Tiote off - he's just going to be sent off and make the task even harder later on in the game. He's also been caught in possession at least twice.

We just need to plug the gaps though, The positive thing in this game is that Norwich are defending badly in general (i.e. no one specific thing) but we're defending badly based on one side of the pitch which we're leaving underprotected. We should be able to address this without sacrificing any attacking potency going into the second half. Harder for Norwich to correct their issues, I think.

Yeah, Janmaat isn't really even offering anything going forward at the minute - I'd probably allow Sissoko to stay up and keep Janmaat back on present form.

This is a mental game, like.

What the fuck is going on here like

Get in!!!

Can someone point out to me the point at which Tiote proves he's worth having in the team?

Gini on fire today!!

Fuck me...

Commentators seem to be blaming Sissoko for that one...

Yep, this is exactly the kind of shit I was worried about...

Get in!!!!

Tiote proving himself an utter liability as ever.

Absolutely capable of winning this but have to avoid losing concentration at the back... Elliot is vulnerable and needs the defence to work well. I think we can score a couple comfortably, but we're so shaky that I still think we could end up losing this if we're not careful.

He's right, we missed out bankers and Rupert Murdoch.

What is it that you think Elliot does better than Krul exactly...?
