Good goal by Akpom

[TRENT COLTON]

Yes, I'm spending my day off watching pre-season football :hide:

He is my favourite player.

I mean, will you, please?

The lad has got the ball down the right and crossed it over and he has finished it well.

Do you genuinely think I am watching this match?

I have for your information just returned from a very high powered meeting at the GPO, the most historically significant building in Ireland, and then I have popped out to get my sandwich.

Meatballs, in a pepper sauce, on tomato bread.

And crisps. Taytos, obviously.

GOAL! Singapore Select XI 0-1 Arsenal (Akpom 29)

Arsenal hit Singapore on the break!

With Singapore having pushed up for the free-kick, they are left horribly exposed at the back. Gabriel wins a commanding header and Oxlade Chamberlain picks up the clearance and drives up-field. It’s four on four, and Iwobi pulls left, receives the ball and flights a clever ball across to the right. Wilshere is well tackled by Khaizan but Akpom thrashes the ball past Izwan. 1-0.

He thrashed it home.

The GPO is ultimately just a post office with some bullet holes in it.

meaningless pre season friendly goals scored by someone who will never play a game (possible league cup) for the club.

Although he may have played in 4 games already.

Trinity College is full of pooves, many of them foreign and having their educations funded by their rich fathers as opposed to actually being intelligent, many of them not even doing real degrees.

The GPO is where my brothers and sisters laid down their lives in the (ongoing) fight to free ourselves of British rule. And as you say it has bullet holes on the exterior, which is cool.

[Berni]

the really significant building. That, after all, is where the real damage was done to British rule of Ireland. The Rising itself was half-arsed, amateurish and incredibly unpopular with Dubliners themselves - many of whom had relatives fighting in the British Army at the time. The decision to shoot the ringleaders was what really caused the problems. If they'd had the sense just to intern them until the end of the war, things would have been very different.

Arguably the biggest loss of the entire Wenger era.

Nobody sits on their grandad's knee and gets stories of the gaol or trinity bloody college.

I'm all for contrarians, b, but this is beyond Jorge level stuff

Mind you, a person cannot just "do" the GPO.

Unless they borrow my ID thing.

He said he was a thick c**t who was too stupid to run when the ambush went tits up and consequently was found skulking under a truck.

It's fair to say that my grandfather - who was born in 1900, was a Dubliner and lived through the whole period - had very little time for most of the IRA.

Don't understand, why it's on the first place on tripadvisor. Okay, that's just a cemetery located far from city center, with no citybike parking. The museum is poor. All you can do - walk around the gravestones, thinking about life and death

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Bad marketing to call it Glasnevin Cemetery.

[Berni]

:hehe: I really musn't fall down the tripadvisor rabbit hole, though. It always sucks me in with its inadvertent comedy.
