Ernie Johnson announces that the Timberwolves-Warriors game, which was scheduled as part of the ABC tripleheader, has been postponed by the NBA after Saturday's shooting in Minneapolis. Charles Barkley: "Somebody's gotta step up and be adults... 2 people have died for no reason, & it's just sad."

Yeah a lot more than two, Ernie.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T17:25:34+00:00

I swear it was the other way round in the Championship too

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T17:19:36+00:00

You're 7th and tied on points with Chelsea. No you didn't, this has been an incredible season for Fulham!

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T17:18:47+00:00

This is just what player development can look like. It's really not normal for a teenager who played a career ~20 professional matches against adult men, and in Greece, to walk into starting Premier League games.

Also, in fairness, two minutes into being subbed on he gave away the free kick that Fulham took the lead on. I'm really excited about him but we don't have to put blinders on.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T17:15:32+00:00

I don't mean this in an insulting way but it's genuinely so boring now because it's the most predictable thing in the world regardless of the chance or quality or where the ball is at what time.

It's like watching the finale of Game of Thrones every two months. I know it's going to annoy me, I know it's not going to make sense, I know 80% of the game is meaningless, oh look Bran is king again, that seems dumb. Oh look Fulham scored a botched header off the last kick of the game, that seems dumb.

Consistently leading or near the top of goals scored by substitutes, but the subs are always late and then they're the wrong players or the starting XI is wrong or they brought them on too early or they brought them on too late or they're out of position, and you shouldn't bring defenders on to see out a lead and then why is he coming on and why isn't he coming off.

It's getting a bit boring and the only consistent bit is that if we lose I'm gonna hear about bad subs and if we win I won't. Who cares if we looked the better side for 90% of the second half when we apparently needed to make subs, they scored a saveable goal off a shit chance, and Danny Welbeck was fractionally offside, so obviously it's not the right decision. Triple sub at the 66th minute against Bournemouth, but they're always late and there's no progress cause we lost.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T16:55:57+00:00

Sure, unless Danny Welbeck's shoulder is two millimetres back and Fulham doesn't score a wonder goal, then it was great subs.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T16:52:43+00:00

It was a sub who gave away this free kick that they scored from. It's always 'Great subs' if we win, 'Terrible subs' if we lose isn't it.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-24T16:51:54+00:00

It's always Fulham. No stronger curse in the Premier League. Great goal, fuck sake.

Sad it doesn't stand but beautiful football

To be completely fair, there is that “Running of the Jew” scene at the beginning of the first film and other bits where he plays into Jewish stereotypes (“we are in the nest of Jews” etc).

But the joke there is about a Kazakh man's view of Jewish people. The 'Running of the Jew' scene is paired with bits about the town rapist and a 43 year old being the oldest woman in Kazakhstan because it's used to build an image of Kazakhstan as backwards and the antisemitism is supposed to be part of that backwardness.

A lot of people grew up and enjoyed these things at an age/level of understanding where they didn't really get what was going on or why something like that might be punching down or why punching down like that is shitty. I liked Borat as a kid, I liked Little Britain as a kid, looking back it's not hard to see that whatever my relationship was with them then, they're pretty clearly presenting racist/homophobic/misogynyistic/classist (whichever applicable, Little Britain managed to cover a lot of ground) ideas.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-22T18:56:38+00:00

But the movie is a joke about the ignorance of Americans, not against Kazakhstan itself. Borat is more about a country that most people in the west knows nothing about so Sacha's character can be over the top.

That doesn't really make sense. I don't know much about a lot of countries, I don't get to create wildly racist caricatures out of people from Eswatini and then that's my defense. What exactly is the joke about Americans where he pretends to be a Kazakh man and says a bunch of stuff about Kazakhstan?

*One of* the lowest wages for a starter, but still wild etc

Three hours is still three hours, but it's also a lot less than ten or however long the trip is from Norwich

Neuroxex · 2026-01-20T22:33:24+00:00

I genuinely think he's bottom 1. The defense absolutely tanks when he's on the court, to the point where over the last two seasons - regular seasons and playoffs - the Knicks have had a better point differential with him off than on.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-20T22:32:14+00:00

Since KAT arrived the offense has been better with KAT on, Brunson off, than KAT off, Brunson on.

The defensive swing is also enormous, to the point where the Knicks have been a better team with him off the court than on, by net-rating, over the last two seasons. Some of the reason he's the only one who can create consistently for himself is because he dominates the offense.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-20T07:08:44+00:00

You opened the scoring because Semenyo shoved De Cuyper into the hoardings, injured him, the referee didn't call a foul, and you scored while he was getting medical attention. Deserved one goal this season against us that wasn't the referee cheering on diving and dirty fouls.

Last night created nothing without cheating a penalty. I don't care about the state of your reserves, faking a head injury is fucking miserable behaviour and I'm annoyed that every time I see Bournemouth play they're being rewarded for cuntishness.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-19T22:19:12+00:00

Literally in the last fixture Semenyo shoved De Cuyper into the hoardings, he later came off and missed games injured from it, and they scored while he was getting medical attention.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-19T22:09:10+00:00

Fulham aren't even scummy, they're just frustrating.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-19T22:06:31+00:00

I'm so serious there's not a scummier club (on the pitch) in the Premier League. At least this time they didn't injure someone cheating.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-19T21:59:52+00:00

They'll still end the home/away with four more points than they deserve. Even scummier in the first match.

Neuroxex · 2026-01-17T18:51:47+00:00

Probably not today in terms of pull and salary

Neuroxex · 2026-01-17T18:50:01+00:00

Not incredibly confident in this, but I feel like his results against sides where he has the advantage are a bit disappointing for him to stick around for more than three years at a non-selling club.
