    9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

    If only he weren’t paid so well, eh?! Give your head a wobble, mate, because (and I hate to mention it to you) City signed a contract to give him €XXX a week for a reason, and as top scorer by a country mile, I’d suggest he’s fulfilling his end of the deal. Now, if you want to step away from...

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

    Do you mean Golden Boot winner both seasons in the PL and in the running (robbed last year!) for the Ballon D’Or? THAT standard?!

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    Exactly. Sadly, in this instance, I believe in the freedom of people to say what they want. However, it’s the algorithms that DRIVE INFLUENCE that I have the problem with. That is manipulation of speech via hidden agenda.

    Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Seeing the comments so far, it feels like a silver lining us needed in this particular dark cloud, so I’ll give it a shot. Thought that for the first 35 minutes, bar the odd wobble, we were in our game, moving the ball well, keeping Haaland engaged and looking very dangerous, even though we...

    Arrogance of wealth FORCED him to have to buy Twitter after his mouth got him in trouble. The courts weren’t having his buyers remorse, so some of his Tesla stock bought it. Now, it’s a cesspit.

    The “genius,” if there is any, in Trump is that he tells you what will happen, but shapes it so you believe he is omniscient! He knows he is going to go against the norms of society, so he tells you it’s not abnormal, but the liberal media are going to lie about it because they’re against...

    Putin is not afraid of Trump and there’s no way he takes one backwards step from where they are today in Ukraine. Zelenskyy is the one with the weak hand, because it’s reaching out to Trump with an open palm…and that comes at great cost to a megalomaniacal tyrant. Crimea, is, was, and probably...

    Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

    To be honest, I think Pep is being a little precious. If, after almost a decade here, and with the complete backing of the club and the owners, he doesn’t REALLY know what he wants to do next season, then WTAF? I think he enjoyed a great relationship with Txiki, and I have no idea what he...

    Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Sat 9th Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match

    Welcome. Might I politely suggest getting your feet wet by following a few different threads before jumping in with both feet? It will help you understand the both the tone and tenor of the various threads, what is taken seriously and what devolves into puns and laughter, and what the (too...

    Republicans have zero need to give Dems ANYTHING to stop a shutdown and will point to it as the final nail in the coffin of the Biden Debacle. They will be able to clean it up the hour after Trump is inaugurated, but their way. Look out below!!!

    Spent my last 24 hours reading as much opinion as possible to see what others think, and where they think the train derailed. There are 3 MASSIVE takeaways: 1) Merrick Garland allowed Trump this time and space, when he should have moved less glacially to indict him. Now, just as sentencing and...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    From Jon Meachem, albeit not his own work: “Americans do the right thing only once we have exhausted every other possibility.” America does nothing until it’s a crisis. Let’s see how long after Jan 20 (if it takes that long) before we have one. Then, let’s see if Trump is capable of “doing the...

    Not saying thank you to courteous motorists

    Many moons ago I figured I’d do my initial check out on the 747-400 to somewhere I wouldn’t be flying from Chicago, so I picked Vietnam! It was certainly an experience, a highlight being the girls on mopeds who circle you, then one gets off, starts trying to fondle you, hoping you’ll move your...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    I think that’s fair. The problem seems to be the balance is waaaay off between interesting expert and conspiracy theorist/bullshitter! I’ll give you one guess which category Trump fell into!

    Huh? Do you mean the 13M that didn’t vote for her, but did for Biden? If so, they forgot just how badly they wanted Trump out 4 years ago, and didn’t “feel” Harris, I guess.

    Not saying thank you to courteous motorists

    It is virtually non-existent in the States, but then so is good driving. I was literally almost in a 4 car pile up on my way to the airport tonight when a brand new jacked up Ford Bronco didn’t follow the lines during a turn at the traffic light! She clearly didn’t know where she was going...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    I think it was more “Joe Rogan” that caught the ire, not “podcast.” The guy is an uber-bro, who sits around shooting the shit while smoking stogies and alluding to conspiracy theories. Every once in a while, you find a nugget, a good quote, or even some semblance of insight, but rarely...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    The term “barriers to entry” is common here and, while I can see where you’re going, I’m merely referring to the reality in the ground here. I live in an executive bedroom community which is the first stop on the Express train in the city. The towns along that rail line are all expensive Chicago...
