Nice buildup - easy chance for Havertz.

Havertz scored.

Now watch Havertz, MLS stars v. Arsenal.

No way Havertz would have scored the Nkunku goal.

Wrexham's goalie wears blue ! The American referees are nutters.

Cucurella is the motm.

You think it is economic nonsense or you don't like the player ?

What's happening in the Neymar front ?

Players like Pulisic and Ziyech would have their statues erected in many countries. But premier pace is a different thing. These days only three or four teams in the world stand a chance against premiership clubs - with the understandable exception of Spurs. I hope we sign Caicedu and Neymar.

Neymar is the latest rumour. 100% game changer if it happens.

The fuzz are nutcases. Twenty years ago this thing happened: I was in the car of a friend architect who wanted to collect some plans from a drawing office. The place was next to a small circular park and as there was no parking space my friend calls the man of the drawing office by cell phone and asks him to just drop outside and pass the plans. He was going round and round the park and the other one said "ok - in five minutes I 'm coming outside". Suddenly a horn blasts and we find ourselves surounded by fuzz pointing guns at us. So I keep calm and step outside and say to them "what the fcuk are you doing ? you are not even positioned correctly - you will shoot one another". Then one of them replies "sorry but an old lady phoned us saying your car is suspicious ..." !

Vlahovic ?

When god wanted to give brains to the Tories the angels were on strike.

Ode to the resignation of Alexis Tsipras (Alexis Tsipras s'en va t'en guerre)

A more careful analysis of the Greek result shows now that the neonazis mayhave benefited from the low turnout. Their final 4.75% percentage would have been 4.00% with normal turnout. But from the numbers it looks very much the case that the left wing SYRIZA party were the ones who gave them a significant bonus. They always do that. They don't own up but they believe the presence of a strong neonazi party will destroy society and create civil war conditions.

Mitsotakis appears to be winning in Greece wiith some 42% of the vote and overall majority in parliament. It's a huge record in a parliament with 8-9 parties. In old parliaments with three parties the percentages were higher but with many parties as is happening in recent years it is a super-record. Tsipras and the left were of course destroyed but the anticlimax is that the neonazis reappeared with some 4% and they are expected to reenter parliament. There are two more right wing parties not so wild as the neonazis and they too have increased their share of the vote and elect mps. So now everybody wonders what happened. But the answer is simple: They sell their old stories about bad immigrants, coloured peeople etc plus the anti-vax, anti-masks mythology of the covid years. This whole thing started sometime in April 2020 with a crazy woman journalist in Salonika who refused to stay at home and attacked the policemen. We thought it was just an isolated weirdo but then the ultra-rightists occupied a church and wanted to hold a mass - evading the quarantine. It escalated, then in 2021 the vaccine arrived and we entered the antivax phase: There was yet one more antivax party led by crazy journalist Tragas. But he ... died from covid in December 2021. The man was a diabetic and his doctor, a leading diabetologist, advised him in the strongest possible words to get vaccinated but he did n't listen. When he died he left in his will tens of luxury houses in Athens - Paris - London - Beverly Hills - other places and all these was found out was from black money and the tax authority had to consfiscate them ! But these things do not deter our golden dawnie friends ...

It was about money. Was happening in ancient allied armies too, irrespective of the outcome of the wars: Petsenevegs and Patsilinaks. Attila the Hun's armies. Magyars and Bulgarians notably, when they were supposed to be fighting against the expansion of the Ottoman empire.

This happens when the army is defeated: Greece 1922, July plot, Bulgaria 1944, Portugal 1974 ... What is happening there ? They are not supposed to have been defeated yet.

This was of great interest until 1970. The South American teams were keeping their players and there were no transfers to Europe, or very few. So it was a clash of giants. But the South Americans were not very friendly. United played in the intercontinental final of 1968 and they got a few kicks down in Argentina. Then with AC Milan, il notte del fuoco. Then Ajax abstained and Panathinaikos took his place against National Montevideo. The Uruguayans did n't really want to hurt the Greeks - only one player in hospital. Now it's not such a big deal because all the good South Americans play in Europe.

The traffickers or some of the illegal immigrants or both told the story about the rope to the crazy lefty opposition leader Tsipras (n.b. he would love it if it true). This is what the Guardian wrote. In their first statement they said nothing of the kind, but they changed testimony later. Indeed the towing rope would be the only way to ultimately salvage this ship. Other means such as the big lifesaving ships of the navy would take more time to arrive at the scene. So if a tow was applied it was in order to save the ship but a tragic mistake happened (plus the coastguard vessels are not well equiped for such actions). But the Greek coastguard maintain they did n't do anything of the sort because the ship was moving slowly towards Italy and they were only shadowing it. The traffickers in charge of the ship themselves were most reluctant to get any help - for obvious reasons. I don't know about a pushback from Greece to Tobruk, but the traffickers are always arrested if found. As long as the ship was in motion or they hoped to repair the engine they were n't accepting any help. If during the last minutes, they had stopped for good then the incident with the towing rope may have happened is a possibility. The attacks against Greece are from the communist left, Turkey, Qatar etc and the BBC who have such orders because of the parthenon marbles issue.

This forum resembles the carnation revolution of Portugal. We have the capitaes, los tupamaros and the revolucionarios Habaneros. Mogg is unrepresented.

There are appear to be two possible pressure groups now trying to influence the boat people - witnesses. One is immigration: Whitewash the coast guard and we will consider giving you residence permits. The other is the traffickers-activists: Accuse the Greek coast guard and we are going to reward you. The truth ?

Some of the boat people changed testimony. We still don't know but if it is as they say then the coast guard lied and it's a serious breach of naval code.
