Odd game, most disjointed performance I can remember for a long time. So little of the fluidity in possession we are used to. Too many stupid flicks gifting possession when an easy ball was on. Poor defending, and freak deflections cost us. Really surprised Lallana didn't come on to bring some...
Potential breach in the Sorovkin Line by the 82nd Air Assault brigade, with Stryykers and Marders reported moving beyond Dragons teeth and other Anti Tank defences. Could be hugely significant if true. Only infantry had breached these defences up to now. Reported in the Telegraph and Business Week.
Sean Bell on Sky News just now seemed very confident the Poland Ukraine spat will be settled swiftly once Zelensky gets back from New York. The obvious logic being that it is in Polands interest for Ukraine to prevail because if they fall, it will be Poland next
Same, just listed mine. Knew I'd be away for the first fixture, just prayed it would be away. Don't want any money for it, just don't want the seat to be empty. Sure someone who wants to go would rather a good NS sear than one next to the Athens fans
Sobering, hope the guys ok. Plenty of isolated incidents like this get reported at European football matches. We mostly hear only about the ones involving English clubs fans but doubtless there are plenty others, as has been mentioned earlier. One thing to take into account I guess but I imagine...
Watched that in an Irish bar in Crete. Only Seagulls fan there, only time I was aware there were Man Utd fans there was a cheer behind me for the disallowed goal !! What an afternoon, what a team we have, bloody brilliant time to be a Brighton supporter
Sadly only 1, on holiday for first 3, don't go aways really, so only Liverpool for me. Don't intend missing another home game for the rest of the season though
Apologies if already posted, found this very encouraging

Just ridiculous. Can't remember reading more than 10% of the articles I've read about this, about any other transfer ever, and there's not even a bidding war to justify the absurd amount of words. Its such a simple thing. If Chelsea stump up the clubs valuation he goes. They haven't so far, so...
I think most of us expected to Kyiv to fall within a week of the invasion. I think the fact that the brave and resilient Ukrainians stopped the advance, then routed the Russians in Kharkiv was nothing short of amazing. I think maybe some kneejerk politicians looking for updates to fill the 24...
It's not said in isolation though, more like "We won't stand in the way of a player moving on if the club's valuation is met". Every player has a price, so therefore, if said price is met, any player is available for transfer, unless your name is Levi Colwill it seems !!
He didn't have to sign the new contract, and he's been very happy I'm sure taking the hefty pay increase. Club are quite entitled to expect their asking price if they are going to sell one of their best players, that they don't want or need to sell, and who is under a long contract.
Just thought I'd bump this thread as mulitple sources reported breakthroughs on the Southern front in the last few days. If as reported, they have reached the main defensive line for the first time, a breach here could really open up the opportunity to split the Russian forces with a drive to...
