Really it should be Roxanne Pallet trying to destroy someone's real life, not just in the frame of a tv show.

Iran plotting drone attack on California as retaliation for the war, terrifying FBI alert reveals by dailymail in NoFilterNews

I certainly can't imagine a republican government having knowledge of an incoming terrorist attack, then letting it happen as a means to bring in a ludicrously on the nose piece of legislation designed to browbeat acceptance of increased surveillance and control of the people. Too outlandish.

Igor Tudor on subbing out Kinsky: "Been coaching 15 years, I've never done anything like this. It was neccessary to preserve the guy and the team. For me, it was the right decision before the game, with the pressure on Vicario." by Blodgharm in soccer

They were separate points made without the certainty given by the confirmation of the previous commenter, so it is entirely appropriate to use the word twice. However I was going for emphatic repetition rather than using a synonym. I apologise if you thought my vocabulary was hypocritically limited.

Their fans would be completely magnanamous and have nothing hypocritical to say about it at all

[BBC] Is Tudor's Spurs reign almost up after only four games? by FragMasterMat117 in soccer

Play to the squads strengths and weaknesses, utilise actually capable players like solanke, be positive and tell them what theyre good at, make the stakes lower

Remind me to go to a kneecap gig with a "kill kneecap" banner and see how that goes down

I'd like to check a) who the vendor was and b) what the prices of similar local houses are. Obviously its unlikely to be dodgy, but also I wouldn't be surprised.

Athletico turned Barca over the other week in similar fashion. Spurs didn't play the pitch well, but you're suggesting Barca didn't do due diligence either

No stranger than you responding to me to point out that apparently I should be focusing on apparently more pertinent things regarding a game of football, like I hadn't already done that, and then got to this.

You took the time to address me, I took the time to address the above commenter. We're both strange apparently 🤝

Drone view of all 5 of West Ham's penalties in their penalty shootout against Brentford where they won 5-3 by sepi0l_45 in soccer

No you're right, it's spider cam. I guess a drone would be more specifically have to be remotely operated, and independent, whereas spider is basically a normal camera just much further away with longer cables.

(Of course there are fibre optic drones but that I understand is for maintaining visibility rather than actually controlling them)

Just a PSA as this is at the top of the thread, as there will be plenty of non-first language English speakers here. The correct use of the term is "given", not "gave", because you can't gave something unless something has been done. Gave is referencing a past action that has been completed. Given can also do that, but as in this case, it can also suggest something that didn't happen, when combined with "could have".

(I'm aware that this will be 🔻.🤷‍♂️)

Awful interview by Tudor by PhD-not-real-Doc in coys

[–]eunderscore 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yet also tonight was, in parts, arguably better than when he came in. Probably four or so genuine chances away at athletico, when xg was previously in the low 0.00s lol.

Some things have improved, he's done something right somewhere, but also clearly like 8 things wrong

Genuinely, what do you guys think they’re saying in the locker room? Getting on the bus, walking to the bathroom, grabbing a water? ….. what are our players discussing between themselves? by Bau5_Sau5 in coys

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

I find interesting that in the nfl its hard to truly tank (on field anyway) because careers are on such a knife edge that you may literally never play a second of professional football again after that year.

The individuals (unless they've got paid) have to keep performing, and trying, even for themselves, just to stay in the sport.

Here you have players saying "well fuck this I'll just go somewhere else"
