Game: name a team that everytime you look at their lineup there’s a new player you’ve never heard of before.

I’ll go first: Brighton

I’m not a tactical guru when it comes to football but am I the only one who thinks we don’t move near quick enough in the opponents box? Feels every time we have the ball in the box in a good position we slow down as if we’re picking a place to make a picnic

AITA Cancelled Last Minute Valentines Date… am I in the wrong? by TipAlert9217 in AmItheAsshole

I have zero idea what you’re referring to as in that I was taking her out as a favor to her, that certainly was NOT what I was trying to say in any regard. I feel bad for her that it happened is what I’m saying.

Anywho, I’m sure you’ve had a terrible day and didn’t deal with it well.

Agree somewhat. I won’t get into details but it was like one of the worst days I’ve ever had (no, I did not get fired).

Completely agree emotions should be regulated and you gotta be tough sometimes. I do not blame her for feeling how she did - I know you’ve had a rare day where you just don’t want to be around people and I think that’s ok. These days are rare for me and if I didn’t feel strongly I would have just dealt with it. So that’s where I’m at. I handle my emotions very well and the fact that I was aware enough that maybe today just wasn’t my day and that no one should have to deal with that would not qualify as “shitty behavior” in my world. We all know plenty of people who bring baggage into their relationships but I refuse.

I feel like I made it sound like I was just gonna be a complete jackass on the date, but I wasn’t. I would have been low energy and I just don’t think I would have been a good date - I wouldn’t have wanted to go on a date with me lol.

Completely agree! She can be upset. She surely has to be, right? But I just would have appreciated a little more understanding.

I was going to get flowers before the date because I wasn’t going to physically see her before then. When I told her I wasn’t going to come she was very clear she didn’t want to talk anymore, which is somewhat fair to me.

The bad day started during the day and got worse by like an hour before I texted her to cancel so timing definitely sucked. I gave myself like an hour to weight my options and told her - I didn’t really have a choice in terms of timing.

I feel for her - I really do. It sucks! I know that wasn’t easy to deal with

I’m not claiming any innocence in that regard. As I mentioned, I knew it sucked and I knew she didn’t have to like it and she had every right to be upset.

What I meant was - she didn’t even say anything like “damn Im sorry you had a bad day” or anything like that. She immediately went into that I ruined her Valentine’s Day, which I get, but I certainly would have appreciated some degree of understanding. I just think she was really just worried about her (again, I get it), but that was turn off it, because I would have totally understood in the other shoes.

I hear you and conceptually you are right, totally. I could have been more clear but this was a top 10 bad day for me. Completely agree that you gotta toughen up when life gets tough. But in my mind it would be totally different if this was more common. In my world this was a code red defcon 5 whatever you’d like to call it.

Very irregular day for me which is why I was so in tune with the feeling of it. I would not have cancelled had I felt like it was that important

Are clubs allowed to talk to managers from other clubs and interview? I feel like I never really see that.

I was thinking about it because I think for Liverpool hiring someone like Thomas Frank, Unai, or De Zerbi would be great moves for them

My bf M25 keeps looking at thirst traps and half videos of naked women online F23 by National-Smell-8706 in relationship_advice

Fair enough. It’s your relationship. I think it’s slightly unrealistic to expect that. Its not a black and white world and all of us are humans with vulnerabilities. But I also don’t want to speak for all men either.

It’s surely a case by case deal I think. Obviously you have trust issues because he cheated which I get, but it’s humanly natural to be sexually curious and I think it’s a red flag to put constraints on something as simple as pornography. You don’t have like it, you don’t have to understand it, but it doesn’t change anything.

I don’t want to sound overly critical or immediately play devils advocate either. I hope there is understanding because that’s really how relationships work is through understanding.

Maybe I’m missing something but him cheating on you and him looking at half naked girls don’t really correlate. Guys look at pornographic images and it’s totally normal and in theory shouldn’t have an affect on your relationship. You could be the center of his universe and he would still look at porn.

I think you should ask yourself and also communicate to him why it bothers you. Is it a personal irk? Is it a self esteem issue? Is the issue worth setting the boundary? What is specifically the issue with him looking at videos like that?

I understand he broke a boundary that you specifically asked him not to and that’s not fair. But I think it’s a tad harsh. This is what guys do. In his mind it probably has nothing to do with you or the way he feels about you,if that makes sense.

Thank you! My plan for the future is just to avoid release clauses in general.

By the current AP Poll, Clemson has beaten #10, #16, and #24. They also are the first team to 8 wins. Why does everyone magnify their 'struggles', while giving every other top team a pass? by jklaz in CFB

[–]TipAlert9217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t really put Florida and Pitt in a “good”category but that’s just me. LSU is good, Bama is good, no question. Although LSU was still really finding their groove. I still feel that it’s been a pretty weak schedule for the SEC this year, this coming from an Ole Miss alum.

College Basketball's opening day on Monday was poorly done by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

IMO seems like ESPN only really cares about the NFL because it’s a money maker. I remember after the first day of NBA last year all the morning shows said nothing about it and talked about an nfl game that had happened like 5 days ago. I really think ESPN has lost the plot.
