At Bryan Adams on my lonesome in the 3arena and a thought occurred to me if Ireland win the eurovision there is no way I can see the place being big enough to host it.

Important game for Man United tonight against West Ham, they win that, they'll be 4th heading into the last game against Bournemouth on Sunday, lose or draw, and it's right back in Man City's hands.. I've a feeling United won't make it easy for themselves...

It's a must win for us!!

Didn't even realise Bryan Adams was playing tonight

I thought this guy from the greece eurovision entry was the a lookalike for damien sandow

JP Liz V1

Mr.Nice Guy

Man United really are depressing these days.

A draw does it for City. Can't see them slipping up again.

Europa & 5th it is then , sooner Van Gaal is booted and José brought in, the bloody better.

Meh, United would just find a way to lose to Bournemouth.

Does anyone remember when Manyoo qualified for the CL after Man City drew with Arsenal?

Which bandwagon ye gonna jump on next?

I've just been looking at league standings across Europe. French league looks bloody dismal, PSG almost 30 points clear.

gimmick

Sure they won it late Feb with a 0-9 win to Troyes and went 24 points clear :rolleyes:

Had grown men sulk around the office in a way I haven't seen since Brendan Rodgers' final months. People need to cop on when it seeps into their real life, especially work.

Literally have seen players who lost All-Ireland finals in better form the morning after the match.

Ah sure Galway usually accept the defeat by half time so the next day is no big deal.
Sad but true.

I love Sunderland. Every year, it looks like the end for them, and then they pull off a miraculous end to the season to stay up.

saw that Garth Brooks will play the Yankee Stadium in july on his world tour

hard to believe the hullaboo over his croke park shows is almost 2 years ago. The things he said were a joke thinking about it now

Part of me can see him coming back to say sorry and do a few shows in 2017/2018 in the Aviva or Croke Park but another part of me can see him being stubborn and wont come back

Not sure he has any need to say sorry. It was the organisers that were to blame imo. Only in Ireland would you have tickets being sold for an event BEFORE permission has been granted.

'Ah shur don't worry about the residents. It'll be grand. Get yizzer tickets, folks.'

What baffled me, and still does, is how popular he proved to be with people here.

He's not popular in the UK.

It was a giant **** up by Aiken but they brought ed sheeran and the boss is on his way to croker

Country music being liked at all baffles me. One of the only genres that's worse is dubstep.

Not a big fan of ska music. Sounds all the same

Angron

I've never been completely clear on what ska actually is.

CastorTroy

dubstep, ska, garage. Couldn't tell you the difference between most sub genres. Seems to me they just take a normal song and add loads of beats/bass. Sure these days, everything has a term and before you even figure out what it means there are even more terms.

Angron

True. Like I love metal, but it's absurd the number of genres, sub-genres, sub-sub-genres, and crossover genres that there are.

Diabhal Beag

This always annoys people when I say it but my two most despised forms of music are trad and country. I grew up being forced to liste to thousands of hours of alcos playing music in tiny pubs because all the relations would be huge into that scene (gone around the world doing it for years making a nice living types). Just utter ****e. Like nails down a blackboard when I hear an accordion.

Garth Brooks not coming to Ireland was a small victory for all of us with the ability to hear.

The Garth Brooks debacle was actually hilarious.
