27 Dead and 109 wounded in an organised mass stabbing in a Chinese railway station. I have never heard anything like it before.

Good god that's terrible. It'll also mean all the barmy Americans will go on about arming citizens etc again....

Apparently few Chinese police are armed, which is why so many civilians got injured/killed. Not suggesting arming police though, because this kind of attack is unheard of here.

These types of incidents overseas fuel the NRA's rhetoric though and allow that culture of fear of the bogeyman to persist over there.

Is the match thread safe or are we having a meltdown?

Honestly, I've not looked. I'd presume minor meltdown but nothing too serious. It certainly won't be cheery.

I ****ing hate Fifa 12.

Match thread is much better than when losing the last 2 games.

Some slightly drunken reasoning issues, but fortunately everyone now coming round to the idea that perhaps Rickie isn't the answer, and we desperately need a striker.

Yeah, that's a really odd one! Almost Poyet-esque - 'without Sturridge and Suarez they'd be Dagenham & Redbridge' style!

The sooner someone bumps off that egotistical, unpleasant lunatic the better.

Nasty times.

Only took 14 months of bad form.

Innit. I'd like to publicly thank you for your support on that one Dan! I feared I was on my own there (though DTLW was there too I believe).

I can't help but see key similarities between Berlin 1936 and Sochi 2014, hopefully there isn't another Cold War.

Ha, yep. I even wrote articles on him needing to improve and only having scored 4 goals in open play and got a shedload.

Rickie is on the come down now, people just need to realise that. It's time for us to move on, especially after this World Cup.

Will forever love and appreciate him, and would still keep him at the club, but we owe it to ourselves to look to the future now.

Absolutely. It's not being mean or unappreciative. Just realistic.

Anyhow, keep football out of Cortese's etc......!

Normally in a situation like this I'd criticise the west for not taking proper action (e.g. Syria) but what can the west do which won't lead to nuclear war.
