Nerf

Silly metalman. That's what pens are for.

The funny thing is that Fabinho literally already did this last week, but the English press pay no mind to foreign media.

I don't think people appreciate this enough in fear of disrespecting the past, but Liverpool and City for the last three seasons have been the two best sides the English top flight has seen. No Fergie team was as good as either of these (though granted his biggest strength was adapting to whatever competition he had and doing enough to see them off), the Invincibles weren't as good as either of these, and Mourinho's Chelsea couldn't do what they're doing either. Even the old fellas on the Kop are starting to concede that this side is better than anything we had in the 70s and 80s. It's mental to think that we're almost certainly watching the best Liverpool team ever.

Genuinely wasn't expecting that. Those close to him seemed sure that he wanted to fulfill his current deal and move onto something else (or possibly even retire). Another 4.5 years with him is fucking incredible.

Looks lke Takumi Minamino to Liverpool in January is pretty much a done deal but Lineker didn't start the thread three months early for once.

In what is absolutely bonkers, with Naby Keita's goal, only Lovren and Gomez remain of players to have made a league appearance for us this season and not scored a goal.

Don't worry, if it carries on like this you'll smash them. You're playing like we normally do against them, and they've got a really soft underbelly when you actually go at them.

Second the love for The Host. It's bloody mental and beautiful and horrifying all at once.

18 x 2 = 36. How many teams have 36 players good enough to try and win a competitive match? None, probably.

Can someone explain how this is in any way offside. VAR is a fucking nonsense.

Bit disingenuous that, isn't it? They haven't won an away game in the league this calendar year, just conceded 7 at home, and are currently trailing by two to a lower half side. Pochettino surely won't survive to see November. He's clearly lost the dressing room. Make that three...

Levy's got a big decision to make...

Late September - Early October is what's floating around at the minute.

Oh, I have another one that may be a little unpopular, but fast travel in open world games. I understand the convenience and how it may alleviate the more boring part of such games, but I realised recently that in the last few years I've become far too reliant on it and have actively had to make a conscious effort to avoid using it. Part of this realisation was that some of my favourite gaming memories come from getting lost in a world or the chance encounters you have along the way. I'm having much more fun just exploring and getting sidetracked with a vague destination in mind. Feels far less robotic than just going from Point A to Point B, and I'm finding a lot more value in games as a consequence.

Unplayable broken pieces of shit being released because the devs can just patch it later.

No surprise we're playing Chelsea in April/May for what must be the 10th year in a row.

There wouldn't be any FFP violation. They've barely spent (in relative terms) for the last 5 years, and they're the commercial giant of football. They have a bottomless pit of legitimate money to spend.

Well, they went from 8th to 17th in the span of a year, and the only consistent first team player they lost in that time was VVD. Though there is perhaps an argument that their managerial appointments after Puel were equally to blame.

Consistently top half. So, yeah, you can see the difference he's made in not being there anymore.

GRRM's a weird one. He's quite clearly a genius in terms of plot devices and storytelling and character/world building, but his writing is downright god awful at times. He seems to be from the school of thought that "more is more" and definitely would have benefited from using a particularly harsh copy editor.

Well, they got the first half of the episode perfectly right. The second half... not so much.

Are they, though? Chelsea and Spurs are on pace for 74 and 73 points respectively, which sounds about right for 3rd and 4th. I think the perception is just worse because the bad form seems to have come all at once for everybody, and the top two being ridiculous have made the league table look so distorted.

I mean, fair play to Spurs but fucking hell I really wanted to play Ajax.
