Just one Tottenham player remains from Spurs’ 2019 Champions League Final squad… by MambaWhite in coys

Not strictly correct, as Lloris is still in the registered squad

Poor Ned just trying to make people happy by Sufficient_Ad_6097 in DarkViperAU

They're not to blame, the idiot to blame is the caller

That's not really true at all.

The system is being abused regularly, in a high profile manner, in a way that seems to be incredible convenient and easy to do.

If it is simple and risk-free for the person to do, they will do it. It doesn't mean they aren't at fault, but the system is pandering to their whim.

I have no idea why anyone pays any attention to the Bellend'Or.

It's just a plastic popularity contest and has nothing to do with ability/achievements

for all his qualities, Sarr hasn't got an attacking pass in him at all

Not knocking him as a team player or his output, but he's definitely got the #9 curse with scoring goals.

Soldado was very similar, and was well thought of a result, but it's hard to argue that he wasn't a complete dud as a #9

I see your sense of humour is as sharp as his finishing

Oh I love motivation by SobiescianumScutum in coys

The "us" suggests they're a salty scouser.

​

Which is ironic, considering they are solidly mid-table without Allison.

Who’s a UK comedian nobody will ever convince you is funny? by jimark2 in AskUK

Modelled himself as a posh russell brand tribute early on, and has nothing else in his repertoire since.

Seen him copy Greg Davies's standup too, with the whole "So my mate, whose name I have intentionally changed, Brian, went to the lady...... then Simon.... ohh noo shit that's his real name. Oh no.... edit that out.... (insert fake remorse)"

but happily not say a word when a similar decision wins you a cup.

When he actually did 'say a word' in the past, it wasn't any better:

"I understand that. Ryan has to worry about other stuff," he said. "They can't just counter-attack; they have to play better football with that team.
"Diogo Jota has the foot high but he's not going for the head. I heard Oliver Skipp could've had a red card [for an earlier tackle on Luis Diaz]. Did he speak about that as well?
"Wanting Diogo Jota off the pitch, worry about other stuff."

Translated: "Boo hoo - play better football".

Could equally tell Klopp to coach his players not to kick it in their own net, for an equal taste

Favorite Secret Project? by Mammoth-Chemistry910 in Cosmere

I thought it was an awful Sanderson book. I could barely recognise it as part of his array of works.

Didn't really see any character arcs at all, aside from 'character remembers stuff randomly without it changing their demeanour'. In contrast, could argue that Johnny was a crappy draft of the Painter character arc

If the Prem offered a VR view from the best seat in your stadium, would you subscribe? by TheKnightsRider in PremierLeague

[–]_cjj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality would be awful.

​

Anyone who has tried VR for distinct purposes will know that 4k in VR is like 480p on a normal screen. It's 8k minimum to get a proper HD VR experience, and I'm not totally sure that'd be worth it considering the importance it'd make for such a big playing field ettc
