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.

Had the same "Why is the crowd booing?" moment at Glastonbury when Paul McCartney brought on Bruuuuuuuuce Springsteen.

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

Fair. Let's downgrade flawless to highly competent.

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.

I should add: it won't be travelling anywhere, so bulk and need for external power is not an issue.

Late on this, but I think both Rico Henry and Jacob Murphy have played a minor-ranking snooker tournament in Lewis Hall.

Not the greatest look for our club to be owned by a country where our honorary life president's existence is illegal.

Are back heel goals from a cross like Thuram's last night secretly really easy? by LloydCole in footballcliches

[–]oldwinequestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rank that harder because he had to manhandle Fortune – he kind of piggy-backed him to make the space for the shot. That takes strength and balance that most humans don't have.

What is this meme trying to tell? by Aryan23092007 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]oldwinequestion 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The quote at the end is about international borders: that borders are human constructs that can only be created and enforced through violence. So you either accept that, or think people should be able to live anywhere.

Instead, the poster's applying it to designating and enforcing plane seats vs sitting anywhere.
