  1. Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    They are above us in the form table for both Last 6 and Last 10. On top of that, we are dreadful away from home. Anything can happen I suppose, but I'm not expecting a good performance or a result.
  2. Premier League Gameweek 36

    I'm convinced Pep has some kind of mild personality disorder. His behavior on the touchline and in press conferences is so fecking strange at times.
  3. Premier League Gameweek 36

    Never really thought about that, but I'd be on board with it. Penalties need to be rethought in general. It ridiculous that tight games can basically be decided on marginal handball calls or borderline trips.
  4. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Don't hold your breath. The guy is Narcissus reincarnate.
  5. US Politics

    “Terrorism - A very short introduction” :lol: They’ve taken a cue from Israel and gone full fascist.
  6. Film Worst Acting Performance of all time

    It probably should have been.
  7. Dirty Manchester United

    How can the players perform on the pitch, knowing that the IT department is dirty? Seriously though, seems like Jim is taking a serious interest in the state of the club on all levels, which is a good thing.
  8. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    The biggest paradox of Trump is that he wants to brand himself as this huge winner, but simultaneously is constantly whining about the people that are coming after him and kicking his ass.
  9. US Politics

    1. Yeah, it's about both. AIPAC and similar groups have the money, precisely because they represent something that is already popular and important to many voters (and some billionaires). But obviously it's the lobbying groups that weaponize the money. And unfortunately not all popular ideas...
  10. US Politics

    A public pro-Russia lobbying group would only work if a significant share of the population held pro-Russian views. I'd liken AIPAC to the NRA in that respect. Reasonable people can scratch their heads as to why American politicians don't do more to combat gun violence, and many point the finger...
  11. Music Your Anthem

  12. US Politics

    "Who's the fecking super power here?". Bill Clinton (1996). It's absolutely bizarre, but also worth remembering that this movement comes largely from Americans that hold pro-Israeli views for a variety of reasons. To my knowledge, AIPAC and other groups are not really funded by Israelis, but by...
  13. Pochettino Chelsea Manager - Sack Watch

    I haven't seen an interview with him in ages, but how is his English not better after so many years managing in England?
  14. The looming spectre of.....The Conference League

    I'd say we could get anywhere from 0 to 7 points, but definitely most likely to be in the lower end of that. I feel certain we will lose to Arsenal, and our away record is so poor, but this team could also potentially fluke two wins. But I also think 4 points is probably the most likely - 1 win...
  15. Jamie Carragher

    Yeah, that's cringe. I wonder if Carragher has a mild form of bipolar disorder. He's either absolutely over the top in this hyperactive joker mood, or he's spitting at 14 year olds.
