  1. Springbok and All Black games are always intense, nerve wrangling stuff
  2. I never expected there to be a fast turn around for Man United. They are paying for bad expenditure and while they had a better window this term, a lot of the signings seem panicky. Signing Casemeiro in his 30s for 70m, Mason "were art thou" mount for 65m and Antony are going to cost the team for years. Man United and Chelsea are proof that if you are not going to get who you want it's best to stand pat than gamble
  3. There is a lot of doom and gloom going on, you have no idea. Mostly about the changes atop and a difficult transfer window that has led some to think it is the mike ashley days all over again.
  4. Wasn't a great performance but it was a gutsy one, Joelinton taking on the ball to draw Maddison into him then set up the counter transition with a incredible ball to Murphy who could have gone for goal and chose to tee up Isak for a tap in. Overall we are putting points on the board early even if the performance have been scrappy. 1) Schar returns will give us a better outlet than Krafth who was probably MOTM for me. 2) Tonali looks good and sharp 3) We have 7 points despite not really playing well 4) Barnes is a baller, that finish was mint. 5) Willock's injury is not bad Crying about 7 points in 9 would be deluded.
  5. That Lejuene double was mental, nice bicycle kick then Pickford making a good save behind the line. I can't remember the other game, I am assuming that was during the Rafa Benitez miracle run.
  6. I went away when everton were 2-0 up and cruising, I come back and they lost, how do you even!
  7. 1) in an 1820 census the holyland had a population under 50 000, most lived in the bigger cities however the area was barren and disease plagued. It is only following the 1882 third Aliyah that Jews started rejuvenation of the the region, the growing Jewish population brought medicinal reform and agricultural reforms that gave rise to the increase in populations. Many Arabs from Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, what was to become Jordan and Iraq, Syria came in, those that have anything beyond 1 or 2 generations in the holy land have traditional family names of aforementioned places. 2) the mandate of Palestine was not meant to be a democratic process, it was a subdivision of the holy land into an Arab and Jewish part with the right to self determination in regard to those parts, in terms of the territory the Negev which is about 70% of the region is completely infertile inhabited by the traditional tribes, there are no major cities in the Negev, Be'erSheva is the last stop between civilization, the desert and Eilat. If you cut the Negev out and you consider the apportionment the Arabs would have gotten about 66% of the useable land. 3) Yes the British Empire still controlled the region until 1948 however they faced civil uprising in both Jewish and Arab Palastine, it is very insignificant on whether self determination allows you to self determine over another sovereign people. It was in 1922 that the Arab Brotherhood decided to get together and decide that Jews were not allowed, like that was something they ever had the right to decide on given that post WW1 saw the creation of numerous "Arab" states without there being "self determination" Iraq for instance had majorities that included; Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians, and Turkmens, with minorities of Persians, Yezidis, Jews, Mandaeans, Shabaks, Armenians, and Kawliyah in a total population of under 3 million. The Arabs took it all and decided to do rather questionable stuff with the rest. 4) Israel is not innocent in the sense of failing to have a day after plan, however in terms of good guys and bad guys there is absolutely no moral conundrum between Israel and Hamas, Hamas have killed more Palestinians and as per Haniyah before he was offed "we need more Palestinians to die" is not morally grey in any way. In UN disputes and allegations the SC sends in investigations to determine the claims, to this date they have not found proof other than hearsay evidence of deliberate and intentional killing of civilians so as to meet the requirements of ethnic cleansing. The UN released their population census for 2024 between October 7 and April 2024 the Palestinian population saw its largest population growth. What the investigation has found is that allegations are predicated on Israel taking out Hamas militants that results in collateral which is neither a war crime or deliberate act of genocide, there are no pits of bodies that were summarily executed circa Iran 1979 or Bosnia 90's or death camps circa The Armenian Genocide and Holocaust of Jews, Communists and Gypsies. I will say that there are a couple of instances that are cringe and may lead to some trouble and anyone found guilty for it fully deserves to go to prison for life, that being said the security council investigators have found that Hamas are guilty of nearly all war crimes that includes; violation on laws relating to operation of militant activities in a civilian population with Intent to use that population as a speed bump, violation of Geneva conventions on military uniforms, invasion of a sovereign state leading to deliberate and intentional targeting of the civilian population. Getting rid of Hamas is certainly a step in getting a "free Palastine". 5) I will agree that at some point dialogue with people that really want peace will be needed, but to think that will be Hamas is ludicrous. Hamas are somewhat realing. While it will be nearly impossible to kill an ideology, it can be significantly damaged and weakened. The launched a solitary rocket yesterday which tends to support the proof that Hamas are running out of bodies. International bodies feel that the Hamas dead is somewhere between 17000 and 22000 while Hamas continue to lie and claim only 4000 while Sinwar seeks a resolution that he will not be targeted while committing yet another war crime by barricading himself in with 22 hostages (exposing hostages to danger is the war crime). It is safe to assume that if there is any chance for him to be taken out without risk to the hostages he will join the list. West Bank: Arab media hit the west hard by skewing the truth of the west bank operations, despite the IDF killing around 7 combatants from Hamas including another high ranked officer and the bodies, guns, money and plans were all broadcasted. Arab media sold it as civilians as per but the reality is that mostly combatants were killed. There has been a tipoff by the US that Hamas has infiltrated at low level into the west bank through egypt and qatar, these people are very happy to let "civilians" pay the price for hostilities despite the west bank having ample open ground to conduct war time activities. the trend of using civilians as the buffer is deplorable to put mildly.

