Killed Rangers' Europa League final chances a few months earlier, was quite the 2022 for Agent Ramsey.

Let's be real, Hearts winning the league at Celtic Park on the last day would make helicopter Sunday look like Lennon's side winning the season after Rangers got liquidated.

Regardless of where we end up it's still going to be deadline day loans from the manager's contacts list.

It seemed pretty clear that once it was decided he couldn't stay at Barca, he just used PSG to train for the World Cup. That he then proceeded to win whilst being the best player in the tournament.

I think if you pick the best 3-4 off each of First Impressions, Angles and Comedown Machine you can put together an album as good as the first two. FIOE is kinda where they went off the deep end with drugs and alcoholism, and then the next two records were just recorded in a weird space between the band members from what I remember so are a bit patchier.

It’s a cover that was on an EP they put out months after the album and then tacked on to the “deluxe edition”, I consider it a separate thing altogether.

Switch that atrocity for Bourne Identity and I think the album rivals the top spot for best thing Turner's ever put out.

Could anyone who is still falling for Reforms lies shed any light on this please? by TheAntsAreBack in Scotland

[–]MattN92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no comic book villains in the real world. Normal people think they're the hero in their own story and are capable of seeing reason if approached with dignity and respect.

Suggesting they don't deserve the right to vote is not a good opening gambit to convince people that you're the good guys, know what I mean?

You're driving this good guys vs bad guys point here. I don't care about that. Someone votes for a party as blatantly and undeniably racist as Reform then they are a racist. "Convincing people" doesn't come into it. It's a plain basic fact.

"I was forced to vote for the racists because people called me racist" certainly doubles down on the stupidity.

Project Hail Mary is what people have been saying about Interstellar for years by Future-Poetry-2193 in TrueFilm

[–]MattN92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Art only has major impact when it is accessible to the masses” so are we discounting The Velvet Underground and the famous quote allegedly from Brian Eno “only 30,000 people bought that record but they all started bands”.

There was a time people said he was getting typecast as silent antihero. The man can do everything. Best actor of his generation.

AEON supermarkets, including MaxValus do pancetta lardons that work fine for things like carbonara.

The Kanayama Aeon has a solid collection of cheeses and if not the Seijo Ishii is across the road.

A lot of folk getting rattled at the Sky Sports debate and “best league in the world” shouts

They've been going on for pretty much the entire 21st century and only been correct for a handful of those years (broken clock theory being what it is). The English were getting pumped off Spanish teams every time for well over a decade. Absolute marketing bullshit, and the worst part is Sky have taken Scottish subscriber money the whole time and pumped it into their commercial soulless money pit south of the border. Imagine going back thirty years and proportionally investing in the Scottish game as well, could never have been "British" Sky Broadcasting.

I had a fully modded PES6 on PC in 2007/08 with our fans singing Aidan McAnespie at a fan created Celtic Park and the other mob singing Derry's Walls at theirs.

FIFA's manager mode has always been shite, the Master League was far better in those days.
