  1. If that wasn’t a penalty may my cock fall off in the next 5 minutes.
  2. I saw that earlier today, I’ve been glued to Sky news pretty much 24/7, pissing the missus off to be honest, but as I’ve been saying to her this is a effecting us now and could effect us a hell of a lot more very soon, and as a micro manager and control freak I need to know what’s happening good or bad
  3. The EU wheels always seem to slow to turn but I suppose that’s to be expected when every country is a chief, but your right it is a massive help to the Ukrainian’s and huge statement to the Russians.
  4. I would say that the government have been shamed by the rest of Europe, even German citizens have been out in force demonstrating their show of support and stand with Ukraine. All members of NATO should commit to the 2% of GDP especially the richest nations in the union, after all it’s the best form of defence in the world and for it to operate properly it needs the funds just as much as the country’s that have joined. On the subject of Oil and Gas the Germans are still buying from the Russians with for now the blessing of it’s allies, this may be why we are seeing a change of stance by the Germans, to now agree to SWIFT, supply weapons and contribute to NATO in full, I think that’s part of some sort of compromise to them still buying from the Russians. The Ukrainian's have publicly thanked everyone for their additional support but on the issue of SWIFT they have asked for all and not a selected few Russian banks to have SWIFT removed, and they have also asked for all country’s to stop buying Gas and Oil from Russia which was aimed at the Germans. It’s good that more sanctions are being heaped on the Russians, but if in the coming days it’s felt it needs to go even further with all Russian banks being blocked from SWIFT and no one being allowed to buy Oil and Gas from Russia, I feel Germany will abstain from the tougher sanctions.
  5. I’m saying he anticipated a ball going somewhere it didn’t, whilst there a players between the destination of the ball there will always be a chance of a deflection, once he committed to going to a ball that didn’t arrive he wrong footed himself and left his man free the man who scored the goal, if he concentrated on staying tight to his man there is no goal, his face showed he new he messed up the 3 pundits on motd put it down to him, I wouldn’t even say in hindsight you could defend him, defenders are told don’t leave your man he’s been done by his own movement and not good movement from Foden, goals happen in the box by good movement, players unmarked or defensive mistakes, that imo was a defensive mistake.
  6. What made it easier for Foden was Keane’s movement to where he anticipated the ball would go, by doing so he left the player he was marking and wrong footed himself, he had Foden covered then left him, when will defenders ever learn never leave your man if he doesn’t do what he did he clears it easily.
  7. Apologies mate not my strongest skills set
  8. Sounds like a master class in how not to invade.
  9. Impressed with our defensive shape making it hard for City to find the space in between MF and defence.
  10. For me Iwobi has to have a good game for the balance of the team to work, he and Kenny are my only real concerns in the line up.
  11. He will go big but not nuclear, as it is he hasn’t really got the complete backing of all his Generals, I think his own generals will ultimately be the people to bring him down, they won’t allow him to enter them into the war of all wars.
  12. Hungary and Italy now saying they are prepared to take SWIFT away from Russia, Germany still refusing
  13. Not fully granted but in 2014 they signed an agreement with the EU and in 2016 Ukraine joined the DCFTA with the EU, still they have some form of trade agreement with the EU and are allies of the EU, and on that basis I am appalled that two founder members would vote against the full sanctions that were proposed and break the united front of the West. I personally don’t want to be linked with the weakness of those two governments, as we speak thousands of Russians have been protesting and been arrested in Russia against the war to what fate god knows, I have massive respect for those people and none for German and Italian governments, and if ever given the opportunity to return to the EU I would decline whilst they enjoyed membership.
  14. I know the EU is a trade organisation but it has gone much further than that over the years, with laws concerning citizens in the EU and what governments can and cannot do, yet two of the biggest leaders have refused to cut Russia out the SWIFT banking system to help defend one of their own members. The EU have for years been harbouring with the idea of an EU Army my god what an embarrassment that would be, when you have members who won’t even vote to take Russia out the SWIFT banking system. I have been pro EU all my adult life but I would never want to return to a Union that two of its biggest members would act the way they have to one of their own.
  15. Even Donald Tusk has said Germany and Italy have disgraced themselves over sanctions against Russia, to defend them is to be like them disgraceful.
  16. A derogatory term isn’t racist, if you could ask the Ukrainians what they thought of Germany Italy and Hungary not supporting the tougher sanctions, I think you would find cunt pretty mild.
  17. Not racist just look at their history over the last 110 years.
  18. Because certain NATO members have always made excuses for him in particular Germany for their own economic reasons, Germany have got themselves so reliant on Russia for oil and gas they have crippled themselves and are fearful of losing that supply, they need to take the pain and consequences for there economic relationships with Russia and stand shoulder to shoulder with the most of the west and their EU partners and agree to the harshest sanctions against Russia.
  19. They’ve always been cunts mate sometimes you only see it when the chips are down.
  20. F1 eventually do the right thing and cancel the Russian Grand Prix, such a shame it took them so long but at least they eventually got there.
