Incorrect, Dr. Gonzo. You are an intelligent man, take aside your biases and think about it. Yes, Terry slipping is funny because it was the CL, against United, and he was the great captain of Chelsea. BUT Gerrard slipping has much more to it, the team huddle, the speech, by and equally great captain as Terry but the line foreshadowing the actualy fucking slip transcends it into amazing hilarity. It wouldn't even be that funny if he didn't say 'this doosnt fookin slip', if you can't appreciate that irony of life then you've lost it. Also Gerrard slipped when he backed passed to Drogba and slipped when he tried to backpass to whatever the fuck England goalkeeper it was at the time. A trio of slips that culminated in Ba scoring. Terry slipping is like the Hobbit, a great single installment, but the Gerrard is the LOTR trilogy of slips, Return of the Slip, la. Like fuck For the record, I don't even dislike Liverpool, they are a non-factor for me, just another club, but come on guys, it's bloody hilarious. If I can see why Terry slipping and crying is funny, then you lot can take your heads from arses as well.

Yeah mass hysteria is a thing haha.

Cant remember the last time I mentioned Istanbul? Wiping the floor with Barca is the best recent memory

We’ve not won in 5 now and whilst the automatics are mathematically possible I don’t believe we’ll catch Leeds up now, we’ve left too much of a job to do Regardless of how frustrating it’s been recently to watch us underperform I couldn’t be happier with this current team tbh, Thomas Frank has kept us largely consistent throughout the season and the reason we’ve dropped off has been due to injuries to experienced leaders like Jansson and Mokotjo. Jansson/Pinnock partnership was the best in the league, without doubt. Mokotjo is not necessarily a sure starter every game but in battles against the likes of Forest and Leeds he’s well needed. An example of that is how he dominated the game at Elland Road last season singlehandedly. If we had him back I don’t think Kalvin Phillips has as easy a game as he did against us and the midfield battle is more even as opposed to Leeds running through us all night. I think what we’ve learnt is that with this squad we need everyone fully fit to keep up with the automatics, I’ve no doubt we’ll get our shit together for a final run to stay in the play offs but Jansson especially brings that push and so does Mokotjo. I’ve not even mentioned Sergi Canos who has been a massive loss all season, his running is phenomenal and he adds another dimension to our team. Unless you can afford to outright buy players who’ve made the jump to the Prem like a Fulham have done with some of theirs, you need players together consistently for a period of time challenging for this. I believe a lot of this Leeds team are probably on their third effort trying to crack the automatics whereas 4-8 players we signed have never played in the Championship, the rest have only ever known a late dash for the play offs. We’re in unchartered territory and it’s going to be difficult, of course it’s no wonder that we miss Pontus Jansson who’s experience at Leeds has boosted our standard level. If we can get everyone fit and remain in the play offs then I think we’re as good as any team in there

Best of luck on the bald above buddy better you than me, it takes me all of my time just walking to the loo On the other bit about the family, I hope that gets sorted with a happy ending.

Massive day here for me, first starting with the running of the Atlanta Publix Marathon, followed by a massive decision in regards to my family. I am leaving in about 30 minutes to head to my race, and my stomach is in knots.

I love this place

@Azeem This is my last post on this. This country's Political class and even authorities like police can be corrupt and shit, but I can vouch for our Judiciary. They have stood up against the mighty Gandhi family (Not Mahatma Gandhi), huge corruptions, scandals and what not. They have even stood up against the present government several times. Our judiciary even cared for the terrorists' rights while trials, may it be the Pakistani Kasab or the Indian terrorist Yakub Menon. The courts gave them their full rights. So, that is one of few good and functioning things about India. It's judiciary. We can agree to disagree on Imran Khan but Pervez calling groups like LET, Jaish patriots makes me sick to my stomach, especially after what we have faced from those terror organisations. I didn't mean to insult you with the Ahmediyas bit, but why would anyone deny them that right. Most Indian Muslims here deem Ahmediyas as Muslims. Some of my Pakistani friends from Orkut days, consider them Muslims. Why deny them that right. It doesn't affect others if they claim to be Muslims. This is similar to heterosexual people telling gays they can't be together, because the concept of love can only exist between a man and woman. Lastly, for people losing out in the NRC, they will have the provision to appeal first to the tribunal and then to the three courts. There is plenty there to help a wronged person.
