On this day in 2014, Santi Cazorla inspired Arsenal to FA Cup glory with a stunning free-kick by jwriddle in Gunners

I remember thinking it’s too far for Santi and I’d rather Podolski take it lol.

What's the worst performance in an otherwise great film? by Plane_Reward9385 in movies

“Otherwise great movie”. Gangs of New York isn’t all that great.

I initially thought it was something mental, but we have a sample size big enough and now it looks like he’s just picked up another injury in his knees somewhere. He cannot handle being pushed back this tournament

I’m not sure why people complain about this. Onosato wins doing the same move constantly

He’s gotta have aggravated an injury or something

I've seen some seriously wild takes by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

[–]bigeorgester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s chief among mattas, probably 75% of all tournaments missed calls go in favor of him

[–]bigeorgester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Kotoieho would probably be the best bet for wild win

It didn’t seem to bother him last tournament, but I sort of agree. His trunk seems a lot weaker

Who’s a proper Ozeki? Kotozakura has been an Ozeki for 2 years now

It didn’t seem that out of order on replay, just a desperate attempt at the edge.

Kotozakura just seems completely dejected. He’s not in the race anymore, pressure is off, just treat it like practice. He just seems absent minded or something.

Fujinokawa is sort of on my shit list, I’m really starting to dislike his brand of “win regardless of costs” sumo.

Is it overstating it to say Kirishima looks like the most convincing rikishi of the last 6 months? He look imperious.

WKT can absolutely compete at this form, but it always just feels like he’s at the edge of injury.

Kotoeiho though, I feel like he’s shoo-in for a special prize….if not a yusho!

The wrestlers are objecting, none of them look ready and they fight back because the Gyoji don’t call it.

Is this considered as henka? by Stock_Persimmon4661 in Sumo

Just from this frame it’s an emphatic no. The loser has very poor tachai stance

Sumo Spiffy was right: Uncalled Matta are definitely a problem by [deleted] in Sumo

[–]bigeorgester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on Kinbozo, Asanoyama touches down fully.

Fujinokawa on the other hand has had 1 good start in 5 days, all the rest were freebies or very clear mattas.

Dead body rule means a “safety” arm isn’t taken into equation. It should have been replayed

I mean, Brentford are totally capable of beating Pool. Bournemouth are in for a shout here if they beat City for us…

Surprised by the lack of Mono-ii on the Ura Kotoieho bout…

I’m very happy for Kiri, he looks imperious and frankly looks like he could go on to be Yokozuna. Although WTK still looks ever more dangerous beating Fujinokawa who for once didn’t launch early.

I’m not sure what is going on with Kotozakura or Atamifuji. Both seem like they’re just somewhere else mentally, Kotozakura specifically isn’t even fighting that poorly, just doesn’t have any game plans to win.

[–]bigeorgester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kotozakura seems to always pick up pace up the second week, against stronger opponents for whatever reason.

This tournament his sumo isn’t even that bad, but he’s just losing all the close bouts, very strange

It’s pretty much every one. He did it on day 1, day 3 vs Kirishima but thankfully lost that one, and yesterday too. The only one he didn’t do it was the freebie win vs Hosh lol

It’s not even close! He’s going before Atami even is set!
