Predictions - Chinese Grand Prix

I'm not touching the Sprint stuff this weekend, partially because I've posted this on Wednesday and Sprint Qualifying will start in less than 2 days (-ish). So your deadline is Saturday qualifying as usual. Bear in mind that that's still early on Saturday due to time-zones!

@RandoEFC @Stan @MUFC @Tommy @nudge @Whiskey @The Palace Fan @Coma @DeadLinesman @OrangeKhrush

 

Pole Position - Which driver will post the fastest lap in Q3?

VER

 

Podium - Which drivers will finish the Grand Prix in the top three positions AFTER MAX VERSTAPPEN IS REMOVED FROM THE RESULTS?

1. PER

2. LEC

3. SAI

 

Random Driver - Predict the finishing position of this week's random driver, Yuki Tsunoda.

P14

 

Bonus Question - Which of the "bottom five" teams will get a car into Q3 - RB, Haas, Sauber, Williams, Alpine or None?

Cheeky Sauber.

Also, genuine apologies for missing a few rounds. My wife has been pregnant (had a son 12 days ago) so yeah, life.

Not a massive taco fan. 

Love a burrito though.

As much as it's not technically what the OP is asking I guess, after eating any Italian food in Italy and then eating it anywhere else is worlds apart. I know that eating any dish in its home country is different but seriously, you're not eating pizza in England. 

Sorry for being dim but I assumed that Nagelsmenn was doing fine with Germany and enjoying the role, why would he leave?

City could win forever and I'd never reach the level of bitterness you carry towards United. If you want to believe the nonsense you've just written, fine by me. Its simply bollocks we had plenty of seasons where we won nothing and struggled. We didn't win the league for three years at one stage in the early 2000s. We were rebuilt from a team seen as washed up twice to create maybe three great sides that dominated and era. 

All money earned by being well marketed and simply because we were one of the biggest clubs in world football. Sorry if that's hard to accept but unfortunately however bitter you are it's a fact. 

That's something not true if City though, you know, I know it, everyone knows it. If we weren't to ever win a trophy again it would sit easier with me if we all knew it was done through natural growth and excellent management. Instead they've hired the best in every position and rebuilt a club in a ten year period. Pep is the perfect coach for a club that can turn over players to suit his coaching style. A player doesn't fit he gets replaced as quickly as he was bought. No hanging around like a bad smell. Frozen out and gone before the fans can even remember to how to spell their name.

Pep couldn't do what Klopp or Sir Alex did with a squad. There are no Quinton Fortunes, Endo's, Silvestres or Tsimikas type players within the City squad. It's a case of need the best, scouted by the best, bought by the best and then coached by the best at coaching elite players. They will even replace Pep with the best, that will be the plan. 

As for shadow's, being an Everton fan you'd know better than me about that. You've spent your whole living life without seeing the sun shine in your direction. That shiny new little stadium won't change that any time soon. Better hope a sugar daddy comes your way.

That's a fantastic chomp cheers mate.

City back to back treble odds tumbling.

The games dead, regardless of United being involved or not. Liverpool and Arsenal have produced two amazing squads capable of sustained success but City have just closed the game with the elite in every role from top to bottom. Klopp is elite beyond belief and he can't compete with a club funded and purpose built to kill the game completely.

Whereas I despite everything about City, it's fantastic seeing United fans getting up in arms about them - of all people.

The SAF era was dominated by having a chequebook bigger than anyone else and the referees in Old Trafford's back pocket. It's romanticised as "Fergie Time" but was basically just playing until United got the result they wanted.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Enjoy another season in City's shadow.

I was posting on a few forums back in the day and received a text from @Stanasking me to join what was TFF back then as he'd liked to content I'd been putting out and knew of the cult following that I had (the Cannabisettes as they were called at the time). 

I think it was around 2007 but I may be wrong.

Instantly involved in an Internet bar fight with HalewoodToffee but famously won (he died around 2010 from AIDS brought on by dogging in an unclean taxi). Ended up on Love Island in 2011 and had a blast, that's where I met @nudge and @Tommy. The latter who denies being ever involved but I know the truth.

Had a hiatus for a while as I was having to live in my hotel room 24/7, couldn't move without people wanting pictures and shouting "Are you that bloke Cannabis?" at me, not being able to go down the street really took it's toll.

That's where I met @MUFCas he wanted a selfie with my feet. After 6 months and a reach around I accepted, pretty sure the image is still on the old server but could be wrong. That's also where I met @CaaC (John) as he was the photographer.

Now I pop in and out of the place, @Rab and @DeadLinesman send me nudes to my WhatsApp so I only ever come on here now for football related talk. It's been a blast though, 10/10 would do again. 

Was hoping it'd be Arsenal, but fantastic to see that the Liverpool fans that were creaming over a quadruple are now basically going to end the season with a Carabao Cup. 

Klopp will go down in Liverpool folklore for lifting one title in his entire tenure. One of the best in orchestrating bottlements.

I don't think that ETH is a particularly bad manager, I think he's just another victim of Manchester United. The problems are much bigger than the manager there, I think if he was anywhere else he'd probably do alright. 

I think the vibe is that he's out of the door though, I genuinely mean this when I think that Coventry could actually do them. It's got full banter banana skin all over it. 

The media think it'll be Southgate next, but with Tuchel free he wouldn't surprise me.

Never played the Witcher 3, but saw the complete edition, which includes all DLC’s and expansions, was on sale for PS5 for only $15. 
 

What a steal. 

Can you jump in at Witcher from the third and still understand the story/lore etc? It's a game that I've wanted to play, but I've not done the first two and didn't really get hooked on the Netflix series.

If it's something I can pick up and play I might join you, but if it's something that you need to understand beforehand I'll pass. I've always looked at it from a distance and hoped I'd done the series from the start.

First episode is fantastic, real 9/10 stuff. Second episode is good too, but does drop a little. All of the characters are great apart from the BOS Knight who's a massive pain in the arse, hoping that he perhaps moves into the background as the series progresses (but expect it'll be the latter). 

The Ghoul and Vault Dweller are absolutely superb, if it were just the two of them (with side characters) it'd be faultless.

April is where City just go into another level, I'm backing them for the title 100%. 

Of course they won't run away with it, but they'll finish 1st. It's what they do.

Hope Richard Masters buys a shirt that doesn't fit him the horrible cunt.

Sunderland are bigger than Newcastle.

I've decided not to renew my season ticket, 16yrs of going the game coming to and end in a month or two. The love of football and Everton has evaporated to the point where clinging onto it is only affecting my mental well-being in a negative way. I just don't have the heart anymore to still hold on.

I'll be putting my energy and new found spare time into my family. The Premier League, $ky, Moshiri, Kenwright and all the other absolute car crash bollocks has totally done me in, to the point where I'll be getting my football fix from my local Sunday League team (I have two clubs a 10 minute walk from me in the North West Counties League) and on the TV via FC Porto (the team of my wife's family).

So sad that looking around for forum, so many are in the same boat. Football has been killed for the "historic" fan. Totally dead.

That Emma Hayes has always been a massive gimp. Not surprised by her latest stunt.

It's not Idris Elba, so thumbs up.

Glad we made a game of it against Chelsea's billions. 

 

Make out like you're Bury or something.

Made up what's happening, should have been liquidated the minute this was released.

Imagine thinking that Raheem Sterling is an England legend though. Jesus wept.

What a dismal showing so far. Fucking hell. 

Feel free to name me Mazepkey @Stan

I think this certainly puts a black mark against the Premier League title win for Leicester. Another club in the bracket of City and to a lesser extent Chelsea.
