    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    I've made this point way back in this discussion, but I'll restate it. The lack of empathy/sympathy and understanding on both sides is to me an important part of why this conflict is so long lasting and terrible. If you can look at the history of this conflict, and the history does matter, and...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    I agree. Sorry for using your post as a jumping off point in what ended up being a wall of text... I'm well aware that I'm using strong terms in this discussion, but I also think that's warranted. To me it's difficult to separate what Israel have been doing from a colonial project. Less...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    Not sure what you mean by "as many seem to wish"? Who are these many people wishing for another atrocity by Hamas? Would you be willing to point out what you think Israel have done wrong in this conflict over time? What would you consider to be legitimate concerns for Palestinians? Would you...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    And what source du you use to define this "very specific term". Having to kill 90%+ of a people for something to be considered a genocide isn't my understanding of the term. And just to be clear, a long time before reaching that kind of atrocious outcome it would be an act of violence that the...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    And until such a vote Israel are justified in continuing down the current path? How is this different to what has been tried before? After such an election will any of the legitimate concerns of the Palestinian people be handled with fairness? Or will it just be another generation of...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    Genocide doesn't mean there not being a single survivor left in Gaza. I'm not saying that's what Israel are doing, obviously. I would guess even a half wit with their student politics would understand that this is not what I meant by the word. There's quite a bit of pushback internationally...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    I agree. Just want to see him produce that magic more often (again). I think he has it in him, but not as natural a fit to this system as some of our other players. May take a bit of time, but he has a lot of quality and is still fairly young so I think he'll get even better than he already is.

    Cann we?

    I don't think the Villa game was the one when everything finally clicked. I think there's definitely potential for more clicks to come as you say too. Certainly possible for us to lose some of those games that you think we'll win even if we play really well. Time will tell, what I'm hoping for...

    Radu Drăgușin

    Sounds really good. Looks likely that he'll get a start against Fulham. Will be good for him and nice for us to get another look at what he can do. If that's his attitude and he keeps that up he could become a top class player.

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    According to whoscored he has 6 league starts for Plymouth. Obviously impossible to know from the outside what went into that decision. For me, from the outside, I agree that it's a bit of a gamble, but it also seems like a good decision to make. More of a risk/reward, or upside/downside type...

    The lengths one must go to when defending the indefensible.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    So no blueprint to follow. Where do you see it leading and ending? I wasn't talking about the short term, the currently escalated situation. In the short term you're probably right. But in the long term I think this will only lead to easier recruitment for Hamas or similar organisations, as has...

    ENIC

    Perhaps it's the way you're reading the posts on this topic rather than what people are actually saying? This last batch of disagreement resulted from a "beggars belief" comment, but do you actually know if that was in regards to criticism of Levy/ENIC, or in regards to ENIC out protests? A...

    Son Heung-Min

    No one has said that we should pick players based on commercial potential. For every player there's a cost to signing or keeping them and a potential value to selling them. That gets weighed up against their value or potential value as a player (playing ability). Son's commercial value is a...

    Pedro Porro

    Another somewhat related point... When we signed him at payed a lot of money, particularly for a full/wing back at that point unproven in the PL. We did so at a time when there was real uncertainty about Conte's future here and with that a real uncertainty about if we would be playing with wing...

    Brennan Johnson

    I think it's a bit early to start making definitive statements about what his best position is and will be. I think on the left he's perhaps a more natural threat both cutting inside and going outside. Ends up crossing with his weaker foot if he goes outside, but has the pace to get separation...

    Cann we?

    I don't disagree with you, but just to add. Where we actually finish in the table will depend as much on what the teams around us do as what we do (particularly Villa of course). Getting to the point in the season where a spell of good or bad form (or luck) is a significant portion of the...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    I still think Bentancur could overtake him when fully fit and match fit. But probably more a question of different games and game states needing different things. I also think a fully fit Bentancur can do a lot of the same running as Sarr. None of that is or has been a criticism of Sarr, I rate...

    Pedro Porro

    I was at least open to the idea of that working out well, but I didn't think it would happen that quickly. I also thought he was better as a one vs one defender than most people, he has improved, but he wasn't as bad at that as some were making out imo. Depends very much on the actual system...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa ***

    As is so often the case, stand in the way nothing happens. Stand in the way and the ball hits you, yellow card. Kick the ball away properly, yellow, delaying the opportunity to play. Mess around, stand in the way, move the ball a bit, nothing given. Ref was pretty much on the money for what has...
