man, no offense or anything but this post definitely recalls the old louis ck routine about flying. you just traveled from one side of the earth to the other side of the earth safely flying through the air and hundreds of miles per hour over a gigantic ocean sitting in a chair in a third of day and had three whole hours of inconveniences. that said, i will say that there are few things more psychologically and physiologically challenging (irrationally) to me than landing somewhere and having to just sit on the tarmac for an hour waiting to deboard...especially after a ten hour flight like that. it makes my brain start doing crazy things like imagining murdering everyone on the plane and everyone else i see for the rest of the day. so i hear you. but we are hilariously spoiled that said homicide inducing frustration results from an hour of inconvenience when i just took a trip in ten hours sitting down watching movies that for most of humanity's existence would have taken months and would have resulted in 90% of the passengers dying for various reasons before we got there.

so i have done this quite a bit lately. it depends on what you mean by the "best" way to do it? The easiest way to do it is just buy hospitality. i did that with chelsea and arsenal earlier and it is a cinch. but while it is definitely the easiest approach, it is also the most expensive. i expect fulham wouldn't be that expensive though. so actually, i just went and found it. yeah, hospitality at fulham is not that bad. the matchday plus package for the bournemouth game is only £122.40. I would strongly consider that given how cheap it is. looks like their more posh hospitality packages are unavailable for the bournemouth match. https://www.eticketing.co.uk/fulhamfc/Hospitality/LandingPage just click fixtures and go to bournemouth. easy peasy. you're rolling the dice a little bit with the 18th but obviously, if there are tickets, that would be best. it's fulham and bournemouth so the availability on the 18th may actually be there. you could probably get tickets cheaper but will likely have to go through their fan club that you will have to register for (and likely pay a small fee). you will then be able to access the club's internal resale market which will be cheaper. but just comes down to how much you're willing to pay to avoid the hassle. that is a supercheap hospitality ticket (the chelsea-arsenal ones at stamford were between $700-$1K). also, hospitality usually gets you access to pitchside and other parts of the stadium you wouldn't otherwise be able to access. here is the rundown for that package they have on sale: https://riverside.fulhamfc.com/matchday-plus alternatively, you could just wait for stubhub but always a little more shaky on that front. i don't know if fulham requires you have the members card along with your ticket to enter like the big clubs do. when i went to the real madrid-man city champions league game in madrid in the spring, i had to meet a dude in madrid to get his cards. it was annoying. fulham might not have that though, don't know. but for sure with hospitality or buying a ticket if any are available on 12/18, you don't have to deal with any of that crap.

CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York

i have to say, i have never encountered the surname cianfrocco before. that got my attention. can't imagine there are many of those outside of the northeast united states and italy. -
you have not watched the chaps this year then. qb redefines mediocre and the offense overall is pretty putrid. north shore rolls.

that makes no sense in reality. in the sec years before texas and oklahoma joined in which the conference had 14 teams, the aggies played georgia 1 time total. putting aside the cross division rival matchups with south carolina (which they played 10 times), they played georgia and kentucky 1 time. they played tennessee and vanderbilt 3 times, florida and missouri 4 times. how in the world could that be called a rotational system?

sidis replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
we did not have a timeout, that's correct. and ultimately, because of their motion, we had all 11 guys effectively there in the box but: 1) the lbs and dbs were slow to react; 2) anthony hill took the way wrong gap; 3)53 for uga 100% tackles sorrell from behind, 4) 69 for uga tackles and lays on norton, and 5) collins just gets worked. -

it was the weirdest play of the game. it's like we were confused. dude ran onto the field without moving his arm an inch making it clear that they could do nothing but run it and we looked like we were anticipating a roll out. frustrating. -

