General Football and Sport / Re: Man City - Cheating Bastards on & off the pitch - 115 Charges

« Last post by Jake on Today at 08:29:12 pm »

If this lot don't get punished I think that'll be it for me and football.

These cheats took away what would have almost certainly been the best period of LFC domination I could have asked for in my life time. I'd genuinely like to see their stadium blown up by the Ra (phone ahead to make sure noone gets hurt) and their board all thrown in jail for corruption.

I hate them in the same way I hate the tories. Its more than footy rivalry - they are destroying, perhaps destroyed, the sport I love. I wish genuine pain and suffering for all involved.

I’m going to be honest, I don’t even know what we are arguing over? What is it your accusing me of saying, and what is it I need to learn? What problem am I causing Arsenal?

Yeah i'll chat to The North Bank it's really not complex, he's keeping up fine

Totally agree

Im not saying wed win it with this squad, we need to strengthen, but all the signs are that we will. I think Arteta/Edu know what we are up against. If we want to finally get over the line, we need more in the summer.

Obviously this season isnt over yet, but out of our hands

You definitely need more. To be clear I'm not saying dont be excited about next season, football is (supposed) to be enjoyed but it's dangerous having that expectation. Football against a sportswashing regime isn't 'fair' and it steps away from what you 'deserve'. In a normal season where an injury or two can mess you up a little they can be the end when it comes to races against these sides which also comes with the realisation that if your squad isn't packed with decisive players, you have to rely on ridiculous luck to maintain the necessary pace. Take Rice and Odegaard out of your side for a month, who is stepping up and making up the difference. Maintaining the legs in midfield, defensive protection, creativity and chipping in with goals? Now take out one of the deputising options for 2 weeks. It sounds mad but it's entirely possible and that's not a worst case scenario. They have so much in terms of options it makes it so fucking hard.

Of course you can have huge luck injury wise, but your brand of football is quite taxing and it can increase the injury risk. Take it from a side who knows, we've been there and done it.

All this and I haven't even mentioned the mental side, it takes toll mate it really does

The Boozer / Re: Lego

« Last post by stoa on Today at 08:26:23 pm »

Building my first Lego set (Ghostbusters Ecto 1) and it's a fucking breeze after doing three other models from Bluebrixx. The latter ones don't have any separate steps when building with labelled bags with the parts needed for each step. You just get a shitload of bags with the same and similar parts in them (some only have one type of part, if the set uses a ton of them). They are somewhat separated in terms of when you need them during your build, but it's still mainly just a big mess fiddling with loads of small containers where I put my parts in and then finding the right ones. Really love it though.

So far, I've done the A-Team van and two modular buildings (a small medieval tavern and a more modern restaurant in an old half-timbered house). After I'm done with Ecto-1, I'm planning on buiding K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. That would be three iconic cars from TV-series or movies I really love. Cars are also small enough, so I can keep them around in my flat. The two buildings while not having huge part counts (1700 and 3000) take up quite a bit of room. So, I might take them apart to store them. Really tempted to go for this after KITT: https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/bluebrixxspecials/102818/Blaustein-Castle-BlueBrixx-Special  It has 5000 pieces, but also three or four expansions with similiar piece-numbers. I'm still not sure though as it seems to be ridiculously big...

We are playing to win every game. In the past week weve thrashed chelsea to their biggest ever london derby defeat, weve won two years running at spurs for the first time since the 80s, and it would be nice to win at man utd for just the second time in 18 years.

Okay, but you've also just said there isn't a chance City drop points. Which means the title's gone for Arsenal, even if you win every game and thrash every team and win at Utd for the 2nd time in 18 years. I guess it's good to have goals. God knows we don't seem to have any beyond getting to the end of the season.

I don’t quite get what you mean here?

The most you could win with this season is 89.
City's maximum points could be 91.

Last season, City won it with 89.
Arsenal came in 2nd with 84.

On the surface, at least points-wise, if that's how it ends up, that will be an improvement. But you'll still finish 2nd. You've yet to learn exactly how hard that is to take mentally and physically, year after year. You're only in your 2nd spin in the 'The best you do still isn't the best you need to do' cycle. This is what Liverpool fans are trying to tell you. Everything below City changes. City doesn't change. They haven't lost a title-winning season with less than 86 points. Arsenal may not even crack that this season. They certainly haven't cracked 90 in the 2 best seasons under Arteta. I'm sure Arsenal fans will point to next season as the one where that will happen, since they've slowly increased their total over the last 2 seasons. So you're going to get what? 91 points next year? And City won't sustain, is that it? They're suddenly going to start plateauing at 88/89 points? I wish you the best of luck with that hope. We've carried it for over half a decade.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

That was a joy to watch. Sadly he wasn't flanked by Mané or Firmino, and ended up playing a shite pass to Nunez.

After my post the other day where I went through his last three seasons of goals, highlighting how hes changed from speed and outside of box/great hard finishes to pens and end of a move tap ins/slots, I thought he was doing it just to spite me.
