Also might jump on the rugby one if we can get out of the group stages at the WC.

I am starting to enjoy this feeling now and I can't wait for the AI final. Come on Kerry/Mayo/Dublin (will decide closer to the date who to cheer for).
Unfortunately I'm on a lifelong premiership club bandwagon but if I had to jump ship I think Chelsea would be my port as I do like the blue colour of their jerseys. Also used to admire Kerry Dixon and Dave Beasant.

Australian outlook doesn't look good and when when it crashes it will be a horrible fall. Also with a weak dollar its really going to hit any Irish thinking of heading home in quite a big way. Will be better for the people in Ireland as will be less people with large house deposits and propping up the property market.

I will reprise the relevant bits of my post from a few months back:
Hilary Clinton will not be the next President of the United States.- After a two-term president of one party, the electorate generally changes tack and elects in the other guys (Bush to Obama, Clinton to Bush, Eisenhower to Kennedy, Truman to Eisenhower). Reagan to Bush Snr is an outlier (but only after Jim Baker's dirty tricks team killed Dukakais - against Bush Snr's wishes and instincts).
- Her brand is toxic - people forget how divisive the Clintons are - a Hilary candidacy is a godsend to the GOP.
- She's not a winner. The only election she ever won was a safe Senate seat in NY and she managed to blow an almost-unlosable advantage against Obama in the '08 primary.
- She's a woman. I don't think America is ready for that.
- She's too old.
- Health issues.
- Bill. (although probably also her biggest asset)
- Dodgy record as Secretary of State with multiple freebie attack spots for the GOP (Benghazi, emailgate etc etc)
- She's too rich. Brand Clinton has been money-grubbing away since Bill departed the Oval Office.
Yet she will almost certainly be the Dem candidate and is currently trading around the evens mark - anyone taking this price should be carted off to Dundrum and locked in a padded cell for their own safety.
If the Republicans can put up literally anyone who can tie their own shoelaces against her, they will coast home in the electoral college."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Regardless, it won't be that Walker lad.

This Arsenal team is all over the place this season, and they're even worse tonight. Chambers is having a shocker and can't see him coming out for the 2nd half. Huge liability. Gibbs on and switch Monreal to CB or else Debuchy on as CB, but can't see Arsenal keeping a clean sheet the way it is.
Seems like a good game for the neutrals though!

Originally posted by Flushdraw View PostVery little threat going forward at the moment. Passing has been nothing short of shocking. Alexis doesn't look match fit and nobody to pick the team up. I'd take off Ozil too and bring on Walcott/Ox and see if they've any better luck.

Originally posted by shano1888 View PostGetting slaughtered from 33 obv but like overs on current line. Think FG take a lot of them expecting v.popular giveaway in next budget. The fragmented left will take a few more. Protest Anti FF vote lto probably regain a bit as well. Could well be burning money but I like the price so will take another 100 if you want.
I reckon they get ~75 between them, with FG hitting mid-fifties
so 85 seats up for grabs among 'the rest'. SF are the most disciplined and organised force among that grouping and will be ruthless in hammering LAB. Independents will be their usual chaotic selves and the micro-parties (SP, AAA, PBP, Renua) show no signs of growing organisational capability before an election.
I'd put SF on 25 on a bad day and they could well go over 30."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Wouldn't it be sad if we all had the same opinions.

The other interesting line is independents. PP have set it at 33.5
I think that's a high bar (close enough to one Indo in every constituency and over 20% of seats) for a grouping historically lacking in organisation and finances.
Happy to take the unders if anyone wants to bet?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

It would want a serious TINA election for that to happen and if it did, it would be a FG surge mainly at the expense of FF in the country and LAB in more affluent Dublin suburbs."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
