  1. That’s what I meant, I (a Belgian) thought it was strange to need a passport when I was young because you could travel all around europe with just an ID Card, so wasn’t used to anything else.
  2. Really? I remember the first time I needed one being a big moment because it meant going to a different continent.
  3. I would guess in most EU countries it takes a few weeks to get your international passport. So I'm sure those drivers will be there in about a month.
  4. One guy responding to that says 'Project Fear becomes Project Here', sums it up quite nicely.
  5. Did OGS suggest martinez deserved a yellow for the penalty build-up? For what exactly?
  6. Do you think every single person voting for brexit did so based on reason? I believe one of the taglines was 'we've had enough of experts'. It was a gut feeling 'to get rid of Brussels' and 'take back control'. That is the case today (more or less), so they're happy.
  7. Around the time the £350m per week for the NHS comes in. Good times ahead!
  8. How can you be sure? Apparantly it was Wesley who asked to leave on loan to get games, so the club was happy to keep him (as a sub). If he has a good season in Belgium, there's no reason for Smith to think worse of him than today. He can still leave, but £4m if he has a good season? no way, he'll be at least £10-15m. Even if he fails, I'm sure we can still get £5-7m, he is still young.
  9. mostly because of FM, but the Zenoni twins at Atalanta. Other than that, Lars & Sven Bender, twins as well if I'm not mistaken. Twins is even more rare I'd think

    U.S. Politics

    I don't think age will be a problem for Trump or his supporters (though he'll be older than Biden was last election if I'm not mistaken). What worries me is if Trump would die in the next 5 years (regardless of elections) of old age, heart failure or whatever cause there might be for an older man, his supporters will see this as a conspiracy. People over a certain age shouldn't be participating in politics anymore. How old are Pelosi, Grassley, Feinstein,...? At a certain age, you should move to the background and use your experience to help the next generation.
  11. De Laet is still there as well, but they were never with us at the same time.
  12. I seem to remember the tuanzebe song being quite good
  13. I love the one where we sing ‘villa, villa, villaaah, villa villa villa VILLA’
  14. Started watching Startup this week, 4 episodes in it's pretty good.
  15. Apologies, I'll rephrase: For every Sheffield (1 lucky season was followed by a horrible one), Leeds or Wolves, you have twice as many Fulhams (2x), Norwichs (2x), WBAs or even to a lesser extent Newcastle or Brighton (lower mid-table at best). Also can't help noting you ignore the fact that most promoted teams struggle.
  16. Same could be said about Norwich, who even have more experience in the PL. I'm not saying Brentford can't do well and perform like sheffield or wolves in their first season, but more often newly promoted teams struggle. Especially those coming up through the play-off final. Our own club as an example: on paper we had a good team with mings, mcginn, heaton and one of the greatest talents in England with Grealish. A good manager, strong support, wealthy owners,... everything to succeed and we still struggled because the step-up to the PL is massive. For every Sheffield (1 lucky season was followed by a horrible one) or Wolves, you have twice as many Fulhams, Norwichs, WBAs or even to a lesser extent Newcastle or Brighton (lower mid-table at best). So yes any team has the potential with a bit of luck, but to state this as a certainty is farfetched. I hope for Brentford to avoid relegation, but expect a difficult season. Happy to be proven wrong.
  17. Is brentford already considered as a potential midtable team?
  18. Regarding the still-not-finalised transfer of Jack Grealish?
  19. Imagine him getting injured during his last training and out for 2-3 months. What would City do?
  20. Are you claiming all those fine reporters and twitter people were just making stuff up and not reporting the state of affairs as they actually happened?
  21. He might imagine the atmosphere at VIlla Park when he visits as a ManCity player. I do think he is a villa supporter (but as a player he might think he needs to move to win trophies), so imagine being a villa supporter and being booed by the Holte End. That will hurt, no matter how fat your bank account.
