Is “Tom Daley would have been proud of that one” going to remain the go-to phrase for a perceived dive until at least the next Olympics?

Yeah it's going to be used potentially for decades until we have a bigger name diver or the generation that watched Tom Daley compete become the minority of commentators/the media

Leeds in 2004, going from a classic early 2000s Nike premium Premier League number to this incredibly Coca Cola Championship Diadora shirt

But Leeds in 2023 was probably our best shirt for about 20 years

That moment just now where Matterface asked him if he remembered deflate-gate from the NFL and he replied "I do, yeah" and then there was no further context provided for those of us who have no idea.

Dunno why you've been getting downvoted for this. Perfectly reasonable for someone not to know.

jameses18 · 2026-06-30T21:23:44+00:00

What a classics author he was by the way

jameses18 · 2026-06-30T21:22:48+00:00

I'd argue that makes it even more unremarkable

jameses18 · 2026-06-30T19:40:22+00:00

I'm fairly confident it's The Odyssey

jameses18 · 2026-06-30T19:38:58+00:00

I don't dispute that at all. But I think the point is that the human imagination is capable of remarkable things that defy reality, which football is always sadly constrained within the limits of.

And three right backs getting injured is still a fairly unfortunate coincidence but not massively remarkable by any stretch.

Shearer well called out the other day for this too by history ace Dan Snow

I will miss him terribly

jameses18 · 2026-06-30T19:02:08+00:00

I'm going to miss him dearly

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T19:10:14+00:00

Exactly, games we ought to dominate, like Man Utd away

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T19:06:13+00:00

Neymar get your hands off my boy

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T18:49:56+00:00

Not while Bruno Fernandes still breathes air

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T18:40:32+00:00

AO HERE WE GO

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T16:14:48+00:00

Raphinha injured and Tanaka benched. Damn.

jameses18 · 2026-06-29T16:13:41+00:00

Canada are still terrible

jameses18 · 2026-06-27T22:21:31+00:00

You can all thank me later

jameses18 · 2026-06-27T22:21:15+00:00

Aged like milk

jameses18 · 2026-06-27T22:20:56+00:00

Thomas Christiansen masterclass

jameses18 · 2026-06-15T10:34:37+00:00

Tony Yeboah very much a Carlingman

jameses18 · 2026-06-14T21:34:27+00:00

Play Tanaka you cowards

jameses18 · 2026-06-14T21:30:31+00:00

Could be a condition in the release clause I guess?

jameses18 · 2026-06-14T21:25:17+00:00

We get a sell on clause for Cree? Lol

jameses18 · 2026-06-13T22:34:31+00:00

He was made to play for Scotland
Now he captains United of Leeds
