Would it? Under what circumstances do you send the whole planet into poisonous nuclear winter?

I’ve heard it is just sex and violence with none of the intrigue.

TV revenue from the Bundesliga 21/22 season. Ill post a link to the article but I thought it was interesting in how they compare it to other leagues and lay out relegated Norwich who finished 20th last season in the prem and brought home around €116m. I mean weve seen for years the difference in money between the leagues its not suprising but its still kind of shocking to see it in actual numbers. The rest of the article gets in marketing and whatnot, I dont really agree with some of it but its an interesting read nontheless. https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/8/23/23186460/bayern-munich-norwich-city-bundesliga-marketing-real-madrid-barcelona-premier-league-la-liga

Physics isn't just fusion and space exploration. It also explains basic things like friction, speed, acceleration, gravity, and force. Again, I'm not arguing against chemistry... I think they go hand in hand. I would argue that @nudge is correct in that having the knowledge is great but practical use of this knowledge is really what changed the world.

That's my degree...teehee...

I went to the game. The stats are a symptom of Stockport parking the bus and Leicester having no clue how to break it down. I commend the effort put in by Stockport but it's really not on from us. We had no youth players out there - largely backups to the first team. Rodgers said something quite disrespectful about Stockport, which I half agreed with but the statement itself actually really makes him look inept as well - in that "a Sunday League side could've set up how Stockport did". You get cup upsets but they're often the symptom of a wider problem. That was very much the case yesterday. Oh and as a side note for people who say we have bad luck with injuries. He gives Barnes 90 minutes upon a return v Southampton and then another 90 minutes at Stockport midweek. It's mismanagement. The entire thing is to patch up the flaws in his football and the cracks are practically grand canyons at this point.

Leicester are not signing anyone so they can save money for next season, but the team doesn't look like the ducks nuts right now and in the Premier League nobody is to good to go down. Also the loss of European money is going to tighten the beanbag a bit more. I can get Leicester wanting to hold onto Fofana and Maddison, but it may not be a smart move if they don't improve the team now. It is a very long time until January.

Like I said earlier though, we played Luton and Burton in his first season and I had absolutely no concern that we'd do anything other than beat both comfortably. Compare to last night where I had a concern something like that would happen, Newport in 2019 where I felt similarly - they're symptomatic of a team in disarray. Leicester when things are clicking will probably stick 3/4 past Stockport and nobody has any concerns. Just because it happens doesn't make it acceptable. It doesn't happen by chance and it won't happen to a team in good knick. That to me was another episode of our shambolic situation, bailed out by a goalkeeper he wrongly won't start in the league.

Honestly I'm not as bowled over by him as most people are. That isn't to say I don't rate him but I don't actually think he's all that dissimilar to Rodgers in that his teams are usually good for a period, fall short more often than they don't, and it all burns out somewhat. I never thought him leaving Spurs was the wrong decision. I also don't really think we're in a position to support such an appointment. He will see himself as being in line for a bigger job than Leicester and Leicester could only really attract him if we were how we were when Rodgers came in - which was a side pretty stacked with young talent and money to spend. An obvious ascent incoming. We do need a bit of an overhaul now and this job is tough, he's got a lot to lose by coming here I think. The whole thing is a non-starter. If he came I'd not say no but I don't think he's quite the miracle everyone thinks he is, albeit I don't think we're getting better either. What we need for me is somebody with fresh impetus. Rodgers had that kind of lift on us when he came in and he was the right man at the time, but he's demonstrated himself to be really bad at repeating the process and improving our team. He's been the biggest contributor for me for their absolutely shattered confidence with his general negativity, his talking down of the players/club, these collapses don't happen to him by accident. I find it quite incredible that you can take what he inherited and have it looking this bleak in three years. I really think we're nearer to a Dyche like appointment than people think. Rodgers won't turn this around. Absolutely not a prayer. I don't think he's even bothered about doing so. We've hit a point with him, like we did Puel, where simply removing him will add something. I'm absolutely not saying this is what I want to happen but I'm about 90% sure if you did a run of our games from now until the World Cup, we'd get more points with someone like Allardyce than Rodgers. Rodgers and the club are tainted now. We just need him out. I think even a caretaker would've bettered what's been served up so far. Four totally abject showings out of four.

