Scorched earth is the best way to go with this. I have just managed to resource every US made product I used to buy with a locally produced one. Some better quality some not, but at least I am not funding their political madness. This has been a lot harder than I first thought and required a fair amount of research. The World Cup is just another logical step. Hopefully the madness will not be long-term, and I can look forward to my grapefruit juice once again.

Perhaps it is time to follow this https://republica.international/awc I took part in the first two events many years ago. Teams from all over the world. It was a fantastic football experience, in the way and international tournament should be. As we all know football is now a globalised industry and faces the same difficulties of all global industries. We all choose to interact with this in our own way, and whatever we chose is right for us as individuals. Personally, I was at Qatar and watched many games. It was a brilliant spectacle, and the locals were absolutely lovely to fans. My decision to go was due to wanting to experience one world cup and also having access to local prices for tickets. Politically, I have my own personal thoughts, but as it is a country I have visited many times to see family I perhaps have a different outlook than others. I will not be travelling to the US, but then the prices are just too much. Having watched football in many countries around the world, the state of the regime, is not usually my first thought, it is usually just to watch some footy, and to see somewhere I have not been to beforehand. Going heats my respect as a true fan, but then so does boycotting for a reason as I know how hard it can be to miss games.

We must have different definitions of class I guess. This is still my opinion, however you dress it up. Unsure why you can't accept this?

I am not so sure about this. He is fast and strong, but is his decision making one of the best. Maybe top 40. But I was with him referring to his team ethic. Is he a top team player? From what I've seen, I am not at all convinced. Potential, yes of course, but for other parts of his game, no he is not elite at this moment.

I think this is pretty spot on. None of the new additions look consistently class. None appear to have really joined in with our team spirit as well. We need quality and character this window, which will be a real challenge for us. Also there will be some purples out as well. There will be disruption and disappointment in equal measure I fear.

Oh of course Heroes was written in Berlin. The German version is insane

Every year that goes by I dislike Liverpool more and more. As my first match was Superman’s home debut, this has been an awfully long time. Winning the cup I had hoped would lift me from this, but no. If it is at all possible I would now be an anti-Liverpool fan. I absolutely despise the constant media fawning and the plethora of past Liverpool has been touting utter garbage. The despicable Owen is at the for front of these sycophants.

You and doing a disservice to the intelligence of footballers here. If someone was given an offer here, they would of course know that Howe has achieved considerable progress, taken a team from the edges of the premiership to winning silverware, and at the same time developed players for any next step. Eddie is not unknown at all in professional circles. I think you are being deliberately misleading here. Or do you have another agenda?

So he signed the sum of bugger all. Got lucky with Lloyd, and left us on the edge of a cliff at a critical point. His legacy is not looking good at the moment, and appears to have been an overall damp squib. Let’s see if the club have a solution at this critical stage.

Clear foul, standing on the hand. It is debatable if the keeper was touching the ball. But if the left hand was a foot, that should be a foul and a yellow every time.

Saw FGR at Xmas, and was really impressed by the family aspect of the club. I even had a vegan burger for my sins with a nice pint before the game. Poor parking facilities, but lovely area. Not sure what the hate for FGR is.

An horrific day, one I would never wish to recollect. One of my neighbours was lost that day. I was supposed to be in the main stand with my girlfriend. Ended up in my usual standing spot. The walk home was silence everywhere. My whole street was out when we returned, I just sat and cried on the wall outside my house.

Mitchell coming in late has seriously undermined our progress in my opinion. Keeping our best players has been a boon, but with no purchases for the first team, and losing two prospects, this season may well prove to be a damp squib. If so we will lose our best players, the forward momentum will be lost and a massive and costly rebuilding will be required. It looks like we have been played by Parish, this shows the lack of acumen in the top management. We need leaders not professional journeymen.
