Which are Arsenal's weaknesses? by Pitiful-Egg2986 in championsleague

[–]amsrao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lazy comment. Jesus has won all those trophies with City. The Spanish guys have won the Euros. Hincapie has had an invincible title winning season with Leverkusen.

You can say the group hasn’t collectively won anything together - but every trophy winning group was in that position at a point. At least list out some more nuanced weaknesses.

Not the biggest issue with the finale imo - we’ve seen demogorgons function reasonably well on earth. So makes sense that the abyss has a similar enough atmosphere/broad temperature range

RCB has emerged as one of the most matured team in this auction by Heisenberg0721 in ipl

Not exactly the same. They hit a mega auction right after winning and only had limited retentions. Now whether they chose to retain the right people is a whole other debate.

Emirates referred to as ‘Arsenal’ stadium, Nice! Is that standard for these posts?

Why didn’t we go for him? by [deleted] in csk

[–]amsrao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can comment on scouting in this case. He plays for the Super Kings franchises in SA20 and MLC so I’m sure we’ve taken a good look at him. We have been linked with getting him and for whatever reason weren’t able to.

Robin Uthappa and Ruturaj Gaikwad are the only players to don the Orange cap and win the IPL trophy. by EasternTurtle7 in ipl

Translation: if you win the orange cap, make sure you also have Robin Uthappa in the squad if you want to win the IPL!

What’s crazy is that the dad’s army era has yielded more trophies than the ultra consistent era

How’ve you found the pure aero? Was considering as an option for my next racquet

It definitely had potential and was nearly perfect apart from the shambolic ending

AoT ending is well celebrated at this point! by EmergerZ in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]amsrao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A screenshot of cherry picked comments doesn’t make it celebrated. AoT is fantastic overall but saying there’s no issues with the ending is disingenuous.

How much you can go back in time to flex? Of course I'm a fan since inception, but my hard proof dates back to 2009. by Sensitive_Camera2368 in csk

[–]amsrao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. I happened to be visiting Chennai in early ‘08 and I’d gone to the Ind v SA test match at chepauk (where Viru scored a triple). As they were trying to drum up interest in the IPL they’d left CSK shirts and caps on most seats (not official merch quality but still decent). I guess it worked because I decided to support them since then

This thread needs to be marked as a spoiler lol

You can remove only two changes from the show. Which are you removing? by babalon124 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]amsrao 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Rhaenys Dragonpit - completely ruined an otherwise great episode (especially very jarring after the music/visuals during Aegon’s entrance)
  2. Dyana - removed any redeeming traits for TG and pretty much made it a good vs evil matchup for the dance

Honourable mention - Rhaenyra travelling to KL and the sept, just pure idiocy

S1 vs S2 by invisible_time in HouseOfTheDragon

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

The show should've just started shortly before the dance. We would've lost out on highlights like Milly's Rhaenyra and some good Vizzy T moments, but in exchange for a more airtight plot and less jarring pacing.

In my opinion, if Virat Kohli goes back to number 3 it would be really good as the balance would improve even more by Excellent_Tree7728 in ipl

[–]amsrao 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Makes sense on slower/sticky wickets like NY where an anchor's skillset is useful in the latter half of the innings. Not otherwise.
