The sound of a well-informed individual right there.

Almost makes you miss Danny tbh

The invasion of Poland was the final straw that drew us into the war. The main cause of Germany basically spoiling for a fight was the rise of Nazism which in turn was borne out of the economic situation which came about because the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were so harsh on Germany and basically bankrupt the country. The Great Depression following the Wall St. Crash exacerbated the situation. It was mainly about asset grabs, the fact that the Germans didn't have an empire. Financial pressure in Europe and the collision of post-empire capitalism. Banks discovered a new industry - war loans. I've squeezed it down as far as is sensible. Pretty much but Hitler's expansion was based in a belief that Germany were destined to rule over Europe as much as anything else. I think early expansion was about gaining industry/lebensraum and when he realised that Chamberlain and the rest of Europe would have probably stepped aside unless he'd pissed on the Cliffs of Dover, he took the opportunity to expand, based on the general uselessness of Europe up to that point. Having said that, the First World War was much more grounded in the protection and gaining of colonies than the Second. WWII, at its core, was based around ideological differences rather than religion.

Triple Heart Bypass ffs. He'd be mental to continue with the job after that. He wants to just rest up properly and not worry about football. Hope him all the best in recovering.

Better start again overnight. Could do with a day off.

When in Gonzalez back btw? I remember reading Mid-February but that usually means the back end of June with our lot.

Makings of a top 6 side etc.

Calderdash!

Craig Bellamy

Had Shola been leaving and he been his replacement, we could do a lot worse but Shola and Anichebe in the same team is not something I'd like to see.

Can't say I was expecting owt less from them tbh. I've never seen people so utterly clueless about the fanbase and how we see straight through their shite.

Cat doesn't appear to have aged at all.

Xisco to grab a last minute 4th.

You have 10 Minutes to get him from Newcastle to the West Brom ground. Go go go. Those supersonic planes still exist? Concord or whatever? Will needa get in touch with the French, but we don't exactly have a good record with them at the Toon. Christ, lads. If you're going to take the piss, at least do it well.

Thought Oba was on the bench? Obviously not.

may as well whack Oba on for a bit.

ffs. This is a draw coming on.

What in the shit was Taylor attempting there?

Shit in the air, done for pace all the time. He's got the symptoms.

We've hardly been "great" going forward like. They're just in the running for most woefully organised defence in the Premiership. Having said that, I now expect a fucking lashing because these are so hopelessly shit.

If I was him, I'd be hitting the hills right about now. Can hardly blame the bloke for leaving and I hope he recovers.

Those "You are not" pics get me every time. I want the Dog with shoes on a poster.

Vince McMahon can never die. Unless Stone Cold gets to him again.

Quite liked the "NUSC loves NUFC" one discussed in the meeting. In the style of the I Love NY ones.
