    Here are my stats that I also hope you trust, as I too have worked hard on them.

    Teams that accumulate more points than 22 other sides in their division over the period of 46 games get promotion in the English football pyramid 100% of the time.*
     

    *Stats based on a sample of over 120 years of competitive football where sides are ranked based on points-based performance.

    I think you are on to something there.

    Very good point.

    They didn’t trouble us 2nd half so frustrating not to hold out, but I’ll take it.

    A very controlled away performance. Our shape and discipline out of possession is outstanding.

    Also a shout out to the referee. He was excellent. 

    The referee had a great game, he refereed it sensibly for the conditions and for the occasion.

    For the remainder of the season we must try to pass the ball to our own team. This nonsense of pumping the ball down the line to the waiting opposition is painful to watch and probably painful to play. Very frustrating.

    Trite rubbish. Personally, I'm not keen on graffiti at all but, leaving that aside, it's just so jejune. If someone were to tell me Banksy was their favourite artist, it would elicit the same response as being told their favourite musician were Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran. "Wow, you must've really thought long and hard about the medium before concluding you like the exact same massively overexposed thing as everyone else."

    Maybe everyone else likes those artists for good reason! 🤷🏽

    Why scoff at what others like because it doesn’t fit with your preferences?

    Could someone confirm if calling a rival fan attending a match with children a "padeo" is good old fashioned atmosphere or being a nob?

    It clearly depends on how many brain cells you have.

    The UK government has admitted that nine Israeli military aircraft have landed in Britain since the Hamas attacks of 7 October. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has refused to say what those planes are carrying or what they are doing.

    Personally don't see why they should if it is to do with military / security.

    The Royal Air Force has sent 48 military aircraft to Israel since it began bombing Gaza. Declassified has further found that Britain has conducted 65 spy missions over Gaza from its vast military and intelligence base on Cyprus.

    As above, why would they say? What sort of aircraft anyway? The spy missions if they actually happened are more likely to do with Yemen / Iran / Syria. 

    Almost none of this extent of UK military support for Israel is being reported in the British national media.

    I don't think it should be, it possibly never happened.

    My first reply above is copied and pasted from Declassified's website - you can choose to read a bit more about it, or not, i have no problem either way. 

    I tend to not believe what i read much nowadays but sometimes you can make assumptions based on the balance of probabilities, a lot of stuff Declassified publish is directly from government quotes and FOI requests so i do find it interesting and even if half of their stuff is correct its still a lot more than you will find out through the mass media.

    I don't disagree, the mass media are at one end, they have to sell their publications so sensationalise and stretch the truth to attract a paper purchase or online click. Then organisations such as declassified sensationalise and stretch the truth in the same way. With both of them they attract readers who are already leaning one way or the other. The truth usually lies somewhere between. The real truth is that most conflicts and particularly this one are as a result of religion.

    Whatever your political positions are, there is no way you could call it a war. Palestine has no army, no navy and no air force. Israel has all these and military support from the UK, the EU and the US. We are flying regular sorties from our base in Cyprus to assist Israel in killing civilians in Palestine.

    I have mates in the forces and they are not proud of what they are being asked to do.

    In what way are you suggesting this is happening?
