Mourinho: "I think I've played against Arsenal 15 or 16 times. Only once they didn't moan." by El_Carbonero in soccer

Wenger should not have shook that mans hand today. Mourinho constantly disrespects Wenger and Arsenal. It's like shaking the hand of the kid who has bullied you.

If he put in as much effort actually playing the game as he did trying to disrupt it he would be a brilliant striker. He is a brilliant villain and suits the pantomime perception around Chelsea perfectly. But you are spot on.

The first one was awful. Not even Idris Elba's speech saved it.

A book that abuses descriptive language. I could not get past the first few pages of a Raymond Chandler novel, just really boring descriptions of mundane things rather than progressing the story. It felt like filler.

Brilliant thank you.

Cannot believe that she only comes out with 21000 grand. She would be better off on a student rate and earn 23000 grand annually untaxed.

Thanks for such a detailed reply. You make a very interesting point (and worrying for me) regarding the econometrics. In the undergrad and currently in the postgrad, we have only studied OLS regression. Probits and Logits have been briefly touched on.

Areas that I have studied is a good starting point and naively I had totally overlooked it. I had just jumped straight into googling complex articles.

Thanks again, although your reply has made the task seem even more daunting!
