I read earlier today that they are bound by FFP rules which means they can only spend approx £8m in summer if they don't offload a few players in January. So their spending might be cut back a fair bit unless there's a lot of outgoings in January/early summer.

Is he being rushed back each time, or is he physically made of glass?

Looking at their fixtures for the rest of the month you could be right - Spurs, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Man Utd. If they're in the bottom 3 - especially given how poor the 3 current teams occupying those spots are - by the turn of the year then he'll pull the trigger. But then I think if Ten Hag gets absolutely humiliated at Anfield on Sunday will that be him one step closer?

Absolute madman

High score of 4 What a time to be alive.

Agreed. I can be a right arse hole. God bless poor mental health.

I know what icebergs are. Just think it's pointless

What is that And why?!

Game 79 - 57th Game 80 - 30th

GAME 79 - LENS vs SEVILLA - TUESDAY 12th DECEMBER, 17.45 (GMT) GAME 80 - COPENHAGEN vs GALATASARAY - TUESDAY 12th DECEMBER, 20.00 (GMT) ***any predictions made after kick-off will not count*** @Mel81x @Lucas @6666 @Dr. Gonzo @Michael @Redcanuck @CaaC (John) @Devil-Dick Willie @JoshBRFC @Viva la FCB @Pyfish @Bluewolf @Tommy @Rucksackfranzose

One winner for the latest round of matches... Game 77 had a 27th-minute first goal: 2 points While Game 78 had an earlier first goal, 7th minute: 3 points! Table after Game 78: @Bluewolf remains in 3rd but is now level on 16 points with @6666; whilst @Dr. Gonzo goes up two places to join 3 other players on 11 points.

This is frustrating. Heard that both sides missed a couple of sitters when it was 0-2 as well. Ugh.

We are all testament to that having not played the game professionally but knowing everything

Germany, Belgium & Netherlands Brazil Mexico & USA https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67669086

And UK abstained. Both so far up Israel's arse. Shame.

The point being though is the irony. Barton is speaking out like he's some kind of beacon which he thinks gives him the right to speak about the men's game. But he wants to silence women in the game even though those women have more experience of the game than he does, at a better level. The minutes of international football isn't really the big screaming talking point. It's the fact he thinks he's so up there with an opinion that everyone else's doesn't matter with the pathetic logic that 'they didn't play the game'. But that doesn't really apply. It's just so narrow-minded to think this. Bianca Westwood wrote a fantastic piece last night to show her feelings on the whole thing. She conceded that women's football is behind men's football. But there's no wonder that's the case when you think how much of a men's industry it was off the field. Loads of people (white men) in an echo chamber and women's voices weren't heard. So yeah, women's football isn't the best. It doesn't claim to be. It just wants to be heard and thankfully it is continuing to do so at a high trajectory. When cunts like Barton come along with his outdated views, it somewhat puts it back a bit because the following he has. So yeah, I disagree that debate is dead on this site. But I don't disagree with what Whiskey actually said, and I can't see where anyone did. What Tommy said also isn't wrong. That particular example of Alex Scott is a perfect one because of all the barriers she had to break down to get that high.

What's been said here in this thread to make you think that? You're the one that said there isn't even an argument

It actually infuriates me every time I see that he has spouted some shit on X or online now. Like literally makes me boil inside at how misogynistic, sexist and utterly rude he's been/being. The worrying thing is that you'll get some right thundercunts fully in his corner giving him encouragement.

I'd rather have female commentators and pundits in football than Joey Barton. He's just an asshole crying for attention. Absolute bellend.

They weren't asked in a Tory stronghold (to my knowledge). I was only giving that as another example. My issue with sample size of this particular survey is that is then extrapolated to be the view of UK Muslims as if it is gospel. It's just patently not true to assume or give that as a conclusion to the survey. It's misinformation and misleading. I know they aren't claiming to be 100% accurate, but I also don't believe that how people were feeling in 2006 is also the same as how people feel in 2023. It's a long time-frame to cast the same conclusions with. Also, my other point (which is what I was getting at earlier anyway) is if people wanted Sharia Law to become so popular in UK so much so as perceived by the other poster, it's probably quite telling that absolutely nothing has happened to make that actually happen a whole 17 years later. Not even close to happening.

THIS ISN'T THE VOICE OF ALL THE MUSLIMS IN THE UK THOUGH. THIS IS MY POINT ABOUT SAMPLE SIZE. 40% is high. But It's 40% of only 500 people asked. It's like saying 80% of UK people want to see Tories remain in government. But when you look a bit deeper, the survey was only asked to 200 people. And those 200 people lived in a Tory heartland. Does it reflect the whole country? No. Does it reflect the views of anyone else outside of that area? No. It's a very narrow and small selection of people to choose from. There's still a large degree of uncertainty based on so few people being asked. The data is also from 2006. It's outdated.

Do you believe that?

I know mate, but I want to see the admittance of bullshit.

IDF will no doubt say they were 'actors' or that they are Hamas military. They've been proven to lie about lots of stuff so far, and part of me thinks this is another...
