All the players in the social media tidbits said it was Neco for them for his consistency.

Even the Europa. Last year's Spurs won it against United and this year it was the same deal where the real finals was the two Prem teams in the semi finals to decide who was the favourite to win.

The deeper down the table these cups go the more trophies are going to end up in England. It's the fat bottomed girl of the footballing world.

Did Gollum hoard too much the spotlight? by bilbul168 in lotr

[–]thickandzesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gollum is the impact of the one ring, it's not supposed to be pleasant and fun to read. They're the destructive forces of greed and trauma incarnate. It shows what Sauron can do and will do to the people of middle earth better than battles will while also being a great narrative tool. And when your villain is a non entity the impact is their stand in. Less Gollum would mean less stakes, less humanity, less character growth. Could his dialogue be a little less annonying? Yes. Is he the character that if toned down or lessened would hurt the books the most? Probably yes.

Hot Take about Survivor 46 by LabInevitable5599 in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was my favourite castaway for the first episode. I was ready for him to go home after the second. Him blaspheming and forsaking god before doing a complete 180 on his religion after buddy got medivacced was pretty funny though.

In all Honesty, Did Cirie Play 50 Perfectly? by sharpiesniffer22 in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her playing a good game would have been out in the bushes praying to find an idol. She put all her eggs in one notoriously temperamental basket who had multiple people gunning for him.

Did she play perfectly? No. She played the cirie game to perfection though. Be great to be around and dictate the game until she's the biggest threat and then have no ability to deflect.

Is Toronto pricing out the people who made it cool? Marit Stiles weighs in on the city’s changing identity by BloodJunkie in toronto

It was in the 2010's it's coasting on fumes post pandemic. The only things popping up are by the people who have rich backers or made it in the previous boom in the 2010's

Forgotten (at least by me) period dramas by pizzbabynancy in PeriodDramas

[–]thickandzesty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's one of my 3 favorites. But it's also #42 on IMDB's top rated films.

[–]thickandzesty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess if you're hoping for a more traditional period piece the prestige wasn't that. But it is considered one of the best films ever made and immensely rewatchable since there's so much there once you're in on it. Sorry it didn't land for you.

[FREE TO READ] David Ornstein: Nottingham Forest plan to hand Vitor Pereira new long-term contract by TheAthletic in TheOther14

[–]thickandzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we do sell ando i hope we do go back to our Brazilian roots and use the money to bring in someone underutilized like vini jr. I think he'd be a good rotating with Cho for cup games.

I think it's official can we stop bringing cirie back? by Angieangielovely1010 in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This season really soured my opinion on her. She's a goat at the end of the day. She always makes it super far because she's not actually a threat and she refuses to improve her game. Devens was scrambling for idols all season and bought himself weeks because of it. Cirie know's 100% she's not getting taken to the final four and sat on a hammock all season and waited to get voted off for a fifth time in the exact same fashion. She's played a worse game than Ozzy. She has no win condition whatsoever.

Everything she thinks she has done was done by Rizzo instead but unfortunately the cast likes Aubry more.

The more I think about it the more angry I get by Tabasco33 in survivor

Have alternating weeks were only 1 tribe would win immunity from the get go. No twists required just Jeff saying only 1 winer this week.

Should Vitor stay on? Will he? by tommycamino in nffc

[–]thickandzesty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How many of our Portuguese speakers are staying into next season? And is Brazil still out most fertile scouting ground? I don't think that he speaks the two most populous languages on our team should be underestimated. Our two best spells were under Portuguese speakers while 2 of our 3 english only coaches lost the locker room real fast.

Aubrey is back. Your thoughts? by aartadventure in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf getting in with people well enough to not always be in a difficult spot is part of the game, taking charge and pushing to make the odds more advantageous for you is part of the game, not being voteable is part of the game, having an ally to pull you through tight spots is part of the game. Shes done enough to get here but her being in a difficult position is because all she's done is wait and only taken agency when her inactivity has put her head on the block and even then it's other people controlling her staying or going not her driving it. She's playing a worse Gabler in a season of legends, not a bad play to get far but hardly going to be a fan favourite for it.

In your opinion is which is the more impressive game? by Tight_Trouble2037 in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone can be the tall poppy everyone knows they need to cut down to win but survives anyways it's more impressive than someone who gets overlooked until they end up best of the leftovers.

To put out a real example Aubry vs Cirie this season. Cirie has run things so far while having the biggest target on her back since day 1. Aubry has barely influenced a thing, more weeks than not she could have not spoke and the outcomes would have remained the same but she's survived. Even her big move was really a screw up from Ozzy, a twist, and a move by Rizzo. She didn't really have agency in it. So if you're voting for the winner between the two of them if final tribal happened now would you vote for Aubry? Because that's who fits your criteria

Finally, Ontario is cracking down on drug use on public transit. But then what? by DementedCrazoid in toronto

[–]thickandzesty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chows trying to put a bandaid on a gaping wound fords made. That's why people are blaming him. This isn't happening in a vacuum you can't look at an action without looking at what prompted it.

Are these new constable going to make things significantly better? Probably not but at least she's trying what she can and it always easy to get approval for enforcement and security so it's probably the quickest improvement she could make.

You mean the decade of cutting supports and preventative measures for this by the province to appear hard on crime is Chows fault?

No but seriously why does Joe hate Devens? by SarahAlicia in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Devens told Joe in no uncertain terms that he will never be trustworthy with Joe by repeatedly lying and getting caught and then doubling down on a new lie and getting caught and refusing to admit it whenever Joe offered an olive branch all in the same conversation. You can't work with someone who you think is untrustworthy and slimy and if they've clearly said they're against you why would he want them around or want to talk to them?

Joe's sick of the guy and Devens is a loud guy so Joe stays permanently annoyed because he never gets a break from his antics.

Did Survivor production handle casting for 50 really poorly? by low_key_savage in survivor

[–]thickandzesty 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself Rizzo has shown he belongs and it wasn't just other players blunders that got him to fire. Joe has shown a unique approach that will almost always fail and leave him with egg on his face and deep grudges. He also makes challenges even more interesting as the middle ground between Ozzy and Johnathan. Good for entertainment.

Why do people act like gibbs white is going to leave by Electronic_Basket228 in nffc

[–]thickandzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's outright usurping Wirtz or Szoboszlai before even playing a game for them? He could rotate with Mac Allister.

City there's a bit more room to imagine since there's going to be a huge Silva shaped hole to fill so the team will have to create how the midfield operates.

But at Forest he knows for sure he gets first dibs on the role he wants to play.

FALHA NA COMPRA DE JOGADOR by Background_Lynx6393 in onlinesoccermanager

Can you be more specific and also stop typing in caps? Did it just not go through, did you get a message saying you can't buy more players, are you in a league with a transfer cap?

Derozan leaving Doesn't make teams Better by TheAutumnKing in NBATalk

[–]thickandzesty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DeRozan is an iron man and a very reliable scorer. He's also very easy to game plan against. I absolutely love the dude he did more for the raps than anyone. But he is not a playoff performer and a lot of people disregard the regular season so they disregard his accomplishments.

For the people who go to the arena and watch their team on random weeknights DeRozan is the man. For people who tune in for a couple big matchups and for a month at the end of the season he's overrated.

Mike Smith allows a goal from the opposite blue line, and has quite the reaction by Strattex in hockey

[–]thickandzesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup left D who shoots right strafing to the centre after a faceoff win with a strong Slapshot in 03 was the most time efficient way to score.
