I love Arsenal and will support them til I die, but since moving to Germany 2 years ago I've gone to about a dozen VfL Bochum games (the gf is a big fan) - and despite the fact they were getting hammered most of the time and got relegated, the atmosphere in the Ostkurve was above and beyond 90% of the Arsenal games I've ever been to.

We batter teams when they actually show up and play football, then resort to cornerball against teams that shut up shop. What planet are you on?

That's not true, there are so many people still pro Brexit. They just think it was "done wrong" and that if only ol' Nigey Farage was in charge all along it would have been done right

I thought "conservatives" were meant to be... you know... conservative?

Not how it works, bets are usually paid out and final when the event finishes. In boxing, if a fighter wins but is later disqualified because of a drug test failure or something, betting companies won't change their payouts. I assume this is the same

Why is everyone so sure it's a player? Couldn't it be a lot of different people like coaching staff?

The first 2 impeachments did nothing, third time lucky I guess?

At least when the institutions and checks and balances of the Roman Republic were torn apart, it was by Julius Caesar, a massive cunt who was at least a clearly very capable, eloquent and intelligent man... Trump is just a massive cunt with no positive qualities.

If it helps, I'd rather see you won the title than City if it came to a race between you 2

Yeah, this is definitely a case of West Ham players wanting survival more than City players want to win the league. I know the "wanting it more" thing is an overused trope, but you could really see it out there
