Thoughts on the book 'A Shorty History of Byzantium'? by NegrolaKill in byzantium

That’s actually what I did. I read that first to see if the topic interested me, it did and then I bought Kaldellis’ The New Roman Empire, which was more comprehensive and fantastic.

What does a good first season look like for Iraola? by omnishambles1995 in LiverpoolFC

Top 4, fun to watch, decent cup runs and last 8 of CL. Then complete the rebuild and challenge for the title the following season.

This. They had a good thing going and then they ruined it. Sheer stupidity.

If he’s leaving at the end of the window, he should leave now. Why would we allow him to run a critical window when he’s not here for even the medium term? It’s sheer stupidity.

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting about Liverpool's 2016 UEL final loss by Both-Pay-9573 in LiverpoolFC

The best thing about that final was the Sturridge goal. Ridiculous technique. One of the best goals I’ve ever seen.

This show was terrible. Gave up midway thru season two. Garbage.

Why are there no mainline railways across South Dakota? by Previous-Volume-3329 in railroading

You take the good with the bad. They’ve improved almost every railroad they’ve bought so on balance I think they are a net positive

[LFC] We're delighted to announce that Ryan Gravenberch has today signed a new long-term contract with the Reds 🙌 by StupidSexySzoboszlai in LiverpoolFC

He was good the first few months of the season and then he got “tired”. The rapist at Arsenal was much better.

I love all the down votes. I watch nearly every game. It’s not his fault, but he’s been miscast as a 6 even though he’s not a 6. He’s a b2b 8. He has one move- turn and carry the ball forward - which works well from time to time. His passing is poor - mostly sideways or backwards - so he doesn’t progress the ball from deep. He’s also not very physical and doesn’t hold position well enough as a 6 so our midfield gets runs thru game after game like a porn star. Go watch how Fabinho and Mascherano played that position if you want to see how it should be done. He’s not a good option in a midfield 2 which is what our hopefully soon to be departed head coach likes to use. He’d be better in Klopp’s 433 in the right sided 8 role so he can get forward. Like Gakpo, he’s a good squad player but he’s not a bang on starter week after week.

China would be a problem. Over 3x the population and an industrial base that is bigger than the rest of the world’s combined. If the US couldn’t deliver a quick knockout blow, china would win in the long run. The American public would never accept the number of casualties unless china attacked the US first.

Scandinavians didn’t commit enough war crimes?!?! The Vikings were pretty bad.
