As this seems to have turned into a Cory Doctorow love-in (entirely warranted imo!), figured I'd tell everyone here to read his short story "Unauthorized Bread" if they haven't already done so.
Ah this was a tough one. Went with Vicente in the end, because the very fact he was playing for us at all was FLAIR in and of itself. But it was a Sophie's Choice kind of situation.
Ugh that sucks.
I know it's probably just the result of everyone thinking they've had an original, witty thought and and posting it without checking to see if it's already been posted a million times. And I'm sure Adam knows that too, logically. But it must be awful to post something that's...
There definitely was one on Western Road. Was more-or-less over the road from the old Debenhams shop where I worked for the summer in 1998 or so (when they were shutting down that shop because they'd just opened one in the then-new Churchill Square). Had a lot of burgers for lunch that summer.
It's weird how unbothered I am by this. I was all doom-and-gloom when Potter left, but even though I much prefer RDZ as a manager, the prospect of him leaving is worrying me less. The fact that the club dealt with Potter's departure by finding the perfect guy to pick up the pieces fills me with...
Kinda crazy to think about the likes of Mitoma and Adingra and remember when Kazenga Lua Lua was our top, most exciting flair player.
Absolutely loved him when he played for us though, hope he does well there.
Me and my Sparta-supporting mate have been excited all season about the prospect of our teams facing each other in this competition. All we need tonight is Liverpool 0 - Sparta 5 and Brighton 5 - Roma 0.
Easy.
I don't have much fondness for Trossard, but I still hope he gets the career he wanted. I quite like the fact that he and White are doing well there, Mac's doing equally well at Liverpool, but all the players Chelsea bought from us are struggling to reproduce their Brighton form (to put it...
I thought it was a red, and I thought the decision would definitely be changed to a red when it went to VAR.
But when the (Czech) TV cut from the view I saw first (from the side) to a replay from behind, it looked much less bad than it did at first. The cut and replay was accompanied by the VAR...
Ah okay, that's not how I meant it at all. I actually see it as a positive thing, we've basically got some "bonus prep time" for next season. I really want us to use it wisely, which means getting loads of minutes for players who've had too few.
I mentioned Verbruggen and Beleba, but I'd also...
I got that impression from you replying to my post about how we should use the rest of this season to turn our inexperienced players into experienced players with this:
I didn't say anything about being bored, I didn't say we should sack the manager. I'm baffled that you're putting those kinds...
I'm not really sure what your point is here. Are you saying we're in genuine danger of being relegated this season? That seems like a pretty absurd suggestion, we're on 39 points.
