Please let the rumors of Bendtner to Copenhagen be true. What a time that would be, even if only on a short loan.
If you boil things down to the most base element, the difference between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael was their stance on Northern Ireland. FG accepted the 6 county partition if it meant independence for the other 26. Their feeling was that they could eventually get all 32. FF wouldn't accept that and we're staunchly anti-partition.
That's the difference at it's most basic. Apart from that their politics were basically the same. Politically and morally conservative politicians were all we had. The population was split over the treaty with the bulk falling into either camp. As the Importance of the NI questioned lessened it became clear that there wasn't much to separate the two so they became more populist. There's still a very lineage based voting pattern in Ireland. Generations of the same family would have voted for the same party. It all came down to whether you were pro or anti Treaty. So the popularity of the Big 2 parties was perpetuated through this and because of the Troubles. When that started to get bad the whole NI question was revisited and their position as the dominant parties were bolstered. It's why there's never been a real Labour movement in RoI. They could never catch on when the Treaty question was all anyone focused on from 1920 to about 1970.

Boss fixtures tomorrow
Spurs vs Man Utd
Southampton vs Chelsea
West Ham vs Arsenal
Newcastle vs Everton
Villa vs Sunderland
Hull vs Leicester
QPR vs Palace
All of them could easily go either way, and the bolded will have big implications on the title race, CL race and relegation battle
Man City vs Burnley

but 4th is much more suiting. 6 times in the last 9 years. It just feels right.
Football tomorrow morning bright and early. what a time to be alive. We better have goals in us if we are to take 3 points.

You think you've got it bad I've got to wake up in time to watch the game at 12pm. Brutal.

Roche supremacy confirmed.
This post is also very true. Fuck the emo leprechaun, Roche is life.
Yeah I'm gonna go to bed about now. Felt like a rather productive day. Caught up on Penny Dreadful and finished Pokémon AS. What a time to be alive.
Also just bought the classic Gameboy Tetris on my 3DS. Apparently it's being removed after the year ends. Always nice to have some tetris with me.

You have a strange defenition of the word 'productive'
You've produced nothing, judging from that

Well compared to sitting behind my computer just browsing. You know, the average gaffer rather talks about games than playing them.
And it's my time off now, so I allow myself to do fun stuff and call it a productive day.

Will be a tough match for sure. I wouldnt say I feel confident (considering the points we've dropped away from home) but I trust the lads and the manager, hopefully we get an early goal like we did against Stoke
Aye, and I think there's added pressure to get a result here, particularly with Man City playing Burnley. They'll probably win that, though one hopes that Dyche can mastermind an upset.
Man City's Christmas schedule is crazy easy compared to ours. It's a bit annoying, but I think it balances out because we've got most of our big away matches out of the way already, whereas they've still got Liverpool, United, and Everton away (not that any of them, except maybe United, are playing well at the moment.)

Yeah, I'd rather be in our position in all honesty. Having to play City, United, Everton and Liverpool at home is preferable for the later stages of the season.

Theyve got all the big teams to play away still, with a crocked squad thats not going to get better when the importance of the matches intensifies... we're doing well with our matches and we have a 100% record at the Bridge this season in the league... i'd much rather be in our position even without the 3 points in hand

Very interested to see which striker City buy next month

Even more interesting will be how long it takes them to get injured...!
Alone? Maybe. But go in knowing that it starts as little more than an average drama and later becomes a parody of itself. I'd say unintentional parody, but that'd be giving it credit it doesn't deserve. It's funnier than The Interview at least.
Don't you have anything better to watch?

You should try and get some royalties. You'll be rich with the amount of use it'll get.
What rumors? He's injured yeah, will be out for another 3 months at least. But we killed him well before that.

They need someone to clean the boots I guess.
Never really seen him I'm sure he's good
Where did you see it mentioned btw? Salah meeting on Monday supposedly to see if they'll loan him out or not

We're not selling him anytime soon. Too damn versatile.
Not sure what's on that list, but put The Guest near the bottom of it.
