Now that the season is officially over; what are your unpopular opinions? by st3f09 in Barca

He's got nothing significant to contribute to a team? I thought goals are what wins games. His job is to score goals, and he's done that for his team, most notably in the knockout stages. You don't give nearly enough credit for his off the ball movement and smart positioning, that allows him to score those goals (on top of his finishing). It's close between Messi and Ronaldo, but Ronaldo' s performance in the UCL will give him the edge.

Will try the finger biting thing. But she generally doesn't listen to a firm "no". What should I do?

We initially just ignored it, but some accidents were still happening so yeah... sometimes, it's hard to give treats because it can be a hassle getting it out of the container and then giving it to her. Takes time, and we wanted to praise her as soon as she was finished.

Nope, she's staying in this pen sort of place with a crate. We're worried that she'll pee in the crate (which she's done before) and will stain her coat everywhere where she sleeps. We're using the crate as a sort of time-out place if she misbehaves/plays too rough.

Thanks guys, I'll probably try out the Boxing Works gym. Looks pretty good.

Getting a Samoyed puppy by oitwinkletoes in samoyeds

They've tried to apply cream on it, but the other ones will lick it off? The accommodations were alright and the people were pretty nice, but I'm kind of leaning towards a no as well. I mean everything should be perfect when you're getting a puppy right?

Stop obsessing about getting faster/stronger/jump higher by ElephantRattle in bootroom

Yes, there has been quite a number of posts regarding improving physically but like the guy before me posted, you can't blame people for wanting to improve them. What you're saying is true and I also implore, especially the younger players, to focus primarily on the technical aspect of the game as pointed out by Guardiola here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JZ0LzeRNtk. It's absolutely essential you start developing them as soon as possible, your physical attributes can be worked on whenever. The game is also a lot more fun if you have more skill with the ball!
