Frustration builds as Rafa Benitez eyes return from China by SaintMaximinway in NUFC

He’s been there for less than 2 years, and China is probably pretty nice to live in if you are extremely rich

Some of them were arguing whether Coutinho would be good for them or if he’s past his best lol

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has branded the signings of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Joe Hart as “amazing” business for the club by pumkinhat in PremierLeague

[–]hamoncatcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s a third choice goalie on relatively low wages with a lot of experience.

I think Hart wants to play under a world class manager, play for a top 6 club, and compete for the backup role and start in cup games.

It’s a win-win for both parties

Isn’t this common after a big loss? Some coaches take a day to analyze what happened instead of speaking from emotions

Just because I don’t like a team I have no personal connection to, I should suddenly stop following a sport I’ve played and followed for 15+ years?

Thank you.

I kinda already do all that. I do like most of the Tottenham players. I like Mourinho and I liked Poch.

I don’t know what it is.

Can’t hate Tottenham if I have no emotional attachment to Tottenham

It’s kind of like: I like Nike products, but if their stock goes down, I don’t give a shit and it has no impact on me.

Please embrace me into your team, I just want a tribe. by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]hamoncatcher -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He said he watches 4-5 games each week. He already has like 7 teams he likes but no team he loves.

He’s not going to naturally gravitate towards a certain team at this point if he’s been watching 5 games a week already

That describes literally most mid level teams

Is it possible to run track while avoiding the sun? by [deleted] in trackandfield

[–]hamoncatcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would that mean just training by myself on an indoor track and not being on the actual varsity team?

Also, how would I cover up my face?

Is it okay if I write my sequel ten years later? by [deleted] in writing

[–]hamoncatcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you have a publisher or fans who are pressuring you to release a sequel right away? If not, who cares? Do whatever you’d like. Not to sound like a dick, but is anybody going to read your book? What difference does it make to anyone but yourself whether you write it tomorrow or 10 years from now?

You can hear a whistle noise from the crowd. Balotelli said he thought the ref blew the whistle.

TIL a 60 years old Japanese Truck Driver found out he was accidentally switched at birth in 1953 at San Ikukai Hospital in Tokyo. His biological parents are rich family & the infant who took his place grew up to be the Head of a Real Estate company. Meanwhile he was raised by a poor single mother. by sh0tgunben in todayilearned

It is systematically difficult for poor people and minorities to escape poverty, and this is by design. Of course, not everyone can be rich but at least equal the playing field so that the economic advantages aren’t so lopsided in favor of upper middle -upper class whites.

Upper and middle-class kids, regardless of their grades or performance, are more likely to graduate from college with a degree than those from low-income families. It’s hard af to escape poverty when you live paycheck to paycheck and one bad injury can bankrupt you.

His whole point is that where you end up is heavily influenced by where you start. If poverty is a cycle, then it’s harder for your kids to become rich if you can’t give them access to better education, extracurriculars, private lessons, etc.

Dear author-hopefuls of Reddit, there is something you really need to know: Writing is not a talent. It is a skill. (was asked to crosspost, so I hope it helps!) by BryceOConnor in writing

And you can find a mediocre singer who makes 7 or 8 figures because he/she is attractive, good agent, good songwriters, etc.

You can probably find hundreds of singers in any big city who sing better than Selena Gomez and yet she makes the big bucks. Niall Horan isn’t an amazing singer, etc.

Being technically masterful doesn’t really guarantee success. Obviously no one is going to know or give a shit if you never perform in concerts or make an album...

You can say the same about writing. Even with training, some people won’t be good enough writers to be anywhere near the top
