  1. “Successful teams are able to penetrate the defence by running, dribbling and/or passing the ball in a forward direction” Money in the bank pal.
  2. If Harry Maguire couldn’t dislodge it, how is Vestergaard expected to?
  3. Bizarre. Where the rhyme or reason.
  4. Watch the c**t quit before he gets evicted.
  5. Head
  6. F**k. I paid £1.29 for my copy.
  7. Wee
  8. Eh. Dropping tariffs is a necessary consequence of refusing to create a hard border. Otherwise you have two different tariffs, creating a hard border.
  9. The UK would be in basic breach of WTO rules, in particular the MFN principle of equal treatment if it dropped tariffs at the Irish border but didn’t do the same for all other WTO members. This would open the door to recrimination and litigation precisely at the time the UK is trying to woo WTO members and use the organisation, however feebly, as a springboard for its own independent trade ambitions. The other problem is that, without any obligation on the UK to enforce rules of origin and product regulations, all kinds of sharp practices and substandard goods (that are bad for jobs and consumers don’t want) could leak across the border and by extension the EU. Ireland would thus be liable for breaching the integrity of the single market by failing to control its border. Let’s be clear: if the EU was compelled to establish a border (assuming the UK was relaxed about alienating WTO members), sure it might play well with the usual simpletons and their unrivaled victim complex who would proudly claim that “it was them, not us” but anyone with a half a brain cell would know why the situation arose and who was ultimately responsible for it. As Alan Beattie says it’s a desperate and ignorant bluff - symptomatic of a tinpot, delboy approach to negotiations that continues to substitute for serious thinking and a real plan.

  11. Good lad.
  12. The likes of Les and LD don't give a flying f**k. Pampered baby-boomer gammon who have no recollection of real hardship just want to act out their little fantasies.
  13. Tax revenues are lower than they would have been without the cuts and they are contributing to a ballooning budget deficit. Brilliant.
  14. Stopped here as you’re obviously a bit simple. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/16/657790901/federal-deficit-jumps-17-percent-as-tax-cuts-eat-into-government-revenue https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/business/trump-tax-cuts-revenue.html
  15. You’re very passionate about other posters pal - if only you could redirect some of that passion to the club and club’s hierarchy. Do it for Goa.
  16. Les
  17. Camel
  18. Agree.
  19. Tooth
  20. Absolute scumbag if true.
  21. You’re furiously hard of thinking, aren’t you pal. What is it now? The favourite jihadist trope and crocodile tears about youth unemployment in Southern Europe? Figures that are at any rate misunderstood and misinterpreted. Clue there’s a difference between a rate and a ratio. And nobody ever explains how they are due to the EU as opposed to homegrown problems and choices. Indeed if freedom of movement was the force of nature that jihadists claim, it would have swept away the barriers that maintain insider-outsider job markets and keep unemployment high in these countries. Then again consistency and following through the logic of your thinking have never been your strong suit.
  22. Iced
  23. Why not they have male nursery school administrators
