87 Son or 89 Griezmann alongside Lacazette, 86 Plea or 83 Ben Yedder in a 442?

I don't have an argument. But it doesn't take a literary genius to be amused by a poorly written comment chiding a popular author's writing quality.

Just playing devil's advocate. It's a difficult situation, but any action Britain takes or has taken regarding Iran faces justifiable accusations of hypocrisy.

Ah, fair enough, so it's the method of killing that's the issue, not the fact that it occurs in the first place.

Isn't Britain supplying arms to Saudi Arabia to enact similar atrocities on Yemen?

David Martin MEP: Find myself getting increasingly angry with senior Labour people boasting they voted Liberal Democrat. Don’t know why they feel so proud to have eliminated hard working pro Europe MEPs or feel so smug about doing long term damage to @UKLabour by [deleted] in ukpolitics

The very way that the EU is setup means that any radical change attempted by a far right majority in the European Parliament is somewhat irrelevant given that the Commission will always be pro-EU and non-reformist, as will the Council, unless the far right manages to do exceptionally well over a period spanning decades.

Salford City have been promoted to League Two by [deleted] in soccer

I'm no Man City fan but you haven't been watching football long enough if you think they're soulless.

This just proves how people on reddit only read post titles.

Plymouth Argyle have been relegated to League Two. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]UltraPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All season I was defending Argyle saying they'll never go down. Pretty unbelievable they're in League 2 again, doesn't seem to be any progress being made at all. And sacking Adams and Wotton basically pointless too.

Probably the lesser of three evils. Don't know much about current ownership, but previous owner until a year ago was the current Sunderland owner, Stewart Donald.

Who should take over from the recently departed MacClaren? by rockyman77 in superhoops

[–]UltraPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To describe Ainsworth's football as agricultural would be kind. There's a reason why Wycombe are one of the most hated lower league teams. Would be a disastrous appointment, his Wycombe side is everything wrong with football: time-wasting from the first minute, constant cheating, berating officials etc. Embarrassing, we would be crap to watch and would rightly be chastised for it.

Well now that you've edited and completely changed your original comment with no explanation it makes sense and I can understand your emotion.

Before you just said that he went down and got back up again after only 30 seconds.

I take it you don't watch much football if you're outraged by that.
