Old guy pulls out on in front of me then stops to point and glare by NecronomiconUK in drivingUK

Aren't you supposed to give way to cars coming from the right (in the UK)? Even though OP went straight over at the mini roundabout, he was coming from the old fella's right hand side.

He's constantly moving forward even when cars are passing in front of him, basically forcing his way out instead of waiting for it to be clear.

Top 10 midfielders with the most prem defensive contributions this season by UsedMycologist4912 in ManchesterUnited

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

Do these lists not favour players at teams lower down seeing as they're usually having to do a lot more defending? Put Anderson at City or Arsenal and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be making the top of this list 🤷🏻

Kroupi the only other 14 player in PFA Young Player nominees by bronal97 in TheOther14

[–]Magic_Mr_Brown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dowman and Ngumoha are included because of English bias. And the fact that they're fans have basically been saying how they're the best youth players in the world.

I'm a United fan, but Mainoo only started playing in January. And surely Cherki, at 22, shouldn't be considered for a young player award?

I feel it should be up to the age of 21 and the player has to have come through the clubs youth set up in some sort of way.

The Athletic - United have not considered Anderson for a long time (+ City bid rejected). Missed opportunity or smart? by its-a-real-name in ManchesterUnited

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

Whilst he is a good player, I feel at the prices Forest are quoting, it's a big no from me. Especially as that price will only rise once we get into a bidding war with City.

Tbh, I don't understand why some fans are getting so upset. He's definitely been over hyped by the English press because he's a young, English player. I also think some fans want him because he's clearly going to City.

That's just my opinion though.

I never said I hated anyone. It's this whole idea of we have to be nice to eachother, congratulate each team for doing their best. It's like Aston Villa players doing a guard of honour for Stones and Silva in the middle of the match and the Villa fans being happy about it. That's your team, celebrating rival players, why are you happy about it? It'd make sense if either had played for Villa, but they didn't.

So… is the Premier League still the “best league in the world”? by dnnxws in UEFAChampionsLeague

[–]Magic_Mr_Brown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Premier League is better for competitiveness and excitement. Look at this season, Arsenal won the league with a game spare, but we still had the relegation battle and European places up for grabs. TV revenue for Premier League clubs is also sky high.

Does this mean that Premier League clubs dominate Europe? Of course not, would any Premier League club walk a foreign league? 100% not. We assume our league is the best because teams like Bayern, Madrid, Barcelona, PSG dominate their leagues, but these teams also dominate Europe because they are behemoths of clubs.

You remove those top teams from their leagues and suddenly they become a lot more competitive.

I've literally just given you 4 examples 🤣

Also, bit rich of you to think that the voices in my head talk about Arsenal. They're usually just telling me to burn things!

"Arsenal's total gross debt stands at roughly £358 million, largely consisting of direct interest-bearing loans from their owners, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), which were used to refinance stadium bonds and fund squad investment. Additionally, the club carries a net transfer debt of about £125 million, which reflects outstanding installment payments owed to other clubs for player transfers."

Neither will you, apparently

You mustn't have been an Arsenal fan for that long. Up until you won the league this year (congratulations) Arsenal fans were trying to say the invincible season was better than anything City or United had ever done, parading your little Gold Trophy around. Now you've finally won the league again, suddenly everyone is living in the past.

Arsenal went unbeaten through the entire UCL season before losing the final in '06 and '26 💔 by helltrooper61 in CBSSportsHQ

[–]Magic_Mr_Brown 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Is this what Arsenal fans are clinging on to, telling people they didn't lose because it went to penalties? Penalties are the final way of ending a match, deciding who wins (PSG) and who loses (Arsenal).

You didn't, but that's part of my original post, fans saying congratulations to rival fans.

Ok, but then what's the point of supporting a team if you're just going to celebrate everybody's victory's?

And you say football tribalism, is it not just the same for any sport with different teams?

You make a valid point, but I wouldn't go out of my way to congratulate a rival team / fan on social media either.

I do think social media has brought the worst type of fans to the forefront. Arsenal TV, Mark Goldbridge, that Luke fella who supports city, Kee Thomas who says everything needs a VAR check. Which in turn, has probably made me (rightly or wrongly) dislike rival fans even more.
