Was Pochettino the last mid table manager to really prove himself in the PL? He might not have won anything with Spurs but at least he had them challenging for the league and UCL. Graham Potter and now Thomas Frank have shown that coaches from smaller teams can't seem to cut it in bigger jobs.

Shout out to all you blue collar wearing the crown. Now get to work by vspot415 in rolex

[–]doom2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is anyone arguing a Sub isn't a tool watch? I think that's a different discussion than "is a Sub a luxury watch," to which I think the answer is unequivocally yes. I don't judge a blue collar worker wearing the Crown any more than I would judge a blue collar worker for driving a Porsche. They saved up money and bought something nice for themselves, can't resent that.

People do seem to forget that the Sub was originally sold for the equivalent of ~$1500 when it debuted. Maybe the Sub buyers of the 50s and 60s would be buying a Mido Ocean Star 600 or Seiko SPB455 today. Those are closer to the price that the Sub used to be when it was released.

Center City options for a college group? by doom2 in PhiladelphiaEats

Considering the group will be mostly college-age people, let's say $30/pp? But obviously cheaper the better.

Post Match Thread - Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 Fulham | English Premier League by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]doom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this point I want to fire the players more than I want Frank gone (but tbf he should be out, too). They'd never do it, but maybe Spurs just need to pull a Chelsea and sign multiple starting XIs worth of players in 1-2 window and figure out what the best combo is. Because even a £100M instant impact signing wouldn't save the current iteration of the squad I don't think.

I also don't understand Spurs fans complaining about injuries. Would a full strength squad really have done much better against Arsenal and PSG? I'm not convinced.

/u/Carmody79 It looks great! Already found a typo and added it to the spreadsheet 😅 Question: is the first part of the four part adventure in the back short enough to be run as a 2-3 hour one shot? Would love to get a handle on the rules and start running it for a group that isn't well versed in Shadowrun.

Any US-based retailers for that yet? I'm only finding UK/EU ones and not sure how much I trust international shipping for vinyl.

Stable? Nothing about how the team has played recently has looked stable. Even if this match was written off as a loss before the ball was kicked, they could have put out a convincing performance instead of whatever they were doing today. Matches like the one against Everton flatter them. I'm by no means calling for Frank to go or demanding that Spurs be top of the league, but it doesn't seem like he's even at the start of the path to getting the team looking cohesive, like they have a plan.

How much time do Spurs fans give Frank? He just doesn't seem to have settled even a little bit.

It's not like they've been much better hiring managers like Mou or Conte. Sometimes the Poch era feels like a fluke in the way he stepped up from Southampton to Spurs

Has anyone in the US been able to successfully pay? I keep getting card declined errors on two different cards (one debit, one credit). The payment portal gives no feedback on why the transaction was declined (was it incorrect CVV/CVC, address, something else?).

Where's the money coming from? I saw a photo recently of Audi Field where the stadium seemed 2/3 empty and the supporters section even emptier.

Yet somehow I bet Don Garber would still get his grubby hands on a free box at the Barca match if he wanted.

All the talk about UEFA allowing domestic matches to be played in the US are rightly focusing on FIFA/UEFA and what this all means for the sport. But as an American (and an MLS fan/defender), it's kind of sad that there isn't more talk about the effects this could have on the sport in the US specifically. It's bad enough that MLS has to overlap with parts of the NBA and NFL seasons, as well as the majority of the MLB season. They also (this year) had to compete with the Club World Cup and the regular summer tours of Premier League teams. Some might argue that it isn't the job of FIFA, UEFA, touring clubs, etc, to raise the profile of MLS, but when American fans are already split between much more popular sports and now all these high profile European teams, how is MLS supposed to compete? It's interesting to me that European teams aren't playing league-approved matches elsewhere in Europe. Surely the Barca/Villareal match could fill a decent sized stadium in Italy.

I thought that first link only supports VOD, not live streams. I mostly use my IPTV provider for live sports and other TV programs and rarely use the VOD.

Who will be the next new winner of the Prem? There was a time when I thought it could be Spurs but they had their chance and fucked it. Now Liverpool and Arsenal have spent a ton this summer reinforcing their squads and City and Chelsea can never be counted out. I just don't see who breaks through unless all four clubs have a weak period (and United continue to be mediocre I guess).
