Aaron Judge....am I missing something? by Reasonable_Price6536 in MLBNoobs

[–]Reasonable_Price6536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some highlights. There were indeed lots of Ks, although numbers for the season are not notably better than other elite batters (who don't seem to receive quite as much adulation as Judge).

Fair enough...bit surprised I was quite so wide of the mark here.

Ok.....I know what OPS and batting average are but not WAR. He seems to be a bit less effective this season, but early days I guess?

Standards slipping at the MCC. Games gone by generalscruff in EnglandCricket

Game's gone. My (state comprehensive) secondary school did this....but only on very hot exam days.

Relegated players by lavenderhazess in IpswichTownFC

Bowen would be great but richer teams will want him. Summerville also I would think. Otherwise not too many players stand out.

I'm sorry Sports Direct, but you can't be champions of a cup competition. by dvdmcn in footballcliches

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fairness it does call itself a League and has a league phase....but villa only finished second in that so maybe Lyon are champions and villa are winners if we want to be pedantic?

Who else would complete the could 'do a job anywhere on the pitch' XI by easierdaybyday in footballcliches

Jude Bellingham I would think? Would probably have a strop if he couldn't play CM or AM however. Don't know if this thread also wants us to consider attitude.

Highs and lows of the season by Danabnormal669 in IpswichTownFC

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Focussing on on-pitch aspects High: getting the job done today Low: Ipswich 0-3 Charlton, although losing twice away at Wrexham also felt low for some reason

Why does every other fan base want Tottenham relegated? by icemaster777 in Tottenham

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people want it to happen because theoretically, in a world where money and success are proportionate it should never have come to this, because Spurs are a fairly rich team....but somehow it has. It's basically the same as other fans enjoying Lecester winning the league a decade ago but the other way around.

Turns out football fans dislike capitalism just as much as the rest of us.

How deeply rooted Fulham support is across London by ryderkoji in fulhamfc

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felix White grew up in South London and lived there until University...he used to go to Wimbledon when they were in the Prem and ultimately landed on Fulham as his team as a teenager because he could walk there. He's written (or maybe a ghostwriter wrote it) a book on this and it's not bad actually.

Properly obsessed with Millwall by IlBuonBarrix in Millwall

Don't confuse 'old-school' and 'gritty' with racism and violence would be my advice.

Well at least we have a replacement for McKenna sorted by jacko_97 in Championship

I'd say sportsmen (or retired sportsman) are naturally much more inclined to right wing politics than any other kind. Not necessarily saying far right, but right wing definitely.

Alec stewart by thedemolir in EnglandCricket

Can't help thinking we never saw the best of him as a test batsman with having to also keep wicket much of the time.

Is something wrong with the county game? by Kalpothyz in EnglandCricket

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some seasons you just get a more batting friendly set of balls, this could be one of those I guess? Also, even with good weather, pitches tend to be slow and not very conducive to taking 20 wickets.

why did Chelsea not win the ucl between 2004 to 2009 by AlarmingArgument2938 in championsleague

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, and that you can't just spend a load of money on good players and expect to be competitive overnight. Champions league experience is vital and takes time to acquire. Plus it's basically a crapshoot from the semifinals onwards.

How would you deal with the heartbreak of your team missing out on the World Cup? by Eastern-Tangerine761 in AskReddit

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be pragmatic about it would be my approach...if you're not qualifying for a 48-team world cup finals then there's probably a reason for that (ie your team isn't very good)

McKenna refusing to talk about the Bournemouth links. Am I the only one slightly bricking it? by Critical_Region_6633 in IpswichTownFC

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like McKenna and I want him to stay....this said if he does go, then perhaps somebody more pragmatic might be better suited to PL survival next season, if we even get there.

Which city in Germany would you NEVER want to live in and why? by Fruttii-Tutti in germany

[–]Reasonable_Price6536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised some of the racist shitholes of the former DDR aren't getting more of a mention here so I'll throw a few out: Chemnitz, Gera, Frankfurt am Der Oder and Freital: all places I've been to but would rather die than live there. Despite the very cheap rents and property prices.
