The only way we gte involved is if Iran start bombing our infastructure or bases overseas without being able to be brushed off as an accident. Certain people just want us to follow the US for our "special relationship" which is the most perplexing thing ever, as the US seem to take everything from us but never give us anything in return! Problem we have now is we have people who have no idea about strategy in charge and now the global economy is going to tank. Clearly a lot of the Middle Eastern nations want a regime change too as it is in their interests, but this probably pushes tourism in the Middle East back a few years. Suppose they might all be happy if oil prices stay high when they start producing again though.

People also bought the album for the tour too didn't they? Anyway I've listened 4-5 times now and I think it is a really strong album. Agree with a few other comments that the sound that was inferred never really gets going outside of a few tracks. He definitely could have gone bolder, but on the flip side I'm not really sure he needed to. I found Harry's House a bit bland to be totally honest outside of As It Was. Can certainly understand why people are slightly indifferent about it, Apeture certainly never hit the same heights as As It Was, but equally I'm not sure it's as commerically as strong. I still think American Girls and Pop are the big singles in waiting. I really like Ready, Steady, Go too - definitely very leftfield ut certainly the most diverse track on the album imo.

We will miss him, but he's definitely past his best now. He's still our best finisher, but the job Slot asks him to do does not suit his strengths or skillset anymore. He thrives off being able to be afforded space and he certainly misses Trent and some of the more direct football we played under Klopp. Just kind of boggles me that we ask one of the best inside forwards to hold width which clearly isn't his strength. Give him the ball early and he's still amazing, but with the style of football we currently play, it's not set up for Salah at all.

Yeah it's kind of how I feel as well. An absolute scumbag, but the guy who murdered him was also a complete scumbag who commited a horrendous crime. The only difference is one was national news for weeks and the other wasn't. While I won't be shedding any tears, there's a reason we don't have the death penalty. Would have bene far better for him to let him live his life in misery in constant fear rather than an easy way out.

He's nowhere near ready to start every game. Absolutely clear he's a talent, but to be fair we are trying to manage him and avoid him picking up niggles related to growth spurts and his body changing. The likes of Jones, Danns, Bajectic, Gordon lost so much time due to their bodies not being able to cope with the intensity, growth and training. Plus I think with the style of Nguoma too, if you don't protect them they will have much shorter careers e.g. Sterling.. Just showed exactly one of our key problems this season though.. we lack width/wingers so we're so easy to defend against.

Weirdly I have found this way more instant than Harry’s House. Agree with others it’s not as experimental as maybe promised. But quite clearly there are a lot of influences. I kind of get the impression this album has been curated in line with the tour, which Aperture at the BRITs highlighted. Think the most obvious singles for me are American Girls and Pop.

Definitely many years of investing in the wrong players or just players. I like Simons, there’s definitely a player in there but I think with that type of player you need to build your team around him (like Wirtz and Liverpool).

Just proving what I thought and what usually happens, the new manager bouce has worn off and Man Utd are really struggling playing two games in quick succession. I will say it is noitcable how much it has affected the clubs in Europe this season with the extra added intensity. I think Man Utd should nail the Top 5 from here as they have the advantage with more rest. Bigger question for me though would be where does this leave Carrick? I'm really not convinced he is going to be a good longer term appointment

He's unlikely to be the same player though. An ACL at that age is challenging, will probably take him 12 months to get up to speed. Spurs look absolutely toast at this point! Long way to go yet, but they just look in a rucuss.

Pretty sure as someone who has had to get a repatriation flight before, they’re certainly not free. You pay the pleasure of a commercial price for none of the experience!

Something’s Heavy.

Two absolute stinky ref decisions today - I thought the Cunha "penalty" was ridiculous as the contact was outside the box. Then I've seen Rice elbow the ball away and VAR be like okay nothing to see here. Absolutely dire officiating.

Somewhere that holds large amount of oil.
