xG of 2.5 to 1.8 to Villa.

What do we get for that?

It's simply our squad. Relying on Mcginn, Luiz, Kamara and Watkins every single game has killed us.

No Pau. No points 

United press will cause same problems we've had against Chelsea and Newcastle and they'll score off a turnover

It will only end when Pau is back

 

Do United even press?

Not celebrating is ok, but having a remorseful expression really pisses me off.

West Ham doing a Sheffield United

Now the hell they re so high in the league is beyond me!?

I know they want Moyes sacked. But he's performing a minor miracle with this lot.

Their squad is full of excellent players.

Phillips must be thinking wtf have i done signing for West Ham

I think West Ham fans are thinking why TF have we signed Phillips.

It seems to me that getting as many out to vote as possible, is what will win it for Biden. That's why the likes of Taylor Swift can influence, even though it doesn't seem serious at first glance.

The guy who wrote this is a Trump man, he was nominated to office by Trump, its propaganda, its dangerous to see this as fact. 

Yep, Biden is too old, that is undeniable. But that is an absolute hand grenade, will have a huge affect.

If Biden was re-elected, I believe he would be surrounded by people who could keep things under control, whereas Trump would just have yes men and lunatics.

Sad to see such entitlement still.

We have no divine right to challenge for CL places or win trophies.

Only reason we are in the CL conversation is because of Emery.

It's about ambition though, not just having a que sera, sera attitude.

Yes, starting from where we are now. But all in all a good season. We will finish sixth, I think, and I'll be very happy about it.

Well you've very pragmatic.

Top 7 would still be a good season. It would mean another season in Europe 

Ultimately we would all be disappointed.

No shame in losing to any of those 

No shame, but not good for our season.

Bring on Tim, Torres and Ramsey.

Does every pass have to be something creative? They seem to avoid the obvious and safe.

If the midfield isn't functioning our high line gets destroyed.

C'mon Villa, they can't defend for shit.

The thing is good people can be bad dog owners, they can get a dog and not necessarily know how to handle it. The gun comparison does actually work.

Yeah, kind of agree but also if we go all out at full strength tonight and regardless of result are then really flat and knackered at United, isn't that worse than some fringe players contributing to a muted performance tonight?

If they are flat and knackered on a Sunday after playing Wednesday, we have bigger problems.

How come Ireland doesn't seem to have many forests? What happened to the trees? 

The forests have been cleared over hundreds of years to make way for agriculture and to sell the timber. Ireland has a serious biodiversity issue right now.

Regrowth has focused on cash crops such as Sitka spruce, which are grown and felled. Attempts are being made to re-plant native Irish trees through various initiatives.

I’ve got one episode left and I can’t bring myself to watch it because I’m enjoying it so much, I don’t want it to end. 
Without having seen the final episode, I currently have the opposite feeling to you. For me, it’s got better with every episode. 
Opinions, eh? 

I just felt it got a bit chaotic but overall if felt fresh, and was enjoyable viewing.

Former Taoiseach John Bruton. In office 1994-97, died today aged 76.

Was Taoiseach in the 'Rainbow Coalition', comprising three parties. He was by no means a hugely popular figure, despite doing a fairly solid job with the economy. He and UK PM at the time, John Major launched the framework documents in 1995, a blueprint for peace talks in Northern Ireland.

Bruton is also Noteworthy for making a big effort to reach out to Unionist culture in Northern Ireland in an effort to reassure them they were not facing a "pan nationalist front".

He got criticized for it, (although I was bit young to be paying attention then) but figures like him are what are needed going forward if talks of a united Ireland are to pick up.

Most polling has Biden ahead.

But what use are polls....

I’m sure CT can give you a better answer, but from what I understand the Protestants in NI would originally be traced back to the English (on the most part). However it’s so long ago that a lot of those people wouldn’t know about their English heritage. Or if they did they’d still consider themselves Irish because it would be multiple generations ago. 
 

We’re talking centuries

They would say Northern Irish or British. Not many Northern Ireland protestants would call themselves Irish. 

I enjoyed Beef but felt it faded in the later episodes.

Have one episode of Boy Swallows Universe left, also enjoyable. Just 7 episodes is a plus.

Hat trick for some guy.
