  1. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    Not even a team celebration? This does not feel like a victory.
  2. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    Can a goalkeeper be sent off in penalties?
  3. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    I hope this is the week that the panenka penalty dies.
  4. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    First penalty AND facing our own fans? How did we get that?
  5. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    With the state of momentum of this game I have no doubt Coventry will win penalties anyway.
  6. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    God I've rarely felt so tense watching a non-United club in a shootout. Vamoooos!
  7. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    Always wanted to see a keeper stand in the middle and catch one of those.
  8. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    Still confident and hopeful of Real pulling a United-style undeserved steal after an entire match of one-way traffic against them.
  9. Westminster Politics

    I like her use of 'health police' because it as though she's forgotten about the existence of doctors. I wonder if in principle she sees hospitals as indistinguishable from prison.

I do think the domestic competition's weakness matters though, in the same way that Celtic and Rangers' remarkable list of domestic achievements is made somewhat less...

  12. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    Please don't be patronising about 'how this game works', I'm well aware that there won't be some 'smoking gun' dossier, but if they've looked at evidence of signals, imagery, human intel etc and still failed to find evidence of Iran's involvement then is it so difficult to conceive of the...
  13. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    On Iranian influence, the US said "we haven’t seen hard, tangible evidence that Iran was directly involved," similarly Israel said "we have no evidence, no intelligence proof of Iranian involvement in this situation." Netanyahu was also asked about it and couldn't say that Iran was involved in...
  14. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    Hamas is not an Iranian proxy, they have ties and have received support but Hamas acts autonomously from Iran and does not act on their orders the way a proxy like Hezbollah would. The consensus as far as I'm aware is that both Iran and even Hamas' political leadership in Doha were taken by...
  15. Martial exit?

    I'd almost forgotten he plays for us. I guess he won't make the threshold for a testimonial.
