This could expand quickly. Some in the US Congress will see this as an act of war by Iran. Senile Joe is in an election year and he is no better than even in the polls. Politi ans always think a good little war takes peoples minds of the domestic problems.

I guees we have far different views on what is left and right , I find all the mainstream media that I have access to in Canada, the US and the UK ( i know there's Tory newspapers in the Uk) are left of centre, not far left but diffently on the left. This time around if you look at the protests in the streets and on the university campuses, other than people with Palestinian heritage it is left wing political groups and individuals protesting. In the pro Israel counter protests other than the Jews, you see right leaning individuals and groups. Righly or not, in the West this conflict is being seen in terms of left v right as well as a conflict between Israel and the Arab world. Yes every American administration has been pro Isarel and remain Israel's biggest friend, and the US , British and Canadian media used to be, but they have changed over the last decade. The BBC and the CBC ( Canada) has forbidden their reporters and on air personnel from calling HAMAS terrorists. In Canada there are more interviews on TV with Palestinians than Israelis. The reporters with the big three networks in the US constantly challenge the Israeli spokesman , but take everything the Palastinian spokespersons say as Gospel. yeah Rucksackfranzose, the political terms, conservative, socialist , left and right have different meanings in Europe and North American. To me all European conservatives are too left for my thinking.

I believe the media gives Hamas a pass and are quick to jump on Israel because the mainstream media is left of centre and see this conflict in political terms of left v right. People other than those personal involved who support Israel are seen as right of centre , religious Christians and Trump supporters, while support for Palastinians is seen as pulling for the under dogs and picked up by the Left and overeducated white liberals. While it's hard to put a political spin on what Russia is doing, just seems old fashioned imperialism and the media hates colonialism. Putin is supposed to be on the left but acts like a right wing dictator, so it's hard for the political types to pin him down. Hard to say what Israel believes the situation is with the hostages, it could be they are trying to actually locate the many different places they are being held. These places will be likeca maze and booby trapped, so Israel needs accurate information and that takes time. I think if they believed all the hostages were dead , they would have already begun the ground attack.

Didn't the rocket explode in the parking lot where many had gone for refuge thinking the hospital is a safe place and it was the fuel still left in it that exploded and caused a fire? Resulting in more deaths outside the hospital than inside.

I am not happy at all. Owning only 25% , keeps the Glazers around. They needed to be gone completely. The Qataris' bid would have resulted in the debt being paid off, a new stadium , new training grounds, the development of the lands around the stadium and world class players being bid on. I don't see any of that happening under Ratcliffe . There is no guarantee that Ratcliffe's £1.4 billion will be spent on the club, I would be pleasantly surprised if any of it didn't end up in the pockets of the Glazers. They say Ratcliffe will have control of the football operations , but what does that mean if the £1.4 B isn't used to pay of the debt or improve the infrastructure around the club. United and its supporters have been hanging on since SAF retired, hoping against hope that things will turn around, its been a dark decade, but for me at least the Qataris buying 100% of the club was the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I feel I won't live long enough to see United win the Premier or the Champions League.

Two goals in added time, hopefully this will quick start the season. Harsh on Brentford, they were well organized and defended well for 92 minutes.

What a tradegy he career has been, so much potential at one time.

Saturday 7th October, 2023 Luton 1-3 Tottenham, 12.30 Burnley 0-1 Chelsea Everton 2-1 Bournemouth Fulham 2-1 Sheff Utd Man Utd 2-1 Brentford Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottm Forest, 17.30 Sunday 8th October, 2023 Brighton 2-3 Liverpool, 14.00 West Ham 1-2 Newcastle, 14.00 Wolves 1-2 Aston Villa, 14.00 Arsenal 2-3 Man City, 16.30

Seems all 6 countries will get automatic qualifucation.

So the 3 games played in South America, will they involve Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay all playing at home providing all three qualify against a non South America team? Or will they involve the three host teams Spain, Portugal and Morroco playing against whoever is drawn in their groups?

If that's what they do it's not to bad, other than the teams fans who have to play Uruguay in Montevideo and then fly back to Europe. The articles says games in three South American countries, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Should never happen. Every club in the league would be eligible to have a least one game this season replayed.

Hillsbrough would need a lot of work, Bramall Lane not so much

Don't really care for the fans do they? Imagine having to follow your team on three continents.

Don't know whether the players have stopped playing for ten Hag or they are crap.

The drawing of the lines seems to be an issue, sometimes they draw them , sometimes they don't. But can they actually draw the lines wrong? I have seen different drawn lines that show the Garnacho goal against Arsenal to be onside.

Saturday 30th September, 2023 Aston Villa 1-2 Brighton, 12.30 Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal Everton 2-1 Luton Man Utd 2-0 Crystal Palace Newcastle 3-0 Burnley West Ham 2-0 Sheff Utd Wolves 0-3 Man City Tottenham 2-3 Liverpool, 17.30 Sunday 1st October, 2023 Nottm Forest 1-1 Brentford, 14.00 Monday 2nd October, 2023 Fulham 1-2 Chelsea, 20.00 Tuesday 3rd October, 2023 Luton 0-1 Burnley, 19.30

Probably the best United have played all year. But Palace were horrid, didn't look like they were interested in being out there. Hopefully we get the same result on Saturday in the league.
