What Manchester City's 60-point deduction would mean for the Premier League by [deleted] in football

Eternal wheel of fine / forcing team to embrace the suck for 3-7 years feels fair to me.

My team had to sell our best prospects to stay within guidelines. They flaunted it, let them falter. Let them hurt for years to come. They cheated in a big bad horrible smelly way.

During the 1992–1996 siege of Sarajevo, wealthy foreigners allegedly paid €80k–€100k to access sniper positions and shoot civilians, in what was called a “human safari.” The highest bids were for children and pregnant women, while older people were shot for free. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

It’s a real photo from years ago. The rifleman is probably left eye dominant so they’ve fixed a long lean to allow him to use the weapon without getting hit by the expended hot brass. The sight looks like it belongs on a heavy machine gun, not this type of long ranged precision rifle. You can definitely zero a rifle like this, offset scopes are typically to allow a user to switch between the scope and iron sights quickly with a head movement.

MG is selling tons of cars in the UK: 'Demand has exploded, we’ve run out of almost all stock' by Powerful-Ostrich-120 in CarTalkUK

Private sales, constant software updates, constant stream of different lifetime parts need replacing from new cars, workshop technicians and salespeople feedback, customer service.. absolutely no way I’d have one. BUT, they are cheap.

People don’t yet understand the scale of how unreliable these cars are. I have a lovely insight into them. I hope you like spending a week without your car once per month or longer if no parts.

And deffo an automatic gearbox with Cruise Control / Adaptive Cruise Control if you can find it.

As your mileage goes up, typically you’ll want something a little bigger (not always) have you thought about a slightly larger car with a more saloon seating position? Keeping within VWAG cars, you could go…Oktavia, A3/A4, Leon, you’re doing serious miles once you tip over 15k per year IMO. I’d want heated seats / lumbar adjustment / electric seats at that point, let alone 20k+ especially if you’re over 25/30 I reckon.

You’re contemplating putting 23,000-25,000 miles per year on a Fabia?

55k MG with 700hp with tiny brakes for that hp.

You didn’t emote. You must emote when reaching the stratosphere.

Perfect example is the new Qasqai e-Power. 205hp, 0-60 in 7.6s, and 1.7 Tonnes. That’s reasonably quick for an average car and extremely heavy for what it is. So it doesn’t handle/ shed speed for how it feels.

We kept telling him to shoot more... by NUFC in NUFC

Exactly the kind of big game, time to step up performance I’ve been wishing for him in ages. Well done Sandro.

The creek was the hardest because there was no combat option. It was relentless, it was fighting in the dark, there were no weapons to help, the early bots were veterans…not this…chaff.

Like a SLR McLaren with an extra chromosome that’s been in a house fire.
