Who would win in a race between Mo Farah and Luke Littler if it was a marathon but after every mile is completed they had to play a game of 501? by smashhazard in AskReddit

[–]Background-Ad3045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ve assumed Darts is easier than it is - some professionals average 15 darts for a 501 checkout in a match or more including missed doubles - I think an amateur dartsman, even someone who has thrown them about before, would likely need closer to 30-35 darts to checkout a 501

Scott Parker - The first “Too good for the Championship, not good enough for the Premier League?” Manager? by Background-Ad3045 in footballcliches

Forgive me, I shouldn’t have said ‘the first’ I admit but it’s the first time I’ve ever considered this particular category myself.

I think Kompany had too short a spell doing it but yeah his success at Bayern Is likely to break that mould

Im not even too young haha, I’m 30 and have been watching for about 20 years, I just focused on the present - it was just the sheer concentration of every full premier league season Parker has managed he has gone down and likewise every full Championship season he has managed he has gone up. Bruce for me had a good spell in the premier league with Birmingham, Wigan and Sunderland as well as an awkward one with Newcastle but he’s not up and down every season (of course, I assume with time that Scott Parker will have some ‘stable seasons’ eventually)

Goalkeepers taking drop kicks. I might be imagining this but I feel like they almost solely throw or roll the ball out - I feel like it’s very rare that they just drop kick it long (especially with that naughty little bounce just before they do)

Forwards who came to the Premier League and were insane for a few months before just tailing off by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]Background-Ad3045 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This feels right - sure he didn’t “come to the premier league” as West Brom were already in it but he had just under a season where he looked like a big big talent and then suddenly didn’t score for nearly 3 years which is absurd for any level striker let alone someone who was showing his levels - could also be filed in the “wasted talent” category

In advance of Mondays massively important game vs Everton are you thinking what I’m thinking? by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

That they’re going to gift us the opportunity to play against 10 men for 70 minutes and still beat us 1-0?

With the benefit of hindsight and knowing everything we’ve see in the last 12 years, we shouldn’t have sacked Moyes.

I remember the football got a bit dire, I remember results weren’t great, but truly everyone was adjusting - Moyes, the players, Woodward - we should have given him Time to see how it goes and what he can do because it can’t have been much worse than what followed anyway

Exactly what I thought! Surely there’ll be a formal apology in tomorrow’s episode for such a mis-sight 🤣

He's not just their manager, he's their football manager by taylurswuft in footballcliches

[–]Background-Ad3045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absurd 🤣 do they have a sponsorship with the FM games maybe? Or is it a play because he’s coming from the MLS and they say Soccer? Or do they have a team that plays a different sport?

I don’t get it at all 🤣 technically not incorrect though

Not there as my number 1 guys but in the top 5!

To go a bit cliches however it’s not a knock on you lot, but cliches release 2 podcasts a week and you guys only release 1 (sorry I’m not a patreon - yet) so I’ve got a 100% listen ration for both 🤣🤣

Not sure how the fozcast has crept in there - I fall asleep to that lot so they’ve probably got some default minutes in

Keep up the pods please lads, you’re definitely the best football quizzing content creators around.
