How the fuck did Australia qualify for this tournament?

Hmm - I think there was a lot more than that early on. Tito thought Russia was going to invade and yes, he was less dogmatic - basically Yugoslavia were a non-Stallinist country. They did help as part of the Nato force, but they didn't initially want NATO to get involved. This may not lead to hate but, not sure they would be liked for that. Kosovo was Albanian really wasn't it? And of course Bosnia, who got the worst.

Tony, I have just 5 hours of football left today! Stop being so selfish.

https://chimamanda.com/  - this is brutal! Nails the current debate I think.

That didn't look 'totally accidental' to me!

I realise that, not sure that Stalin and Tito were every anything more than Sheringham and Cole, played for the same side but basically didn't like each other. Russia refused Nato support for bombing didn't they?

You have every other day of the year to watch that - us poor Football fans have one month every two years.

Are you sure? It was Russia who supported Servia and in particular Karadzic. I know a couple of Croatians and they are too fussed on them.

£5 on Benzema first goal, and 2 nil France. But, huge slice of luck with Portugal 3 nil. So fairs fair.

I see nobhead is being a nobhead again. Only difference is this nobhead won't argue - he just negs. Like a big nobhead.

This is painfully shit. The two Portuguese midfielder's are abysmal.

Is Eni Aluko on Buck Rodgers?

He's played at a packed Anfield - he was in the team that knocked the shite out.

I've always been slightly dubious by the argument against safe standing - as it always seemed to offer the authorities a route out of responsibility e.g. it wasn't safe to start with, so really it was always out of our control what happened. Safe standing does work in Germany and it should be an option here. As others have said the emphasis is upon 'safe'. That is its primary focus. It is not for me, I like my comforts - I like sitting down.

As a second choice. Which is he isn't. He has been demoted because of things like the Champions League tie at Atletico.

Huge year for him - almost signed for Swansea this time last year but they wouldn't bump up to £3m and now he'll be a starter for a Premiership side. If he was 21 I'd say keep him and let him battle - but he is 25 and needs to play, keeping him as 4th/5th choice isn't fair on him.

To paraphrase AoT - don't be a cunt. Burchill was a cunt - she isn't cancelled, but her employers have decided she is too big a cunt. That is the Telegraph deciding you are too big a cunt to employ. In her defense - the Telegraph have more likely decided she isn't worth the hassle in defending her. She is a disposable cunt.

Clearly 6 Norwegians voting for it! How is this allowed?

Don't be ridiculous - of course he is. he is a number 3. Normal years' they don't play.

I believe so - it has come a long way since the 80s when you could probably walk to the Wirral!

But where are the local dogs going to shit? I can't believe the club are thinking of encroaching on dog shitting ground. It has a massive fucking car park behind the ground - moving trees is irrelevant.

It's the Mersey - I'm surprised it's still classed as Water!

I would think that would be more of a problem than any fish? This is going to end up £700m plus isn't it?

You are getting angry over 'talk' - there has been talk we are bidding Mbappe as well! Why don't you all hold fire and wait and see? That way you can get angry about a decision, rather than getting angry about a wide variety of different scenarios that may or may not happen. You are - lets be honest - jumping on this particularly situation so that you can criticise the owners.

Aye. I thought of him - he is probably the last one! And he a £2m snip.
