  1. Honestly, I think I'd have been the same if I wasn't using a mod that gets rid of the companion limit. It does make things easier (though not a cakewalk) but I feel like I've enjoyed the game more by having everyone in my party.
  2. I find the idea Chelsea need a goalkeeper downright hilarious. They've signed four keepers since Boehly came in, all of which have played at least one first team game and still have Kepa under contract still as well. And they don't like any of them? At all?
  3. They saw that Greek football will be played without fans until March due to a brawl at a volleyball game and went 'hold my beer'.
  4. If it's structured this way, will that factor into the Dodgers cap for 2034 onwards?
  5. Eldritch blast is probably the best early offensive spell.
  6. The magic of the cup indeed. Watch a slate of Premier League games from 2013.
  7. Villa are massive. League must be on double figure ACL tears for the season at this point.
  8. This is garbage by Rockstar, but not unexpected.
  9. As a Plymouth Argyle fan, I will take credit for both of those - we beat Sunderland at the weekend, and Swansea would've been fine if they'd kept Morgan Whittaker rather than selling him to us.
  10. All the more reason to embrace chaos and claim the FCS winner is the only true national champion.
  11. According to Sheffield United's (Saudi prince) owner, he's improved as a manager since he left Sheffield United. I must've missed that when he was fumbling the bag at Middlesbrough and getting relegation form results with Watford.
  12. I don't get why you'd turn to Wilder, given his pretty terrible record in the Championship since he left Sheffield United the first time. Reeks of either running out of ideas or hope (or both) to try and survive this season.
  13. FSU being left out is a fitting end for what's a pretty terrible playoff format. I guess 12 teams is better but if it's still being decided by committee you're still going to get teams left out for what feels like spurious reasons.
  14. If he sees three Spurs players around Grealish he's well within his rights to decide there is no advantage and bring it back. The only 'mistake' he makes is hesitating - he initially goes to blow his whistle, then indicates advantage, then whistles. That's a relatively small mistake compared to say... Erling Haaland missing an open goal to put Man City 2-1 up, which has ultimately cost them victory. City fans and players won't examine that though, because they can blame the ref for not playing on. Right but what they want doesn't really matter. They got what they were allowed under the rules - ref doesn't have to play advantage at all, ever. And rather than deal with that, take the free kick and play on, you get most of Man City's team surrounding the ref that if any other team did it, they'd be charged and fined.
  15. The referee has played that correctly. He's under no obligation to let Grealish run through, especially if he thinks he's offside or if he sees that there are three players around him, which there are. At that point, there is no advantage gained by playing on and he has to bring it back. It's good refereeing that everyone will call a mistake because they want to see a last gasp winner.
  16. Wales won't get there, Estonia strong.
  17. I was so upset that I finished .500 that I moved the Angels out of Los Angeles Anaheim and to a new city: I'm sure it'll go well.
  18. 2023 Astros on a casual 26 game winning streak.
  19. It is now 44 races since Ross Brawn said that 'mid-table teams will be fighting for wins in 2022'. In that time, Red Bull have won 38 races, Ferrari 5 and Mercedes 1.
  20. Incredible. How's he managed to get Chiellini on?
  21. If Swansea had kept Morgan Whittaker, they'd be in the playoff fight.
  22. Sure, same with United. But I imagine they may have voted with that in mind.
  23. Surprised it was only 7 given that there's a lot more than that involved in multiclub ownership: Arsenal owners: 2 clubs Villa owners: 4 clubs Bournemouth: 3 clubs Brentford: formerly 2 clubs, now 1 Brighton: 2 clubs Chelsea: 2 clubs Palace: 4 clubs Everton: 8 clubs including minority stakes Man City: 12 clubs Man Utd: 3 clubs including minority stakes Newcastle: at least 5 clubs Forest: 2 clubs Sheffield: 5 clubs Spurs: formerly 5 clubs, now 1 Wolves: 1 club, linked to takeovers of others Shoutout Enic for being early pioneers in multiclub ownership - they owned stakes in 5 clubs starting in the 90s.