  9. wrong time to be playing spurs, we have had 3 absolute shitters on the bounce, how we have 4 points is beyond me. I would honestly not complain about a draw
  10. match day ticket sales may be a thing of the past for premier league teams but for lower league teams filling up what would be empty stadiums for a big game is a bit of a cash boom. If I am correct the smaller clubs prefer playing away to premier league teams as they get a revenue share that is far higher than their gate tickets.
  11. I am surprised Marmadashvilli would choose to be a benchman when there are many teams they could easily improve their options. Seems like career suicide.
  12. In 1947 the League of Nations Partition plan set out the solution, It was not Israel that violated that. It was the Palastinian's that wanted to self determine over Israel and used force force, that is how it all began. The "nakbha" was the exodus of Palastinians that chose war against Israel's right to self determination in accordance with the UN partition plan, if it was about wanting a good life and peace then it would not have made sense to participate in a war of extermination against people that were fresh off the holocaust and post WW2 pogroms, it was not like they had nowhere to go, they went to west bank which was designated the Arab territory. Hajj Amin Husseini, the first ruler of Palastine, last of the Ottoman's very much drove the anti semite rhetoric, he was tied to Hitler and Mousilini and following his fleeing of palastine to escape arrest following a bloody war against the Brits he went to Germany where hitler called him the "perfect Aryan" because of his pale white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. In 1944 he presented on German radio; The Jewish return evoked rampant anti semitism and the worst kind of islamic fundamentalism, to blame this on Jews is just a cheap shot, this is a conflict of ideological extermination against people that merely want to be left alone in the ancestral land. In 2023 nothing changed other than Israel is much stronger than it was in 1947 and it is the Arabs that have moved nowhere. Would I like a solution? yes but I am done kidding that this is as simple as asking Israel to accept anything that Hamas wants, that is weakness that will invite further hostility. https://www.meforum.org/5318/hajj-amin-antisemitism https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/hajj-amin-al-husayni-arab-nationalist-and-muslim-leader There was a good vlog from a ICJ prosecuting advocate, it was about the West Bank and how there is no real recognition of Palastine and thus Natural Law applies, ie: he who can hold dominion over land is the owner, the land became res derelictus when Jordan abandoned it following 1967. It was a problem the "international community" was aware of and chose to do nothing because they were to busy fucking up Iran. The problem is further made bad by the fact that they haven't had anything that resembles a stable government. If this is a Jew/Arab thing then there would not be 2.5 million Arabs in Israel, this is down to an ideological war, 10/7 pushed the absolute limits Judiasm and Levant: The new age of anti semitism. https://www.haaretz.com/2010-06-10/ty-article/landmark-study-proves-90-of-jews-are-genetically-linked-to-the-levant/0000017f-e0bb-df7c-a5ff-e2fba5950000 Back in the days when Haaretz was credible, the study was done following the discovery of 70 skeletal remains in a well escavated in Norwich during the 12th century pogroms compared genetics to ancient skeletal remains from 9th centuary BC Jews and current Jews and there is a 90% correlation. "Palastinians" are less that 15% genetic correlation. https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2013/12/20/new-genetic-study-more-evidence-for-modern-ashkenazi-jews-ancient-hebrew-patrimony/ The marginalisation of Diaspora Jews as not being Jews because we happened to be scattered due to slavery and exile, our ancestor's were denied citizenship and persecuted as being "landless". I am Ashkenazi, but my family name is tied to Aaron the brother of Moshe and Mirriam and the first of the line of Kohanim (High Priests). The Lemba's of Zimbabwe are Jews and decendants of one of the lost tribes of Israel. Zionism is not a new term and connotes the ideal of the jewish homeland which can only be Zion. The conjecture on this was that it was meant to only be the right to live in the holy land but under the rule of Arabs, however that as seen by Al Husseini was never going to end in any way other than the complete and under extinction of Jews and 3500 years of history and culture. it is 2024 and the weaponisation of media to use language as a weapon is giving rise to new escalation of anti