Quote from: Blowitupref on Today at 12:58:30 AMWith Leeds loss leicester city promotion back to the Premier League confirmed.
They must have really shit the bed to get a hammering by a team that far down the table

Leeds doing Leeds.. they are like Spurs

So it's not about City's money (as we are in agreement) Chelsea plus utd have spent more and the likes of Liverpool's and city are better because of their appointments

that settled, I'm bored of City winning but it's not down to over spending

Quote from: ONeill on April 26, 2024, 11:53:35 PMI think he's taken them to a new level. And the PL too. Liverpool have had 2 near-faultless seasons and didn't win the league.
Yep it can't be all money or all manager, you need both. A bit of financial misconduct also helps.

It has to be about the management, Chelsea and Utd have on many occasions surpassed city's spending and came up short..

Quote from: ONeill on April 26, 2024, 11:45:16 PMKlopp did brilliantly. Arsenal are only finding out now what it's like to challenge Pep's City on a yearly basis. It breaks you eventually. To get over the line against them once is some achievement.

Were city less of a team before Pep? As they'd plenty of money before he arrived, or has he been the making of them?

As I regularly hear, Utd spend more than city, so it can't be a money thing

Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 26, 2024, 11:00:34 PMA lot of people have been to Oz. On paper it's a place I'd like to have visited but the getting there is very off putting for someone who hates flying. How many 1 hr flights would it take?!

Break it up with stays in Dubai

Quote from: J70 on April 26, 2024, 10:12:29 AMNone of the listed AB countries for me.

I've been to Aruba though.

Not a country.

Its always a grey area

In January 1986, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles, becoming a constituent country of the Kingdom in its own right. In October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and Curaçao and Sint Maarten became the newest constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Quote from: giveherlong on April 26, 2024, 01:48:41 PMAny recommendations for family friendly hotels or accommodation in Albuferia, Portugal?

Going next week, not to a family friendly one though, would imagine Old Town Albuferia would be best suited for a quiet time, mum and dad usually went there, they loved it.

But the strip you'd need to avoid! Think my sister stayed at the Jupiter resort, not sure when to be honest, her kids were smaller. think its expensive though.

Checked out any Airbb?

Quote from: An Watcher on April 26, 2024, 07:23:18 AMStumbled across this show Manifest on Netflix.  First few episodes not bad but seen there are over 50 of them.  Not sure whether to stick with it

I'm into the 2nd series and I'm still not sure where it's going. 1st series was good though. 3rd series not on netflix either

Was going to get into it but Lost really fecked me over with too many episodes and this is no where near as good in quality

Lads that would follow the national football teams would hit some of the obscure venues Id say

Some people can't understand simple instructions.

There are  over 200 according to Wikipedia , so I'll start  with the A's and  the B's.

Just add which of  these you've travelled to:

As a reminder

But there might be one or two missing from that list

Quote from: Harold Disgracey on April 24, 2024, 11:02:09 PMYou will have noticed that the LVF were generally unable to carry out any attacks in the Garvaghy Road and Tunnel areas of Portadown. They did once try to shoot up the Tír na nÓg clubhouse one night but apparently the gunman was shaking so much he missed the building. Billy Wright and his cohorts were very much protected and enabled by the RUC, everyone in Portadown was aware of this hence the RUC couldn't guarantee easy access and exit from any of the nationalist areas of town. As an aside Robert Hamill's mother died this week without seeing any justice for her son's murder.

Wasn't aware of the Portadown situation, but thinking back on it there was genuine fear of the LVF across the catholic community. Watching King Rat and his cohorts patrol the crowds at Garvaghy always sent chills. There was that feeling that they could and would do what they wanted. Pure evil.
I know Wright eventually finished up in prison, but I can't remember what the charge was.
His killing in prison, also feels like it could have had a level of facilitating about it - perhaps to keep him quiet?
Happy enough with the outcome of that facilitation. Crip died young but he performed an important task.


Crip was a sc**bag, killed a man for not letting him into a bar.

Quote from: Gael85 on April 25, 2024, 08:37:29 PMMan City 3 up. Brighton in holiday mode. A good chance to boost their goal difference. Have been very poor the last few months. Don't think DeZerbi will be getting one of the top jobs.

2nd goal that came from a free kick I don't think was a foul on Foden. Very poor by Brighton trying to play out from the back on the 3rd goal.

Definitely not a free for Foden. Might as well give the trophy to Man City now. Won't be stopped.

Even if it wasn't a free kick, Brighton are on their Hols and lost 4 nil.

One team had a chance to win the league but a draw and defeat took it out of their hands..
