    F1 2023

    Pretty much the same. I think I've watched the same races plus the Hungarian - couldn't be bothered to go this year. For all the years of the various " dominations" this is by far the worst. Take out Red Bull and it could have been an amazing season with Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren and Aston...

    Was hoping Vikings would tank for the draft when Kirk got hurt - to find his replacement for the future. But Dobbs has been electric - not sure about his arm but his mobility has been an eye opener for Vikings fans used to a static Kirk. Plus Dobbs doing this without receivers 1&2 - JJ and now...

    Another game winning drive to beat Burrows and the Bengals.350+ yards. Get him a top receiver and watch out.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Who decides this? Is it imposed by outsiders? If it's imposed then highly likely neither side happy. Imposition of borders/controls are what has led to this mess. Seems little appetite for a 2 state solution on the Palestinian side. Who negotiates for the Palestinians - Hamas not likely to be...

    Been a lot of average football this season but then along comes a belter like Cowboys & Eagles last night. Stars were the O&D lines on both sides - a level way beyond anyone else this season.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Said it before the extremists keeping Netanyahu in office are "controlling" this conflict and are a major reason Israel won't back off. They are those primarily behind the expansion into the West Bank. Many are no different to the fundamentalist Muslims in that there's a belief that religious...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    which is why Hamas build many of their key points/arsenals under schools & hospitals and use ambulances/school buses to transport weapons & fighters etc. Clear breach of Geneva convention. No-one obeying the "rules" in this disaster

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The tunnels run under much of Gaza. Apparently key locations are built under hospitals etc. Hamas have had key resources located in civilian tower blocks. Rocket attacks are launched from urban areas - that was highlighted with the large hospital explosion 2 weeks ago. It's a human shield...

    Fury v Ngannu

    One of those things where a narrative overtakes the reality. The fairytale of a "legend" from a different sport fighting the heavyweight champion in his first fight. I watched US coverage and it was all about Ngannou even before the fight started. They were willing him across the line, saying...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Hands largely tied by the structure of the security council with its vetoes. Same as they've been unable to do anything significant about the Ukraine situation. UN has no real power against larger nations - more a gigantic discussion forum.

    Fury v Ngannu

    absolutely. Underprepared - looked more tired than Ngannou in the later rounds which no-one expected . Couldn't physically bully Ngannou like he does most opponents and his normal reach advantage wasn't there. Timing was way off from the start and as a result threw a lot less punches than he...

    Fury v Ngannu

    He "won". Take away the narrative of "it's an MMA fighter's first boxing match" and it's 2 normal boxers Fury just won in a very scrappy performance.

    Fury v Ngannu

    Fury taken a paycheck. No way he was right for this fight when the usyk one is only 2 months away. He's building towards that one. Looked like a half-assed Spar at times. No urgency particularly in rounds 9 & 10. Ngannou actually gets some boxing in and he could be a world champ. Didn't have the...

    Globally not all Muslims pro-Palestinian. Still factionalism. Not sure it's a voter issue in UK

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Exactly. Recognition of the horrors of WW2 is what led to the Geneva convention - the latter protocols of which Israel has refused to sign. If Israel wants to go back as far as WW2 for references then they bring into relevance the comparisons being levelled between the Irgun and Hamas,Hezbollah...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Could have influence over China just not prepared to pay the price.eg trade boycotts, stop foreign investment. Money talks. Western govts openly admit that China is involving itself at all levels of govt to gain information & influence, rampant industrial espionage etc but admit they are...
