  1. If I earned 200k a week and my boss asked me to stand still for 40 minutes I'd make my atoms stop fucking vibrating.
  2. Apparently the pagan medicine is a media beat up, but yes, drill instructor. Worked back in the day but you'd never get the kids away from fifa and the couch
  3. You've also got to balance it with not upsetting them. There's very little accountability for footballers. Felix Magath was very successful as a manager in the 00s. But as footballers became more and more powerful within the hierarchy he got worse and worse results, as players don't want to have to train harder, eat better, and be more disciplined and accountable than the team down the road.
  4. About 6-8 years ago our conservative treasurer said something along the lines of "if young people can't afford houses these days it's only because they eat too much avocado on toast" Well luckily you're in a free trade union that allows foreign labor access to your country to.... wait a minute.
  5. "The population is more productive than ever!" Because technology is better than ever Because the number of workers in the population is higher than ever Because the cost of living is higher than ever and everyone is working more hours Because everyone has record debt, moving more money through more hands But hey, the population is more productive than ever!!
  6. Shovel face was bland. Don't know why so many were sucking him off. Probably a dr who thing.
  7. When I think of teams England always seem to end up playing I think of Germany and Sweden.
  8. You lost to Switzerland in euro 2012 qualifying because James Milner is a donkey and always was. IIRC
  9. Ramires was a confused player ahahaha. An absolute donkey. But occasionally sublime.
  10. "Wouldn't it be cool if we put the belt on Jericho?" Chris Jericho- 2022.
  11. I hate how they announce midfield and attack together. Team needs a striker, a proper 9.
  12. I was an exercise science student before I traded my test tubes for an abacus, which means I was a chemistry student. Here's what they don't tell you about desalinization. 1. It is MEGA energy intensive. Osmotic pressure is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from the shite in sea water. This requires enormous energy. In the middle of an energy crisis this is a shit and expensive idea. 2. The waste product desalinization creates (what is left behind after you take out the water) is right up there with nuclear waste in terms of toxic fucked up shit that can only be disposed of long term by shooting it into space. Desalinization on a large scale is a thing that might be useful decades from now when renewable and nuclear energy are in full swing and we're already disposing of nuclear waste by firing it at the next galaxy over, but until then, no Bueno.
  13. Honestly, at this point just eating 3 meals a day is living like a king in the UK.
  14. They need to change the law around Mankading. You should need to be Mankaded twice, and you're out on the 2nd. Except maybe 20/20 where the short game lends itself to one and done.
  15. Your argument that 'southgate is responsible for us passing the group stage' isn't factual cunt. You happened to pass the group stage.
  16. That's bullshit. The random draw machine got you out of the group stage. You think Southgates England get past the Uruguay and Italy you faced? He got Tunisia and Panama instead. There's your hero.
  17. Okay, so people wanted Gareths girth in their gob 2 years and 4 years ago and they want him gone but no one is surprised? Fuck me. Not a chance.
  18. It's like a girl who's only dated plonkers, starts dating an emotionally abusive cunt and reasons "well at least he doesn't beat me up like the others did"
  19. Yeah if you're gen pop its fine. Body fat% is always better though, but harder to calculate. I used to be a bit chubby while lifting (was going for max strength) so was 21% body fat (which is a bit sloppy but not rolls kinda fat) and because I also carry those extra kilos of muscle too BMI had me pushing the obese category
  20. You can say that all you fucking like, and I do believe that plays a big part in it. Obviously when you get that early 1-0 win over Tsunisia and people are chanting it's coming home it's very tongue in cheek. But it gets fucking serious and seriously obnoxious once you past the group stage.
  21. 1. Look me in the eye and say you don't have a top 8 squad on paper. Then tell me the 8 teams who do. 2. I never said you shouldn't be happy. I said that you should have given those results and how you got them a big think AFTER the fact. my post is about the fact that this hasn't crept up on me at all. Because you didn't set the world on fire to get the results you got, and being in a group of Germany and Italy you were always gonna struggle.
  22. I copped a lot of "we're semi finalists/finalists so we don't care" from the English lot on here, and honestly, I don't blame them at the time. Winning is exciting, especially when you're not used to it! However, the chooks were always gonna come back to roost. You can ignore a needing a dive to beat Denmark without their best player in extra time and can ignore going to OT with Colombia and ignore the going 0-4 against teams who can actually play football (Italy, Belgium twice and Croatia) at the time because you're all caught up in the 'it's coming home' whirlwind. I bet beating Germany felt great too, so good that you can ignore the fact Germany couldn't beat Mexico, South Korea and whoever else at the time so stale had things gotten under the worlds most rubbish coach. But the party is over, as @Beelzebub said, it's gonna be a quarter final match against Argentina or France. Good fucking luck Burnley FC international. You're gonna fucking need it.
  23. Meh. I've been consistent on my thoughts here since the last world cup. England have one of the top 8 or so best teams in the world on paper. Southgate, during both tournaments organized them into an Athletico Madrid style 'hard to beat low block with a proven goal scorer up front and we're good at set pieces' style team. Then they only really beat teams you'd expect them to beat. The England fans were in raptures because it was getting results but rarely stopped to look at why and how. You got dumped out of both tournaments the minute you played a better side. This world cup will be no different, it'll just likely happen sooner. Can't always play Sweden, Ukraine, Columbia and Denmark in quarter finals and semi finals. Sooner or later it'll be France or Spain.
  24. You would raise mens locker room morale to highest ever levels, then drop them like a sack of shit 6 months down the line.
  25. "Once chance for them one goal" Declan Rice. yeah mate just ignore Barellas awful miss from dead in front with no defenders around, and Di Lorenzo hitting the post when an inch left puts it in the net, and an inch right finds the sliding italian player. One chance fuck me.
