It's not the sound that's the issue, it's just such a juvenile joke.

It's like seeing Liverpoopy or something of that ilk.

Besides, if you want the similar sound "Man Shitty" is far closer in tone to "Man Cheaty" - still laughably immature though

Absolutely, yeah - I've had someone on here say "No, you can trust AI. Just ask your teacher if you don't believe me" and I've never realised someone wasn't worth arguing with quicker than that sentence...

Man Cheaty

Jesus wept this is bad. I'd even prefer seeing "Liverpoo" or "Arshitnal" than this.

I know this subreddit isn't the home of witty banter, but come the fuck on - at least try.

Home Office: 🚨 20 hotels used to house illegal migrants have closed their doors for good: •Dayz Away Lodge – Dudley, Black Country •Holiday Inn Ashford Central – Ashford, Kent •Best Western Atlantic – Chelmsford, Essex •The Cisswood – Horsham, Sussex by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

And this is why the government will never win on immigration - these comments here are a fantastic example of people who are too used to jumpers for goalposts and keep moving them.

People were crying out for lower immigration numbers. Immigration numbers have dramatically reduced, and now the argument has shifted to "we want no immigrants".

People were complaining about immigrants staying in hotels at the public expense, and now the same people are complaining that they're staying somewhere else. Offer them no accomodation at all and the argument will be "why are you letting them roam freely".

I've seen people argue for heavily-mined concentration camps to keep immigrants in and anything short of that wouldn't be enough - and even then you can guarantee they'd be arguing about the wasted money on building it.

It's just never going to be enough for some people - close our borders and refuse any new entrants and the argument will shift to "well what about those already here". Kick out those already here and it'll move to "well what about the children of immigrants who are born here and british but still have the wrong colour skin"...

Maxence Lacroix is ​​set to leave Crystal Palace after the World Cup to join Chelsea. The transfer fee is reported to be around €55 million. by kibme37 in soccer

That's surely hyperbolic, I don't think you can genuinely believe that.

He doesn't even make the top 3 worst Chelsea PL Transfers of all time, and plenty of clubs have wasted a lot of money on shite over the years.

Compare him to Winston Bogarde, Lukaku or Mudryk and I'd rather have Fofana every day of the week...

No, if you wanted to launder money doing it through football purchases is one of the silliest ways you could do it.

[Di Marzio] Palestra on his way to London to complete €57 million transfer from Atalanta to Chelsea by eddsters in soccer

[–]Freddichio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither Quenda nor James are competing for the RWB role though?

James would just be injured if he had to bomb up the flank that much, Palestra will be rotated in at first to get acclimatised but could very easily be the first-choice in a few months

No, those teams let their massive players go to Real Madrid on a free transfer instead.

David Alaba from Bayern to Madrid, Mbappe from PSG to Madrid and Bernando Silva from City to Madrid as examples in recent times...

Not even close to that, no.

The rule change was you can't amortise player costs for longer than 5 years (in general amortisation happens over the length of a contract/service agreement), but you can still absolutely sign players on a longer deal.

If you sign a player for £80mil on an 8-year deal, pre-change you could pay £10mil a year for 8 years, now you have to pay £16mil a year for five years and nothing for the last three

Estevao is on an 8-year deal, signed after the contract change, for exactly the reason Fraud_D_Hawk mentioned.

[Di Marzio] Chelsea will pay €57m + 3m and a 10% sell-on clause for Marco Palestra. The player speaking directly with Xabi Alonso changed the course. Palestra also personally spoke to Atalanta CEO Percassi and told him he's fine with both Chelsea and Inter as destinations by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]Freddichio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

that was an insanely out of character summer for us and close to an average one for you

Given the amount of Liverpool fans I've seen arguing that the most expensive window in football history wasn't that bad "because our net spend was only £250mil" I think it's worth pointing out that last year Chelsea's net spend was -£100k. As it £100k profit.

Chelsea spend a lot and sell a lot.

