Silver lining we don’t have to be beaten by Chelsea in the semi or City in the city.
I read maureen was trying to sign fellaini again
Thought so too. Also feel like Wijnaldum gets unfair, admittedly he often does a Lucas but he was really good yesterday, especially in the first half
Those already selling half of the first 11 are having a laugh. Bin Keita, Chamberlain, Origi, maybe Shaqiri. Looks like Gini too, cause he isn't signing that contract. Blood sacrifice that Greek left back like we used to do with those Brazilian keepers that went missing. Sign Kabak and get in another 4-5 players able to compete with the first team, like Jota. 1 or 2 will inevitably fail, but that's normal. We'll be ok
Shut up lol
I felt that something was wrong but couldn't be fucked going to double check. I also get confused on the whisky/whiskey thing.
Not that I was doubting you, but I had a look into the Jura ownership.
The only reason I knew about the whisky was that Whyte and Mackay own/owned it, they sponsored the premier league darts and when they did the Belfast leg of the fixtures had a VIP section which was part of end of running the arena. After the night they left all the whisky and I brought home a good few bottles of Jura, which I enjoyed immensly. So I was wondering when Whyte and Mackay sold it, but it looks like Cameron's father in law planned on opening a distillery on the same island. That said, this is from 2017, so maybe he just bought Jura instead:

Without googling for ages, the camerons own the island so they're probably just landlords to that business and as you say, setting up their own thing. Annoying as I've been there and loved it. As I recall it came out in the Panama papers. It's owned by an offshore tax free trust that every own. Fucking lizards
Can't have anything nice without tasting the lizard venom.
The easiest way to remember the difference is that Scotch whisky is spelled without the E because the Scottish are too tight to pay for the extra ink needed to print the E in whiskey.
Can't help but feel that Madrid were never in real danger and happy to concede territory to us knowing we had to leave gaps and push on. They came to defend a 2 goal lead and they did exactly that. The longer the game wore on the more comfortable they became in their defensive shape and the more clueless we looked. By the end we were back to endlessly recycling the ball until Trent was forced to hit a cross for our midget strike force to wave at as it sailed over their heads into Curtois arms.
Damage was done in last weeks shit show, to over turn it we needed to be lucky or ruthless, we were neither.

Scotch has no "e", Irish and American (*) have an "e".
Apparently whisk(e)y was first distilled in Ireland, but was used as a horse rub - it was the Scottish who came up with the idea of drinking it, which is why whisky will forever be superior to whiskey (though I do drink the Irish variants as well)
* I don't think the American crap even deserves a different spelling of the word, it should have a completely different name, such as "gnat piss".
Now try telling me this is not far more interesting (and manly) than discussing bloody pizza dough.
The royal family own the entire coastline of the UK and get all the rent from the wind farms
I often wonder what the standard of whiskey in Ireland would be like if all the smaller distillers didn't go out of business.
I think it's "just" the offshore wind farms. I could be wrong, of course.
Do we need 3 match threads to win the next game?
Yeah just the royals, and yeah the offshore wind farms as they own that all the water and stuff too.
Haven't read this thread, and I'm sure there's lots of doom and gloom in the previous pages, but I thought we played really well, and if our front three hadn't forgotten how to fucking score, we'd have won comfortably.
Football's funny... Mo doesn't fuck up that sitter after 2 minutes, and we'd have been in in the semis by halftime. Nobody would be talking about the mistakes made in personnel and formation, etc. It cracks me up how a few inches either direction, how one of our greatest goal scorers ever (statistically, at least) putting the ball in the only place that doesn't result in a goal from 6 yards, and suddenly, everything is wrong and we were shite.
We weren't shite. Our finishing was pathetic. But we created enough clear, glaring chances to win two or three matches last night. I stopped counting at half a dozen.
And to think we were all worried about scoring 2 or 3 but our makeshift back four letting us down...

Well, that's the FSG for you
We played reasonably well but we’re so lacking in quality at key moments. Wijnaldum and Salah, in particular, fcuked up glorious chances. Hell, even Allardyce’s side is free scoring but we, match after match, waste good opportunities. Oh, and we’re sop over reliant on the front three for goals that, as has been happening all season long, if they are in a scoring rut, we’re stuffed. From time to time, one of our midfielders finds himself in a good scoring position but they almost always inevitably miss the target. Also, what’s the purpose of Oxlade Chamberlain any more?
Frustrating as hell all round.
