Why is the finger being pointed at Hazard? It's not his fault the current manager is a fucking idiot. At least the previous manager had the balls to stick him on the bench in some of the games we were set up not to lose.
We have the best player in the EPL, alas our last two permanent managers have not found it within themselves to allow him to play in 100% of our games.
It's that simple!
Hazard is not the best player in the Premier League.

this country is amazing.
barely a day or 2 after 3-4 days of shite weather, you can't even tell we've just had some Siberian snow-storm aftermath.
Tropical temperatures here of 9 degress. Lovely.

EVERTON AREN'T THEY
I know the phrase is 'Everton Aren't We' but I have no idea what it signifies or why it's said like that

if you're an Arsenal fan you'd be foolish not to give Wenger a good send off whenever he goes. Last couple of years been shite for them but you gotta look at the bigger picture over the course of 20+ years and the success within and give Wenger the respect deserved.

I'll be able to watch the first half of our game. Not expecting much. Draw at best.

16/17 accounts announced for the club. Profits of £92.5m largely owing down to Champions League participation.
QuoteThe earning potential afforded by the Club’s first appearance in the UEFA Champions League helped yield record pre-tax profits of £92.5m (2016: £16.4m) – the long-term reinvestment of which, under the guidance of the Srivaddhanaprabha family and its King Power Group of Companies, will be a catalyst in the Club’s growth and its pursuit of further sustainable success.
Turnover for the year increased to £233m (£128.7 in 2016), owing largely to the Club’s outstanding performance in progressing to the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals, further than any other English club that season. The addition of European competition to the fixture schedule also boosted ticket revenue by 42 per cent, despite a third consecutive year of frozen Season Ticket prices.
The 2016/17 campaign was also the first of the Premier League’s improved three-season domestic and international broadcast contracts to 2018/19.
Greater investment in the playing squad in the shape of transfer fees and improved contracts contributed to a 59 per cent increase in operating costs to £65.5m (2016: £41.3m). The Club invested £102m in player registrations, which was partly funded by a £38m profit on player trading.
Leicester City Chief Executive Susan Whelan said: “Securing a legacy for the Club’s recent achievements is among our greatest responsibilities, as it will be the platform from which Leicester City can grow and achieve further, sustainable success in the future. It is central to King Power’s vision for the Club and the determination of the Srivaddhanaprabha family to reward our fans for their immeasurable and unconditional support.
“Fundamental to that legacy is the commercial consolidation of the opportunities success has afforded the Club. This allows us to make further long-term investments in outstanding players and key personnel; infrastructure to strengthen our operations and services; and world-class facilities such as our proposed new training facility in Charnwood – all of which will aid the Club’s continued growth for generations to come.
“As with the on-pitch achievements of which these financial results are a consequence, we remain realistic about the immediate likelihood of them being repeated, but are determined to make sure their impact strengthens our aspirations and belief in the future for Leicester City Football Club and our consistent growth and success on and off the pitch.”

apparently an illegal distillery of vodka (in the basement) was the cause of the incident. Must have been something seriously wrong with the way it was set up to cause an explosion as big as that.

Right now why? Because of results?
Thats neither here nor there because their results are coming from endeavour and not from quality football. Endeavour is worthy of merit but quality supersedes this. We are a better side than them!
well I've watched them play too and they seem to be clicking more than Arsenal are right now.
They're not exactly playing shit football, are they?
It's all well and good having 'quality' players but it means fuck all if the manager isn't getting the best out of them. Right now, Wenger isn't doing that with the standard of players at his disposal. AC Milan have a good standard of players too and Gattuso is doing well with them (after a dodgy start).

I watch almost every game I can (obviously mostly Napoli) but I've watched quite a bit of AC Milan lately and their results have indeed picked up (excluding the performance against Lazio which was rubbish in the Coppa). Even with that we're better than them!
not right now.

Bedford has had snow showers all of yesterday which settled and iced over in the evening (getting home at 7pm last night after work wasn't the greatest journey ever).
More heavy snow expected at 2pm onwards. Great day to do some evictions

Yeah, but the sunshine means nothing and Infact the temperature feels lower because of how dry the atmosphere is.
i know. can be deceptive if you've been in for most of the day though!
Funnily enough I've not actually felt that cold when going outside. Maybe cos there's no wind-chill factor but it's still quite chilly nevertheless. Had to do a lot of visits for work today and got covered in the snow even though I was only outside for a couple of minutes!

this weather last 2 days has been fucked.
where I am it's been blizzard one minute and then clear sunshine the next.

customer teams, the ones that get their engines from engine suppliers instead of developing their own. RB is technically a customer team too, as they use Renault as a supplier.
Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault - factory, or "works" teams. The rest are customer teams.
ohhh I get you! Thanks!

So maybe:
Top 10 (maybe scoring system like 3 points for every correct position, 1 for the driver being in the top 10?)
Pole Position
Fastest Lap
Fastest Customer (or customer with highest finish?)
How many laps before Alonso retires from the race?
why are they called customers by the way
?
also, how many DNFs will Verstappen have this season -

Sounds good, but maybe like Top 5 or 6 would be even more interesting?
fair enough.
8 minutes ago, Cannabis said:Podium is too easy, it's going to be Mercedes or Ferrari most of the time. I was going to run this myself but incorporate "Fastest Customer" so basically you're predicting the fastest car outside of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull.
Also, fastest lap would be good.
also fair.
