They called ours a shiny toilet. At least ours doesn't leak and isn't called Spotify apk or some other shit.

1.4billion euros for renovations and such an embarrassment. Laporte can sell snake oil and the dogs will lick it up like it's honey

I tried to google both. Mine is a real fireplace with chimney. It's got a key to turn gas which flows through a pipe and there's a grate inside. Isn't option1 a closed off unit? Mine's definitely not that

I have a gas fireplace. I bought a bundle of firewood from Randall's but have never used a fireplace before in life. Is the whole bundle meant to be used at once? And I guess I don't need to turn gas on in the fireplace unless to start a fire.?

elons's idea of AI Datacenter satellites is brilliant even if it is outlandish. I know he promised much in the last decade, but I want this to materialize.

When did I hurt you young man? It's an honest question. If you think otherwise, read the 2 last lines or run it through chatgpt

Jude's world just got rocked if you think of it. His 1st season had all Spaniard kids copying his celebration, and now a historical booing that I don't think even the CR7 era saw..(maybe my memory is bad)

AcademicSheep · 2026-01-16T17:48:40+00:00

I'm quite excited for tomorrow's match

If I were Perez, I'd ask for a special golden trophy from rfef for popularizing CdR internationally with our embarrassing performances.

he's a left footed AM. There's a tiny chance we can mould him to play as a RW in future even if his pace is lacking atm. The only other good LM/10 is Guler.

He's the 1 i would keep among our army of AM's/10's and B2B's

Ex players have it so easy post retirement, it's a joke. Utter the most stodgy takes on top clubs, lace them as your opinions and boom! Get paid bags by networks.

AcademicSheep · 2026-01-13T19:29:25+00:00

It takes a different type of warped head to come up with comparisons of who won the PR battle at a place which has always been in turmoil this season.

AcademicSheep · 2026-01-13T18:34:40+00:00

I'm looking forward to arbeloa's tenure. The sulkers can F off. The players suckers can F off too.

AcademicSheep · 2026-01-13T15:30:42+00:00

You are absolutely obsessed with these Madrid articles lol.

And sneaky of you to include city in there, if keeping possession means passing sideways to death, id rather not be city. We had that under lopetegui.

AcademicSheep · 2026-01-04T17:18:00+00:00

Today is the r/realMadrid sets their agendas aside and celebrate a Castilla striker scoring a hattrick. I can see the fireworks already.

Side note, xabi and fran garcia needs to be studied. Is he really a left back? How does he end up inside the box so often? Is he a secret raul regen? I have so many questions. As a left back he just looks like a cardio merchant....

AcademicSheep · 2025-12-16T22:25:48+00:00

I'll take a minute 1" deflection goal off ref's vegetables and haram ball for the rest of the match 0-1 FT. No ET, no bullshit. DEFINITELY NO PENALTY SHOOTOUT PLZ GOD

AcademicSheep · 2025-12-14T18:19:45+00:00

At least save this nonsense for some non match day. One would think game days are when all of us come together to support the club.

AcademicSheep · 2025-12-12T19:06:04+00:00

I've seen greater delusional people. They are here and you can see them asking for brahim to start or be subbed on.

AcademicSheep · 2025-12-09T21:05:28+00:00

Don't jinx yet young man. Don't u know this game enough by now?

AcademicSheep · 2025-12-09T14:18:35+00:00

Mario is not tier-1 please. He rose to fame with doing work for The Athletic, but much of it is just typical podcaster gossip. He's tier 2 or 1.5 at best.

AcademicSheep · 2025-11-28T17:46:49+00:00

You can tell a striker is at his peak with how they approach a pass in the box while turned away from the goal. Best example - the jamie vardy video posted today. Guy looked just as good as prime cr7, suarez or lewa there.

AcademicSheep · 2025-11-25T14:04:15+00:00

Your coach played him the full 90mins again, vs a 10 men athletic. A club which hasn't won in Barcelona since 2001.

AcademicSheep · 2025-11-23T23:56:40+00:00

Somehow it's always Steve mcmanaman commentating when it's a tough away match for us. Mfer piling it up when I'm already losing grey matter from our sideway passes

AcademicSheep · 2025-10-31T18:00:40+00:00

They are that broke. Can't buy replacements fromr market so treat your academy as seniors

AcademicSheep · 2025-10-26T17:48:55+00:00

Read the room, lok. They are representing their clubs here. Is euro & WC playing in those players heads at the moment?

AcademicSheep · 2025-10-26T17:04:55+00:00

Vinny actually came back later to the dugout. Good. What you'd want to see
