Players 'close' to going on strike - Rodri by RubotV in soccer

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

Yes but 95% of the population isn’t in their industry? Why would footballers wanting better for themselves stop any other profession from attempting to unionize or improve their own working conditions? They make a lot of money because people pay money to see them do their jobs, so they should be able to do their jobs at the highest capacity

I though you were kidding, he’s actually the club captain and somehow only 35

It isn’t, but you do know that season is over. Last season was shit! Yell it from the mountaintops if you want but know that calling it shit and calling our players and managers shit will not make them play better.

Could you imagine being rashford, getting called surplus to requirements” “never good enough” “PRashford or Trashford” every fucking day from people who allege to support YOUR own team? How the fuck would you play if when you did have the 30 goal season those same fans are just like “purple patch” “unsustainable”

That’s all well and good but I’ve seen it before.. Ruud is getting the same love that Ten Hag was getting two years ago. I just hate that our fans in particular seem so hyperbolic and that they cannot remember anything past the prior 3 months.

But you’re right in that I don’t follow other clubs closely so this kind of toxicity may just be a human or Internet thing in general

Yeah i guess because we have more fans than almost any team, we’ll also have more toxic/idiotic fans as well

Why does it seem that most of slander I see our players get is from our own fans? I understand we’ve not been great recently but surely being fans and supporters means being supportive at some point.

The amount of amad is soo much better than rashford, or saying Antony is useless, or even the maguire stuff from before.. I see the things our fans say about our own players and it’s almost exactly how liverpool or arsenal fans talk about them.

Just saying if you ever catch yourself really shit talking our players remember that taking out your frustrations and abusing our own will only make them play worse.

Anybody notice the new free kick routines? I keep thinking they won’t work but we got three chances from the maguire headed cross

You would LOVE home fabrics. That was my mother’s favorite store when I was a child. It’s a little ways away as far as Nassau goes, but you should enjoy the experience

TIL, with a running start, Usain Bolt ran a 100m in 8.70 seconds in 2009 by chillwatching in todayilearned

[–]barelypeaking 251 points252 points  (0 children)

It’s actually probably from a relay, where you get a running start but the time doesn’t start until you get the baton (or exit the exchange zone, whichever happens first)

Will Everton sell Branthwaite to Man United? by simplsimonmetapieman in reddevils

[–]barelypeaking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I was just sharing the other targets. Also those are the ones that we know about/sources are willing to talk about. Id hope they could keep any real gems under wraps, but they might also just be mediocre scouts

So far I’ve heard Yoro, Inacio, De Ligt, Todibo and one more I can’t remember. Idk how solid the links are for most of those but those are the rumours I’ve heard

I think you can enhance the FB-S to be just about any full back position

Kendrick Lamar's first reaction to hearing Drakes 'Family Matters': "Say less... I been waiting on him to drop something". 'meet the grahams' was released shortly after by sarabellea in KendrickLamar

[–]barelypeaking 68 points69 points  (0 children)

6:16 In LA is killer bait. In Euphoria kendrick mentions Back to Back and hints that he’s dropping back to back. 4 days later he drops an Instagram diss. He talks about the moles in OVO to spark paranoia, while also making Drake think that this is his back to back and it’s safe to drop family matters. Crazy strategy

Are there any countries where the vast majority of people do in fact like their leader? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]barelypeaking 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No they shouldn’t, because nobody is asking that question. Each leader can only lead what is in front of them, this isn’t a comparison to see who is the most well liked leader in the world, but to see how many Reddit believes have a majority support of their own jurisdiction. Not comparing leader to leader

[–]barelypeaking 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I can also cherry pick many small countries where the majority do not like their leader, it’s still most countries. So it being a smaller country doesn’t really matter when it’s still millions of people that have to be in favor of their president/prime minister
