Is the UAE sponsored "regeneration" of East Manchester a cynical PR stunt or is it likely to change local peoples' lives for the better in the long term?

Terry Fuckwit made human. This could be a huge boost for the jock YES campaign...

Israel May soon have to open a "northern front".....in some ways Gaza is the least of their worries if Isis encroach further into Lebanon http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-brings-its-war-to-lebanon--and-it-could-be-a-key-part-of-a-masterplan-9648009.html

Up visiting my folks at the moment, theyre all referendum mad.....was told this on Sunday at my cousins by her husband who is a raving "YES" man, now its gone err "viral?" among the cyber nats....it looks like theyre putting two plus two together and getting a gazillion barrels of oil and Saudi Arabia is being mentioned http://agreaterstage.net/2014/08/02/the-internet-the-tory-and-the-black-black-oil/

"petrols dear but cheap to burn hammers" was muttered apparently and it all went off from there.... http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/newcastle-west-ham-arrested-after-street-brawling-in-germany-picture/

Dont know if Obama is just grandstanding with his tough-ish comments but I think he wants that tomorrow if not earlier, if only to prevent more bloodshed. The pro Israel lobby in the US will probably shoot him if he takes steps to force the issue now though. Perhaps he knows now is the big chance to try to move on this, when the world is set against Israel. Fuck knows how you'd even start like but the first move has to come from the US by drastically cutting their 3billion p.a. in aid grants it currently gives to Israel which they spend on weapons currently targeting schools containing women and children.

Am still left wondering why Colo didn't want him back in the team.....

Would the £28 members tickets be also subject to a booking fee?.... My citeh tkt works out at £30-44 in the southeast corner..... or it would do if the fuckin thing had arrived...am away for a fortnight from Friday, get back the day before the game....

Theyve had the odd tiff over the years, think Israel werent happy about a tiny bit of cosying up to the Palestinians in a US attempt to curry favour in the moslem world post 9-11, pre invasion. But chopping the 3 billion dollars a year in US aid to Israel would present a whole load of other questions as you say. Has Putin got that sort of ready and regular cash he can just divert into the Tel Aviv coffers?...especially if we put a squeeze of the fuckers finacially polluting CoL at the moment? Russia isnt that rich tbh..

Theyd have to listen if the finance for their defences suddenly wasnt there....highly unlikely to happen, but as far as I can see thats the only way to get them to play ball...

Youre options would be largely irrlevant if the US hung Israel out to dry...wouldnt need to be permenant, but just enough to get them to give a bit too...

Youd imagine so, but theyre selling three quarters of last seasons first XI...sounds like hes been sold a wopper tbh...

is there anything on twitter about Koeman being ready to walk?...my saints mate reckons its on the cards...

This may sound beyond flippant, but seeing as Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on the planet it strikes me as fairly difficult to site a missile launcher away from women & children. The IRA built bombs in among their own people in the 1970s, but they deliberatey targetted certain groups and didnt just fire them into the Shankhill willy-nilly.

Blade is the only decent movie from a comic strip. Does V for Vendetta count?....I dont think I've seen a decent one in over a decade tbh...maybe an age thing...

HF have your ST's landed on the mat yet?....

Hamas are terrorists, but that's because the Palestinian population who voted them in are an oppressed people. They hate Israel, but who can really blame them? If The US pulled the funding for the defence of Israel, then the Israelis would be at the negotiating table with a solid two state plan quicker than you can say "shalom". You've got to forget the past though (see South Africa and Northern Ireland for recent examples of how far that can get you) but I very much doubt if Israel is ready to do that as we stand.

Some mates are going but only on the Sunday, they're at Bochum on Friday night and another fritz 2nd division game on the Saturday afternoon. Sounds a fuckin belter, but my missus booked her holidays in January before this was announced....again....

Just awful. Condolences to his family and all who knew him.

Is it " j " as in yohan or a " j " as in john?....

Best wishes Stevie, hope all turns out ok.

We knew we were in the right place in Palermo when our taxi nearly run the undertaker over in the middle of a thunder storm Can't say I.knew him terribly well, but as a football supporter he was an absolute one off, never met anyone else like him in my life. He'd missed one game since 1973. Rest in peace lads, thoughts with both families.
