And if your heart doesn't break to that video then you haven't got one to break tbh.

Every triangle has three corners, every triangle has three side. No more no less, you don't have to guess...

I haven't watched it so I'm just surmising...do you mean psycho cop?

???

Tiote picking up bookings is going to be an occupational hazard tbh. The guy covers every blade of grass and chases down everything within a 50 yard radius. It really has to be distinguished from the Barton, Coloccini and Williamson suspensions, which were admittedly utterly fucking stupid.

Not necessarily, if you take out the banks and the property market then the Irish economy isn't completely fucked. It's still not good but the country could have weathered the storm, the problem is that the banks were even more exposed than that of the UK and not even remotely well enough funded to deal with this situation. The single cause of Ireland's woes is property, it became an obsession for both the public and the banks. Given a couple of years the problems should hopefully have been dealt with and the country can get back to some sort of recovery, though with the burden of having to repay a heavy debt. What I mean is it is fiction to say that the type of growth you experienced had owt to do with the education system. It has meant you've retained more talent than you've traditionally lost (a good thing for the economy overall) but to suggest that that was something that distinguished Ireland's growth from Britain in the context of the growth being experienced is a complete nonsense. What caused the country's 'real' growth was low level of corporation tax. Something Parky's lot really don't like. Wouldn't argue with that either but what's that got to do with education is the point I'm making? You could have the best education system in the world and corporation tax at 95% and I'd like to see the growth then. I'm not having a pop at you btw just to be clear, it's just Osborne boils my piss. Tbf I've never claimed that it had anything to do with the education system. Of course it has helped but Ireland has no advantage over the likes of the UK in that area. Aye that's basically all I'm saying mate, and it was aimed squarely at Osborne's comments rather than attributing them to condescension from the Irish as there was none in evidence. As I say it just disgusts me that we've got this mong running our public finances.

I have to get my kicks where I can find them.

Parky having a right pop in this thread btw. In the words of Alex Trebek: "Please, no ethnic slurs."

How is he 51? Btw, if you look at that picture and focus on his face, he looks like his legs are crossed in a mince pose, but when you look at them directly they're actually apart in full alpha male. The effect is a bit like one of those winking lady photos.

"What has caused this Irish miracle, and how can we in Britain emulate it? Three lessons stand out. First, Ireland's education system is world-class. On various different rankings it is placed either third or fourth in the world." Jesus Christ Osborne you obsequious, heinous, despicable dishonest bastard of a human being. Yes, yes, that's why Ireland's economy is flying so high, because of their magnificent education system. That's exactly why house prices quadruple in the space of a year and everyone can go off remortgaging and buying helicopters on tick. Jesus, even back then everyone knew it was all done on the never never, it was just a case of whether there'd be a slow down to normal growth (which would still have overstretched some people) or outright oblivion. to be fair our education system is awesome, lol but has nothing to do with our economics Wasn't a dig at your education system at all and I'm more than prepared to believe it's amongst the better models in Europe. What is absolute fiction though is that the economic growth of Ireland had any significant root in it (as you rightly say). Even when I think it's simply not possible to do so I still find more things to loathe about Osborne. I think that article is laughable tripe.

The UK will get its money back, there is zero chance of Ireland defaulting. Are you personally underwriting this one then Ewerk?

The guy sat in front of them is the more significant piece in the jigsaw iyam. Tiote back with Campbell behind you would like to think would be a capable unit, particularly if you were ever going to have to bring in a youngster too during a player suspension 'crisis'. The opposition may be too strong anyway in some fixtures but lets try and have faith in the lads pulling the shirt on for us.

Bono's too busy whoring out his African credentials in the latest Luis Vuitton adverts to be filling in any tax returns to be sure.

Sorry, I apologise. My presumption was that we would continue to climb indefinitely and the sudden realisation that this in not now going to happen has left me barely able to contemplate the future. I just didn't see this coming. Can you increase my morphine please doctor!

PS and they're paying for it now (and have been for longer than most with real sacrifices) to be fair

Thought you were about to tell us ffs? All mouth and no Troussiers tbh.

Most amount of helicopters per head of population in the world I heard on Question Time last week. They've basically had a party (as lots of countries have) but they've taken the piss even more than most.

£100 for a normal ticket, not corporate or anything We moan about paying a score for League Cup games. Imagine that though two adults in them seats 2 kids, you're looking at £300 before you've even thought about food. This shows the reason that we will find it hard to compete ever really, because no one in the North East can afford £100 a game, fuckin hell me season tickets only 4 times that, this is why I bang on about types of fans. The type of fan Arsenal attract isn't the type that was going to games 20 years ago, luckily we're in the main all still working class scruffs, but the gap is widening, I think it's obscene though in this economic climate for Arsenal to demand that type of money for a bog standard seat. How do they seek to justify it like? Ignoring the VAT hike I mean. They've got nearly twice the capacity they used to have so their matchday revenues are up anyway, they don't pay absolute top wack wages and unless I'm mistaken a lot of the new stadium costs were covered by naming rights etc. Also arent they in profits due to the Highbury real estate sale? Bandits tbh.

Completely agree. Can't really say a slide has started when we've been punching way above our weight all things considered. Reality bites. What are you agreeing with? Is this easier It wasnt unforseen, we were never going to finished top 8 etc so at some point the points would start to drop Our strongest side is canny but lacks depth hence our current plight HOw does the word 'the slide' imply a presumtion of top 8 ness? Well whatever way you slice it it absolutely insists upon some form of descent from high to low. I think what's being said is obvious enough, ie nobody thought we were going to be cruising at an absolute constant altitude all season. In fact the opposite is true.
