  1. I disagree. I don't think we should handcuff ourselves to a certain policy. Granted I don't think we should make a habit of it but if a 27/28/29 year old becames available who would be a significant upgrade on a current 1st team player we should absolutely consider it. Sometimes you have to accept a financial hit in order to compete at the highest level and win trophies.
  2. i could be wrong but I'm faily sure there's evidence of that flag being used on ships from the port of Genoa from centuries before the crusades. My Italian unification memory might be hazy but i'm sure I've read the red & white flag dates back to 8th/9th century northern itlalian trade ships.
  3. The cross was used on sails from ships out of Genoa years before the crusades and was taken up by the english and french sailing across on those ships. Obviously when I talk about Italy for that time i'm referring to the modern day map as no such country existed at that time, it was just an area of regional provinces at the time.
  4. St George was Turkish, the red and white cross associtaed with him comes from Itlay primarily Genoa region (hence why its in their clubs crest)
  5. I think the uoroar is absolutely hilarious & quite frankly anyone offended by it is a fucking moron. Political leaders and Peter Shilton a prime example. BTW they probably don't realise the cross of St George is actually Italian and was then used by the English & French.
  6. Its a very good draw imo. The best team left in the tournament is in the half with the 3 weakest teams left in the tournament. By no means any game is a gimme as they are all good teams at this stage but the other half of the draw is the stronger and tougher sides.
  7. Atletico Madrid aren't good enough to shithouse either Arsenal or City. Incredibly average team who got lucky tonight. Only teams left in the tournament who will give either City or Arsenal a decent game are Munich or Madrid. Could be an all english final if draw keeps them apart such is the weakness of other teams
  8. Koke is an absolute Grade A cunt Inter only have themselves to blame though
  9. Its utterly incredible, I'd go so far as say its actually impossible that we are in the position we are given all the injuries we've had and starting XI's we've had to pick.
  10. Masters of the Air is absolutely fantastic. They should have made 10 & not 9 episodes though. Its as good as I hoped it would be. The visual are epic and in 4K the audio is incredible. Yes it isn't Band of Brothers but what the fuck is, that was the single best mini series of all time, virtually TV perfection.
  11. Two great games of rugby today but fucking hell there's nearly more Southern Hemisphere born players competing in the 6 nations than Northern Hemisphere born players. Its a fucking joke and all teams are (& have been) masively guilty of it. England need to build on this result and performance, trust in a set of fantastic youngsters coming through and give them freedom to play. This should be Ford's last tournament and some of the old guard need phasing out over the next 6-12 months as another 4 year cycle begins. Hiccup for Ireland but they'll be fine and win the 6N. Really good to see a resurgent Italy. They've been chronic for a few years previously but young crop of talent is a lot lot better. Should have beaten France and did well to come bck today against a good/confident Scotland team.
  12. Fucking despise Arteta and fucking Arsenal fans. Some fo the biggest cunts going
  13. What a 2nd half performance. Proper 'what champions are made of' stuff. Yes it maybe only Luton but they've given quite a few teams including us som real tough games. I still think all these injuries could fuck us over eventually but the lads are putting in a herculean effort to keep going. We aren't playing brilliantly, there isn't a great fluency to our play (almost impossible given the disruptions to starting XI week in week out) but we are doing everything we can to make Jurgen's last season a hugely memorable one. On to Sunday and lets claim the first of our silverware for the season
  14. Had a horrible suspicion tonight was when it starts to unravel. Our form hasn't been brilliant but the mounting injuries and having to constantly chop and change to react to it will eventually cause too much disruption. Big 2nd half to come and Sunday will be equally huge for the momentum for the rest of the season imo
  15. The CL is finished as a competitive competition. Couple more years and the viewing figures will plummet. Its predictable & boring
  16. Absolutely pole axed by a stinking cold this weekend. No fucking chance I'm managing to stay awake to the finish tonight. I think the 49ers might just sneak it.
  17. what I personally would advise Starmer on is to proesctute every fucking corrupt politician in the land. Make an example of them & show the country how fucking corrupt these cunts were. Lock the twats and their donors in jail for a long long time.
  18. The country has been run into the ground. The whole place is a shithole due to budget cuts everywhere. Our roads are no better than a 3rd world country yet we pay a premium to drive on them. We also have the worst, most expensive public transport infrastructure in Europe. The country needs a massive reset but i doubt Starmer has the bollocks or will to do it, his mantra is to be better than the current fuckwits in charge. It'll get him 5 years in charge but will he/it make enough of a difference to actual lives & reverse the shitshow of public services.
