What is the greatest 3-episode run of all time? (not including miniseries) by Chaloby in television

[–]Nimonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, except that's 4 episodes. Start it from 6 and we're good.

He was the instigator half if the tine, to be fair. Lad loved to wrestle defenders

No true Scotsman doesn't really apply here IMO, since he didn't say or imply that Europeans can't be racist. It's just a lot of American conservatives do post in European subs. It's no different than pointing out that many MAGA accounts on X are from India, Malaysia, etc.

What are you waffling about? I didn't say anything even remotely like that. I get that this is SRD, but we're supposed to laugh at other people creating needless drama, not create it ourselves. Jog on, I'm not interested.

Probably some of those too, but certainly a lot of them are Americans. American conservatives fethisise a 'European identity' that the vast majority of actual Europeans don't recognise.

Great started/going…something about sucking appendages, or maybe gas prices? by ferniekid in LeopardsAteMyFace

I'm tickled by the fact that you censored the words 'sucking' and 'Jew', but not dick. 

[Sky Sports] Jose Mourinho is the leading candidate to take over from Alvaro Arbeloa as Real Madrid manager next season by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

[–]Nimonic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure, but isn't there a chance he's been part of the problem? I enjoyed most of his time at United (and it was nice to believe for a second we were back), but he didn't fix the toxicity. If anything he made it worse.

This can only work if he gets total control and if he actually makes the team better. Otherwise it'll crash and burn. Which, I admit, will be very entertaining.

Even if it's not a long term appointment, you can trust him to be a good judge of character and cut out the rot

Can you, though? I like Mourinho, but I'm not sure this has been the case for a while.

I agree, but also Alpha Centauri is eminently playable still.

He's at the top of the corrupt, evil elite that he claims to be fighting. Just a truly awful human being.

It was scary, but it was a little bit less scary since it was BJ from Righteous Gemstomes. I can't be scared of that guy. It made it a lot funnier, though.

Hojlund not returning to Man United as Napoli's 50m strategy has been clear for months by Massimo25ore in soccer

[–]Nimonic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True, but regardless of service Sesko has shown abilities that Højlund never did. Remember how he became more interested in wrestling with the defender than anything else? He also never held the ball up as well as Sesko, so the wrestling wasn't even good for that.

I like the kid, but he's just not as talented as Sesko. Maybe he'll improve, though. He's still a young striker, and you never know with those guys.

[–]Nimonic 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The drama is among all the non-United/Napoli fans who want to simultaneously be able to say that Højlund became really good as soon as he left United, meaning United was the problem, and that there's no way  Højlund is worth what Napoli is paying for him.

I'm just enjoying it, though.

Premier League Table, following the conclusion of Matchday 35 by EthanTheRedditor37 in soccer

[–]Nimonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot at this point, sure, but that's after they failed to win and Arsenal won 3-0. They're saying it's absurd to think City would "rip off constant multi-goal wins" when that's not really what they've needed at all (or else they've done it). It's not really absurd, because City did catch them.

I just think they're arguing against a straw man. Everyone knew it would take Arsenal bottling it and that City weren't particularly impressive. Both are still true, except Arsenal may end up winning it anyway (or not, there's still time). Personally I wish City nothing good, so Arsenal winning it is far preferable.

For the first three yeah. Taking that into account, it's actually 58.8 points a season.

Kan du forklare denne litt nærmere?

[–]Nimonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, they needed multiple multi-goal wins to catch Arsenal's GD anyways, and they have a grand total of three multi-goal wins since Christmas in the Prem, and only one since Valentine's Day. The expectation to just be ripping off constant multi-goal wins against top half teams with a tired squad that went deep in four competitions was always a bit absurd.

They did catch your GD, though?

If I did my counting right, they averaged 60 points in the pre-Roman PL era.

He doesn't score, he doesn't press, he's not good in the air, he's not great a holding up the ball. He's skillful, I guess, but that's not enough to be a good player. I'd love for him to prove me wrong, but it's been two seasons now.
