I haven't been playing the newest one(did play 2023), but had a thought concerning football manager in general this morning: Did time overtake football manager? Everybody I know used to want to produce a Fergie-esq career with their favourite club. Back when Fergie was in the middle of his...

Exotic FA cup... impressive coping mechanism that.

That is a very bold statement. We're hovering around a negative goal difference 3/4 into the fecking season. Anyone who takes pride or hope from the current setup, god help 'em.

Wasn't Bale golfing in his prime :confused:

He was already swinging his leg when that whistle was blown. I was so mad that I can't even remember if he was already wearing our shirt :lol:, but have a feeling it was in a arse-barca game.

I will celebrate the day a ref doesn't give a yellow out of common sense when a player removes his shirt after scoring a 95th minute winner. Until then I won't believe that there's such a thing in football. The player fecked up, the ref fecked up not spotting it and fecked up even worse with...

Very true. However I don't think F1's increase in reliability is that great an achievement when considering those numbers. In comparison jet engine reliability has also grown extremely in the same time frame while also increasing power and efficiency (well turbofans to be exact but I'm sure...

They used to get 1400+ horsepower out of 1.5L displacement 40 years ago. Now they get 850 from roughly the same displacement.

Does anyone truly believe there are little known Qatari billionaires without very strong ties to the state?

I'm up for somehow limiting it in the youth game but agree that it's a occupational hazard for the pros. The only thing I would like seeing tested is if softer balls are viable without changing the game too much. I've played with all sorts of different quality ones and as long as they're not...

That's like asking whether Woodward or the Glazers are to blame for the past 11 years. No reason they can't work together in the enshittification of F1.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr/01/f1-owner-liberty-media-announces-takeover-of-motogp They've found another sport to ruin. Is Liberty Media worse than Al Quaida and the catholic church combined? Hate what they've done with F1 and now I am fearful for moto gp too.

I find these statements extraordinary. As if the "global south" and "wretched of the earth" had a united position formulated in a St.Petersburg office.

Hamilton is replacing Sainz. Unless extraordinary things happen Charles will be at Ferrari for the foreseeable future.

I don't have any knowledge that makes me believe it is so but it isn't far fetched to think parts of FSB might know something and that that information doesn't reach the relevant people at the top of FSB because of the nature of the organisation. Wouldn't be unthinkable in any intelligence...
