  1. COYS!!!
  2. Nah, according to the standings aggy won 37 games and there were 5 ties.
  3. Take the L pussies.
  4. Ugh. Equalizer at the start of stoppage time.
  5. Happy Thanksgiving all! Good first half against Roma! COYS!!!
  6. I never realized that the first film was such a shit show going in - they were writing the script on the fucking fly, improving a ton and a few plot points came up from moments the actors ad libed. I posted a video talking about it over here:
  7. I hadn't seen this about the first Gladiator movie. With the release of Gladiator 2 last weekend, this seems to have good timing. I am intrigued to see where he goes with this chapter as this is part 1 of at least 2 or more.
  8. The last time I was in London I stayed at The Dilly, I don't think it's a Marriott property, so we paid for that one - https://www.thedillylondon.com/
  9. Just to take this a touch further - the 1995 novel was a follow up to a 1939 movie which itself was adapted from a Broadway play in 1902 and a book from 1900. Even THAT book has been considered by some to be an allegory for political, monetary and social issues if it's time, many which still resonate today.
  10. Despite everything everyone is telling me - they are still JUST CARS. No matter the name, the rules are the same.
  11. This is the real crux of the argument - most people learn to keep their mouth shut when they don't fully understand something. Elon loves to bump his gums when he really doesn't know shit. Hell, he talks loudest about the stuff he doesn't know at all. Elon would be Stinger's worst nightmare with his mouth writing checks his body really can't cash.
  12. It's not an either/or proposition. They both serve a purpose. Sometimes you need an F35, sometimes you need drones, sometimes you need something else. To boil it down to a black and white issue just shows you really don't know what you are talking about.
  13. I disagree. He was a bad coach that did very average (ok that’s right). His teams failed to get any sort of signature wins/results. For their flaws, Arena and Bradley both got some signature results. You talk culture - I think that Gregg left that in far worse shape than ever with the US team being softer than I have ever seen them. When he left the team had no chip on their shoulder, they would get punched in the mouth and back down. As noted we’re well beyond what most US coaches can do here. The names listed, except for Gregg, did something for US Soccer. But our player pool has grown such that those coaches cant coach the talent they would be given. We need guys with more diverse ideas.
  14. Just when he was out there killing himself preparing for NC State.
  15. The damn shame is that the federation not only thought "We can go with an American coach" but that they did it TWICE!!! The second time after said coach proved that he was in WAY over his head. I said it on another site, but we are now well past the point where American coaches outside of a select few will be able to take this team to the next level. I hope that this time under Poch shows the USSF that we need to play a style that takes advantage of our talent in a way that allows us to go toe to toe with anyone and we can't settle for American coaches unless they are tactically diverse.
  16. Recommended read https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-postecoglou-man-city-b1196103.html Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou handed familiar problem after another statement Man City win From sublime to ridiculous has been the story of Spurs’ season so far The article touches on a lot of things. But the real key, IMHO is that Spurs are not yet ready to dominate teams they dictate play on. They play with teams that play open (see Man City over the weekend), they struggle with teams that bunker in.
  17. Well that's fucking great. We bitch about him being soft and now we're going to be without him for a few months. Hope they do the right thing and spend some money in the winter transfer window.
  18. Some semi's too (ducks, to avoid decapitation).
  19. Something about apples not falling far from trees.
  20. Who's sitting in the front row and who's sitting in the back - I'm SHOCKED.
