A friend of mine convinced me to buy Mutant Football League to play with him. Pretty cheap for a very fun game - it's an American football game. But you have 7 players on a side at any given moment in time. You can also beat the shit out of the players after each play - and you can actually kill players on the other side. If you kill enough players, you can win the game by making the other team forfeit. You can use things called "Dirty Tricks" to do things like bribe the referee, take steroids, use shotguns, use bombs, and shit like that. All in all, it makes for one of the most fun sports games I've ever played. Definitely the best iteration of American football I've ever seen. The commentary is hilarious too.

Funny fucking track title.

Yeah but it's nice and sunny here I would think he likes it, he sometimes likes to go outside on the patio but then he doesn't like being too far from the door. He's weird.

Yeah I think so. My cat is scared of being outside though lol.

Is there no urge within? B12 is a vitamin that's naturally found by eating animals. I'd argue it's a more natural source of B12 than taking dietary supplements. I can understand the ethical concerns behind not wanting to eat meat - but likening it to slavery is silly. There aren't any vitamins I can only get from eating a slave or taking a pill. Also wouldn't owning a pet be more of a slavery situation than domesticated animals used for food. But cats and dogs in their current state are also a product of evolution. And I think our hunter gatherer ancestors settling down, starting farms and domesticating animals, is another product of evolution. Instead of traveling like a hunting pack, they could settle and form a civilisation.

I've got no problems with vegans or vegetarians or anything, but there is this one co-worker I have who is super irritating about being a vegan and judging people for eating meat. But that's more her being an irritating cunt than her being a vegan. I also think there are ways to morally eat meat. The domestication of animals for a food source is a product of evolution and is natural - the shitty conditions some farms make chickens live in, obviously, isn't. But a free range chickens are domesticated chickens on farms, that are allowed constant time outdoors, get to see the light of day, and get to move around instead of being shoved in a cage with a million other chickens and having their beaks seared off. Yes, they get slaughtered and meat eaters will eat them. Farmed fish aren't the only kind of fish either. And free range beef has always been a thing as far as I know. I don't think killing animals is inherently immoral. I think that's a product of human evolution. But I can understand the moral objections to some meat products because not all meat products have the same ethical standards. But I do think that @Azeem98 & @Spike are 100% right that the ability to make ethical decisions as a consumer is a very first world problem. You've generally got to be willing to spend more for more ethical equivalents or do something like go vegan, which might not be feasible in certain places. That's true for other products as well: take guitars for example - I can get a cheap guitar that's got good specs made in Indonesia (I would have said China, but I've never actually played a guitar made in China that wasn't totally shite - whereas Indonesian Jackson Guitars can be fucking excellent) in pretty poor working conditions by western standards, or I can get a guitar made in the US/Europe in substantially better working conditions. But it'll be significantly more expensive. That's an ethical choice to make... and it's going to depend on what you can afford at all.

Hands off Mo!

What if we let you have Bogdan?

I totally want him, I've wanted him since that title win of yours. We won't get him though, we'll probably sign Allison who will be wonky.

I'd hope if we can offer him enough money, he'll agree to no release clause. He's a great player, I didn't know how I felt about him playing in this role... but he's been instrumental in our system. Perfect for a high pressing system. I think it's really important we get him on a new contract with either a much higher release clause or getting the release clause to go away.

Andy Robertson is fucking ace.

My dad just mailed me a book he read called "My Godawful Life" by Summer McCreary. It's fucking hilarious... but I'm also shocked that my dad liked it.

Lol Liverpool fans not from Merseyside calling Evertonians Scouse cunts must be the stupidest fucking cunts amongst our support lol. That's fucking ridiculous. I'm sure Moshiri knows some dodgy cunts, as he's been involved with Usmanov's USM Holdings, Metalloinvest, MegaFon... and Russian oligarchs are about as dodgy as "legitimate" businessmen come. I've just looked him up on Wikipedia - his wife is a pretty big deal amongst the English-Persian community. Not saying Moshiri is a dodgy cunt though purely because of some of his investments - USM Holdings has a shitload of worldwide investments - and between Moshiri and Usmanov, it looks like there've been a lot of philanthropic donations in the last 20 odd years. If the council's going to be paid back and this ends up providing much needed revitalisation of the northern docks, then I've actually got no problems with this... although I do feel like billionaires should be throwing their own money in for their own stadiums (but that's a personal and political opinion). For pretty much all of my life, that area's been a shithole. And I imagine they've only gotten worse.

None of my LFC supporting friends are tories, and only 1 Evertonian I know is a Tory - my cunty cousin. Don't know if that's because I don't know many tories lol, or if we don't have too many of those generally in and around Merseyside. It feels like the latter, but idk. I thought that Persian bloke (forget his name) that's running Everton was the head of a consortium looking to purchase the club? May be totally wrong though - you'd know better though because it's your club lol.

