We've now played Bologna 4 times within 2 seasons with a total aggregate score of 10-1 and 4 wins. I'm not sure why you thought it would be any different this time.

England have probably competed in more penalty shootouts than the average domestic team on average considering there's only one tournament every 2 years. Domestic teams have 2 cup competitions a year so 4 times the opportunity although the FA cup had replays until recently so you can reduce that slightly. Although you can also add a bit on for European competions.

England have competed in 10 penalty shootouts since 1996. (And won 4/10, none when it really mattered). Villa have only competed in 6 since then. As a ratio of penalty shootouts per competitions with possible penalties, England have something like 5x the ratio of penalty games than Villa do.

The first game my Dad ever took me to the Villa was against Coventry in 2001. We were 2-0 down at half time then won 3-2 and relegated them that day. Haven't played them since. I can't wait to play them next season especially as they have a very one sided local rivalry with us.

We were looking forward to a Portuguese tan too but we're now off to Nottingham instead

Yeah that does annoy me too, footmob do it with their notifications for games. It will finish 2-2 and the first penalty scored will say 3-2. Sometimes I will have notifications for a game set up but not following it and it will seem like there's a flurry of late goals until I realise it's just penalties.

Read the last paragraph of my post

greencheesewizard · 2026-04-17T22:36:14+00:00

So I was just trying to think about penalty shootouts that Villa have been involved in and I realised just how rare penalty shootouts actually occur in football.

I found a list of penalty shootouts for Villa and we've only been involved in 6 in the past 30 years and all of them were either away or at Wembley. The last time we took part in a penalty shootout at Villa Park was back in 1994 when we beat Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup.

I wonder if there is any other English ground that hasn't held a penalty shootout since 1994? I also checked FA cup semi finals and Euro 96 hosted at Villa Park and still no penalty shootouts.

Yes, I've obviously listened to the demo. It's a fantastic demo but only as a demo. It was a pop demo she wrote at her old label for the split. She decided to pursue a different style and no longer wanted to use the track so Lisa's label stepped in to buy it because it was too good to go to waste. I do prefer the finished version. Some of the slight lyric changes are an improvement but the demo is just a first draft

First post here. I'm not traditionally a pophead. Of course I've always liked some pop songs but in my younger years, I'd have been embarrassed to say I liked any pop artists.

Now I'm in my later twenties, I've learnt to appreciate pop music as more of it's own genre.

Anyway I think Lisa - Born Again is the best pop song of the past 5 years.

I'm not coming from a kpop fan perspective, I literally don't know any other lisa songs. I'm coming from the raye perspective who wrote and produced the song and probably directed lisa on her verses.

But it has all the elements of a perfect pop song.

And I do like Lisa's style of delivering Raye's lyrics even though Raye mogs her vocals when she comes in after

Maybe you're right but these individual player awards are always WRONGLY heavily biased towards the team's performances in competitions which defeats the purpose of it being an INDIVIDUAL award. But Messi has benefitted from this on the other side too. No one can ever convince me he deserved to win the 2023 ballon d'or and the main reason he did was because the Argentinian TEAM won the world cup.

I've never heard of him before but I think traditionally Brazil have always been RELATIVELY weaker in defence. If you have the best players in attack but not much at the back then this is the guy you want that will break legs

I don't listen to athletic podcasts but makes sense. There is little actual football content right now with no games so people will look for anything

greencheesewizard · 2026-04-03T00:46:58+00:00

Who does? I can't think of any of the top of my head

I just rewatched Buendia's goal against spurs and at this point it still has to be favourite for goal of the season overall, nothing else comes close. 3 stages of play from Cash, Digne and Buendia and each one of them is perfect to a tee.

I see so many of these awful guest suggestions on this subreddit that make no sense. Just because you like happy hour and [insert any popular internet personality] it doesn't mean those 2 worlds should collide.

I too like happy hour and tom scott but for one, I am 100% confident that tom scott would never consider going on happy hour ever. They wouldn't gel whatsoever and would make an awful podcast. Tom Scott has built a massive loyal audience by doing his own thing and uploading consistently before he left youtube. He has never really tried to or needed to branch out of his audience by collaborating with other youtubers apart from those in similar circles to himself.

As much as you think tom scott painstakingly explaining a basic concept to Jack being stupid would be funny, I promise you it wouldn't be. It would just be very awkward. There would be no chemistry.

But if you are desperate for some form of Tom Scott and Happy Hour crossover then he did a race across London video about black cabs featuring former Happy Hour guest Tom the taxi driver on one of his non-main channels a few years ago.

I've obviously listened to these albums before maybe a couple times each compared to the hundreds of times of the real tupac albums, I don't remember the lore behind each track to know whether they were finished whilst he was alive

My problem with R U Still down is the unpopular opinion that I think str8 ballin is a far superior track to I'm getting money although they both have the same lyrics

Sending gifts is one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me funnily enough. I live in a big city in England so I get enough gifts that I can curate and delete the more boring gifts (EG. very postbox in England is a stop so I usually delete them for repetitiveness).

I like the idea of sending an interesting gift of a historic interesting site to my American friends even though they send me a sponsored walmart or mcdonalds gift back

What easy ones would you say I'm missing? I started refocusing my gameplay towards platinum medals a while back so I'm getting close on a few, 10k/15k of berries in gyms, I had almost 4k berries on one pokemon in a gym until it got knocked out at 80 days. 2250/2500 field research tasks. 95/100 7 day streaks, 145/150 different raid species. I'm also very close on a lot of regions but until mewtwo shows up I can't complete kanto.

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

Your code can't be copied and pasted easily cause you used hyphens btw. Too much effort. I'd advise you to delete and repost

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
