kneeling in europe is an odd one for me, it started as a protest to the American national anthem during which you are asked to stand up and remove your hat. doesn't really translate kneeling in complete silence on the other-side of the globe, it's make more sense to stand together arms linked or something of the ilk, to show unity

tragic that

werent you a chelsea boy as a kid

Also one game played since the 50s right?

@Danny

Looking forward to when Brentford is promoted to the top division, the tension in the air with the inevitable Chelsea derby, the Chelsea plastics not understanding that it's a derby, and the inevitable seething the Brentford fans will have.at being ignored and losing 7-0

yeah i imagine a lot of is it frequency illusion

Neymar sticks out in that list

played over 600 games before madrid, may as well enjoy his paid retirement in spain

I would go to madrid to get paid and live in madrid, not everyone cares about being the best player, or winning trophies. already been playing 13 years hazard has, may as well collect a nice pay cheque, live in a beautiful city and maybe get carried to a couple of medals. fuck real madrid, in fact fuck all clubs, I'd do the same thing as Gareth Bale, cruise at club level and show up for country when i'm needed

no ‘you’ about it, more that i dont think that sort of thing matters. what do you want mate? can’t compare hazard at 20, fit , ambitious and young, and hazard at 30, fat, injured and getting paid more than ever. why should he even put in the effort anymore regardless of club?

behave!

oh try harder next time

No, football is serious business and I will not tolerate any clowning around, joking, fishing, or any sort of hijinx in my threads. As you were Spike

You see the difference is Modric was always good for them, Madrid fans are just spoiled brats that will complain about every player.

I don't think that is how it works

More like every single professional club that has ever existed

classic klopp burnout. lights his candle from both ends

Chad because that is what he is

in a vacuum she does a pretty good job with the transfers, just not buying a set of players that compliment eachother. she isn't a scout, she is the deal maker, I imagine she is giving a list of players from the scouting team that has been approved by the board or something. There is no way it's as simple as the manager saying 'get me that bloke, ta'

Southern Yurope, I'd say the true meat and potato w o g boys are either Italians, Greeks or Croats. Turks are Turks, as Yilmaz says 'oi bruz Lebs and Turks what is the fucking difference bruz? I have the Betoota Advocates Guide To Australia and it has two entries related to the 'post war wo g' and the 'modern wo g'. The post war is hilarious, [while they themselves were victims of racism upon first arriving in the country they have now assimilated and have now become a constituent part of the racist mobs that hate on ethnic immigrants]'. It's funny cause it's true. Don't forget the English did punish a Uruguayan for speaking his native language. Tolerant country

They don't believe that the government should interfere in the market much, they think laissez-faire market = free people. They are so obsessed with resisting government tyranny they are openly bootlicking corporate tyranny. Which is ironic because they elected a business man because he '[isn't a politician]' and will '[run the country like a business]'. They worship the entrepreneur to the point of money being enough for fame. An American would be mortified if their high fructose corn syrup beverage was farmed at a government facility (it's okay that the government subsidises corn farming though), it would be stigmatised for not being a fancy 'designer brand name'.

Ready to ram Warner up the arse with bat covered in deep heat. How many runs this series 20?

They don't think it's the government's job to help people, that is what charity is for; they think wealth distribution is unethical because you and only you should benefit from the fruit of their labour, and the Soviet Union was demonised through McCarthy-ism and portrayed as completely anti-American and the greatest existential threat for their way of life. You can't just undo fifty years of red scare culture overnight. The Scandinavian model of social support works for Scandinavia because of their cultural expectations of what a government does and the homogenous and smaller population; it's ultimately unrealistic for a country like the USA because of many factors and using it as a standard would only double down the beliefs of American individualism because they dislike the idea that other countries could possibly be doing something better. There is a reason the Law of Jante exists as a sort of barometre for Scandinavian culture and it's completely antitypical of American culture. That being said I haven't said social programs can't work in American but they have to be tailored and sold in a way that is appetising to the typical American, for instance they think a single-payer medicare program would lead to higher taxes and that is true but most people would be paying less in that tax increase than their current private insurance premiums.

Ancient may not be an age but neolithic is.