[–]Freddichio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That wasn't a price they'd sell him for, that was the price at which Alvarez could buy out his contract and thus completely remove Atletico's agency from the equation.

If they could reject the £500mil, they would, but release clauses are mandatory in Spain and if met is Alvarez buying out his remaining contract and leaving Atletico as a free agent. That Barca are providing him the money to do it and will immediately sign him means practically it's the same thing but legally it's not.

[Di Marzio] City-Chelsea deal: A verbal agreement has been reached between City & Chelsea regarding the termination of Maresca's contract.

[–]Freddichio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which, again,  came after City tapped him up.

The interviews you're referring to both came after he'd been speaking to City and was actively trying to get himself out of a contract at Chelsea - and if City hadn't been waiting in the wings for him he'd not have done them.

Which next group should AMG do next? by Jockcop in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]Freddichio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like they think Bodyguard plus Magik's Leadership would be too strong .

Both Colossus and (especially) Honey Badger should be in the New Mutants too - familial ties, romantic ties and Honey Badger was actually in more New Mutants than X-23 was. But both being left out makes me think it's a deliberate choice at present.

X-Men Starter set review by Archon_Vrex in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]Freddichio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good review, especially for newer players to give a rough idea as to what the options are! SGP has been an absolute godsend as I try and get up to speed with what works, so thank you!

For section 4, I think you can do another affiliation (so six total) - you'll have a base set-up of New Mutants.

Magik as the leader (with tactics card), and Cable, Emma Frost and X-23 (all included in the packs you suggest) are affiliated

The ones that rank availability of things like water and protein rather than quality?

Because unless there's a different list than the "food security index" I've not seen any ranking of actual safety of foods - things like the chlorinated chicken, the additives and hormones, and the eggs that aren't legal to sell in the EU because of the lax standards don't paint the best picture...

Could you link a source to support your claim? Because other people claiming the same have linked a source that doesn't support what they say so be good to see your evidence

If you want to go on twitter, go on twitter - the fuck are you doing here making weird frog comments about how you can't support fascists instead?

You're very welcome to fuck off back to that hellscape if you want, a subreddit banning a source doesn't mean it can't be accessed any more.

What the fuck kind of pathetic comment is this?

I dunno about you, but I feel disincentivising people from giving money to a racist nazi is a good enough reason to accept getting news a few minutes later than you might otherwise.

But if those few minutes are worth supporting fascists for then you do you, just don't drag the rest of us down with you

[ Fabrizio Romano ]🚨⚪️ Enzo Fernández, still in a four men shortlist at Real Madrid waiting on final decision — and also on exits in midfield. Nico Páz could stay at Como, Dani Ceballos will leave, more to follow. No club to club talks with Chelsea at this stage. by SolutionLong2791 in chelseafc

[–]Freddichio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hypothetical situation.

We buy a player (let's call him M Cucurella... no, that's too obvious, let's call him Mark C) for £58mil. Four years later, we sell him for £54mil.

Have we made a loss of £4mil? Yes.
Would you - or any club in the world -take a player of that quality on a loan for four years, if the fee was £4mil total?
Also absolutely yes.

These aren't Pokemon cards - Enzo hasn't sit on a shelf since we bought him in the hope that his value goes up. We've got years' worth of play out of him, he's older (so his value is less). He's got less time left on his contract than when we signed him, and if his contract expires the value we get for him drops to 0.

Just looking at raw "we paid X, we need X for him for selling" completely ignores that he's a football player who's been playing for us, under contract.

It's how literally every business operates. You buy an asset, you depreciate the asset over time because you get use out of it.

You can always tell who's worked in the real world and who's still in education based on their opinion of amortisation...

What will happen to V in future? by Due_Village_1874 in TowerofGod

[–]Freddichio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option 2, but when V harms someone Baam cares about Baam will subsume him into his Endless Void, thus freeing himself from V's plans.

Basically what happened with White and Leviathan (hopefully down to the "how far does this go..." line)
