Finland want to join NATO.

Expect to see a lot more of this as Putin drives those countries around Russia towards NATO out of fear of his empire building ambitions

Finland will debate joining NATO despite threat from Russia

Finnish MPs will discuss how to handle a petition calling for a vote on NATO membership today after a poll showed a historic change in attitude in the traditionally non-aligned country.

You keep being *with* your chosen good guys. I'm telling you there are no good guys.

I'm sure that post has some relevance to *something*, but it's definitely not anything to do with what I wrote.

What does Usmanov assets freeze mean to Everton as war rages?

Everton sponsor Alisher Usmanov has had his assets frozen by the European Union, what might this mean for a club struggling on several fronts?

A couple of weeks ago if we had dropped into the bottom three id be gutted. However, there is a distinct possibility that come bed time tonight we will be in the relegation zone and I am NEA. There are children dying because someone thinks its a good idea to bomb people. I just can't think of football right now when all this is going on. After the players coming out to The Hollies and seeing the state of Zinchenko and Myko I wasn't even that bothered on if it was a penalty or not.

Schalke removing Gazprom from their shirt, do Everton take similar measures with any partnerships with / mentions of USM?

Ukrainian journo giving it everything at Boris Johnson today saying the Abramovich's children live peacefully in London, Putin's kids in Holland and Germany while Ukrainians kids are being bombed, she broke down in the end, Johnson looked visibly shaken.

Abramovich is getting it from all over in the UK media.

Wow. She is right though, world war 3 has started. Not everyone may be shooting at each other but the world is involved in this in my eyes. Interconnected world now. Unprecedented times.

After COVID, I’m full on expecting nuclear war here. Nothing surprises me anymore…

I think this is going to become more and more prevalent over the coming days and weeks.

Personally I can disconnect from it and enjoy other things but I think the prevailing national mood is moving in the direction of not being able to do that. I had a feeling at the City game that it would be the last time there's a football focused atmosphere for a while (though admittedly I forgot the FA Cup game was this week, I thought it was next!). I can imagine it'll be pretty hollow atmosphere wise by the next league game, perhaps a lot of empty seats for the reasons you've stated

With us, when it rains it pours.

Is Finland looking to buy a football club? I think this a move we could all get behind.

Absolutely impossible to continue any current relationship with USM or MegaFon. But the early silence from the club speaks volumes. The day Moshiri invested in this club was a dark day.

Boris is Shook!


He knows Putin will go for the "nuclear" option, Putin has NATO, EU, Biden and UN right where he wants them! They poked the bear, rightly so, but are now running out of economic options, Russian money doesnt care about sanctions, Sanctions hurt Joe Public, end of.

I'm not advocating a strike against Russia but we may be left with no option,

I guess they are still hopeful his "inner Circle" takes him to task/out, as it gives the forces that are supposed to be the "protectors and Saviours" a get out! Evidence shows me these protectors are less than satisfactory.

From what I see and read at least there are no Putin Wannabe's ready to fill his boots if he does get taken out but he is a true maniac and should be feared in some ways for his wilful disregard for humanity.

How this pans out for Everton, is secondary, if that, to whatever evolves over the next few days and weeks.

Certainly have a Prime Minister we could all support