semitism and support for an ideology that have the complete massacre of jews as the main goal is indicative of the slippery slope society is in. Lebanon Strike: Lebanon or at least Hezbollah professed to having S400 systems, they have s300's since 2016 and there is not that much difference between the s300 and s400, in the end it would not make any difference, the system should theoretically have at very least caused some degree of alertness given that the attack comprised mostly of F16 Block 30's and F15 I (basically a F15 A which is retrofitted with Israeli avionics to use Israeli weapon platforms such as the SPICE, Spike and I-Derby), these are all Gen 4.5 fighters that are not low radar detection aircraft, fully laden it should show up on even soviet era radar. https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com/p/why-striking-lebanon-is-different?r=20h0ql&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true It is a good take on why Iran don't want no beef, why Hezbollah have cold feet and why the Lebanon Government is very much interested in a war that would weaken Hezbollah to the point of driving them out, Hezbollah won't be able to use citizens as collateral either, civilians can move north under the blanket of the Lebanon Government's protection, it may be a chance for Lebanon to be liberated.
  13. Hezbollah operates the Russian S400 in sufficient numbers to have asked the question why it was ineffective and the answer is very simple, F35 Lightning II. It uses the AN/APG 81 Actively electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that can passively scan up to 250 targets in under 10 seconds allow the synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to draw a battlefield schematic, for targeting solutions, only America and Israel use this technology. In terms of battlefield control the F35 can track and jam searching radar, while emitting a radar signature that other radar disregards. A flight of 4 F35's can track and jam all Surface to Air threats, send a firing solution to the rest of the flight that will include F16 Sufa's and F15 Ram's that take out all the S400's and hit Hezbollah's missile launchers and stockpiles. The information is shared to the others and they can then process firing solutions for all their ordinance, bomb, return, rearm and unleash hell.
  14. Fun fact, he deactivated his account to get the bed wetters to cry about Elon Musk again and just proved how dangerous social media can be when a worthless comedian that got absolutely destroyed by Konstantin Kisen who exposed what he really is, this was one episode after they did the same to Finkelstink.
  15. Throwing the Nazi bombs around doesn't really help you make any point other than you don't have any. To date Hezbollah have launched around 18000 rockets at Israel 90% are directed at civilian centres, if responding is considered psycho then America, Britain and the Soviets were psycho's for resisting the Nazi and Imperial Japanese acts of aggression and since that was perfectly fine then psycho's is just fine. What is psycho is pretending that they are the "good guys" when their entire ideology is premised on the idea that Allah says "go forth and kill everyone that doesn't want to subjugated", that is psychotic.
  16. He had that bad ACL injury at his prime and didnt come back the same player. As cover for Salah it's not a bad deal
  17. Hezbollah tried some shit and paid a hefty price, substantial loss of military equipment and the #2 guy thanos snapped out of existence. It was so bad the IAF had over 100 aircraft operating with impunity over southern Lebanon.
  18. https://www.timesofisrael.com/data-shows-post-oct-7-emigration-surge-from-israel-which-has-since-stabilized/ I'm not to sure where the 2m came from but you can expect such from agenda driven questionable sources. The northern region near the purple zone has been evacuated which left around 400 000 displaced with many of those people temporarily moving south or abroad, but the amount of gas lighting is insane. Some of the video's here are just fun to watch. DDN is one of the most unhinged channels around.
  19. A player like Guehi is certainly a highlighted need, Burn and Krafth are so slow without Schar and Botman its looking a bit thin. A draw is probably a fair result, their keeper made 5 or 6 absolute worldies, they missed a few sitters but we ended the last 20min very strong when we took off the squad depth players in Murphy and Longstaff. 4 points in 2 games is 1 better than last season
  20. Branthwaite is probably worth the 60-70m asking price, Guehi not so much.
  21. He has fallen down the pecking order, age has caught up with him but a move to Everton to see out his career is not a bad move.
