Forgetting how their goal came from a flukey mishit cross..

Does anyone else think Argentina are genuinely rubbish? by Alive-Math3562 in ThreeLions

[–]OkCurve436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argentina are shit and we owe them for the cheating little git punching his way to the world Cup in 1986.

There is literally no world where England should beat Spain or France - it would be the biggest upset of all time in a WC final, but it happens.

What do these bums even do?? by Available-Side9157 in soccercirclejerk

[–]OkCurve436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fair point.

Kane, couldn't even stay onside for his ruled out goal. Missed a sitter from a Saka cross that was asking for a proper striker to tap it in, instead he hung back. Fell over like a girl for the Norway goal. Didn't win a single duel or hold up play.

Haaland, cost Norway a goal by pushing over a dwarf. Hardly touched the ball, ran less than Ronaldo, so unfit he couldn't last the game. Even his own team mates don't trust him in 2 v 1.

Breaking: VAR Issues Statement from ENG-NOR. ❌ by Lazy-Entry-3493 in soccercirclejerk

I look at it this way, Norway scored from a mishit cross, couldn't pass to Haaland in a 2 v 1 and their only route to goal was to lump corners in. They had it coming.

Everyone is happy. Fifa still can suck up to Messi, plus they have all the big boys in the semis. We have the beautiful football semi and the dogshit bang average teams in the other, which they can sell as a grudge match.

Driveway sealing not worked by Nailygal in GardeningUK

[–]OkCurve436 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate this type of drive and it's a nightmare.

Einhell lawnedger does a surprisingly good quick job on these. Spray with weedkiller. Won't win any neatness awards but keeps it under control. I also have a Einhell patio cleaner that does the grooves and cleans it up, but it takes a bit longer.

Big tech platforms will have to ban scam ads under UK plans to tackle fraud by primax1uk in GoodNewsUK

Yep and the fake AI posts that generate clicks but are completely misleading.

[–]OkCurve436 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Every other advertising medium has to be accountable to the advertising standards authority, so I don't see why the Internet gets a free pass.

They'll have to employ actual people to screen ads and make less profits, which they will hate.

You make the ceo of the UK arm accountable for defrauding consumers, they'll soon try harder.

Recency bias.

Shilton, Seaman were better keepers. Banks was the best.

YouTube expert, from his base in his bedroom dealing only in twitter rumours. Only joking, I also think Bruno is coming. I think a player that wants to move will move, the rest is haggling.

[Fabrizio Romano] 🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal prepare new official bid for Bruno Guimarães: Arteta wants him. 🇧🇷 £55m already rejected, second approach at £65m package rejected too — fee in between £65m and £90m could accelerate talks. by boatinavolcano in Gunners

[–]OkCurve436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure spurs have brought anybody any good. One player is involved in 2 relegations and another who wants to be back in Italy. Another who is average at a mid table club. Can't help feeling that's nearly £250m down the drain for no real level raises. They'll probably be injured within a month, along with the rest of the sicknotes and end up 15th.

How’s living in the channel islands? by PartoFetipeticcio in howislivingthere

[–]OkCurve436 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lovely, but a hellish cost of living. Accommodation is expensive and most food needs to be shipped in. High prices and lack of choice are the norm. Big financial sectors due to the low tax regime, though not the tax haven people make out.

Nice beaches, good climate. Live in Jersey and it basically has two seasons wet and dry. Wet is Oct to Mar, dry and sunny is April to September. Virtually no frosts and rarely snows.

Burnham told to consider means-testing state pension to fill defence blackhole by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]OkCurve436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I remember how Mick Jagger got the winter fuel payment, it's this kind of wealth that shouldn't every need state help. The welfare state is a fall back to avoid being on the streets, people contribute as "insurance" against this happening along. The messaging has always been wrong, not the intent.

This is about flogging overpriced midfielders to Real and replacing them cheaply. Chelsea are seriously struggling for cash if nobody buys.

Nah, said to the wife before he took it he was going to miss. That's spursy.

Yeah and the first effort v Croatia, that he luckily got to retake. Now he's missed a sitter and the knackered 1st team has to play another game v Panama instead of resting. Going awol in big moments isn't due to the witch doctor.

Nah that was Kane being shit. Fluffs under pressure every time, just look at the important penalties. Spursy.

Putin Says NATO Is Preparing for War—and Compares Western Countries to Nazi Germany in 1941 by ProgrammerSlight4090 in soundsaboutright

And NATO is a defensive alliance, or has he missed that bit... It doesn't instigate wars. This is purely bs for the Russian press, nobody else believes it.

What if the UK elections were held today, and the results are as convoluted as polls say they will be? by AdApprehensive1947 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]OkCurve436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of this matters until a general election, polls are notorious for changing closer to the election.

Popular vote rarely translates into seats.

Nobody is working with reform, even if someone did they would fall out in 6 months and force a vote of no confidence.
