Late to the party, but I just think a lot of the stuff about growing the game across the world rings hollow as long as there’s such an imbalance between the regional federations. 209 teams that take part in FIFA competitions, 6 federations, therefore each one should be ~35 teams. And then...

All you need to know is this thread, calling for him to be sacked for being out of his depth, was created less than two months after he took charge.

Farmers around there are going to be probably be dealing with droughts this summer. Sounds like a good opportunity to collect a lot of piss.

None of that makes any sense: 1) We were already making our own laws, we had significant influence over the shape of laws "imposed" upon us by the EU, and even after leaving we haven't felt the "benefits" of Brexit because - shock horror - it turns out modern economies rely on standardised...

I'm not fan of Theresa May at all, but I wouldn't put her in the same league as Johnson or Truss. Admittedly I'm talking the Vanarama National versus Isthmian Leagues, but May's problem was that she was a continuity Cameroon playing an unconvincing role as a Brexiteer - couldn't convince her...

The thing is, it was never that big of a deal for most people, ever. It was the obsession of a minority within and surrounding the Conservative party (yes there were Lexiteers as well but you could barely fill Molineux with all of them), and it very rarely polled as a major issue of concern for...

Privatisation was bad for a lot of reasons but the main problem is just pure capacity in the rail network, and that's the result of a lot of bad decisions compounding over decades really. Nationalisation won't do anything to help without a lot more investment in capacity as well - and that...

32 points from 18 games for Vitor. That's ~1.8ppg - enough for 68 points over a season. CL-chasing form.

Sasa still has two years left on his deal... /s

He’s our budget Fellaini.

I remember the consensus on here being that we should have taken up the option to sign him permanently because, even if he wasn’t obviously a world class player in the making, it was clear he had enough about him to make an easy profit if we wanted to flip him after a year or so. Don’t think...

Nah, there's nothing wrong with that - coming "first" in a multi-party election means absolutely nothing unless you also win a majority of all votes. Governments should be reflective of public consent, and it's only weird because FPTP means we're used to parties getting near-total power on...

He did - sold one of his houses and had to pay double capital gains on it, so got rid. Don't think he even bothered to pretend it was any kind of patriotic gesture or anything. The US applies taxation based on citizenship rather than residency, and the embassies in London and Zurich and...

If we'd had Cunha instead of Traore post-Jota I feel pretty confident we'd have qualifed for the Champions League.

Reckon VAR would have given a penalty for Doherty's incredibly clumsy shove on Jota if that hadn't gone in the net.

The two-state solution never was one, really. Everything was predicated on the Palestinians being well-behaved enough for Israel to loosen the noose, but there was never any realistic way for that standard to be reached. The end result of the foundation of Israel as a specifically Jewish state...

As a tall lad myself this rings true to me. In school I was forever being drafted into different sports teams by PE teachers who assumed that just by dint of being so much bigger than my peers that I'd naturally be better than them at football, or rugby, or swimming, or basketball... but nope...

The Huddersfield Way.

So he's a deep-lying 10 who likes to play as a pressing forward, with a knack for breaking into the box at the right time while also moving so slowly that he's rarely open to receive a pass from a teammate? Weird. For the sake of making a comparison I'm picturing a a budget version of Fellaini.

Classic Don. Knows fuck all about the real world so all Trudeau and Sheinbaum have to do is describe the existing situation as if it's some kind of "troop surge" or whatever and he backs down thinking he's won.
