Nice pick!
Top band, saw them local before they made it too big. Very heady days ☺️

Also if he were to play a DM type role, with Caliafore at LB, he gives us a damned solid native coverage there too.

Football for most of my life was dominated by referees seeing an incident in a split second and just guessing. That’s not how it is anymore, which is what everyone said they wanted. But it doesn’t seem to be making fans any happier. The remaining wrong decisions have been magnified and driven fans to even more conspiratorial thinking. This is the football every manager moaning about referees after a game wanted, and people hate it.

Football is not an ordered universe. It’s a place where chaos ensues. Higher-scoring sports produce a larger sample size, which in turn reduces variance. In football, any number of ridiculous events can and do dictate match results. This is a game where you can watch your team dominate a game for 90 minutes and lose because someone threw a beach ball on the pitch. That’s why it’s the most popular sport in the world: it makes you want to kill yourself.

Any bailout should come with stipulations of return of flagship ‘XJ’ model

Oooh. You mean a whole bunch of “Progressives” are just in it for signalling and theatre!!!

I love that this post drips more acid than a dead Alien’s body. 🤭

It always used to be that the Porn industry was the litmus for new tech being successful - if it was going to actually be useful, they did it first.

Things like Credit Card security and encryption, and streaming and 4K are great examples.

Until they adopt it, it’s going nowhere.

1 - I bet that Musk read this and is already branding X-DysonSphere

2 - It feels like these guys watched all the dark SciFi baddies and said “Hey … note to self … do this!”

3 - TechBro VCs want the Game Changer “to the moon” tech. Not the actual useful stuff that could just change everybody’s life

In all honesty, it is probably spot on:

Trump gets angry == prices dump
TACO Tuesday == prices soar

It is such a testament to his character that we are even having this conversation about a player who barely played for us, and was replaced super quickly when the club got their new man.

I will always love Ramsdale, and think fondly whenever I get my portion of “Your Chips”

It would also totally never be a Bruised Banana gown either.

This cannot be just swept under the rug and forgotten about now that his contract as expired, especially with him seemingly very close to a renewal up to a few weeks ago.

Now that he can officially be named and talked about I do hope that there are more questions asked to the club about how they handled the situation with Thomas Partey.

I think it speaks volumes about Tomiyasu, how much we feel about this, considering how little he played for us.

Top player, and such a shame.

Mine suddenly turned super sassy on me too recently.
When I challenged it, it said that it was trying to match my demeanour and attitude. Kinda fun

A Premier League player is representing his club despite facing accusations of sexual violence. And nobody can talk or do anything about it.

We get security by surrendering privacy - but surely they go hand in hand, no?!?!?

Sounds really “Small Town England”, and I can appreciate that.

Although there is a part of my that wonders if, if you had hung around longer, would Simon Pegg have been involved?? 🤣😂

A replacement would be so difficult, with the way we play with him being so isolated. Any incoming player would probably see a massive drop in stats.

The Medical Debt Industry will have a melt down about this type of stance … now I’m conflicted. Haha
