  1. Would you want that assurance if Lampard has you battling relegation in this first season? I think Chelsea are in a lose-lose situation here, with a small chance of stumbling across something great (lose-lose-win). They're not in a position to get managers with the pedigree they're used to/that they'd want. Giving Lampard a shot is a big risk as he's only had one year experience at a level way below what you'd expect a Chelsea manager to have. I also understand why they'd turn to him given the circumstances they're in right now... but given how they operate and how the board has limited patience, they're running the risk of utterly humiliating one of the biggest legends Chelsea has a club.
  2. Yeah tariffs on the US will only impact the US, really. So if I'm still here when I want to get a new console, looks like I'll be popping down to Mexico (unless the mango moron isn't president anymore).
  3. No, it starts with an r and ends in “tarded” - as a result he’s threatened to obliterate Iran
  4. Rouhani called Trump something that I’m not allowed to say on this forum
  5. I wouldn’t sell Salah to anyone, especially Barca. I’d start the negotiations at a billion though, if they’re going to start a media campaign to get him.
  6. He’s already in the best league in the world
  7. If Iran gets invaded, there will be plenty of stomach for war in Iran. And they’ll do what they can to make a war painful for the whole region

    Yeah that’s a bit weird mate, it’s not that unsafe. It’s just filthy for a place that’s so expensive in every regard. Also it’s Mexican food is dogshite. Then again I just cruise around Tijuana every other weekend, so we might have different ideas on what’s safe and what isn’t.

    I used to like SF as a city a lot. Now I hate it. I’m pretty sure I’ve changed more than the city, but that’s weird
  10. Trump and the republicans actually keep increasing the military budget. The US Army Corps of Engineers (the people who built the Golden Gate Bridge, amongst other things) will probably build the wall, if Trump goes about the wall as a “national emergency.” Also if you look at the amount the US spends on its military, I think China and Russia likely would take decades to even struggle keep up the pace with an America that even cut spending by a ridiculous amount. I’m not surprised the military wanted a disproportionate response. First, it’s incredibly easy for them to put out a disproportionate attack that they’ll argue is a future deterrent from the Islamic Republic’s aggression. Secondly, anything that’s expensive for Iran right now is economically devastating because their economy is in tatters right now. They’d be banking on Iran and it’s population not having the stomach for a war.
  11. You’re probably right in terms of numbers. But I do wonder how many of China’s military are combat ready and how many of them are just a glorified police force.
  12. Is it, that would make sense, as they’ve got fucking soldiers everywhere in China. Most expensive then, because that’s the US by a mile. And tbh I’m not so worried about conventional boots on the ground warfare. I’m worried about bombs, missiles and drone attacks on Tehran - Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen are all examples of how US military “surgical” strikes aren’t all that surgical but are really good at killing a lot of people.
  13. Honestly it’s fucking terrifying having this moron in charge of the world’s largest military, with no secretary of defense, and twats like Bolton and Pompeo whispering into his ear that the US needs to bomb my gran. Apparently the man who’s been counseling Trump to not go to war is Tucker Carlson. What an absolutely fucked timeline.
  14. Rees-Moggs don’t work, they leave that to the peasants
  15. That’s probably exactly why they flew it over Iran
  16. 3 Russians and a Ukrainian charged with murder for the blowing MH17 out of the sky https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48691488
  17. Such a great fucking band
  18. The Commission also said that they want the Brexit Party to police itself (do you trust them to do that?) and they don't really even have teeth to enforce anything against any party, let alone a party caught in violation of campaign donation rules.
  19. Max Aarons is pretty highly rated tbh. Definitely more of a modern fullback than Wan-Bissaka. Granted he’s not exactly tested at this level, but neither is that winger you’ve signed

    Smoking after drinking used to absolutely kill me. Basically would make me melt into my sofa and I'd wake up the next morning thinking "what the fuck why am I on the sofa." @The Rebel CRS, the only thing I've had that's come close to the uncontrollable giggles the first time after getting high was my first time doing dabs. But that also ended as I increased the shit out of my body's THC tolerance by dabbing constantly
  21. Lol these people are fucking mental, mind blowing that they get to vote.
  22. You’re assuming there’s anyone in our government with a spine
  23. Brexit is exactly why the UK will jump in if the Trump administration gives the order. We can’t exactly afford to be on the US’s bad side as we head towards no deal.
  24. I think whichever party is in charge, if the US starts another stupid war in the Middle East the UK will follow - unfortunately.