man, i hope that burntorange&white and thatguy are at least getting compensated for their efforts in this thread. every single page, bow: everything is quinn's fault and he is a giant pussy. thatguy: everything that is good is because of quinn and everyone else on the teams sucks. random poster drop in: i think quinn may still be hurt. hank hill: everyone is an asshole and i hate you all. you guys are both too extreme. and, as the arbiter of all truth and facts in this universe, you're both right and you're both wrong and you are both too personally invested in your perception. in my opinion, quinn has been playing ghosts since he got back and cannot string together any consistency at all. he's had horrible turnovers against vandy, kentucky, agro, and georgia that have been brutal and put us in very dangerous positions. our defense has bailed us out a lot. much like the baylor game in 2022, quinn was in such a bad place trying to see the game against uk that we literally ran the entire fourth quarter out with zero pass attempts. the passes he made that were picked (and worse still, should have been picked) against georgia were seriously terrible, as was the one against agro (which would have been picked regardless of deflection). against uga, the miss to moore on the flag (corner post) route on second down in the red zone was an all-time horrible pass. the pass to gunnar on the wheel that would have been called back anyway due to the bond pick was exceptionally terrible given how open he was. the decision to go to golden after the first first down in overtime in the back of the endzone was braindead. on 3rd down, wingo is there for a first down and he dumps it to wisner for nothing. he throws off his back foot and lobs balls way, way too much. he has some of the worst footwork in the history of college football. he's also not really a leader or a guy that extracts the most from his guys...no one is running through a wall for quinn ewers. on the other hand, he finally had three exceptionally timed and placed deep balls for the first time in a while against uga...building on a couple of nice ones against agro. and it really opened things up for the offense yardage wise. that's a major positive that i had abandoned all hope for prior to the tamu game. he threw some exceptional mid-range balls against uga over the middle of the field as well that looked routine but are much more difficult than they look...especially against uga...one to bond that was much more impressive than it looked on first glance zipped through an over/under zone bracket, a great read on the moore td and good delivery. while the 4th and 2 pass is relatively routine, he put that fucker on a perfect dime in the clutchest of moments. a real nice ball to helm as well through anticipated coverage windows. the bombs to golden were real nice. he moved about the pocket incrementally better in the seccg than he has in a while (still not great but not like regular season uga, ou, or uk). i will say while most of us are frustrated and want better from quinn, his trending from arkansas through georgia has been positive (with a low point in the second half of uk). he was better against uga...and that's a tough team to be good against when they are such an overwhelmingly bad matchup for a sark offense given that they have four linebackers that run like deer that completely destroy all the rinky dink sideways shit. i think the tamu and georgia games have a lot of positive things to build off of and some seriously braindead shit that nearly killed us. it's quinn's career in a nutshell. but if he keeps up with the turnovers, the teams in the playoffs (including clemson) will punish us in a way that kentucky is not capable. i've said it virtually every week since he's come back: here's hoping we get good quinn. if we can get three quarters of good quinn a game instead of one, we can beat every team in the field. deep down and gun to my head, my true feeling is that if arch had continued to get experience through the schedule, he would probably be a slightly greater net gain to the offense right now. but that shit is pure speculation. he's an unknown quantity and playing well against miss state, ulm, and utsa is not an indicator of performance against georgia and tamu and all of you slobbing over his highlights against shit teams need to chill some. here's to a rested and ready quinn lighting the playoff on fire (one can hope). eta tldr: everyone is right and everyone is wrong. quinn ewers is the duality of humanity in every way. capable of such beautiful dreams and such terrible nightmares. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet

no, for the hypothetical nfl team that does not have a relatively mediocre roster around a transcendent qb. dude, their wrs last year were laughably bad. it was a theme for the entire season. pacheco is a star? he has 55 carries for 234 yards and 1 td...4.3 yards per carry. the very definition of mediocre. they have a solid run defense but their pass defense is 20th in the league. they are in the top half of the league overall. the chiefs are not a star studded roster the last couple of years and, to the entire fucking point being made before getting sucked into this idiocy...their success is almost exclusively derived from hero ball from their quarterback. if you want to debate that, feel fucking free and good luck to you. -

besides mahomes, there are very few players on the chiefs i would pick up from last year or this year. i don't think this is a particularly controversial point. what do you think the chiefs' record is this year with no mahomes? what do you think the chiefs' record is if you trade every player on the chargers for the chiefs but keep mahomes? maybe kelce the exception...and eventually worthy. but to say the nfl doesn't look for hero ball from qbs when this entire century's list of champions has been utterly dominated by two quintessential hero ball qbs is kind of funny. but it is true that nfl gms are all fucking idiots. -

hmmm, if that is true, it is no wonder why the same team keeps winning the super bowl with a relatively mediocre overall roster. -

because it was entirely disingenuous and pointless as it related to your original question. and a dumbass point that we lost to a qb with a lower qb rating than quinn. we did not lose to beck. we lost to stockton and quinn as sad as it is to say. sadly, we are saddled with a mediocre at best qb who can usually put together one quarter of decent play per game and is otherwise a total liability and incapable of making any big plays in the clutch. it sucks. oh well. so many high hopes after the solid performances against okstate and michigan. -

See my edit that you left out of your quote to acknowledge that utterly dumbass point regarding your “honest question.” -
I certainly could not give two fucks less about what he says. But someone was WRONG on the internet and I would not have been able to sleep tonight knowing that. loco, he said it on the Friday morning call in show with that other dipshit he hosts it with on the sec network.

Huh? You compared Quinn’s qbr and Beck’s qbr and said we lost despite better qb play from quinn compared to beck. The last play of the game for Beck was the last play of the first half. When he went out of the game, Texas was winning 6-3. Not sure what you’re confused by. I guess you could argue the overtime handoff but, I mean… -
wrong. he said it straight up dude. he said it before the game on the sec network. he's been bagging on texas all year and said that at the end of the day, he had to root for uga because a first year sec team should have to take their lumps.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
sidis replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
"lost" is being exceedingly charitable my friend. i think tcu in '22 is the only thing you're looking down at. also, if you are saying they had the same record going into the game, that's not right. bama had lost to manziel and notre was undefeated. of course, notre had to vacate the entire season afterwards and ultimately finished 0-0.
