    I think this tractor video is the worst i've seen yet. @Idxomer to add context to the tweet, the ending of the hand-written letter of this commander, which is what the poster of the tweet translated, is actually a verse from the Bible (which I wasn't familiar with until now).

    I Had a Serbian flatmate when I lived in Berlin and he was great. I never thought about the war in the 90's. might have been different if there was a war waging over there as we lived together. but anyway, I too don't think that young Serbians are thought of as monsters in today's world.

    I will give it a shot, but seeing as I'm looking at his supporters from the outside in, it's bound to be wildly inaccurate. first of all, he's an elite.... what's the English word? rhetorican maybe? as in, standing in front of a camera and giving a speech. His tone, his hand gestures, his facial...

    it's in the favor of too many politicians that this "war" keeps going on forever. with all the Hitleristic retors of a "final victory" against an incredibly less equipped enemy... you guys won't believe how many cars and balconies have this "together we shall win" banner on them. people think...

    Yes, but I'm not sure one can unedrstand the effect he has on his people when one doesn't live here. Nevermind, not sure it's worth discussing that much. I just wish I was born in Costa Rica, or that I would someday find immigration more feasable.

    I wrote on October 9h that I wished Netanyahu was dead... still can't fathom how the lives of so many people are in his hands. his voters should all be lobotomized as far as I'm concerned. The fact that scores of people will die for absolutely nothing, the fact that Israel will turn into...

    that's good. I wish the majority of people would be able to be like that. about yet more people dying... what the hell is left to say at this point? :(

    No, I don't agree. I said or at the very least thought to myself the most horrible things you can imagine. it was perfectly natural for the feelings to take over the mind when the shock hit. I remember writing here on October 8th or 9th that I was contemplating suicide. so my feelings led my...

    Yes, exactly. people who I personally know shot bullets in the past couple of months that killed both Hamas men & innocent babies. this is almost a guarantee. Absolutely brutal. Thanks for these words man. I think this sentiment isn't expressed around here enough or at all, and eventually this...

    Can't speak for him, but for me it took some 2-3 months to cool down and be able to convince myself that there's is no real existential threat and that there's no point nor reason to wish death on everyone from the other side. Have you ever been through a similar experience? With respect, your...

    I believe that was Owlo who said that. apologies if I'm myself am mistaken. I don't know what I think, I'm doing my best not to think about anything, which is obviously impossible. My mental state is in the gutter if I'm honest. Trying to keep focusing on my daily stuff, not watch the news...

    The premise of this thread (or the majority of the internet) seems to be that there's no such thing as a reasonable Israeli supporter. What makes one of those, in your opinion?
  13. Post match vs Fulham

    Well, yeah. we were also bad when we won those X games in a row.
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    kudos to him and the players for winning as many games on the trot as they have. But still, this reminds me of Ole's crazy run of wins in which, after some very nice football at the beginning of his tenure, we mostly played badly and still won. I wonder what has changed around the Caf (for the...
  15. Blue Cards to be introduced which will send players to the Sin Bin

    This is going to be a complete farce, won't it?
