  1. Hatricks are fucking useless nine times out of ten. Stat padding at its finest.
  2. I fail to see what that has to do with scoring against top sides.
  3. Any bets on the top three scorers for Chelsea this season? Morata, Hazard, and Alonso.
  4. But it never used to be national as they were the only one playing it.
  5. Donte won't walk. He loves problem solving too much. Only when he is content, he will leave.
  6. WWE isn't recognised as a sport and the company doesn't list itself as one [and hasn't for a very long time]. Only prior to the 80s and in the south was wrestling taken as a serious piece of entertainment. Because the winners were called the 'World's Champions [of baseball]' and over a hundred years ago they essentially were.
  7. I told the wife what I wanted to do tonight when she asked. She asked again later because I gave the wrong answer.

      The most astounding fact about this is that you have a wife.

      Women. ;)

      Sounds like you've go it light...  Should be celebrating if I were you mate.

  8. I was thinking that fire breathing was a biological function and since it was dead it coukd no longer breathe fire. I guess it is magical
  9. Yeah but It is also an ancient narrative device. What it essentially is: something or someone happens to conveniently aid/fumble the hero in a dire situation. Think about Wizard of Oz: the heroes are trapped by the witch, she catches on fire, there so happens to be a bucket of water... water is also the witch's weakness. What a stroke of luck! I was hoping it woukd just be an near impervious dragon that was immune to fire due to being a dragon and used it powerful strngth to wreck everything in close combat.
  10. You should work on you sentence structure. By only using the pronoun 'him' you've failed to state that 'him' isn't Alonso; making both statements easily construed to be about Alonso. So to answer you, Conte wasn't the manager of Spain so he couldn't have selected Alonso regardless
  11. Alien 10/10 Perfect - no suspense has or ever will come close. The practical effects are still gourgeous to this day.
  12. Seems decent from what I've heard. Better than Ox reslly
  13. Terrible arguement. The Avalanche just had a shit coach, Patrick Roy is an idiot. They won the division as recently as 2014 during the years where the central was heads above the toughest division. The team is solid, Duchene, Soderberg, Landeskog, MacKinnon, Varlamov, and a few others. They won the SC under Kroenke.
  14. Bet 31 people died in Chicago last minute.
  15. What was silly was using deus ex machina twice in ten minutes. The chains was just a stupid oversight, lazy writing. Having Danny arrive in perfect timing and then having Benjen arrive in perfect timing is just bad writing, it is forgivable but poor regardless. I've never liked the trope of deus ex machina as it usually comes of real hammy and I csn't actually give a good example of it.
  16. I watched Alien again last night and my eyes were literally glued to the screen. Nothing broke my belief and concentration, that is what that dragon scene did to me, it brought me out of the scene and made me realise how ludicrous it all is. Anythingnthat makes me second take or think 'hang on a sec...' is awful.
  17. Because it is so cliched and I saw it coming a mile away. It also reminds me of this. Just because it is a fantasy show doesn't mean it doesn't have an internal logic. If suspension of disbelief is broken by something so mundane it just proves that the writers aren't that considerate. Same goes for any film in any genre. Everything fits together like a puzzle, that was a serious scene and I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of a frozen dragon zombie breathing blue fire (is it meant to be cold fire, or fire even hotter than the other dragons?). It stood out like a sore thumb, it'd be like Little Finger letting out a large fart before getting killed. GOT is a serious show, so I take it serious, if it were just a simple high fantasy action show wouldn't care but this really does seem against the grain of the show's atmosphere.
  18. The ending was so stupid. Instead of ending the show on the big reveal they fuck around and end it with an action scene. These fuckers can't sequence for shit!
  19. I've read a couple before and I can't say that were exactly the chummiest people. Something very... odd about them. Speaking English yet deriding all the Barca 'gloryhunters'.
  20. Watching a team implode so gloriously has never made me this sexually aroused before
  21. Marco Asensio could very well be the next great forward disguised as a midfielder. That fucking finishing is something else.
  22. When I was a lad learning about The Beatles, I thought the town 'Liverpool' had the most repulsive name in the world. Little did I know, it is an apt name.
  23. Much like Arsenal of the past 12 years.
