  1. He didn’t cost 25m so it wouldn’t be a big hit. He was what 2m or 5m?
  2. south korea is one of our largest trading partners and allies. they have a robust economy and produce a lot of electronics and tech. the only thing Afghanistan was exporting to the US was heroin. My wife taught English in South Korea and lived there, she loved the country and the people. We eat their cuisine regularly as my wife prepares it or we go to a Korean restaurant. I would say most americans think very favorably of South Korea just like they do Japan. Products made in Japan or South Korea are thought of highly in terms of quality. edit: there are a lot of immigrants from south korea as well, in LA there is koreatown which is a massive area which a lot of them live. i used to live near there and it was wild, for blocks and blocks of the city, signs, billboards, everythign was in korean, you all of a sudden were transported to another country. wild. great food. had some wonderful korean friends when we lived in LA.
  3. there was a so called "brawl" when trump was in with him battling mitch and co to pass the budget as well, no one cared once it was passed. win is a win.
  4. i think he was humbled being sold to the german league. getting a chance with us he's hungry and ready to prove he is up to this level. it was a great signing.
  5. i didn't notice odegaard much last year, was he good in the premier league? im kinda confused why they signed him but maybe he was good
  6. yes most don't answer the question, they do a swerve and say something else so they are still being positive but not lying. like benitiez when asked if ronaldo was best player in the world "he's the best player i've managed". was still complementary but didn't agree with the question of best in the world, just said best he managed. that's his thing around here, whether he believes it or not he just devil's advocate everything.
  7. digne said in an interview Silva was the most tactical manager he ever had, he said the sessions on tactics Marco went the deepest. Digne played at PSG and Barca BTW. I liked Marco. I wished he had done better. I hope he does with Fulham. The players all seemed to like him.
  8. just announced if you got pfizer or moderna there is a booster shot 8 months after your second dose. available next month. J&J shot will offer one as well.
  9. yeah and mitrovic is healthy again and scoring. they have a decent squad and didn't lose much when they dropped.
  10. once that 1 trillion infrastructure bill gets passed and the potholes/broken bridges are repaired, and people get their free internet, no one will care about afghanistan (rightly or wrongly). he's done this stratigically so it will be erased in a news cycle by that passing, and the budget which includes a ton of money for other stuff (child tax credit permanence being one) as well. those will dwarf this. every president has a military fuckup, sadly it's part of the US makeup to play GI-Joe. it won't define him.
  11. thing is palfy polls show majority of americans want us out of there, even after this fiasco. they don't care, they think we need to fix the issues in our country first. he is doing the will of the people. might not be pretty, but it's what WE want.
  12. agreed i'm rooting for them, have always had a soft spot for fulham
  13. https://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/story/4455852/can-evertons-rafa-benitez-win-over-the-fans-despite-his-liverpool-past I didn’t know he was so generous with his money or that he’d donated to Rhys mum. Nice to see that, it definitely fits the fabric of our club. He’s got some more proving to do on the pitch but this was nice to read.
  14. brands has made his transfer list, checked it twice, let's hope jon here isn't naughty but nice
  15. if i found him underneath my christmas tree, i wouldn't be mad
  16. wanted to ask on this, i realize you were going for a pun there but do we get a pittance from this or if United get him and sell him for big bucks do we get a decent wedge?
  17. i thought sasha was moshiri's man he put in on day 1. or do i have that wrong?
  18. they didn't humble us! we left and they defeated the afghans. we defeated them and controlled the country comfortably for 20 years with a couple thousand troops that's it. i am not a big trump fan, but i am not some partisan all good or all bad politico. i liked some of the things trump did or stood for. i'm ok saying that. i would hope some repubs could say the same about biden or obama. i liked his isolationism and his claims he would "end all the wars". he didn't do that (he didn't completely end them, so technically he didn't fulfill that promise) but he got the ball rolling. i don't like team america world police thing. people often don't realize (not saying this is you, you seem intelligent) that the far left and far right actually have some things they agree on, Bernie Sanders and Trump were both anti-china and pro-isolationism. both were pro-US manufacturing and jobs and anti-amazon.
  19. i understand we are massive compared to others, but surely the Uk gov (you're not in eu so i don't think you get access to their military anymore?) has enough to beat some rebels in the desert. it wasn't an actual war, it was an excuse for economic production and defense spending. i'm laughing at these republicans "why end this, look what happened". fact of the matter is they don't care one iota about the people there, they just care about the defense spending and wanting another war for the economy. don't for one second think the outcry is about the people, it's not.
  20. Realized I’m missing this one as well, signed up to do a charity event.
  21. After all the fuck ups with ticketing and basic running of the business I am not surprised at all.
  22. You are capable you have a ton of money and military as well. I’m not sure why we need to be the global police. I’m all for isolationism, let’s worry about fixing the ills in our own country first before we try and mess with other countries. We have mass poverty, violence, crime, etc, let’s work on righting those wrongs first in America.
  23. I understand you are upset palfy, I just don’t think we had any business there in the first place. In america schools they love to talk about how we were tops in the world post WWII because that war gave generated so much money and helped establish the middle class. Ever since then politicians think the best way to solve the failing economy is to just have another war! Seriously. They do it for the economic production, it’s sickening. We shouldn’t have been there, or Iraq; or Kuwait, it’s not our place. Those people have customs and history that have nothing to do with us. Team america world police is not needed. They need to work those things out themselves, else we get this current situation where we tried to change it and help and 20 years later it reverts back overnight because our way just isn’t the way. lastly, why aren’t you pissed at your government? Shouldn’t you be petitioning them to help and intervene? Why us?
