  1. Was a total star for us in his first few games. In general I don’t think the PL suited him, but an excellent player, no doubt. Shame to see him go but it’s for the best. Good luck Gabbi!
  2. Imagine being a public sector worker in a system so incompetent, that it can’t even manage to pay you in the event of a budget dispute. People are having to sell their belongings in order to make ends meet, despite having worked a full month. Not specifically looking to Trump-bash (although it is ultimately his responsibility and fault), I’m really just in disbelief that such a situation can occur.
  3. Guessing there will be no streams for this one?
  4. My point (and I had assumed his also, but it’s hard to tell) was that it was not a requirement for all countries using the Euro to have performed poorly over the same timeframe as you suggested. I have no specific evidence to share regarding youth unemployment, and while I accept it had been in discussion, my point did not address it.
  5. Certainly agree with that. However on the inefficient use of loan capital point, I’m morally torn. From a purely analytical perspective you are quite correct, but as I have mentioned before, my parents have lived Spain for nearly 20 years, and the EU cash has been used to greatly improve the lives of their citizens. I always cite the example of school busses. I see the children is Spain being driven to school in shiny new purpose built vehicles, compare that to the 40 year-old repurposed busses we see spewing diesel muck and breaking down in this country. It’s a small insignificant example that resonated with me, but there are many more. Take for example the newly built public hospital built a few miles from my M&D’s house; I can’t remember the last time I saw a new hospital built in this country. Anyway, as I’m now arguing a different point, I’ll leave it there! If you are referring to the New Year’s Eve display. My thoughts were that the cost of each firework that went off could probably feed a low income family for a day, but hey, **** em!
  6. His subsequent post makes clear the argument, and in reality it is quite a widely accepted and problematic consequence of the Eurozone. Germany for example benefits from an artificially suppressed trading currency, and this directly benefits their exports. Conversely, Southern Europe suffers in this relationship, as from their perspective the trading currency is artificially inflated. Essentially, Germany uses the Eurozone as a metaphorical heat sink for their strong economy. Hence why some economies prosper, and others suffer.
  7. Was going to post something snide, but that was a good laugh. Well done.
  8. Great work lads
  9. For your bet365 account
  10. Which one? 2014/15 season?
  11. Yeah “four” meaning six
  12. Plus 8 injury
  13. Need him fit for his imminent transfer
  14. **** commentators on NBCSN. All Chelsea’s fouls are accidental and the offside was onside apparently.
  15. Think he’s been decent.
  16. Redmond is a total bellènd. Moaning at Armstrong constantly. Needs to look at himself.
  17. Required challenge from bed.
  18. It’s all a bit pelligrino
  19. Chicks, surely?
  20. Errrrmmm...
  21. 11th bestest PuP
  22. What a dreadful collection of players we have assembled.
  23. Of course it happened, can’t imagine you would keep your own council. Good will to no men and all that.
  24. I agree. Poor to mediocre, not terrible. How on earth will we cope without his pinpoint crossing abilities?
  25. Can’t win em all. West Ham have been very good and we have had an off day. Despite a couple of good wins, the current crop are mid table at best.
