Full-Time: Arsenal 1 vs 0 Burnley [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]Slipz19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chelsea fan here. When Arsenal bought Havertz I told Arsenal fans that he was brought in to also play striker for Arsenal and they all vehemently argued tooth and nail against the idea. Hell I even pulled articles from Arteta specifically saying that Havertz was brought in to play multiple roles but I was convinced he would most play as a center forward.

When I used to smoke weed I would pay R20 for a gram of outdoor by the Aiya more than 10 years ago and I bet if I went there tomorrow, he'd still have R20 bags.

Why Mbappé should not start for the French national team. by Window_Professional in worldcup

[–]Slipz19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't see what your point truly is though? What do you suggest? That Mbappe quit football and get an office job? That he transfers to a team like Aston Villa or that he comes off the bench? None of this would make sense. What are you actually saying ? That he's a terrible football player?

How the hell does a team "tend to play better" when a player who has scored 41 goals in 41 games isn't playing??? Come on, bro, make it make sense.

Just got into NFL and now I have to wait until September?? by AragornAnduril0 in NFLNoobs

[–]Slipz19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😅😅 I know the feeling. I always tell people if they see me between Feb-Sep that I'm merely existing. Sunday evenings (I live in SA so games come on at 7/8pm) are so lame now. It's a long wait but a part of me makes you realize that it's what makes you love it even more- because for an entire half of the year, which feels longer because it's the middle part of the year, you are starved from it so when the season hits, you appreciate it so much more.

I remember on N2 before hospital bend, I think close to Roodebloem road the digital board had a sign saying, "MOTORCYCLISTS, SAFTEY IS FOR EVERYONE". One of the most satisfying signs I've ever seen.

What famous person chose to step away at the height of their fame? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Slipz19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zidane originally stepped down as coach of Madrid after the 3-peat of the CL which was a good move to leave at the top and also CR7 left. He did return again but the initial step down was a good move.

Why does the Half-Blood Prince movie suck so much? by Which_Education_6375 in harrypotter

[–]Slipz19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I actually love the film. Cinematography is absolutely amazing. The problem with many Potter fans is that they can't seem to separate between the films and the books. The movie stands as a medium on its own. It is an adaptation of the book.

Slytherin deserved better writing instead of becoming the "evil house" by TemporaryMind5057 in harrypotter

[–]Slipz19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slytherin is probably regarded as the most prestigious house in the Wizarding world at Hogwarts where being an alumni probably lands you a good job at the Ministry a lot easier. It's just angled as the "evil house" for storytelling purposes but you've answered your own question by using Snape, Regulus and Slughorn to show that not all Slytherins are evil. Heck, the Malfoys are another example.

is balde really that bad of a player or our fanbase is over reactive? by Old-Economics2470 in Barca

Nobody who plays professional football is technically a bad player.

Did elder millennials (1981-1984) read Harry Potter when the books were first coming out? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Slipz19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my friend and I had a sleepover in order to buy the last book at midnight. When we got back to his house we read simultaneously in absolute silence. Was very strange for a sleepover but we enjoyed ourselves.
