  • Jam replied to the thread Marcus Rashford (Out).
    If we play Devil’s advocate and assume it is 100% a conscious tactical decision…. Then why not have him with higher involvement and do 60-70 minutes from the start, or have him come on and go full pelt 20-30 minutes. Or have him go (reasonably)...
  • Jam replied to the thread Marcus Rashford (Out).
    Watching Messi stroll about not being involved in off the ball situations is mildly annoying to see - but you can also understand he was a 30+ year old who had 12+ years being the best or second best player in the world and the most valuable on...
  • Not even close? The Iron Dome is the most tested and effective air defence system in the world. That’s a fact. In terms of actual national coverage and success rate it’s a fact. To say “not even close” on Israel’s air defence capabilities...
  • But Israel is the one who forced the mask off with a direct attack on Iran. Iran couldn’t continue to hide behind proxies in that scenario; they “had” to respond. Israel has goaded Iran into a direct conflict and at this point frankly controls...
  • Can you give a non-Israel government source proving civilian centres were the targets of most of this attack?
  • Is there any credible intelligence of civilian targets? Israel isn’t a dictatorship and is also increasingly reliant on Western allies. Even without direct democracy of an election Bibi’s position can be untenable to a point of removal when the...
  • Jam replied to the thread Casemiro | 2023/24 Performances.
    That’s partially a mis-read. The players around him, and the system we play, absolutely does not suit him in this situation. Not that we should change the squad completely to accommodate Casemiro but this club loves square pegs in round holes...
  • Netenyahu situation is completely fecked up. I’m not totally up to date on the domestic read on him this week since the Iranian announcement, but it has been increasingly untenable for months now and somethings going to break in Israel. On a...
  • This will not escalate to WWIII. I get it’s a tense situation, and lives are being lost, but try not to fall for scaremongering or to do so for others.
  • I can’t believe I’m saying this but so far this is seemingly a measured and calibrated response by Iran too. They announced retaliation, it was leaked to high heaven and from what I’ve seen so far the attacks have been very targeted and avoided...
  • They’ll limit their involvement but Iran is incredibly important for them in the region as an Anti-West stronghold and regional agitator. A stable and westernised Middle East isn’t something they’ll let happen.
  • I’m somewhere around here. There’s definitely a lot of positives around him, but it’s frustrating that he is the main 9 at the club and there is quite literally no one else. He absolutely isn’t ready to be THE 9 at a club like United with the...
  • Jam replied to the thread Casemiro | 2023/24 Performances.
    This one hurts. Genuinely one of the best midfielders in the league for much of last season - but now aside from a game or a half here and there he’s been an absolute shadow of himself this season. Mix between his legs, his mentality, the...
  • Last part is very true. It’s very very easy to take pot shots at Chelsea’s squad because of their cost and performance. However you do have to consider the fact they were basically bought by throwing darts at a board, and have non-existing...
  • Jam replied to the thread Television 3 Body Problem.
    Depends. Even a lot a book readers are saying some of the streamlining is for the better. I’m not a fan of the “Oxford five” element of the show, in this global event these five university friends are central to it in their own ways. It was...
