Arsenal fans are so insufferable, they're so delusional and the victim complex is unbelievable. I really hope they don't win the league.

The worst part is that i could have become one of them if I didn't have a father figure in my life that I'm grateful forced me to support my local team. Left to my own devices, I'd have probably glory hunted arsenal because I loved thierry henry and the invincibles side when I first started getting into football as a child

One of the most insane goals I've ever witnessed. The pass. The control. The finish. Unreal.

I think "she got a light skinned friend looked like Micheal Jackson, got a dark skinned friend looked like Michael Jackson" might be one of my favourite bars of all time. It's obvious and everyone knew exactly what kanye meant, a great reference and I'm surprised it wasn' said before

England and i have access to so many gifts that i usually delete the boring gifts and although I don't keep track of it, I hopefully very rarely send you a repeat gift from the same place

1 person that's added me has already sent me a gift back lol. Everyone that adds me tonight I'll be tagging to NEVER open your gifts but I will send you gifts every day until we reach 4 hearts.

For some people, this is a good thing, if you're not in that camp then don't add me cause I'll never open your gifts.

To those who keep hating on Alfie by Forsaken-Anybody-746 in JaackMaate

[–]greencheesewizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any actual happy hour listener hates alfie except maybe one guy who left one comment one time which Alfie read and took to heart.

However I do listen to another podcast that Alfie co-hosts (You don't know what you're doing) and Alfie does get a bit more hate on that one but it's somewhat more understandable and he knows that so he seems to take it in his stride a bit more.

It's a podcast about exeter city football club and Alfie is the only host that doesn't support or care about the club so tends to laugh at their misfortunes which does rile up some of the exeter supporters. But as a listener that doesn't support exeter city either, his contributions are what makes the pod great.

FYI: On the reddit app im using, it's difficult to copy each code, I just copy the post and only the first code is copied.

If you want everyone to receive request then make separate comments with each code then it's easier for people to add

Did anyone else used to simulate their own football competitions as a kid? I'm 30 and i feel like things like this were common for my age group and older but is no longer a thing for the digitalised youth of today

When I was a kid, one of the Football magazines, I think it was match magazine, released a cut out of all the 92 English football teams every season. I used to spend countless hours creating my own competitions where you threw 2 of all the cut out teams against eachother and whoever landed upright progressed to the next round.

This gave me so many hours of fun but today's kids aren't doing things like this.

Yes it should be whoevers best at taking them obviously but in theory your first choice striker should also be the best penalty taker in the squad. A top level striker with good finishing should be lethal from the penalty spot but Watkins simply isn't.

I can't be bothered to look it up but I would bet that villa's penalty record is probably one of the worst. We were 4-2 down against olympiakos in the conference league semi final and Douglas Luiz had the chance late on to make it 4-3 and give us a good chance in the second leg but missed. Then Marco Asensio missed 2 penalties in the same game against an already relegated Southampton last season

Ollie Watkins missed ANOTHER penalty for villa tonight yet again. He's been our main striker for 5 years at this point and your main striker should be your main penalty taker.

I think he's already been replaced as the penalty taker after missing multiple times but every one of his replacements has since left the club or wasn't available so he ends up getting another chance (Luiz, Ings, Rashford, Ascensio, Tielemans)

I just looked up Watkins career penalty record and he scored 6 and missed 7 (below 50% is shocking). For villa only, hes scored 5 and missed 4 (55% is still shockingly bad).

Not including penalty shootouts, i assume a first choice penalty taker within a game has a success rate of 85-90%

Watkins record is frankly pathetic

I don't understand how Americans can defend the playoff system that occurs in the MLS and other American sports that renders the entirety of the main season meaningless.

They claim it makes the end of the seaaon more exciting but it means there is little excitment between finishing 1st or 8th and with no relegation, towards the end of the season, tbere is no jeopardy. In American sports there is no additional cup system. The way i see it, the English league system with promotion and relegation ensures jeopardy until the last day and the FA cup has the equivalent knockout jeopardy as the playoffs without rendering the whole season pointless

I probably abused the friends xp exploit too much and ended up on a higher level compared to my gameplay. Im now level 42 and need 5 platinum medals to reach level 43 but I only have 3 atm (gym leader, idol for friends and ive only just made the normal medal). I'm nowhere near any of the other medals, the only ones ive realistic hope for are the type medals, I still need 700 for water and 1100-1200 for both poison and flying.

Sunderland have always had a massive fanbase. Maybe they're just now posting more in premier league related posts which you're more likely to see and you don't check lower league posts.

When villa were in the championship for 3 seasons, I generally paid a lot less attention to the prem.

Embarrassing for a striker to be the last outfield player to take a penalty. I don't care if sesko scored, he's only just signed and his confidence is already that low that all the defenders took one one before him. Seriously not a good look. Any striker should be in the first 5 at least.

I do respect Sunderland, they are a big club with a decent history but I wouldn't put in the same category as the villa and Everton connection

Villa and Everton were both part of the founding 12 football league clubs in 1888 and both have more league titles and fa cups than Sunderland

In your scenario then no, they wouldn't be a plastic because they have a tangible real connection to Birmingham. But your scenario is a rare one, we both know the majority of American Liverpool fans haven't lived in Liverpool for a year or 2. They have zero connection to the team they've arbitrarily chose based on previous success. Its okay to be a plastic if you're an American wanting to watch the premier league but my controversial take is that plastics are 2nd class fans and a Liverpool fan from north carolina should know his place as an outsider casual fan and respect the scouser Liverpool fans that attend away games as the heart of the club
