  1. Suzuki gun has disbanded :(. Not a great surprise as Taichi, Kanemaru and Lance Archer are the wrong side of 40, Suzuki is the wrong side of 50, and ZSJ & El Desperado are 35+, but it's still a sad moment, and I don't like that the ultimate heel faction of NJPW were disbanded with a whimper. I always wanted a Suzuki, Tanahashi career vs career match where you really didn't know who was gonna bow out to be the groups end, or for Taichi to turn on suzuki and a new heel leader to be established (was teased with Ibushi which would have been perfect). Instead he just grabs a mike and says 'yeah, cool 11 year run, but we're done now bye'. 

  2. There is no way that only Warner, Smith and Bancroft knew. Right from day 1 that was obvious to anyone with a brain. Countless fast bowlers have said that 'nothing happens to the ball without the bowlers input, and any change to a ball can immediately be felt by the bowler'. Then you have the fact that Handscome handed Bancroft the sacred paper after chatting to the coaches box on the walkie talkie, then you have the fact that Smith lied in his first press conference then after input from CA they changed the lie to a new lie. 

    I have no doubt Warner and the team were encouraged, by coaches for sure (Lehman was getting that team to win at all costs with all sorts of scummy tactics and cheating, so why not this?) but by CA also.

    it's not weight it was government influencing what can and cannot be released.  in this case it was the hunter Biden laptop which since has been authenticated as legitimate and not "Russian".   in short it was political censorship because the information on the laptop is likely damaging.   

     

    Twitter are not arbiters of truth, that vests in the judiciary.   Twitter long before this has entertained all types of stories even those like Russiagate that were also fake.   it's political narrative and violations of the constitution the most serious irrespective of whether you are blue or red or in between.

    There is 0 proof of government intervention. 0.

    the documents released from former Twitter Gestapo shows internal communications where FBI agents as sanction by democrats manipulated the world's largest social media platform to actively censor potentially damaging information.

    elon fired another Twitter attorney who was ironically part of the FBI and the faux Russiagate scandal which was disproved on shear weighted incompetence and a tool to circumvent a legitimately elected President.   

    Twitter deciding not to put weight behind a story that was already public is censorship? It was a fucking news article you dolt? Also, Musks takeover has proved there were no 'shadowbannings' of right wing influencers and that there was actually a right wing bias behind twitters algo because they were the big moneymaker tweets.

    Whats the second tourne hes been in charge of? I agree with the rest outside of Neuer; Neuer's been looking average all season tbf and I'd agree they should look to a successor going forward but he wasn't really a problem outside of the second Japan goal that should never beat him imo. I still dont think Ter Stegen is better either at this point for what thats worth... hes been average for far too many seasons.

    The players dont get to skate on this one, as horrific as the lineup was against Japan you cannot tell me it was so bad they couldnt get a result.. too many passengers. 

    Nations league.

    The laptop, Sam Bankman Greed and Twitter are three major escalations that need full investigation.   it paints the picture of state corruption and a constitutional crisis building.   

    you don't have to be blue or red to agree that these are three issues that are the biggest threats right now that undermine the republic.

    Kanye west is highly irrelevant and has been since that song with the funky glasses

    What does twitter have to do with anything? 

  7. Nah I want him gone. He's had 2 tournaments, and failed at both. Line ups not even close to good enough. Sule at RB? It just boggles my mind. 
    Look at how open this world cup is, we'd have had a round of 16 match against Morocco had we got things right, and then genuinely at this stage it would have been a fair chance at a historic 5th WC. Instead we got teams with mixed up midfields, directionless attacks and weird RB choices, and the less said about Neuer the better. Didn't look great for over half the goals we conceded.  

  8. Barbarian - 7.5/10 


    What a flick, I thought Justin Long was great in his role when others seem critical, don't spoil this one for yourselves, just go and see it. Having no prior knowledge is critical to get the best viewing experience is what I was told and my friend was correct. 

     

    Sicario - 10/10

    For what it is this is the best action/thriller of its kind in a decade. A perfectly executed film from pacing and casting to the sound and direction.

  9. For those who are interested, you should be placing bets on 'number of passes' markets on players this world cup. Fuck, make multis out of it. 
    The market isn't used to games going for 9 actual minutes of play time and thus haven't adjusted yet. The team who keeps possession best get full value for their passing now and it's paying off big as the prices are based on historical data wherein games that have 5-10 minutes of stoppages only get 3-5 minutes of added time.

