"threesixty 2:15 Mon Nov 27 I agree. For some time now team performance has lagged well behind the sum of the parts. We have, and have had, some really talented players. They come, they go, but somehow as a club we remain mediocre, uninspiring and stuck. Surely the only meaningful measure of a succe...

"All Germans 1945 ... 'I wan't a Nazi! Not me! Concentration camps? We had no idea! I liked Jews! Knew one once ....' All Gazans 2023 ... 'Hamas? There are no terrorists under this hospital/school/mosque/house! In fact I've never seen one, don't know one and I'm not one!'"

"The Fonz 1:15 Tue Nov 14 Re: Hamas attack Israel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df3j6OnbHkY Getting both Corbyn and Murray on his show was a masterstroke. Neither known for their mental agility or critical analysis, watching Morgan skewer them was pure pleasure. Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee were l...

"Willtell wrote... I just read about the 300,000 protesters in London to stop the war. I absolutely agree that. The British government should stop the war now! Well here's 1 protester that wants the war to carry on until every Hamas member is dead. And after that every Hamas leader holed up in luxur...

"Well this is an interesting statistic - and easily verified. There are just over 7million Jewish Israelis as of 2023. In the weeks leading up to the Hamas terror attacks 100,000 of them (together with many Arab Israelis) were demonstrating for weeks, every weekend, against the Netanyahu government ...

Good idea - play nice and bribe them to surrender with free bagels for a year. Shall we pass your sugge...

"It's all going according to plan. Israel has changed the rules of the game by finally ignoring the human shields and going for Hamas wherever they can find them - schools, hospitals, UN buildings, ambulances - they didn't expect that did they? This has probably come as a bit of a shock to Hamas, an...

"solidbond 9:04 Fri Oct 20 What is it about you? Let me guess, your'e either a muslim, a moron or a Corbynite, right? Or maybe all three? (I'll be disappointed if it isn't at least one out of the three)."

"solidbond 12:26 Thu Oct 12 Re: Hamas attack Israel Eliminate Hamas? So who will fight for the Palestinians ? Hamas fights for itself, not for the Palestinians. Hamas has achieved nothing for the Palestinian cause other than death and destruction and complete misery. It is Hamas which has held Gaza ...

"Nothing will satisfy me, for one, short of the complete destruction of Hamas. If that means the destruction of Gaza so be it. The news that emerged last night was stomach churning and the last straw for me. Forget moral equivocation - this is a binary choice and I know who side I'm on."

"I suspect we are all agreed that only a negotiated political solution will bring a final peace to this conflict. It cannot be solved by a military victory alone, however powerful. The problem is that one of the actors in this drama does not want a negotiated settlement and that actor is Hamas. They...

I think they should flatten Gaza and go after those brave Hamas leaders giving orders from a safe distance. That would be a 'proportional response' in my opinion.

twoleftfeet 12:38 Sun Oct 8 It's only a matter of time ...

nychammer 3:11 Sun Oct 8 Israel handed back Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005 - who promptly allowed Hamas to take control. I think its fair to say that you probably have overlooked a quite important fact. On the grounds that Gazans bear at least some responsibility for the nut jobs that rule them I'...

"cսnt on my shirt, you really are a moron for posting this ..."

A great start - enjoy it while it lasts. Unless we sign a couple of decent strikers it's a mid table finish.

Quite apart from the fact that most fans didn't see the logic in signing an old carthorse (if he's not good enough for MU why is he good enough for us?) this debacle perfectly highlights the utter incompetence of our 'recruitment' process. Moyes clearly understand nothing, Sullivan has learned nothi...

I fully expect Maguire's performances to be every bit as slow and tortuous as his transfer. Red flags all over this one - he doesn't want to be here and we don't want him.

"""In which case he needs to get Brady on the blower, and tell her to get shot of the bloke."" She's part of the problem. Groomed by Sullivan from the start, Brady has little or no experience of running businesses other than in his image. When you think about it, other than ever work for Sullivan wh...

"Goodbye flair, creativity and entertainment. We probably won't go down but the football will be miserable. The best we are going to get next season is a team of hard working, predictable plodders happy to follow orders. And that's the BEST case scenario ...."
