    Nice gesture kuang. I remember working on a lads house years ago and he landed with a massive tray of rashers and sausages at 9 in the morning. Barely had it eaten when he landed again with rice and chicken curry!!
    Was only there for a day...Should have took a week!!

    That Messi free kick.

    It's a joy to watch someone so good just do their thing. I don't care what it is.

    Tie is over now.

    Messi is just great to watch, but he was pretty average by his standards tonight.

    Tie probably is over because Barcelona are bound to score at Anfield. But I wouldn't put it past Liverpool to score 3. They should have scored 3 tonight! Mane in the first half, Miller's shot straight at the keeper and Salah inexplicably hitting the post with the goal at his mercy.

    It was a great match for what ended up a 3-0 drubbing

    Was a flattering enough result for Barca but them's often the breaks in cup competitions. In the league a loss is a loss, you just move on to the next game

    It's hard to fathom how a side who'll probably end up on 97 points and with only 1 defeat is almost certain to fail to win the league but that's the bar City have set

    That said I do think the key game was the Liverpool/Leicester game the day after City lost to Newcastle in January (actually the last time City dropped points)

    That was the day for Liverpool to make a statement and go 7 clear. Instead they played out a turgid draw and followed it up with another against West Ham in the next game. That's when the league was really lost imo

    Yep...A cordless drill driver. Get to b+q and pick up the dewalt 18v drill. It's about 120 quid and will last forever. Lithium batteries so no memory effect. Great investment for any household... She'll be lashing up curtain poles in no time!!

    That's the one!! Plenty strong for any jobs around the house...Building flat pack furniture, putting up curtain poles or pretending it's a gun (I would never do that).

    Have just heard Theresa May on the radio in the car saying that the huge losses the Tories and Labour have taken is a clear message from the people: Brexit needs to be delivered.

    Lib Dems (the most pro Europe party) make massive gains at the expense of her party = people want my version of Brexit.

    How does this marry with the Brexit Party being likely to win the most European seats (per the bookies)?

    People actually care about their councils and how they're run whereas the sort of people who will vote for the Brexit party are exactly those who think MEPs have no power anyway and it's just a protest vote.

    This is the key point. The Brexit Party didn't stand into these elections. The Euro elections may be very different, although I hope not.

    As far as I'm concerned the biggest story of these elections (from NI/Irish perspective) was Alison Bennington. I'm not sure why she would represent the party she does, but she does represent them and the reaction of some within that party to her election is very interesting.

    There is some price difference between the UK and Ireland here, fooking hell.
