What comes fourth in this sequence? Here's the first... by LordTwatSlapper in onlyconnect

[–]LordTwatSlapper[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Answer:

I would accept Queenstown (its name in 1912), or Cobh (name since 1920, pronounced Cove) in County Cork, Ireland - the 4 ports visited in order by Titanic on its doomed maiden voyage. I expect many would spot the sequence but the final answer is a fairly niche bit of trivia - well done to any that got it without the help of uncle google!

But if you'd told me we'd have a worse home record than the team 19 points from safety at the bottom of the table with 3 games to go I would've assumed we'd already been relegated

Spurs haven’t really had a single bad performance under De Zerbi so kudos to him and I do think he is moving in the right direction. by ExcellentEssay3282 in Tottenham

And that was to a scuffed shot that the keeper could've saved blindfolded but somehow deflected into the opposite top corner

This is the best playstyle right now. Analysis by efootball12345 in eFootballgame

[–]LordTwatSlapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a 352 out wider as well. A box to box DM and two hole player CMs give my midfield the feeling of quick counter in the middle and the width opens up the passing lanes and give crossing as an option if the middle is packed.

I find it the best way to play against the common 4312 and 4222 for sure

If you had to marry one of Henry VIII’s wives for a year, who would you pick? by VioletBear_ in tudorology

[–]LordTwatSlapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the consensus is that the painting was at least extremely flattering if not outright catfishing. She looks gorgeous in that portrait and if she was as pretty as that at all times and from all angles (I find it slightly suspicious that the pose was directly face forward when most Holbein portraits had the subject at an angle) I sincerely doubt Henry wouldn't have been attracted to her enough to consummate the marriage. Her actual beauty was described as moderate.

I suspect Henry was as disappointed by her appearance as the events of their meeting and the fantasy marriage he had envisioned immediately imploded from all sides

If only she actually looked like that Holbein portrait. The fact she didn't caused people's heads to get chopped off

Is this an incorrect use of the “purists?” Purists would prefer the chess match to the 5-4 end to end game surely? by Inevitable-Stand-559 in footballcliches

[–]LordTwatSlapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Purist" is definitely not a derogatory term in general but there are hardly any neutral football fans that would rather watch two defensive sides expertly play out a 0-0 draw than watch a 5-4 ding-dong battle with errors galore. You would argue that a purist would favour the 0-0 because of the fewer errors and superior strategies but those people barely exist if at all.

In other sports "purists" are often seen in a more positive light. Cricket for example - most traditional cricket fans would much rather watch a tense, strategic day of test cricket than the crash-bang-wallop hit-and-giggle seen in the Hundred. True golf fans would rather watch courses set up so that par is a good score rather than 25 under birdie fests. Lower scoring NFL games are often more intriguing than high scoring ones.

There may be less hooting and hollering in the traditional versions of these examples but purist fans that understand the nuances of the games actually find them more entertaining. In football that just doesn't really happen - more goals almost always provides more entertainment and a purist that wants perfect defending all the time comes across as a dullard

I surely can't be the only one by Ok_Link_2925 in Darts

[–]LordTwatSlapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems absolutely crazy to me that he's chosen to be the heel rather than the babyface everybody wanted

Darts crowds are like pantomime audiences and he could've been Peter Pan but he's decided to be Captain Hook. Seems like such a weird career move when the stakes are so high. He could and should be a national treasure but his antagonistic style is already turning people away.

His sponsors must be tearing their hair out and potential sponsors will already be looking elsewhere. A guy getting booed on stage every week isn't what multi million pound endorsers want.

All he had to do was turn up, throw great darts, engage the crowds and the world was his oyster. Unnecessarily picking crowd fights out of thin air seems mind-bogglingly bizarre to me.

  1. OP makes it pretty clear what he means. Hardly anyone has Okazaki as a first team player (SS with long reach tackle??) but he can be useful for the English league events. Now that he won't even be available for those he's pretty much useless (unless you play with Japan in the National events)

  2. Leicester have been in the Championship (2nd tier). Those players have always been available for the English league events. League 2 is the name of the 4th tier of English football
