  1. Yeah that's what I was getting at. The Normans were Viking settlers weren't they? Yes.
  2. And for that randomly interesting and interestingly random insertion of the word "death," I thank you.
  3. Glenfiddich 1937? Haha. If it was rare and Scottish, it would be something like, "Sconesober."
  4. My surname is related to a colour, although it's complicated. My surname is rare and Scottish.
  5. I hope we ... score early dominate the midfield -- sneak in behind Swansea's exploit Swansea's weaker right side do more crosses than usual and boss the aerial game
  6. I actually think Sinclair and Gabby bagging a few - forced him to up his game - after all he couldn't blame service if the other strikers are banging them in.... No question to me that that's it. A penalty and two goals against a pub squad hasn't convinced me yet. But I remain perfectly persuadable! I like the pragmatism of this comment!
  7. interesting quote from Benteke Yeah, that's great and all, but It's going to take more goals against difficult opponents before Tekkers has real cred with me.
  8. Now I've suddenly started to worry that ManU is going to come and try to take Timbo from us!
  9. It's got to make you wonder if things were FAR more toxic in Paul Lambert's locker-room than reported.
  10. Poyet is gone. I think we can get Van Gaal sacked on april 4, too.
  11. Repeat the first half, and my loonybird game prediction will be right.
  12. Gotta wonder what Paul Lambert is thinking about right now.
  13. Holy hell -- who are this team? Where have they been all year?
  14. I predict a resounding win for Chelsea over S'hampton -- I think Jose and Co. are going to have a point to prove -- plus saints are tired. Don't get me wrong -- would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see an upset. Nothing would please me more than to see a 1-2 result in the end except perhaps the look on mourinho's face.
  15. Tell me why so many people dislike Steven Gerrard. I don't know much about Liverpool but he always strikes me as innocuous, and what some of you have indicated isn't at all in keeping with public image I know. I know he had some kind of argybargy a few years ago, but other than that, this is a puzzle to me.
  16. Soba noodles and broth with chicken and cabbage, from this American joint called Panera. It's OK -- not great. Rather flavourless.
  17. I think it's almost time for a a Villa match.
  18. You got me there. Let me rephrase: Capitalism ended child labour in capitalist nations. Bangladesh doesnt have capitalism. Capitalism is a political-economic system, not a description of corporations operating in countries with low wages. This sure doesn't reflect well on PSG. Wow.
  19. The thing, it's not actually totally inaccurate. The Elementary Education Act of 1870 was perhaps the single most powerful legal instrument that definitively put child labour in Britain into the dustbin of British history, or at least got the ball rolling if I may mix metaphors -- but, it was championed in large part by industry's need to educate a workforce for ... capitalism. Indeed, even Marx recognized that. Still, it's really complicated. My dad had to work at age 12 in England to keep the family from starving during the Depression. Was that child labour? Erm, yes. I would venture to guess that there are parts of London where child labour persists underground . I know there are in the States, for instance. ​But I don't think that's what NorwegianVillan was referring to. The implication of his post is that capitalism has often served traditional "liberal" goals, and that's true.
  20. Crystal Palace 1-1 QPR Arsenal 2-1 West Ham Leicester 2-2 Hull Sunderland 0-8 Aston Villa West Brom 2-1 Stoke Burnley 1-2 Man City Chelsea 3-1 Southampton Everton 2-1 Newcastle Man Utd 3-2 Tottenham Swansea 2-3 Liverpool
  21. This has probably already been posted ...
  22. I could embrace such an ideology ... as long as everyone gets to start in the same place.
