I'm sorry, it's not savagery for Israel to murder thousands of civilians in light of what Hamas did, but savagery for Hamas to do what they did in light of what Palestine has been subjected to over decades? Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and children slaughtered? Occupation, blockade, apartheid, violation of international law and countless war crimes? I'm curious at what point does Israel become 'savage'? Whatever the history, what Hamas did is inexcusable and indefensible. I apply the same standards to Israel and put them in the same bracket. Possibly worse actually if you start thinking about it because they have a well armed military to defend themselves, Gaza does not. I was trying to not get into that gutter game. Children murdering terrorists are children murdering terrorists. I dont care what they call themselves, what they look like or what language they speak. Fucking terrorists the lot of them.

Oh dear, is that a credible story? It's not widely reported yet. Craig Hope will have a field day nonetheless.

Not that anybody else has covered themselves in glory to be honest including their Middle Eastern neighbours. Take the Yemen civil war also, I dont recall any regional or Islamic power call out the atrocities there or try and make a real effort to put an end to the killing and mass starvation fuelled by the proxy war. It was hardly in the news actually.

Ok so I've deleted my post again Purely because I've zero intention of scoring points here. Feel shitty enough seeing people do that on Twitter and the like so it's the last thing we need here. I was trying to say that we've got very little moral high ground left anywhere. Not that that's new. Trying to make sense of a situation where there's none really. Those that said 'humanity is fucked' and promplty left the discussion got it spot on I think

Tbf there's no real way of knowing what the gulf in quality between the two leagues is as well, since the three teams that beat them to promotion last season are doing so well in the prem now, every reason to think this Neil bloke can be the next Declan Rice.

Its not about belief mate. This is a decades old problem right and I think its always important to think of this matter with that in mind and not only what's happened recently. If you think my opinion is based on that one BBC interview then let me clarify that it's not. Wont drag the argument (international break or not) as you said you dont want to get into it which is 100% understandable. The media coverage thing irks me only because I think it's important in fuelling the feeling of injustice and hatred the likes of Hamas will use to push people over the edge. One of the interesting things I found about having lived/worked in a number of very different countries/cultures is having your pre-conceived notions challenged and discovering that you indeed grew up with baises. I suppose most do. I do try and make an effort in questioning if my own beliefs are biases.

The 'bias' is clear as day. Fair enough though. It was food for thought, nooone really changes their opinions based on internet posts.

I'll just leave this here then....

Completely agree. Man City preferably. Perhaps Arsenal otherwise. Want to see Liverpool and Man Utd dwindle down to nothingness the insufferable pricks. Ten Hag is making good progress on that. Shame Liverpool signed a couple of decent players and look to be a force again.

Freaking international break..... I enjoyed Bob's burgers more than Simpsons etc, its' got far less outlandish stuff in it I think. H Jon Benjamin is class

What have we done as outsiders? I said this years before when we've discussed this 'conflict' here, that what I find unique about this situation is that the world has funded, armed and rallied behind a brutal, invading, occupying force. Contrast that to most other recent wars. Any idiot versed in basic history can tell you that a desperate, extreme and terrible insurgency is a likely outcome in this scenario, so one can only assume the world in general is okay with this result because we aren't doing anything to try and change it. Just repeating more of the same mistakes. Desperately hope Gloomy's family and all innocent folk out there can stay safe from this horrible, depressing situation. For the ones in Israel at least there is some hope. What to say for the 3 million, half of them kids, stuck in a 100km strip of land with no where to escape to and now cut off from power and food, I just don't know.

Has he got a long range shot on him? Can remember one or two decent strikes for Milan but not many off the top of my head. I think that's why one of the areas the midfield can mix it up a little. Bruno, Longy and Anderson are too predictable in that respect as they seem very reluctant to take a shot on from outside the box even when there seems to be space. Bruno was doing it in his first season, he's got it in him but its been switched off for some reason.

You get the feeling that he's got it in him though. I've no idea why some of Twitter seems to be slagging him off because I thought he was our best player in that poor first half. As Fish said some of his forward looking passes in the second half didnt come off, but you could see the ideas are there. Some of the link up one touch play was lovely too, I think he's going to be class.

Probably looked his best this season running with the ball. He's got the ability to score pretty much any type of goal so he's going to be right up there in the scoring charts as long as he gets some sort of delivery. Gordon and Willock with their running will create a lot more space for him too.

Yeah I'm happy overall with the point. Don't forget we came back from a goal down and a very average first half performance too. International break and some key players coming back.

Bruno and longy both looked off it. Miggy and Anderson just keep cutting back and slowing down attacks. We need Gordon and hopefully Barnes back soon.

Disappointed to concede the late goal but a decent point overall. Didn't create much but we controlled most of the game. Isak really should have scored that 1on1 and gotten his hattrick

Are we going to lose this now after controlling the 90 min....

Gave him too much space. One bad moment and punished

Ffs

Lascelles has had a few heart in mouth moments. Just get rid off the ball now man

A few players on yellows now. Need calm heads

Anderson been much better second half.

Miggy there again...get him off

Ah man Isak almost...
