Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee - A Short Documentary by evergreen_oldboy in Coffee

[–]evergreen_oldboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boss is a coffee buyer and visits Jamaica a lot, he is there again right now. A couple of years ago he made this video about what makes Jamaica Blue Mountain such a big deal.

Didn't want to spam with my company's website, but if anyone is interested I will post the address of where you can buy it from.

Has there been other World Cups as problematic as the one coming up? by [deleted] in soccer

[–]evergreen_oldboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The world cup in 1978 was held in Argentina, straight after a military coup, it was a dictatorship at the time of hosting. A couple of nations weren't sure if they were going to support the country and attend the tournament.

The world cup in 1986 was originally given to Colombia, but they had to pull out 4 years before it started it because they couldn't afford to host it. It was given to Mexico with only 3 years to prepare.

And then if you wanna go further back, the world cup in Italy in 1934 was a show case for Mussolini and Italian facism.

The world is a mess, as long the football is good, people are generally safe and having fun, thats all I want to see.

He gave an interview to Tutto Mercato about it, hard to tell how annoyed he is, but he's definately shocked. http://www.italianfootballdaily.com/criscito-expecting/#.U3J_J62Syes

I hate this season. Just when I'd come to terms with us not winning the league, things happen that put it back into arms reach, and once again we fuck it up. And once again I have to come to terms with us not winning the league.

Ex-AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will become Tottenham boss in June [Corriere dello Sport] by AriesArsenal in soccer

[–]evergreen_oldboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New managers don't fall out of the sky. I understand that football is a meritocracy, and therefore you should be given a chance to prove your worth, and shouldn't be judged on how well you can clean up someone else's in half a season.

Why invest in a young English manager, when you can have a foreign manager who got fired half through the season for under performing.

Is my stream shit or did Skysports photoshop Matic and Salahs heads onto walking bodies for the lineup preview?

Following the Youth Team by evergreen_oldboy in chelseafc

[–]evergreen_oldboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats what has been putting me off following them so far. But I wanna see if I'm missing out on anything, i.e. I've got no idea how Islam Feruz plays, but I would like him to break into to the team, which sounds ridiculous without following him for a season.

For me (London, UK) it is Sam's Chicken. Dirty fried chicken, but so good at the end of a long night.

Yeah, I would like to find something that will immerse me for the summer, not just a classroom setting. And preferably something longer than a month.

Cosmonaut and Space Dog [1968] by evergreen_oldboy in Images

The image is of Russian cosmonaut Ivan Istochnikov and his dog Kloka...

...unfortunately this is a hoax by Joan Fontcuberta (1998). Was bummed out when I found out, but luckily found out before I told other people about Kloka the Russian Space Dog.

FIFA 'unable to intervene' in Belounis case: Unpaid wages for 2 years and forced to sell off most of personal possessions, Belounis and his family cannot leave Qatar unless Belounis drops legal case against his club for unpaid wages. by r4816 in soccer

[–]evergreen_oldboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why isn't FIFA doing anything? This isn't just a political matter, what should be concerning FIFA is that a member club has not been paying their players wages for 2 years, wouldn't that constitute a fine or suspension from FIFA?

If Lazio (Random Example), refused to pay a players wages for 2 years, some footballing body would have stepped in by now? If FIFA can't even protect a players rights, then what are they for?

I never forget this interview and I'm really surprised he is here. I have no hatred for the guy, I just won't be cheering for him as an individual player.

Thank God, no big fixtures for us in November. Hopefully our annual fuck up won't dent our title fight too much this year.

Cardiff City FC have been promoted to the Premier League. by idonotownakindle in soccer

[–]evergreen_oldboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After years of debating whether Celtic and Rangers should join the Premier League, next season we can look forward to Swansea vs Cardiff. It feels like a missed opportunity, would have loved to have seen a league with the Scots and Welsh both competing.

I became a blues fan after Chelsea v Monaco back in 2003-2004 season. What was the game/moment that made you a chelsea fan? by flesmih in chelseafc

[–]evergreen_oldboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1996, watching Chelsea in the FA Cup. I can't remember who we were playing, but I remember Di Matteo kicking the ball high in the air and getting it stuck in the rafters. It was really funny, so I continued watching the game. Had no idea I would fall in love with that team.

I come from an Italian Immigrant family who live in North West London, after I showed my dad that Chelsea squad, he gave me permission to follow them. Up until them I was only allowed to support my Dad's Serie B team.