    Attempted murder/intimidation of Jordan Shanks last night, someone set his home on fire. @Devil-Dick Willie 

    Was only a matter of time. The thing that gives him huge outreach is his comedy and that probably stalled this kind of thing for a while, but it's becoming increasingly clear that he has an influence over a big chunk of young voters, and their eyes are being opened to the evil shit gaming NSW, the NSW government, the NSW police and the Liberals nationally are accountable for. He is a threat to the protection racket the afore mentioned groups run on themselves and im not at all surprised someone has reached out to silence him.

    Personally I wouldn't start Süle.  He has been less than impressive for Dortmund.  Hoffman as a wingback on the right.

    I very much doubt that Füllkrug starts.  Flick will go for a false 9 with Gnabry or Havertz up front and that would make room for Musiala in behind.  Müller on one of the wings.

    False 9 like when we were embarrassed last world cup, and when we were embarrassed at the Euro, and when we finished 3rd in nations league?

     

    coolio 

  12. How would we line up boys were the power in your hands? 

    GK. Personally I like Ter Stegen. He is in his prime and is one of the top shot stoppers in the world
    CBs. Sule and Rudiger. Has to be right? 
    FBs. Raum for sure. I think I like Klosterman over Kehrer but we'll see
    Midfield. This one is easy to fuck up if you overthink it, so don't fucking overthink it. Kimmich and Gundogan are very similar, so don't play them at the same time unless you're putting Gundy behind the striker for some reason. Muller and Havertz are very similar so don't play them at the same time! 
    Width. Sane and Gnabry. Do not play either as the striker. 
    Striker. Play the striker you picked. Literally the only 1 really. 

    --------------------Ter Stegen----------------
    Klosterman--Sule--Rudiger--Raum
    -------Kimmich------------Goretzka-------
    ----------------Muller/Havertz---------------
    Gnabry---------Fullkrug--------------Sane

    With Gundogan also likely to have a role to play often. 

  13. This is the first time ever that I have watched a tournament and England have had the kind of midfield and attack where their aim as a team should be to control the ball and dictate the pace of a game. In the last few tournaments the best you had were ankle hackers in the midfield to try and break up play, protect your back 5 and play counter attacking and lots of crosses. 

    Prior to that, we can argue about how great Gerrard is but at the end of the day he was famous for long passes and high risk plays, not looking after the ball, and when you have workhorses for company like Milner, Parker and Barry you're not exactly going to have 60% possession vs anyone half decent are you? 

    But here, with Bellingham, Rice and Mount, Foden, Maddison ect all able to line up, and Kanes hold up play, England SHOULD be trying to express themselves on the ball. The question is will Southgate bottle it and try to play 5 at the back and a very defensive midfield set up? Because if he does ya'll are fucked imo.

    Knowing we will most likely play a back 3 I’d like to see the below go out. Feel like you could chuck Trippier in as hes been great this season but I’d still rather Trent.

    Not a lot of options at centre back, the back three is lacking in pace but ive had enough of Kyle Walker at centre back, open to see him playing right back though.

    Midfield is cut and dry, Phillips not fit enough to start otherwise id have him over Rice.

    Maddison has to start imo alongside Kane and Sterling.

    Pickford

    Trent - White - Dier - Stones - Shaw

    Rice - Bellingham

    Maddison - Kane - Sterling

     

    How are you leaving foden out? Fuck me. 

    First of all, Trippier should be starting. Not Trent. 
    Second of all, Dier shouldn't even see the fucking pitch much less be on it. 
    If I were manager we'd have 4 at the back too. I know southgate will try for 5, but England are full of mediocre defenders, and brilliant attackers. 

    -------------------Pickford----------------
    Trippier--White--Stones--Shaw

    --------Bellingham--Rice-------------
    Saka----------Maddison----Forden
    ----------------------Kane------------------

  15. Cashing in on an open challenge, on a mid card belt, that he'd already held. That's some TK booking, especially since he's lost about a trillion matches in the last 6 months to every man and his dog. 

    If HHH doesn't wanna use him, have him cash in on BB for the NXT strap. Send him back to developmental for a spin. 
    If HHH DOES wanna use him, but wanted none of his champs to change, have him cash in on Roman and lose.
