Yes, I thought that as I was writing it, I was exaggerating to make the point! What I should have said is that McGinn would go three games without creating something, before being sublime. McGinn was very good at doing the work required, covering back and maintaining position, so when he had a day when he wasn't creating, he never sold us at the other end. I think that Miller might do that, to a degree, but I don't think that he'll get the time to do so, as we'll simply chop and change rather than play someone into form in that role.

That's a bit harsh on McGinn mate.

Maybe he’ll go for Canada during the WC for full reality TV show vibes.

I think even the headbangers in their child killing army would refuse an attack on a NATO ally. They’d steam into Cuba no bother at all.

Recent catholic convert JD Vance telling the pope to be careful on matters of theology is a ballsy move

I still think he has one more war in him and I believe it will be either Greenland or Cuba. Cuba doesn't have too much natural resources to offer, so Greenland it is. He is 100% mad though and he will take his place amongst the historical mad fuckers. History won't be kind to him or the cabal of cunts that surround him.

Surely the focus on Hungary is because of the investment the US (Trump admin) have made in Orbán. Vance being over there campaigning for him is just another shitshow that UK media will leap on as anything that tracks the demise of Trump is box office at the moment. Add to that, Orbán has been a European poster boy for Populist rhetoric and with the rise of Farage and Reform we now, unfortunately, have more skin in the Populist game. It’s true Magyar is not much different to Orbán, cut from similar cloth and holds very similar views on immigration for example. He campaigned on domestic economics and cost of living exclusively. Didn’t touch foreign policy at all. The swings have been quite incredible in rural areas particularly, largely fuelled by a leaked video of the foreign secretary cosying up to Russia. It’s fascinating to see the populist commentators across Europe trying to paint Magyar as a leftie progressive just because he ousted Orbán, he is definitely not that. .

The Jesus thing is 100% a deflection strategy. He has got himself into an absolute mess with Iran and doesn’t know how to exit without huge amounts of negative press. Given that’s pretty much the only thing he cares about aside from endless grifting, he needs something to shift the conversation away. Having essentially got rid of anyone sensible or with any kind of experience in diplomacy he has lost the benefit of advisors, thinking he can handle everything himself as he is smarter than everyone else. The pace of his unravelling is picking up, assume due the stress he’s under. Expect full blown madman by the summer and then removal after midterm bloodbath.

was a cracker of a finish

Now 1-2. That won’t be the last goal…

Some start in the Atletico v Barca game. Could be lots of goals judging by how open it’s been so far. 0-1 Barca.

Have you watched them speaking in tongues? How the fuck can the congregation sit through that and not say how mental it is

No, its fairly global that right wing types wrap themselves in some form of 'faith'. But American evangelists are next level.

Well, look what happened to John Lennon when he allegedly said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

Most folk of the religious persuasion that I know are the biggest c*nts agoing. Used to work for a family of Jehovas Witnesses many moons ago. What a bunch of crooks they were. Just a form of freemasonry in my opinion.

Do the minutes record whether they all went to the chipper to celebrate afterwards?

A Heritage Trust plaque on Correction Wynd commemorates the location of the meeting and agreement between all three clubs to amalgamate. I believe a management consultant was present, whose advice to the suits: “a key performance indicator should be set to commit the club to win a European trophy by the end of its 80th anniversary year” was ignored. The official minute verifies that this drew the unanimous comment, “Awa min, ye radge min”.

I thought 'yet Iran has the strait' was a nice reply to JD Vances 'we hold all the cards' comment.

It's all the same to me

Years since I listened to this album. Still sounds superb, all these years on

I don't believe that's specific to US Christians though. I'd argue that the entire religion is founded on the antithesis of Christ, with the writings of Paul, specifically, appearing to bear no relation to the actions and words attributed to the big guy. I'm sure Paul was a great lad, but he seems to have got it all wrong.

I used to go on a Bruce Springsteen fan board. This guy, a Sceptic, was one of these outwardly nice guys. Kept bumping his gums about his church activities ....charitable giving etc. But he used to give it large with some seriously toxic socio-political views. He'd basically put up with anything any government did as long as his taxes were low (though never low enough as that would be zero).
