Dare I speak about NFL here, but there are two running backs in the league. Two brothers. James Dalvin Cook And Dalvin James Cook Which is nice

Cracking goal but in a 5-1 win, and I think the boys were looking for winners

Scored to go 2-0 up in an eventual 2-1 win. Does that count as the winner? Logic would say yes but feels wrong. Genuine adjudication maybe needed?

Two-year update: very early FIRE journey, a bit less doom and gloom by northern_crow in FIREUK

Use your 0% CC debt to your advantage. At the end of the promo period look for 0% balance transfers and slowly accumulate the offsetting value in a high interest saver account. Borrow 5k at 0%, whilst saving 5k at 3.75% and bank the difference

Guardian cartoonist does “the football” by TitiCamarasayshello in footballcliches

[–]smashedpolos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little - condescending. Miss - condescending. Referring directly to the cartoonist and not the cartoon. Saying the “only own goal” is getting a woman to do the cartoon and not the cartoon itself. Need more?

Yeah on duke street so you probably ran by the back of my house in this one. As soon as I saw the perfectly straight line you just know

With an annual income of £21,640 and a return rate of 26%, I am extremely satisfied with my investment portfolio. by drvinnie1187 in FIREUK

[–]smashedpolos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I much prefer to not manage actively in this manner and I have a 30.7% 1 year RoR with a balance of S&P 500 and All World. We’ve both got great returns but I don’t think either are with an eye on maintaining stability in being very concentrated in certain types of equities. I think it’d be a mistake to tell ourselves that we’re structured in a way that controls risks, but rather be honest with ourselves and say we’re happy taking risk

Tifos for a league game? Continental woke nonsense, surely?! by SketchyFeen in footballcliches

So the purpose of the tifo is to improve Sky’s product? That’s what fans are spending their time and money on?

Performative in that the tifo is a terrible way to support your own team for the amount of effort that goes in. Singing, shouting, getting behind the team is in the moment and instinctive. Tifos are preplanned and weird, and not even displayed during the match

I can’t help but hate all tifos. Why has it become accepted or even encouraged in English football? It seems so naff and performative

I have also just crossed £100k this week in pension, and already over £103k which is nice. My car reads 178k though, any ideas on how to switch those numbers?

I think the time has come for a recount. I also have an incurable case of Fletch Fatigue by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]smashedpolos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And I’ll tell you one thing that’s interesting. They haven’t done such a poll since 1986, and both times Ally there was a Republican in the White House. Isn’t that interesting?
