I used to love trying to fling myself as far off a swing as I could.

One time Arsenal lost 0 league games.

I think Ramsey is a much better player than Wilshire. Wilshire always gets praise from Arsenal fans... but Ramsey doesn't get anywhere near as much credit. Never understood that.

Yeah, absolutely.

If City don't win the title this season, Pep needs to be publicly flogged.

Trump's got one of the most notorious neo con war criminals as his national security advisor though.

They were Russians mercenaries trying to attack a US military installation. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/syria/2018-02-26/russias-mercenary-debacle-syria

So are we fully onboard with Russia's annexation of Crimea then? Assad's a cunt, but he's better than theocratic murderers and rapists for sure. That doesn't mean he's beyond gassing people in a civil war where chemical weapons have been used. And Russia certainly likes chemical weapons.

Can's out for the season. So we really can't afford any more injuries to our CM between him and Lallana out.

To send a message - a show of power basically as they wipe out ISIS from Syria.

The English title is really off putting to me for some reason, I don't know why. But the trailer on Netflix looks good. I'll have to get started on it sometime soon.

Fuck him/them. They think it's unfair they had their citizenship revoked because they went off to join a group of murders, torturers, and rapists that say they're at war with our society. And they've got no remorse for what they've done - there's no rehabilitating these cunts, hopefully the Kurds execute him once they get all the info they can out of him.

Not yet, the suspense is killing me.

The Kung Fu was fucking cool, also those insane vehical hijackings you can do while driving a car already. That's probably the closest any of us will come to being Bruce Lee.

I really liked that game.

I've just made an offer for a house and I'm so nervous to hear back.

You should put me on ignore then.

He's playing in a position where experience is incredibly important to having dominant and consistent performances. I think for a 21 year old CB in the top flight, he's doing a very good job and regardless of any mistakes - he's playing well beyond how I'd expect a pretty young player in a defense for a top side. Young defenders have it pretty rough at a top club, because mistakes are under a microscope - while young attacking players making mistakes don't make as many mistakes that are as costly (in terms of the likelihood of giving up a goal). I think he's going to end up a very good defender, barring any horrible injury problems throwing his career off. But with young defenders, mistakes - and sometimes costly ones - are going to happen. It's part of their development, because they need to learn from those mistakes and how to prevent them and not let the criticism and pressure from making mistakes get to them. A little patience and realism with young players, especially young defenders, is important if you actually want to see Chelsea develop players that make it into the first team. Otherwise you'll see shite like getting rid of players with promise to really kick on leave, go somewhere else and shine, and then be a reminder of what could have been.

James Pearce says we don't believe his seasons over. But we do need him against City and he won't be available for that.

I love GoT, I'll have to check it out.

I've gotten back into playing Crusader Kings 2. Fun game if you like those kind of strategy games.

People are making some quality Andy Robertson memes:

Yeah if it goes tits up, as long as there was some financial responsibility and risk calculation... which there should be in a business that size... that's okay and it does happen to clubs who are rebuilding literally every season. That's fine as long as there is an actual attempt to rebuild. And there's steps taken to have an immediate action plan if another manager has you in free fall - then the worst that happens after a failed rebuild and suffering through an awful season is you're back to having to start a new rebuild with a new manager. The biggest appointment, bigger than the manager is the DoF. So if Brand works out for you, I think you'll be in much better shape in the long run.
