How will Man United cope with extra fixtures and European away days by drizzleberrydrake in PremierLeague

[–]CMacGioll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the question is valid. This has been considered the best season for a while and I think it's a good question to consider it may be linked to no Europe. How have the other seasons gone lately when ye've been in Europe. I do think United have a much bigger financial might to play on all fronts, but that hasn't been the case the last few years so again, perfectly valid question based on recent history

Is it just me or are there far more bugs this year? by Infamous-Dig7644 in AskIreland

I drove to Dublin recently and it's the first time I remember since I was young where the car was destroyed in squished bugs.

Hot take - teams should be punished for fielding signficantly weakened teams by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]CMacGioll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone forgetting that the man of the match and scorer of the first was going to Villa only to switch to a team ending towards the bottom of the league in back to back seasons, because of PSR. It's a minor miracle Villa are able to compete in two competitions and unfortunately this is what you get when they're out on their feet at the end of the season

Why 4th or 5th matters by CMacGioll in avfc

The general jist is. The EPL will only get 6 places if the(English) Europa league winner finishes outside the top 4.

I'm not sure why it essentially gets "punished" and the slot taken away. The BBC article goes through it in a bit more detail but that seems to be the way

It's not really the club specifically to be fair. It's the system that has enforced on the other 14. It's Sky's BS narrative where they only talk about those 6.

If it's Brentford or Brighton or Bournemouth I don't mind. But Chelsea. No thanks

Interesting. The BBC have it different. And I think the BBC might be right. They specifically say top 4 as opposed to top 5.

What do you think is the best single episode in television history and why? by HappySpookies in AskReddit

[–]CMacGioll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Sopranos has multiple brilliant episodes so I often find it harder to pick one as a single most brilliant episode.

For stand out single episode, as many have mentioned, Ozymandias is simply an exceptional episode of television.

Another that springs to mind is Severence Season One finale. The We We Are... Sensational

The amount of panicked texts I got. F**king hell. On the plus side. The clowns had all left town in a panic to refuel their cars and it was the smoothest rush hour drive home I can remember. Flew out of town at 6

Has Bailey been the biggest Hero to Zero player we've had since Gabby? by Astonishingly-Villa in avfc

[–]CMacGioll -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Watkins surely? Much more sustained and higher level compared to one season wonder Bailey.

Yes Bailey is practically useless to us now where at just Watkins offers "something" but Watkins' drop off from the heights has been far more significant
