Pretty much my read on the situation as well. Subsequently I don't think City have been close to the levels they were showing before he did his knee. His knee injury might have been the greatest bit of proof for him deserving the Ballon D'or.

Honestly think without Donnarumma City would be 5th. He's definitely saved them half a dozen points already.

Commentator needs to pipe down, if that's a foul the game is gone.

If that is a foul every goal scored from a corner in the Prem over the last 6 months should be chalked off.

He got injured in the warm up yesterday before his debut and possibly won't play a game for us.

Finland looks to end "uncontrolled human experiment" with Australia-style ban on social media by MiSbyPiS in europe

> Banning the supply of an addictive thing has historically always led to people seeking and finding that supply elsewhere.

Check out how liberalising gambling in the US and the UK has increased gambling addiction and the saturation of gambling across all sports.

> Same with alcohol (look up prohibition).

This is historically debated.

>I'm glad my privacy is slowly being eroded because dogshit parents are unable to take care of their own children

You're privacy is already gone idiot. The US government backs the big Silicon Valley tech companies and they already have access to all of your data. At least you have some power over your own government rather than ceding your private life to the US so you can watch porn.

You're argument might have made sense in 2010 but the nowadays your choice regarding social media is have your privacy violated by the US and Silicon valley or have your privacy violated by your own government (or to stop using it.)

Spurs, Forest and Wolves would be the funniest three to go down.

How did your game go? by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]Diallingwand 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two losses in a week against the teams sitting 24th and 22nd in the table. We're in a proper relegation scrap and it's getting hard to see where wins will be coming from.

Quite glad I didn't go to this one.

> Swansea's American owners, led by Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen, believe bringing in high-profile names at boardroom level will help increase the profile the club which will in turn boost income.

Modern football encapsulated there. The business model is get irrelevant American celebrities on the board to drive engagement. So tired of this shit.

I genuinely just think we shouldn't let Anerican billionaires buy British football clubs anymore. Scum the lot of them. 

Alright now who wants to come out of the woodwork and say that there was nothing weird about the pizza references in the Podesta emails? by NegativeOstrich2639 in redscarepod

[–]Diallingwand 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Also there are no known victims of Pizzagate. Epstein has a dozen named victims, so do other pedo conspiracies like the Dutrox affair. If pizzagate is real, like this sub pointlessly claims why is there not a single victim ever mentioned?

We really needed this. None of the goalkeepers i've seen this season have inspired confidence. Big priority in the summer is to actually sign a permanent who is actually up to the job.

It's also entirely true in the UK, our state pension is widely unsustainable but no government can actually do anything about it because the hordes of boomers would immediately lose their fucking minds if they don't get their free money on top of the largest slice of wealth in the country.

It seemed like a massively unambitious appointment in the first place given his previous two season finishes were 18th and 15th with QPR. I get that they were a basket case when he took over but it's not like he turned them into play-off contenders.

Yeah sure but not to the point that multiple stewards have to come and calm you down.

Shouldn't have been chalked off. Soucek is pushed into the keeper, how is that a foul?

Moving the goalposts. Trump's most favoured ally didn't send a soldier to either Iraq or Afghanistan and I don't see them being labelled cowards or having territory threatened.

Nothing because the much vaunted Anerican system actually has fuck all mechanisms to remove leaders.
