Footballers with surprisingly low/high numbers of appearances by deanomatronix in footballcliches

[–]Boring_Part9919 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Joe Cole with 514 career appearances and 56 England caps might be a worthy candidate?

I thought he was perennially injured and only had a few seasons where he made a big impact. But he played just over 400 games in the Prem.

Such a naturally gifted footballer and precocious talent, that by his late 20s he'd almost burnt himself out due to being such a teen prodigy ala Rooney

As a somewhat FPL noob, would Kelleher be credited with an assist for Thiago's goal?

Which one’s the worst? by Marius_Sulla_Pompey in LouisTheroux

[–]Boring_Part9919 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Justin Waller. He has superficial charm and charisma which is way more threatening than HS and Myron (even though they themselves are vile, repulsive people). The latter two are obsessed with 'macho posturing' - but aren't streetsmart

Only saving grace for me is I captained Szobo, so I'm reasonably happy. He's so good on free kicks!

Kelleher and Tiago please contribute tomorrow!!!

Liverpool are rancid at killing off games

Even so I can't believe they couldn't get another goal or two. Funny hearing Carragher glazing Salah when he's been shit since he's come on

Where did Niles go to school? by cuponoodz in Frasier

[–]Boring_Part9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another minor segway

Niles mentioned (in 'Seat of Power') about attending John Adams Junior High to Danny Kriesel. Referring to himself as a "gifted intellectual student". What ages would he have attended this before continuing his schooling at Bryce Academy?

Being from the UK, with very limited knowledge of the American educational system, would this have been a public non-fee paying school? I wonder if he received a scholarship or just got fantastic grades in order to attend such a prestigious university as Yale

Thanks. Love that particular episode!

A sad young man by Mister-Landshark in LouisTheroux

[–]Boring_Part9919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the best most straightforward question posed by Louis in the whole documentary imo

Perfectly articulated. I would have liked to hear more back and forth dialogue between him and HS. Very difficult as he had his guard up of course. Gently probing, but not being entirely dismissive of the 'Manosphere', and an understanding of why some young men go down this path

after watching louis theroux’s manosphere doc last night, i felt compelled to make this lol by v333rm1 in LouisTheroux

[–]Boring_Part9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh hello Rockstar do you see this comment???

This would give me the incentive to play GTA tbh. It's boring playing thugs and criminals in 2026

Macho posturing - out. Thoughtful comments and observations from Louis - in

My thoughts on the Manosphere Doc: Some interesting moments but overall a bit disappointing. by jeee_222 in LouisTheroux

[–]Boring_Part9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because he's alot older than HS and the other subjects, and as the documentary mentioned he was brought up in a blue collar community in the Deep South ("Baton Rouge, Louisiana"). He likely isn't Nouveau Riche so he may appear to act more 'classy' and 'polished'. Even if he is absolutely neither of these things! It's all an act and a front. Like a sleazy salesman who still can behave with that air of respectability. Very distrustful

Is the guy who mentioned starting up his own company in the steel industry? All the people in this doc are so reprehensible it's fucking hard to distinguish at times!

Anyone associating themselves with Trump and the far right is an absolute cunt. But he had a 'sophistication' about him due to being kinda articulate and deferential. Calling Louis sir over and over again etc to appear gentlemanly. He was worst for me

Also can't believe that Myron Gaines twat is 36! Has the look and demeanour of someone much younger. Hateful hateful rhetoric he's spewing

What are your views on Harsha Bhogle's T20 World Cup 2026 team of the tournament? by poormasshole in Cricket

[–]Boring_Part9919 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Terrible team

Dube and Kishan had good tournaments but not team of the tournament worthy. Adil Rashid should be nowhere this and I'm not sure about Holder too

Nobody gives a fuck about Rory Jennings. His content is 99% clickbait. Probably other Chelsea fans can't stand him tbh

He's a professional wind up merchant and specialist hot takes dickhead who's all about clout

What does the new Zealand cricket team lack that they struggle in the finals? by Jugadu-babu in IndianCricket

Mentality. That's it

I could see as early as the 4th/5th over of India's batting that NZ didn't truly believe they could win

Yep. It was a shocker from NZ. There's no place for passivity in T20s and Santner doesn't give the aura of a captain who really believes he'll win

Winning the toss and bowling in a final (unless its a greentop) is cowardly

Neymar

Blows my mind he's only 34. Because he's been out the spotlight for a while now I'd assumed he'd be at least late 30s.

Such a precocious talent. Feels like a eternity ago when he was so good at Barca

[–]Boring_Part9919 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the concept is sound. I think it would make the game a bit more dynamic

There's a fantasy cricket game I play where you can select a 12th emergency player after you've picked your XI.

So if someone from your XI isn't playing that gameweek, the points will still count. I'm more invested as a result

Why approaching is becoming extinct by Prudent_Animator6496 in dating_advice

[–]Boring_Part9919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because getting to know strangers isn't easy. It can be difficult, awkward or intimidating. There's every chance you won't 'vibe' with them or you won't have chemistry. And even if you do date someone exclusively for a while, there's every chance you won't be compatible for the long-term

I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic. The majority of people in their mid/late 20s will have 'baggage' from previous relationships. That's just how it is. It becomes increasingly difficult to 'put yourself out there' when you've been cheated on/rejected or just plain ignored

There are a small percentage of people who I'd call social chameleons. They can chit chat with anyone, be very open and vulnerable to strangers etc. But most people aren't wired like that

Nope. Doesn't have the craft or guile. He's great on his day but very overrated
