  1. and isn't Frankfurt the financial hub of Germany?
  2. Again tho. When you have trillionaires taking over Chelsea and city, "normal" clubs can only do so much Add a fergie man utd into mix and effectively you are playing for fourth each year I still think the Eduardo leg break a few years ago was main reason we didn't win league that year tho (you can argue we should have anyway) But given money at our disposal compared to others, I maintain we have overachieved

    Budget

    Again, comparisons not readily available but value wise it wasn't that much, and well within costs other countries spend on their systems

    Budget

    Numbers, I'm not near a keyboard so can't link at the mo but throughout the noughties waiting lists were down and patient satisfaction went up That's what you would want isn't it ?

    Budget

    That's more like it otta That said how many governments saved enough for that particular rainy day? Basically you can't Allied to this is the fact that this government is ideologically using the deficit to decimate the public institutions. I have them benefit of doubt for first two years but I think history will judge us mad to go along with them at this stage Not sure how I feel about being called Sean on here tho ;-)
  7. New stadium costs + arrival of Chelsea and city billions I'm totally happy with the prudent approach arsenal took.

    Budget

    So in your example, if we spend billions on nhs what would you LIKE to show for it? The implication in your example is we have nothing to show for it?

    You didn't mention global meltdown, but without it how does your accusation of overspending stack up?

    Budget

    Without the global meltdown, the western economies were doing just fine This prime minister and chancellor signed up to and agreed with labour spending policies at the time After years of neglect, swathes of the infrastructure was being corrected Since the meltdown the same duo have blamed everything on labour overspending when nothing of the sort was happening

    Ah the old "labour caused global financial meltdown" line again Some people love that one
  12. well guarantee is a bit strong But if you look at the other "big" names - I doubt they would have been happy with the constraints Wenger worked under. So they would have either not taken the job or left early doors Only he, who had been so embedeed at the club could have had the backing and the sheer willpower to deliver what he did.
  13. I guarantee no other manager could have spent those last 500 games moving Arsenal to a new stadium and keeping us in champions league every year on a restricted budget. the man's a legend and we will rue the day he leaves
  14. oh noooo - please don't let mum and dad fight about speakers again I'm still not over 2009 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,381308,381996#msg-381996
  15. sorry - don't remember much crowing from Arsenal this season Happy to be doing better, but lacking confidence in sustaining it
  16. I saw a documentary once where the manager of a nuclear plant in the US had a red alert signal, and so complacent was the culture, he didn't even realise he was responsible Oh hang on, no wait. That was an episode of the Simpsons
  17. " but it's not an attack on the person, it's not patronising/condescending (CBT, etc.), it doesn't promote a nonsensical viewpoint " in reference to a post that says ""Hip, hip hooray" I hear those idiots say, that > are attempting to trivialise people's concerns > about the noise &/pollution. " anyway - once we all have this app that gives so much info we can all see how bad the situation is, right ?
  18. "with the two teams who were crowing loudest in the first couple of months of this season both out of the CL" Arsenal were crowing loudly?
  19. Wavy girl If you give us the app name we could all see for ourselves the same proof.

    Budget

    No one ever "gets" a budget on day one surely? Details take longer to come out
  21. Plus given buddug's follow up posts, Canary is out of date and almost as mean spirited
  22. my friends from NY who now live elsewhere always use craiglist to pick up a room/apartment for short stays without any problems
  23. Yeah I got the link but didn't knowni needed an account (they give the damn thing away free!) I'll keep an eye out for other sources
  24. and another issue with HS2 - the timescales. 2033?
  25. yeah - I'd avoid getting into speculation about what might have happened
