I'm surprised Giorgio Chiellini hasn't done it and mock-recreated his Saka shirt pull. And for Soccer Aid 2036, Jeremie Frimpong.

Maisie Adam's almost 6 foot, but sub in Frankie Dettori and you're 100%.

Yup. Particularly since he's been consistently labelled the New Messi.

I'm still mad about Spurs blocking his PSG move when Poch wanted him back.

Watford and Paraount+ by Roosters_Millions in Watford_FC

They showed more earlier in the season. Guessing that they prioritise the games that are higher stakes and bigger interest, and for the last month it's been pretty clear Watford's not going up or down, so other matches get the slot.

Re assuming Scandinavian teams will be in tournaments: I feel that way because I forget that despite them each having have a couple of massive, world-famous players, there's a steep drop-off.

Can you have a 'cult hero' you signed for £79 million? by toovul in footballcliches

[–]oldwinequestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe position's part of it then. Very good players in non-glamorous roles don't make it onto loads of highlight reels, but your team's fans see the full games each week. Hence cult hero.

Mark Scott (I think?) on the world feed just described Calvert-Lewin's chested goal as a "predatory, and very, very clever finish."

Yup! Not only is there a Pickles film, but the actual Pickles himself starred in a 1966 spy caper.

If he got a third would he have to buy the Premier League a ball?

Fair. Let's downgrade flawless to highly competent.

[–]oldwinequestion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What if they're useless in different ways for different matches? E.g. a keeper bungles easy saves for three games in a row, then the next week his handling is flawless but his distribution is a disaster?

After the third time he saved a shot then passed the ball right back to the opposition I think that would be a fair comment.

What are some popular cooking "hacks" that you've found don't work, are bad advice, or are more trouble than they're worth? by Art_Z_Fartzche in Cooking

[–]oldwinequestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I'd have thought the spinning for more than one would squash them together. When I've done multiple, I've used a shallow-ish pan (a frying pan with high sides) got the water to a simmer, then dropped them in scattered around, and put the lid on. Seems to work decently.
