Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!
This is a difficult one! It’s either Spurs being at the top or Man. Utd not appearing at all?
Early days yet Steven.
I’m not a Spurs fan, especially since Dempsey decided to end his career by playing for Seattle.
that villa are now in the top 10
Man Utd below Cardiff. What could be better/worse. A lowly welsh club above the great MU.
Steve, heads up on this article if you have not seen it. Propaganda.

One of my trolls bragged about this one.
According to this newspaper though
Until the Nordic Orion, however, the passage was travelled mostly by icebreakers, tugs and small cargo ships hauling supplies to northern communities
In other words, it was nothing new.
It also appears the Nordic was “ice strengthened”, i.e effectively an ice breaker.

It’s a stunt. At best you could only use this route in that type of ship once per year.
There are six Canadian icebreakers in the NW passage (that don’t report on AIS). The ship was probably carrying 50,000 tonnes since that’s 25% over its
Gross Weight of 40,000 tonnes.

Southend appear about 80 places below.
Seems ironical for a brag about a ship carrying coal getting through the NW passage!
Well West Brom beat Man U 2-1 and Man U is not on the table, so the picture seems right to me. One must be careful of one’s feet of clay when tying laces on soccer boots.
