Boris Johnson shocks everyone by not keeping his word.
Those pricks will screw us here. You can see it coming - it's just a matter of how not if IMO.
Feel sorry for them, they trying to play but they just don't have the quality
?So you're saying you'd have Nedved and Shevchenko over 91 goals and 22 assists 2012 Messi??
I'm saying Messi is a bit of a flat track bully, he's a very good one trick pony but we've seen that he can't do it in adversity.
Look how he crumbles with a star studded Argentina, every time.
And as I've said countless times before, it's a lot easier to look good in the era Ronaldo and Messi peaked in.
It's similar as to how Federer stopped winning slams when Nadal and Djokovic turned up. Competition changes things, there's not a striker in the game today as good as a peak Sheva/Batistuta/Ronaldo/Vieri, nor a midfielder in the game today as good as a peak Nedved or Redondo - none are even close. There's no goalkeeper around as good as a peak Buffon, no full back around who could rival Zanetti/Cafu, no centre back in the same league as Nesta, Maldini, Thuram and so on and so forth.
Lewandowski would have won the Ballon d'Or this year if it had been handed out, he's a great player but he's not in the same level as a peak Sheva and that shows why Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the football scene for the past decade - it has been weak.
So post all the stats up you guys want, they don't change the context.
Messi should always be judged with his record for the national side at major tournaments a major asterisk over him.
The real Ronaldo won a World Cup by himself when he came back from 2 years out with a knee injury. That knee injury that he came back from robbed him of his explosiveness, he was about 70% of the player he was, yet it did not stop him from achieve greatness.
The Brazilian Ronaldo is the greatest of all time, certainly up there with Maradona anyway.
? Is that the €40m clod who missed an absolute sitter for Italy v South Korea in 2002 and cost them a chance to progress? Some International-level player he..I disagree - people need to decide they want to accept the north as part of the Irish nation as a matter of principle first, only then can there be a discussion on how to best make it work.I read this post, indeed this whole thread damn near, and to paraphrase Robbie Burns:
"O, wad some Power the giftie gie youse, To see Themmuns as they see themsels!"
I mean, "People need to decide they want to accept the north [sic] as part of the Irish nation"...
When are Nationalists (ROI and NI) going to recognise that a UI is not within their gift to accept/deliver/negotiate/coerce or anything else?
The GFA made it crystal clear that the only way there will be a UI is if a majority of people in NI voting for it in a referendum. And effectively, that means the Unionist people voting for it, as follows.
Basically, as eg the Scottish Independence or Brexit votes demonstrated, such Referenda are not about politics, they are about Identity.
And as far as Unionists are concerned, No Union = No Unionism = No Unionists. Therefore in the absence of some overriding, irresistable reason, why would we want to erase our own British identity and vote ourselves out of existence?
etc.
Queen were c***ts. Apartheid-propping up soup takers, music for people who hate music.
Bono's performance during Bad changed Ireland. It was quite shocking to see an Irishman get up there in front of the world without the merest trace of self doubt, and demonstrate in plain terms that U2 were the greatest band in the world. It was a remarkable, life changing performance, simultaneously full to the brim with anger and joy. He nailed it in outrageous fashion.
The decade of change in Ireland that was to follow started at that moment.
