Just to re iterate.Winning the treble and remaining unbeaten domestically is a flawless achievement.But is this really worth over praising given that the manager is on £45k weekly and has a vastly superior player budget,infrastructure,fan base,tradition,billionaire owner etc than all of the domestic rivals?

A circumspect analysis of the season reveals that the domestic success starkly contrasts with the huge failure in Europe,which saw our worst ever defeat margin and arguably our most embarrassing defeat to a part time team.

An objective analysis therefore reveals that the easy things were done flawlessly but the real challenges were failed miserably,and this is where vast improvement is needed.

You complain about the game but happy that they won and Aberdeen scored!! Then complain that a manager who you've taken selfies with and praised on the night is getting paid too much!!! You are a clown, not an ordinary clown but a proper coco the clown

The attention you seek must be related back to a day when you never got in your childhood, your family obviously starved you of any

More to do with living in a toilet like Pointzpass I suspect...

Of course St. Galls is located in the Naples of the North

Now that's the send off John Terry deserved.
Let him choke on his jellied eels. The lads on the Blackstock Rd in Highbury will Rock the Bank of Friendship tonight. Maybe Corbyn will call in and buy a round

Haha, the die-hard man u fan.  Let's not speak ill of United in any way shape or form.
What do you know about it? Manchester United and Manchester City give loads to local community projects as do most of the football clubs up and down the UK
It isn't a week since the atrocity and in due course none of the clubs be it United City Bury Rochdale Bolton Oldham etc will be found wanting

And neither do you bucko.
And thats why I get out and make my own way rather than expect society to fund me
I realise you're a WUM but did you ever thank the Lord for your good health and ability to do so?
Or are the disabled, sick , mentally "challenged" etc responsible for their conditions and should be told to eff off for themselves? Or "euthanised" as some so called modern folk describe murder of such people.
Do you want to abolish public schools and hospitals?
Do you want to go back to the 1840s?

Have you overdone it on the scrumpy?

It's the wasters who sponge off the rest of us that I am against. Their welfare payments should be used to help the sick and handicapped. You will never see anything from me criticising such people

p.s. Who is this Lord you refer to?

Congratulations!!!



Anyone involved with United referring to it as a treble needs a good slap. 1999 is the benchmark.

Yes, but I doubt it'll ever be done again. Most teams, including United, would consider Liverpool's treble as a fantastic season.

Any season that ends with 3 trophies could be considered fantastic but any real supporter would trade all 3 for a league title at the drop of a hat.
What exactly is a 'real' supporter?
I often hear this term thrown around but what exactly defines if someone is a real supporter or not?
Real supporter=
In Irish terms a Dub who will go to Croker late rather than miss the end of the "Unira" game on Sky

The top 1% own 50% of everything. Median earnings are 27k.
I have no sympathy for the top 5%.

I have no doubt that you dont feature in their sympathy list either

Corbyn's speech at Tranmere Rovers was superb. "This election is about you".
The Telegraph and the Daily Mail betray their own voters.

Inspiring stuff. Did he say that he believes that the youth are our future?

No point whinging that the media are biased against Corbyn. Most of his parliamentary party are against him.

Economic policy and polarisation are linked to terrorism.

In UK, it results from isolation, segregation of populations and ghettoisation and then thrives in these conditions.  With Jihadist terrorism, UK has allowed ghettoes to develop, white flight in Northern towns has segregated the population by heritage.  Without being able to mix, learn and live with all others, those of non-UK heritage develop a world view which is a polar opposite of those of UK heritage.  In such circumstances, those who want to radicalise others find it easier to do.  If you live in a world where no one challenges the orthodoxy of the community then a false narrative or a re-writing of the historical narrative is easily achieved.

The British are aware of this http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2017/05/fish-eaters-and-fasters
However, in their typical hypocritical way they are actively encouraging similar ghettos of unassimilated "British" people in this country.
You don't half talk a lot of shite.

Na, Mourinho is rubbish with over-rated and over-paid players everywhere.
Man Utd are rubbish.
You're a very good analyst of the game with an emphasis on the first four letters of analyst. Have you applied to R.T.E.?

There are good sound hurling people in both Offaly and Westmeath who would have no time for that type of shite. Neither county has a big population and is fairly evenly split between football and hurling. Its amazing that Offaly achieved what they did in the 80s and 90s. I recall one game where they were down 9 points against Kilkenny, came back to draw and won the replay by 9
its two thirds football in westmeath I'd say
only 15 adult hurling clubs

True. Geographically it's close to 50/50, but the hurling areas are more sparsely populated. Plus roughly 1/3 of the population lives in Athlone area where hurling is almost non existent.
I bow to your superior knowledge of the strength of clubs in both counties. There is a good core of hurling there and you wonder what would it need to bring them on. What areclubs in big towns like Athlone Mulligar Tullamore doing to promote hurling
