Anyone travelling back to Ireland for Xmas, now on the Pembroke - Rosslare route instead of Holyhead, be prepared for an absolute shambles of an onboarding. It’s shocking compared to Holyhead.

This was meant to leave at 2:45 😂

This actually relates to the previous government, and it also says Ofwat were culpable.
Shockingly poor headline.

Isreal claiming to be the victims yet again. 🙄🙄🙄

Don’t like when a country stands up to them and vocally criticises their Genocidal regime.

Good riddance, and Bravo Ireland 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Made hard work of it, but a huge away win.

1 more win and we’re in the round of 16.

This defence still worries me, playing 2 poor sides in the league and an inconsistent Leipzig… not convinced we’ve turned the corner many think we have, but positive signs.

Really see where we are Saturday. #avfc

The difference when we play with a bit of urgency and zip is superb.

Don’t know why we haven’t done it more this season. Been so content to be slow and pedestrian.

I’m all for trying to “control” a game, but we’re at our best on the front foot, playing those balls in behind. #avfc

That is fucking outrageous! 😍😍
December 10, 2024 at 9:11 PM
We keep doing it, we score, then sit off as if we’re a team who routinely keeps clean sheets and wins games 1-0.

Just baffling. Stay on the front foot and try to score more, we’re almost always going to need more than 1 goal to win a game.

We’re far too passive atm. #avfc

Villa are just having our own “who can concede the silliest goal in Europe” competition at the moment.

What on earth was that!?

During the pandemic 17 firms supplied £119m worth of PPE that was deemed unusable in the NHS. Since the start of 2024, they’ve made £83.6m. How is this even possible?

Kate Middleton has apparently stopped 'working full time'.

It seems no one told her that you have to start working before you can stop.

We’re an absolute fucking shambles.

What on earth is this defending??

This could be a cricket score if we’re not careful.
December 1, 2024 at 2:14 PM
Oh man. Watkins HAS to be scoring that, or at the very least squaring it to Rogers 😭

Did all the hard work🤦🏻‍♂️

After 3 failed orders due to no stock, I’ve FINALLY got my new paddleboard!

Honestly think I’ve managed to get one of the last 12’6 Ray Air Premium’s in the country!

Just in time for winter to get out on the water and freeze my 🥜 off! 🥶🥶

I can’t wait! 😍

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽

Spain were a much better side after dropping Raul.

Honestly feel England would be better off doing the same with Kane.

Literally spends far too much time pissing about in his own half trying to be Pirlo.

He’s a hindrance to how England need to play.
