Go go PSV!!! Bye bye Man United! :lol::allegri::applause::hellyes: - - - Updated - - - Goal in Fergie time, I know, but let's enjoy the moment!

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/07/syrian-civilians-killed-us-airstrike 26 civilians and no combatants killed in US airstrike according to the monitoring group the western media has trusted since the beginning of the war. The point is that whoever's dropping the bombs or shooting...

Those are two different pieces of news... Turkey sends troops into Iraq to train YPG fighters, following the US in getting boots on the ground: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/05/iraq-orders-turkey-to-immediately-withdraw-troops-sent-across-border

Interesting, but I'll wait for a paper not owned by Erdogan's son-in-law to report it.

Palermo goes down to Alessandria in the Coppa Italia - Zamparini finds his best player "irritating" :sergio: :numnum: http://www.football-italia.net/76606/zamparini-%E2%80%98shameful-players-against-coach%E2%80%99

Both weapons purchased legally... Maybe stricter gun laws won't altogether stop criminals and people looking to kill dozens of people, but they'll certainly make it harder for them to get their hands on automatic weapons.

They elected an Old Labour leader, but the party is still full of New Labour Blairite neoliberal shitheads. In other news, Russia accuses Erdogan and family of being personally involved in the ISIS oil trade: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34982951

Can you define "radical secularism" please?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34979257 Welcome to the 21st century, where McDonalds and Coke get to decide FIFA's future. Did you know that FIFA is actually registered in Switzerland as a non-profit? :sergio:

Wonder what the security checks are like - I read something about how some politicians want to restrict it to families only, i.e. no single young men, which I disagree with. Glad that the government is fulfilling this promise, even though the number isn't going to be 25,000. Hopefully...

They will never be anywhere near Maradona. Maradona won the World Cup with a weak Argentina team, and won two scudetti with friggin Napoli, at a time when Serie B was stronger than most other European leagues, never mind Serie A. And not strong as in La Liga strong, strong as in even the likes...

So in years when Messi or Ronaldo win nothing but the most unbalanced of the top leagues in Europe, they deserve the Ballon d'Or? Please, oh please tell me with a straight face that Messi or Ronaldo would score as many goals as they do every year without a team that costs 100+ million euros...

I don't think Pep should be on the list. What did he win last year that wasn't a virtual guarantee? FIFA and UEFA awards are just an exercise in marketing, having two players win the Ballon d'Or 8 years in a row is just a farce. It doesn't matter what they or their teams actually achieve, they...

Russia imposes sanctions against Turkey, Erdogan suddenly more contrite: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/erdogan-expresses-sadness-russian-jet-shot-151128112138694.html

Certainly contemptible if true and entirely accurate, but IHH isn't exactly your run of the mill NGO: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/Default.aspx?PageID=517&NID=61000&NewsCatID=341 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1996_CIA_Report_-_IHH_fragment.jpg...

Lots of attacks against foreign nationals in Saudi Arabia, lots of attacks against shia, attacks against the military... it doesn't disprove the many allegations that the Saudis fund extremist groups...? There is absolutely no evidence or reason to believe that Iraq or Iran had anything to do...

You're offended by the accusation that people in the Saudi government fund terrorists? This is not something new, and it's not an attack against Saudi people. What offends you about it, and what difference is the statement "I'm offended by something that is very likely true" supposed to make...

Really? Yes, they hate the Saudi government for allowing American troops to be stationed in the country. But why isn't Saudi Arabia being hit with weekly suicide bombings like other countries in the region? Because you don't bite the hand that feeds you...

Qualification guaranteed before the last matchday for a change, nice! Not a great performance, but I'll take it.

I think Putin is on his own side in the end, tbh. France and the rest of NATO are still imposing sanctions against Russia over Crimea, don't forget.
