It is acknowledged that the first and over-riding responsibility of each, any and every democratically elected government is the safety and protection of their citizens.
It’s a pity that democratically elected Hamas, aided and abetted by the war seeking Iranians chose to ignore that on October 7th. Isn’t it?! |

ye are happy to defend children being starved to death/murdered.
|
|
By:
I think the point might be that Hamas should have considered that their children might end up being starved to death/murdered before acting as they did on October 7th.

We should keep this sheite off a football thread tbh. I hope sport brings people together and in the spirit of things I really hope Tottenham get planning permission to to turn a broom cupboard into a temporary trophy room.

Arsenal won the Cup Winners Cup in 1994, which was a bona fide European trophy whatever sofa might say.
WD- do you know which trophy was the first one that the Arsenal senior team ever won ? |
|
By:
Spurs won that CWC too but I never even include it when I list Spurs' European trophy haul.
|
|
By:
No I don’t Dixie,
I am not really a Gooner but one day I crossed the floor at my public house and announced to my friends that I no longer sopportrd Dirty Leeds and henceforth would be supporting Arsenal. I don’t even hate Tottenham. I just enjoy winding up their fans. |

I noticed that Arsenal had the most red cards last season. Go figure

Bit of history on your doorstep WD -
It was the Kent Cup (now Kent Senior Cup) in 1890 that Royal Arsenal won, beating Thanet Wanderers 3-0 at Chatham's London road ground. They actually beat the Chats (who were the holders) in the semi final 5-0. Chatham actually reached the FA Cup quarter finals in 1889 although there were only 32 teams in the first round proper in those days. They beat Notts Forest in the second round before losing 10-1 to WBA in the quarters. |
|
By:
Something rings a bell. The Wanderers. I thought they might have been from Chatham. Did the Wanderers win the FA Cup 5 times? So they were from Thanet?
|
|
By:
Different Wanderers WD - they did indeed win the FA Cup 5 times including 3 years in a row 1876 to 1878. They were from Leytonstone i believe but had no fixed home ground hence why they were called The Wanderers. They played mainly at Kennington Oval although used other grounds as well.
Thanet Wanderers on the other hand still exist but only as a Rugby Union club. Back in Victorian times they played both football and rugby under the same team name. |

The Royal Engineers Association Football Club is an association football team representing the Corps of Royal Engineers, the 'Sappers', of the British Army and based in Chatham, Kent. In the 1870s, it was one of the strongest sides in English football, winning the FA Cup in 1875 and being Cup finalists in three of the first four seasons. The Engineers were pioneers of the combination game, where teammates passed the ball to each other rather than kicking ahead and charging after the ball. With the rise of professional teams, in 1888 the Engineers joined a newly formed Army Football Association.
Wiki. I remember now. The Wanderers did win it 5 times but were not from Chatham or Thanet. The " quiz " question was when did Chatham win the FA Cup. |

Who'da thought it but Chatham were the first tika taka's!

By:
I love the history of the game WD, hence my nom de plume. I don't much care for the modern game although i still follow it, ruined by money i'm afraid.
Who knew that Kent would have had such a rich football heritage ? |