I can go to PornHub for that.

It could be the kind of job that Ronald Koeman needs to get his managerial career back on track. He did lead Southampton to 7th and 6th places respectively in the league, and 7th in his first season at Everton before it went tits up. It's just his more recent jobs have tainted his appeal.

Potter plays in a similar way to us with Brighton - a lot of his Brighton tenure has been 'if he had a proper striker he'd do better'. You don't get much more 'proper' than Vardy, despite his age. I want Rodgers to go, but can't see him being sacked as the owners probably don't want the big pay-out, so they're waiting for him to walk, which is equally unlikely. Wouldn't want Benitez or Solskjaer - Benitez's stock has fallen rapidly following his Newcastle/Everton days. Solskjaer isn't inspiring at all. A few other names (alongside Poch despite how unrealistic that is) are Ruben Amorim or Marco Rose. Basically would just like anyone that can get a tune out of these players again - it's gone heavily stale with Rodgers thanks to how he is so stubborn to only play in one way. And that doesn't suit our players.

I don't need this to be a masterpiece. As long as it's not mega cringe I can enjoy it for what it is.

The nuclear button thing is so dumb but the British press are obsessed with it. If anyone ever asked me that, I would answer by asking what circumstances in which you'd want to see me press the button. Because we're talking about a genuinely apocalyptic fallout. I do understand at least why a world leader can't say they'd never press it under any circumstances because that would be dumb.

For me Klopp is on an equal tier with Pep, Ancelotti, Jose and Antonio, one of the world's elite coaches as we have seen by his record at Liverpool. Now, at Chelsea when all was going well Jose was excellent but when things started to go wrong we clearly saw he was not the man for a crisis and he failed to pull Chelsea round. Is Klopp the same? So far we have seen all going well but now Liverpool are, in what I would call a mini crisis. Let's see if Klopp can turn it round or is he another Jose? You're lucky to be playing Bournemouth next but Newcastle follow. Unless there's a HUGE improvement I can't see you winning in Geordieland at the moment.

Nah fuck that. No one should be 'ready' to annihilate the fucking globe. Especially as a petty act of vengeance after someone else nukes you first. Rumor among physicists is that all the modern nukes are duds anyways. I hope she pushes the button one day and has to explain to the press that afternoon why she chose to turn the globe to ashes when nothing happened.

Fucking no chance Pochettino comes here anyway. I won't believe it.

Alan Ritchson shits all over Cruise as Reacher, end of the story. Watched the series Killing Floor 3 times and it's the nearest story to the book going, it's full of action and has its funny parts where Reacher could not fit a guy he killed into the boot of a car so he broke the dead guy's leg and hooked it over his body, and that bit IS mentioned in the book. Ritchson IS REACHER

Fingers crossed for her.

All this talk about Wild West books got me doing some research and I just found out that Die Söhne der Großen Bärin book series by Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich actually contained 6 novels, whereas I only read three and didn't even know the other three existed! Looking for them online now, that will definitely be my next read

Haaland brings that same fear Aguero did, he is a match winner in one of two touches. for 50m it's an absolute steal

This is exactly what I would describe as a typical Republican politician from the post-reagan era. Almost every senator is like this. They seem to operate with complete dishonesty in terms of what their real aims are, and for most of that time have implemented policies, economic policies in particular that are more likely to hurt their average base voter than help them.

Well it’s only time. It stopped meaning anything when it became just something that happens every game instead of a protest. It never really made sense either, it’s a Yankee thing and they did it during the national anthem to protest. Kinda sucked the power out of it Europeans.

THE GREATEST HERO OF THEM ALL!
