Boycott's latest activity

  • Probably my biggest pet hate is wide players whose first instinct is to hold up the ball to keep possession. Growing up wingers were the most exciting players to watch and you'd want to get the ball out to them as much as possible as they'd carry...
  • Some names just roll off the tongue better in full. It's not a double-barrel surname thing as no one called Chris Bart-Williams simply Chris or Shaun Wright-Phillips Shaun or now Kyle Walker-Peters Kyle. Trent Alexander-Arnold is probably too...
  • I don't mind that. Obviously it looks a bit silly if it leads to a corner that results in a goal straight after but defending is an art. Crowds love it when a player wins a crunching tackle so players having that passion is good to see. Plus it...
  • I used to watch Vice documentaries in the early-mid 2010s. There's still people from that era in digital media I follow. Wonder though how much of an impact social media has been that you can eliminate the middle-man of an editor or guidelines...

    Seems to me you share being smug and projecting it onto everyone else. Go figure. Have a great day.

    Struck a nerve?

    The irony of people claiming there is a hidden secret society agenda to dismantle society like this is if it were true the people doing it aren't doing a very good job if every nutjob 5g conspiracy theorist can get their hands on it.

    No offence but when Owen Jones who was hardly a Starmer friendly columnist before the Israei invasion of Gaza (and obviously even more vociferous since then) is a lead Guardian columnist I am not sure how this dig sticks. If anything it is the...
  • Boycott replied to the thread 2024 U.S. Elections.
    There's two factors at hand regarding illegal immigration. First of all with smartphones people are able to go down to the border and spend all day filming people crossing which they can instantly blast across social media in a way you could not...

    The Stats For Lefties account is genuinely a terrible clickbait page that just wants to farm engagement from creating outrage. So many times they just throw the word BREAKING with a fire siren next to it and act like an opinion piece in a...
  • Most of the left wing critics of Ukraine I see who are very loud on social media are people who are just mad their priors were wrong. They were going around smugly mocking the possibility of a Russian invasion as Western propaganda which they are...
  • Boycott replied to the thread Music Taylor Swift.
    Fair point. It would be interesting if she made a comeback would that propel her as you always get a bit of a artificial jump by people being curious.
  • Boycott replied to the thread Music Taylor Swift.
    Interesting phenomena how she was already really big a decade ago but now is on another planet. I'm not a fan in the sense I listen to her music by choice but it gets play on the radio and seems inoffensive in the same way I can listen to Ed...
  • Tucker Carlson on the other hand has proven to be so very impartial on this war :rolleyes: I guess that the Kremlin spokespeople even have come out to deny one of his claims in the teaser is something. It played up to his audience of westerners...
