Re: The Biden Thread

Its no different to what GCHQ do to citizens of this country. Its largely automated, but if you think we have Reagan and Carter applying via a court for a warrant to listen in on phone calls, dream on. Im not saying i like it btw, but its how it is.

There were a lot of projectiles and yes some of them got through which hit an airfield I believe but why on earth would the Israelis retaliate against something which merely tested their defences ? - Iran didn't target civilians and no one was killed .

Re: West Ham United vs Fulham FC - Sunday 14 April - 2pm

Fulham have had a mixture of results of late -

Beat Tottenham and Brighton 3-0

But also lost to Wolves , Nottingham Forest and Newcastle with a 3-3 draw at Sheffield United somewhere in between .


I'm hoping for a 2-1 victory .
