And whilst 2019 Chernobyl series was a dramatisation, anyone who knows anything about Chernobyl agrees that it got right the issue. Which wasn’t the inherent dangers of nuclear energy, or even individual human error. It was about trying to do things on the cheap to the point where the fail safes end up being the cause of a major disaster.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
There are risks, with many nuclear plants you do need access to water and with Fukushima the problem is, it’s in a country which is prone to heavy seismic activity which brought about the tsunami. But as opposed to Chernobyl it was actually the efficiency of those working there that made sure things weren’t worse than they were, and Japan is looking to reboot its nuclear program.
Germany is the worst culprit, its naysaying has made it reliant on Russian energy yet its neighbour in France has proved that you can have an efficient Nuclear powered energy network
Yeah that’s my bad. I’m not great at compartmentalising my trains of thought
Yeah, it's been great news to see the youngsters come through - so far. But if that was the strategy then I wonder why we've also been dumping young talent on Utd? I know we didn't want to get rid of them, but we didn't do what was necessary to keep them either. It's a shame because chances are those players go nowhere with Utd.
Even so, if Arteta told us in the summer we were relying on youth and chucking them in to go up against a city team we'd closed the gap to 2 points on? I don't think that would have gone down so well. So many young players have come through and had their chance and they are all elsewhere now, doing not so much bar the odd exception. It's the nature of the game, you can never really know until you try over a protracted period.
If that's the policy then it still feeds into the idea we're not prepared to spend or are incapable of it.
Has anyone else seen these rumours we're thinking of dumping 300mill into a stadium expansion? If there's any truth in that we've probably just seen the end of our "Almost Won Something" era under Arteta.

I'm not a fan of Nuclear tbh but it was more the Trumpish language i objected to, can't he come out with some original BS instead of someone else's - first Mandy putting his head up Trump's arse and now that
These guys were right then and they're right now
Arteta's only ever brought younger players through when forced to through injuries and absences, while he gave chances to Nwaneri, MLS and Nicholls in pre-season, he underplayed Nwaneri when Ode was out and MLS only came in when others were injured, plus as you say there's players we let go which is making us look silly now.
We are culturally closer to America than arguably any other country in the world. The so called special relationship does tend to be embarrassingly one-sided but it’s the country within the Anglosphere with the biggest population, most money and most global influence so does kind of make sense. And whilst we don’t have a trade deal with them, we are very good at importing their nonsense from the sociological idiocy like critical race theory, gender politics and stuff like that to the unfiltered crap that Trump comes out with (although drill baby drill is a pre Trump thing, Bush and McCain have used it on their political platforms)
Starmer is ultimately someone who in many ways is far from the ideal person to be prime minister at the moment, and that’s because he lacks imagination. Labour would be far better off trying to sell a reworking of post 1945 or American New Deal politics…..big projects with infrastructure building new transport hubs, creating a new energy network (it’s kind of doing that, but not in a substantive way) as well as replenishing front line services (more doctors, more nurses, more police, more prisons) as well as exploring creative ways of dealing with social care and health.
Starmer is not a big ideas man
Liberal/Left parties also need to get a jump on right wing parties by getting a grasp not just on immigration but sectarianism by reaffirming liberal values. Why the fuck for instance are GMP arresting a guy for racially motivated offence for attempting to burn his own copy of the Quran. We do not have blasphemy laws in this country and nor should we ever have, and it’s depressingly obvious why police do this. It’s because they are scared of the reaction of Pavlovian dogs who have been inculcated to behave like atavistic barbarians whenever any slight is perceived against Islam.
It helps no one to enable this behaviour and comply with the belief that these people have that UK law should protect their right not to be offended. It also clearly doesn’t help the Muslims who don’t behave like this and want to just get on with their lives. If we stop pretending that it’s racist to say that there are numerous aspects of Islam that are entirely incompatible with liberal western values, and that burning your own copy of the Quran, showing images of Mohammed etc aren’t equivalent to taking a dump in a mosque or singling out Muslims for assault or abuse.
Of course it would be more complicated than that, we’d need to identify the Saudi Arabia funding of Wahhabist doctrine as well as its funding of Western Universities to promote the idea that criticism of the faith is this nonsense term “Islamophobia”
It would do a good job of filtering out people who do not want the tentacles of an illiberal doctrine to bury itself in Britain and those who simply want to promote racial division.
Fair point about the league cup, but we had the full team out in the FA Cup and CL when we crashed out of those, it didn't stop us winning the league (although I'll admit I feared for us when we were behind against Liverpool). I guess my overall point is if we fail to win the league then it won't be because we went out of the league cup semi-final. It'll be the lack of a striker and squad depth.
So should we have signed somebody of not? Sign Starmer and play him on the right wing, or just send him to Rwanda on a free.