I seem to remember we were told we would have to pay for regenerating the area around Anfield before we could expand our stadium. And then our club acted in a totally cunty way and bought up houses at Anfield, left them unoccupied and in a terrible state in order to drive down the house prices so they could get the rest of the land to extend things. So I guess one thing is clear: neither the city council, nor the owners of football clubs really give a fuck about the working class people that support their fucking clubs. Sad but true.

I suppose if the council's paid back over time, it'll likely make money for the city over time. And if it does in fact bring in regeneration to the northern docks that's great for the city as well. But all said and done, it seems odd considering Everton've got billionaire owners. I'm never a fan of giving handouts to billionaires - but if the city does in fact make money off this in the long run, it's alright.

Think of it as mandatory charity for the less fortunate. Honestly though, what a disgrace. Especially as they've got a supposed billionaire owner - no reason for the taxpayers to be funding this. Food banks at every side of Stanley park when there's a game on, growing homeless population, but yeah let's spend millions of tax money on a waterfront stadium. He's a total mug - did you hear he referred Barkley to the police for his transfer lol. I didn't click on the story, so I don't know if that's just a sensational headline... but it's a funny fucking headline.

Phil Neville makes himself look simple on every single occasion.

Off he goes to PSG.

I've played it on the Xbox - I've got a few of the Jackbox Party Packs because they're a good bit of fun if you've got a few people over for drinks or anything like that. Quality games. I like Biddiots (you draw pictures of certain things they describe, then they're assigned values as though they're pieces of art at an auction, you're given the value of 3 paintings, and you bid on them). Quality game. I've been playing shitloads of PUBG lately.

I hope Andy Robertson keeps his starting role when Moreno is healthy. He's been excellent and while Moreno has improved... I just think Robertson is better. Bargain too.

So is his injury that's had him out for the season all bullshit?

The only issue I have with Coutinho so far is the timing of his transfer request. If he wanted out, he shouldn't have done it at the end of the transfer window. And especially not the same day we have a fucking CL qualification match. That situation reeks of an agent telling a player to time it like that to cause a disruption of the club. And the fact there's stories out now saying he believes he's played his last game for the club indicates that he wants to force the move now as he failed to force the move in the summer. There's not a lot of incentive for us to let him go now, unless Barcelona are going to pay a premium for a CL cup-tied player. If he refuses to play, he probably fucks over his world cup chances. But it doesn't make sense for us to let him leave unless the fee right now unless the fee is absolutely outrageous. But with the rumours that they want Ozil on a free as an alternative might have Coutinho worried. The stories coming out now about Coutinho trying to convince the club to let him go for a record fee seem to fall in line with the fact that he and his agent have been told it's now or never for the Barcelona move. Again, like Suarez, it's hard to begrudge a world class player for wanting to play alongside players like Messi and compete for the CL year in year out. But I can begrudge a player for putting in a transfer request before an important match and if he does pull a Mascherano and refuse to turn up to training and say he's unavailable to be picked in order to force his move to Barca, that will firmly solidify him as a bastard. Especially if he's going to do that before an FA cup match against our local fucking rivals. I think the club should seek to sign his replacement during this window and fuck him off to Barca for as much as we can. And we should let Real Madrid and PSG know that for whatever fee Barca might be able to land him, they can also land him. I'd prefer to sell to one of them over Barca.

Barca are desperate for Coutinho, Coutinho is clearly desperate for the move to happen, my guess is it'll drag on all January but will probably happen at some point during the January. So we should look to bring in his replacement now and fuck the little bastard off. Great player, but like Virgil van Dijk... definitely cunty to do to your employer. If you're going to be a little bastard and try to force a move right after signing a long contract, you should be prepared to let your club to hold your new club ransom. I think it could get pretty ugly though because I think Coutinho's close to where he may refuse to play for us, but John Henry is believed to be a person who holds grudges against clubs (Firmino's release clause is reported to specifically exclude Arsenal after the Suarez shite) - and I can see him not appreciating Barca's public negotiation tactics. I wouldn't be surprised if he would refuse a move unless it was absolutely outrageous for this market - although it might not be wise because any fee for Coutinho for this market is going to be pretty fucking ridiculous. If he hadn't come public with this, I could see this going like the Suarez transfer. Where everyone knew he was off, but because he gave us one more year (and it was a great one) he's still held in pretty high regard amongst our fanbase (although I think Suarez is a fucking cunt tbh, despite being immensely talented). But it seemed like Coutinho was winning fans back after this summer... and now I don't think he'll be regarded in the same estimation by our fans. So if he doesn't get the move and does some arrogant shite like fucking off to Brazil and refusing to play a la Tevez and Costa, he'll probably end up absolutely hated.
