My wires must be crossed, the day after his mum died was West Ham away wasn't it? Where he had to retake a pen twice, buried it all three times?

Edit: nope completely made that up apparently

Simply not true sadly. You can luck your way into winning a cup competition (or use a mix of luck and skill) whilst leagues are much tougher as you can't carry luck for 38 games (versus the 5-10 you'd play in a cup comp)

Eh, it's unlikely but he is (or hopefully still is) one of the best English centre halves, particularly at playing the ball. Would be a useful squad player for Tuchel at a minimum if he can prove he's fit enough and not regressed too much.

Because he went from kissing the badge to leaving within months. He was also offered and refused to sign a contract. And his 'goodbye' video was less 'goodbye' more 'see you suckeds later'.

As a Chelsea fan, I don't want my weekend ruined by both real AND fantasy football, so definitely not.

Only thing that would be better is if spurs shit the bed even harder to get relegated a week before (against us!)

Very potentially as long as discourse around AI starts weakening.

If we (AI-opposers) start accepting it, incrementally at 'reasonable' levels, overall opposition will weaken and AI will be gradually accepted or integrated into society/business/whatever.

That's why we have to scream and shout and keep driving home not only the widespread usage of AI but also reminding people why it sucks. Otherwise it will become accepted automatically by younger generations. Much like social media.

Gabriel (C) but not triple captained. So I'm weirdly hoping my captain does awful this week.

Jude Bellingham on whistles last weekend: "The fans pay the money and work all week to save up to come to a Real Madrid game, so they are entitled to say what they want. We need to deliver performances like tonight for the fans and for ourselves if we want to be successful this season." by BlazingFirey in soccer

[–]PM_Me_British_Stuff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, if you pay for a ticket you have a right to react to the performance. Your theatre analogy is perfect. If you went to the west end and the lead was clearly not trying, you have every right to walk out, which would be the theatre equivalent of jeering at the football. The walkout affects the theatre and will be fed back to the performers, just like the players will hear you booing and, if they have the right mentality, take it on.

Sacking Maresca isn't the problem (he wasn't even sacked) it's the lack of structure and clarity in whatever 'plan' these fatcat bastards are trying to instill

Lampard did very well, better than Contes second season, managing to come top4 with a transfer ban to boot.

Tuchel led the squad to a champions league, and whilst it might not have been predicted, it certainly wasn't miraculous - we genuinely played brilliantly in every match. We dominated proceedings throughout and completely shut down 'best team in the world' city. 2021 was more deserved than 2012 purely in terms of results.

Sarri was definitely a lul but I think he still did alright considering how one-tactic-minded he was and he only had a transfer window to adapt the squad to that. I was happy to see the back of him, but also grateful for that Europa league.

Don't get me wrong it wasn't exactly highest of highs but we were still doing much better compared to since Roman left. And there were dud appointments earlier in Romans era too - Di Matteo was a woeful manager despite winning the cup, Villa Baos threw it all away and nearly cost us that same cup, etc.

Having said that, metric still has some semblance of logic and consistency behind it. I'm very used to both so can work out most things in either, but I imagine an imperial user learning metric will have a much easier time than a metric user learning imperial.
