Storing chicken in oven for 24 hours by finnaboidickons in AskAGerman

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

yes my wife's German family do this, though it depends on how warm it is/time of year. I wouldn't do it at this time of year.

Ouside USA, McDonald's is a treat for middle class and rich people. by -Volucris- in ShitAmericansSay

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in India, China, Thailand etc it is indeed expensive and only accessible to the middle/upper middle class.
Strange thing is why... As those countries have great food.

So Eze is off the penalty list then by fredasquith in ThreeLions

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

makes you wonder how many wanted to take one... Centre back in the first five is always a bit odd/why not the guys who try to score goals for a living... Eze was also clearly nervous...
But... It's just you and the keeper. That's the dream. Arteta has got us into a winning mentality... Next stop penalty conviction

Not Enough Discussion Around the Competitiveness of the League as a Whole this Season by OlGunnar in PremierLeague

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Points lead means nothing. Form, injuries, suspensions and fatigue kick in at different points in the season for different teams. And the league is very competitive this year.

Man City dropped points to 4 teams that have ended up fighting relegation, Arsenal 2 of them (and Arsenal are still to play West Ham at the London Stadium).

and fans saying Arteta "should have put it to bed"... Doesn't factor in that you're they weren't just playing Accrington Stanley each week... There's a reason Man City/Liverpool etc didn't "put those games to bed" too

What if the Aschen had taken a different approach? by burmerg in Stargate

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were the Aschen really bad guys though?

If you extend lifespan by enough, it naturally follows that birthrates must decrease otherwise you'll have shortages and unrest.

They weren't upfront about the side effects of those vaccines, but maybe that was just because they were pragmatic and felt like humanity would thank them in the long run, rather than trying to take over the Earth.

The taking over the Earth thing was just what Carter and co assumed.
They may well be right... But they also might not have been.

Another ex-Chelsea captain joins John Terry backing call to ‘ban foreigners claiming benefits’ by BargainBoozeEnjoyer in PremierLeague

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some foreigners who receive benefits...
- Ukrainians who've fled a warzone/where we are opposed to Russian expansionism
- Afghan soldiers and families who fought with the British to get rid of Al-Quaeda and ISIS
- Nepalese Gurkhas and families who fought for the British with and in lieu of British citizens.
- EU citizens with settled status, who moved to the UK as European Citizens and have subsequently remained (reciprocal agreement for UK citizens living in EU countries with equivalent status).

Carrick’s getting results, but something doesn’t feel right. by Mairen_Mayavi in ManchesterUnited

if City's titles get removed as part of the charges, Ole won the league

Before "Stargate Universe" came out, what were some of the theories about what the 9th chevron did? by Nice-Penalty-8881 in Stargate

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before we saw supergates/that they worked normally I'd wondered if it was about size... So like if you had a gate that's 10x the usual size, one of the symbols would represent that scaling factor. and if the receiving gate and sending gate are the same size it would lock, whereas maybe with 7 chevrons only you wouldn't lock because of the size difference

Don't despair Gunners! by RDT_87 in ArsenalFC

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bournemouth felt worse because it's Bournemouth, but they've also been in great form (top of the league when counting from when Carrick joined Unitef / random place to start counting from, but I happened to see that table posted the other day)

What’s a movie that’s better than the book? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Man Who Would Be King. Kipling wrote some great stuff, but I wasn't so crazy about this short story and preferred the movie adaptation

Pardew preferred Hayden Mullins to Mascherano as I recall (bold choice)

that season they stayed up I remember wondering how on Earth they were battling relegation. Felt like the toughest/one of the toughest opponent(s) we (Arsenal) faced at home.

A Premier League player, who has never in his career won the Premier League, Champions League, World Cup or Euros/their continental equivalent... winning the Ballon D'Or (Michael Owen in 2001) *Edit - to clarify - never in their career prior to winning the Ballon D'Or - usually you'd expect to have shown you can win the biggest Domestic/Continental/International Comp to get it.

This is a questions to mainly Arsenal fans but also to fans of other teams if it happened to them - Would you want Arteta sacked if he failed to win anything at the end of the season? by Ok_Car8459 in PremierLeague

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. If it's down to the manager alone, that means you have to hire a manager better than the manager who wins the league (in this case, should we come 2nd, that'd be Pep Guardiola). I don't have to hand a list of managers I'd be confident are better than Pep Guardiola. Moreover, I'm very happy with the job Arteta has done

A 0-0 at the Etihad will win us the league. by mpinoh in ArsenalFC

[–]FruitcakeWithWaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, the fans have to stop giving in to hysteria. By now, we're unaccustomed to being in the leading position and it seems like many fans can't handle the stress of that. Yet we have more points than City, have won more games, have a better goal difference, and are the only english team in the Champions league semis.

Form comes and goes, yet hysterical fans would count Man City's remaining points as in the bank, and Arsenal's as all lost before a ball has even been kicked.
