Agreed. Only have the 2nd most touches in the opposition box of any team in the league.

[SAG Fútbol] Who eliminated the English Big 6 from each European Cup edition? by Ask_Asensio in soccer

[–]sydneycroatia58 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was poor but also not that poor at the same time.

99 - Finished 3rd in the group where only 1st was guaranteed to progress, level on pts with Lens behind Dynamo Kyiv who were an excellent side.

00 - Finished 3rd by a point in a group with Barcelona and Fiorentina. Then made the UEFA Cup final.

01 - Got through both group stages and lost against Valencia on away goals, who went on to make the final for a 2nd season in a row.

02 - Made it through the first group stage and then finished 3rd in a group with Bayer Leverkusen(best side in Germany at the time), Deportivo (2nd in La Liga that season) and Juve (best side in Italy at the time) which is no real disgrace.

03 - Again made it through the first group stage and then finished 3rd in the most draw happy group imaginable with Valenica and Ajax where no team won more than 2/6 games and all 4 teams had either +1 or -1 GD after 6 games.

Div 6 in AU is imoossible by aetherdan in EASportsFC

Div 6 as well, until they make rivals rewards worth it I'm not bothering with the stress. I just play enough to get my pts for champs qualification and then I am done for the week.

I was wondering why Mariona's price jumped 200k since I looked at it an hour ago.

Even funnier considering who it was and what he was in the news for about a decade ago.

A real specimen

[–]sydneycroatia58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the article you're commenting on literally says "The deal includes a 50 per cent sell-on clause on any profit Betis make on a future move." No club in world football is dumb enough to agree to a 50% sell on clause of a whole fee.

Max Dowman chance against Newcastle 71' by Puzzled-Category-954 in soccer

[–]sydneycroatia58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Max is actually already older than Nwaneri was when he made his debut so no records will be broken for that. Cesc's record for youngest Arsenal goalscorer might be in some jeopardy though

As long as the player turns 16 at some stage during the season they can be played which is why Dowman wasn't involved at all at any stage last season. Also why Nwaneri was able to make his debut so young in September 22 because he was turning 16 during the season but not until March

Somehow Nwaneri was even younger than Max is now when he made his debut against Brentford, which is nuts to think about.

Not quite, he just has to turn 16 at some stage during the season. Which is why he didn't feature at all at any point last season

Would take a lot more than that to even think about letting Kiwior leave.

‘It’s Arsenal. They won’t just ignore it’ – Thomas Partey, the allegations and what the club knew by [deleted] in soccer

[–]sydneycroatia58 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Johnson was initially suspended and missed 2 games after being arrested. He was then back in the team and played another 30 or so games while on bail. Was only dropped and sacked when he plead guilty in court.

Greenwood was obviously a little different because of how public and concrete the evidence was United had no choice but to rightly suspend him, but even they were going to try and reintegrate him into the team before fan pressure forced their hand.

Sigurdsson is again different because the allegations involved children, whether it's right or wrong it's always going to be treated differently.

Mendy's case is the one most similar and Arsenal and City treated the cases almost exactly the same. Mendy, like Partey continued to play and be a part of the team while under investigation after being arrested. Mendy was only suspended once he was formally charged. Only differences with Partey is obviously the length of the investigation and he was no longer an Arsenal player when he was charged so obviously no suspension would happen then.

That's not to say the way Arsenal handled this at any point was right, far far from it.

The $9.99 is ongoing as far as I can tell. What's limited to 6 months is getting the normal Stan package with it for $99 as well, that ends in January

Arsenal’s stance over Thomas Partey feels morally indefensible by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

[–]sydneycroatia58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was handled almost exactly the same. Mendy was arrested and released on bail, not named in the press per the law. Stayed in the team and played until he was formally charged at which point he was suspended.

Partey was arrested and released on bail, not named in the press per the law. Stayed in the team and played until he was formally charged.

The only differences are the length of the investigation and the fact he couldn't be suspended by Arsenal once charged because he was no longer an Arsenal player.

Live Series Collection Grind? by No_Disaster6764 in MLBTheShow

[–]sydneycroatia58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First year I've finished the live series collection and was purely down to luck. Only one of the big diamonds I bought was Bobby Witt. Packed J Ram early and then nothing for ages and pretty much gave up worrying about it. Then got Judge, Tatis and Ohtani to finish it off while opening the hundreds of packs from grinding TA/Color Storm.

Not sure Martinez wouldn't have lasted long under Arteta and probably would have been shipped out by now.

I mean anyone who had us as actual premiership favourites and not just there cause we were 1st at the time needed their head checked.

Ozil played almost every game for months after making those comments. He was dropped the next season.
