Is Clyne heading off in this window? If not now it'll be in the summer as I think his contract expires then,

Yup not sure how that works with employment law in 2020

What I don't understand is that it was presumably effective on the first one or two occasions they did it, but now it's every single time we play them and so has no valance, just bizarre to continue to do it.

Rashford, Maguire, I'm assuming, it really is boringly predictable, I'm uncertain why they are still going through the rigmarole of doing it at this stage

Correct.

I have heard this argument too which makes absolutely no sense given that the League contains all of the European finalists from last year and every team involved European competition has advanced to the knock out stage with some of those likely to go deep in continental competition, unless of course the entirety of the European/global game is 'weak' at the moment.

According to wiki he's been sold for £3.2m, which is a reasonable chunk of change for a lad completely on the periphery of the squad, but I can't see any corroborating article that support that amount.

Having been to a few Union Berlin games their fans were always welcoming are and a good laugh. Though I think on the whole the Germans seem to get more out of the game. Honourable mention to ferencvaros who seem to have a bit of a love in for us and Celtic that I was unaware of until I accidentally ended up with their away fans, they were boss, free entry, free drugs and booze and gave us the heads up in avoiding the police when they decided to get aggressive.

While the manner of the Chelsea defeat in 2014 was awful (especially when knowing it was Gerrard's last chance at the title) the defeats you feel in your youth are incredibly stinging, in the 90's our mecurial/ineffectual side served up loads of these for me; 1994 Bristol City fucking Tinnion 0-1, 1995 Klinsmann's Spurs later winner at Anfield 1-2, 1995 0-1 to Brondby at home and that bawbag Dan Eggen, 1996 Cantona ruining my day 0-1 (actually cried at that), 1997 Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge where we had been 0-2 up at half time with the cunt Motson squealing with delight throughout the entire second half capitulation. Because most of these occurred in the FA cup* I still have a serious disdain for the competition, combined with being brought up north of the boarder meant I never really got the sycophantic infatuation 'with the romance of the cup' that many down here have, I've actively rejoiced in it's denigration and generally I'm far more interested in the League Cup, to the point where I'd rather Liverpool win the latter competition. *probably was pinning more hopes on the cups as we were further away in the league

Really dislike the way BBC commentators do this constantly equating reserve sides and first teams.

Yup need to develop some gills

Our weather will be like madeira's by 2050, that might temp some :0) It'll just be the insect population collapse, waves of immigrations, sea level rise and endless flooding which will give the brits something to moan about. The Greeks comment was a bit throw away, but I think immigration policies will start to reflect white nationalist attitudes to an event greater extent than the current practice.

Wouldnae worry, with our gang of right wing cunts in charge anyone who is whiter than a greek and if from 'the right kind of place' will have easy passage over here.

Nup, fuck off I don't care how unpopular this is going to be I'm just going to say it, You reap what you sow, Australia has been one of the leading lights in terms of climate change denialism and blockage of any attempt internationally to move towards emissions reductions. It's population have been voting in climate change denialist governments for ages even though it only takes a brief google to realise the effect climate change will have on the tinder box continent: https://www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au/en/climate-projections/future-climate/regional-climate-change-explorer/super-clusters/?current=ESC&tooltip=true&popup=true I was pissing myself the other day when there was some lad on the BBC saying through prayer the fires stopped before it engulfed them on the beach, how about stop praying and start backing green party candidates, reducing the vast array of fossil fuels you are using domestically/exporting abroad, cutting your emissions and making a noise about this on the international stage? All I would say is if you want masses paid in infrastructure/climate change mitigation to deal with the fires are you happy with your taxes ballooning and probably the cost of every other state run/funded service going? If not, then get ready for a sizable chunk of your country and proportion of your population to look like an ashen wasteland most summers, It's a pity Britain is so servile, it will no doubt let loads of Australians and expat brits back into the UK, when if there was some justice they would park them in the Jungle like the aussies do on Nauru and Manus. People reading this may think I've had an empathy bypass, but seriously given the Australian government/media/populations record on this issue I say fuck em, let them burn.

This is akin to the head of MI5/de facto foreign secretary being assassinated by another state, I think there will be significant repercussions to this, in particular shipping in the gulf will be disrupted again and there may be more Iranian drone strikes on U.S allies in the region. Can't help but think that said US allies are probably not best impressed with this, if not surprised given the recent impeachment and the lack of foresight from this administration.
