Yep, take Nodge to the cleaners and then, when they are consigned to L1, we never get to play them again. They can make do with playing Sunderland in the Friendship Cup for the rest of their days. |

It must be on just about everyone's wish-list for Leicester and Everton to go down. Ideally, Man City would complete the list but I think we'll have to make do with Southampton instead.
I suspect playing both Everton and Leicester as our last two away matches of the season will put us well clear of them. |

Now we are playing global superstars you would think we would know who we are playing.
I should mention that I also prefer it when they read out the opposition players' names. [Post edited 26 Nov 9:14]

You're probably right there. Roll on Jan 25th. |

By that reasoning, every team below Liverpool is an "also ran" on account of the 8-point gap they have over 2nd place.
You might be right of course - we've probably left our title push a little late. |

Giving the ref a subjective reason to opt out of using the very technology that can aid him in making objective decisions is nonsensical unless they need to fix results. |

Got them all so you get an uppie. The last two were very "educated" guesses though. One minute to spare. |

Not sure why you said "I could point you in thr direction of the Jake Broe podcast (and others) on every other day... I don’t really think you are interested though are? "
Now you're telling me that you have already pointed the way...
It's all a bit odd.
Anyway, I'll check out Jake Broe and do a search for "and others" and see what comes up.
The fact that you're reluctant to just add a few links you'd recommend seems a bit strange when I'm willing to listen.
Never mind. |

This is all a bit childish. You have to understand that living on an island we as Brits have a very different understanding of what security is compared to those who live with with land borders.
The word Ukraine itself means "borderland" so from a Russian perspective this is like a buffer zone, a non aggressor on your doorstep. The US, like Russia, doesn't want an aggressive state on its borders. No country wants to risk having a non friendly state on its borders, especially a country with a "zone of influence" like Russia, the US or China.
Claims of Russian paranoia by Western countries are often levelled at Russia, but would the US accept an anti-American state located just 300miles from Washington backed by Russia? I don't think so.
Cuba is 1200 miles from Washington (4 times further than Ukraine is from Moscow) and it still imposes strict sanction on the country - designed to keep it from ever being a threat.
You say Putin referenced his comment in regards to today. Turn the tables a little. If Washington had a neighbour on her doorstep - 300miles away (who at some point in history had been under her control) which had turned hostile, don't you think they would exercise their right to protect themselves in any way they see fit? |

On the contrary, I am very interested. Send me a link. I'm no more set in my beliefs than the next man, but you should recognise that changing your beliefs is a tricky process for anyone over 13 years old. |

The quotes are inaccurate because you can't get some utterances and splice them together, put those bits between a set of inverted commas and call it a quote. Sorry. Even if he had said those words verbatim, I would question whether it was evidence of clear Russia policy or just an idiot mouthing off to a few people visiting a Peter the Great exhibition. There's quite a lot at stake here and people seem to be grasping at any justification to prolong enormous loss of love. There seems to be more hatred of Russian here than genuine love of innocent Ukrainian lives. I don't see much humanity on show here. |
