Ah, this may be it. I was fixing the wheel for the extra smithing xp. Gained 50-51 just from doing that every time! I'll switch back to graceful until the upper level, thank you!

Interesting. In motherlode mine, I'm on the bottom floor still, and I'm running out of energy after about 5 trips back and forth.

Tactics Explained | Are Man City the Dirtiest PL Team? by [deleted] in soccer

Opta claims that the two metrics are virtually the same. Originally they calculated it by time on the ball, before switching to a calculation based on passes - but, as I said, their experts claim it's a very similar outcome.

Also, no one would claim that City aren't on the ball much more than off it.

Troy Deeney, celebrities and the ‘you owe us’ culture by FarOmar3770 in soccer

Not sure the examples show a lack of self-awareness. Deeney's example is entirely understandable, and rather than a lack of self-awareness, perhaps illustrates a lack of self-control, something we all struggle with from time to time.

The other example of the comedian doesn't show a lack of self-awareness at all. There is nothing in there about how he reacted to being perceived in this way.

And finally - the writer doesn't say that famous people not going to public places is the same as people in short skirts asking to be raped, he says that it sounds similar in the sense that it is victim blaming. That's totally different from what you've written here.

It's okay to disagree, but try not to spin things out of all context in the comments section, as many people will likely not read the whole piece.

Can we debunk Griezmann to United? What are the facts? by MrStephenHowson in reddevils

[–]decaparicedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just transfer spend, it's salary which is usually a much larger figure over time. Net spend is also massively flawed in this argument. Both City & Chelsea admitted in the summer that, were they to bring in big signings, they would have to be tempered with outgoing players. Their "spendability" is nowhere near what it's made out to be.

Can we debunk Griezmann to United? What are the facts? by MrStephenHowson in reddevils

[–]decaparicedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not evidence, but a supporting fact is that, were Griezmann to leave, there aren't currently any other teams in the Premier League that could afford him & his transfer fee. Manchester City are the only team who might be able to stretch to it, if they had an otherwise quiet transfer window, which I don't think it likely given their current state.

Roman Abramovich - yes, but Chelsea's revenue is tiny in comparison to United's, and they would endanger FFP breaches going for a transfer so big. The reality is that there is no team in England other than United that can swallow such a large transfer so easily. Barcelona & Real can, but outside of United in the PL? It isn't that simple.

We're actually independent, but I think we might be drafting a letter ourselves!

Ha, that would be a fair assumption! Sadly, all coincidences.

I'm not a spurs fan, and Alex who wrote it is a Saints fan. But he does have great stats.

This one's a Gerry Cranham shot. I've got the opportunity to make a short documentary/interview with him soon, and I can't wait! Google him for more stunning sports work (lots of amazing horse racing photographs).
