    If that's the case, their defence is in a catastrophically awful state. How can you make any strategic decisions when you literally cannot rely on anything any of your advisers are telling you. I guess Russia are finding that out now the hard way. You can see why it is so easy to get drawn into a catastrophic nuclear conflagration with these people. All it takes is for an idiot or a lackey to say yes, and 400 people in positions of oversight to nod politely, and we're all banjaxed.

    You may be right, but that's just bonkers when it comes to spending billions of pounds (roubles) on defence. It seems entirely sensible to me that the defence deployment accurately reflects the defence risk. That's kind of the only job that top defence staff have!! The only way I can reconcile it is that someone, or in fact whole divisions of government are trying to justify their jobs/spending. That seems more probable in a capitalist system than a socialist one?

    Say what you want about China, but they do seem to have some perspective when it comes to business. They seem to be slightly more open to equitable negotiation than the Russians. The longer this goes on the more I'm beginning to think that Putin actually has gone a bit strange in the head.

    Most Russians seem to be on board with the war. If they want to cower in fear, they could at least do it quietly while not interrupting the rest of the world. You gotta hand it to old Kim Jong, they know how to do isolated. (Hopefully this all comes across as facetious, but I can't tell the tone on the internet.)

    On your third point, though, it still baffles me that they are so shit scared of NATO, as if when they let their guard down for a second NATO countries would invade Russia. Have they spun this nonsense for so long that they now believe it? If they left their northern flank with NATO open...........absolutely nothing would happen. Seriously Vlad, aside from the invasion bulls**t no-one gives a toss about Russia. In fact most of Europe would just like it if you built a massive wall and f**cked off behind it to brood on collectivism or some old mcgubbins.

    Higher than us in the league and with a better goal difference coming in to this match

    Meaning Evil are saying we're after David from Lille. Crap source but thoughts? 13 goals in Ligue 1.

    If you have to ask......

    Haha, I remember this! I actually spat my tea out when the butter churning came on.

    Ooh, please elaborate. I missed the semi's this year (crazy busy).

    Favourite weekend of the year is Eurovision. A weekend where it's acceptable to get absolutely hammered on red wine, look at T&A and laugh at folks dressed up as folk goblins dancing like lunatics. Also a surprising number of decent pop tunes tbf

    Phil has got future Villa legend written all over him.

    For an undisclosed fee, Barca have done a lot of disclosin' there.

    I think I'll give him a break atm. He's been out for a while. Bound to lack sharpness.

    But incompetent has more than 5 letters. Back to the drawing board.

    Whilst I'd love Kamara, would anyone have a slight reservation about him as he's been a one-club-man, the club he's supported from childhood, for his entire career so far? It might be a big deal for him to up sticks and play in a new league, new country, new language etc, and also to leave his boyhood club.
  18. Hobsons Choice
    Good point.
  19. Hobsons Choice
    We'll need rotation when we're in Europe
  20. Hobsons Choice
    Do you not remember our cup game against them? They have officials in their pocket. That’s worth at least 10 points. They are like fergie’s side, except for any discernible talent.
  21. Hobsons Choice
    Even a stopped clown is right twice a day
  22. Hobsons Choice
    Nah, we're 13th with at least one game in hand on everyone below us except Everton.
  23. Hobsons Choice
    Isn't that 12 points? Or did you mean a draw with Palace?
  24. Hobsons Choice
    The game in hand can be any one you want. It's a numerical advantage.
  25. Hobsons Choice
    We play Burnley twice
