  1. If money is no object, I wonder if the Saudis approached any of the bigger boys, prior to deciding on Newcastle. Why start from scratch if you can buy pre-built?
  2. I think that is the first time I've ever seen a second yellow/red card given for time-wasting on a throw in. WTF?
  3. Scotland are hopeless. Fuck fuck fuck. Had that cued up to post after they missed the penalty. They do make hard work of it. But exciting to watch.
  4. It came to mind when Trump went to visit his already-collapsing wall a few months back, and it's stuck around ever since with the never-ending series of governmental cluster-fucks we've had to endure.
  5. I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." — Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias"
  6. Played the full 90 vs Libya, appears to have escaped unscathed.
  7. Is too bad they killed Qadaffi. Just imagine the third kits.
  8. "Hunger Ward" A 40 minute documentary about children starving in Yemen. It will stay with you if you decide to watch it.
  9. As meaningless international fixture bloat goes, France beating Belgium 3-2 with a last minute goal has been fairly entertaining.
  10. Why are the other clubs allowing this? What's in it for them--do they get a cut of the purchase price? For the lower level clubs another minted customer for the players they develop, I suppose. But mid-table up, why would you want another ownership group with whom you can't compete financially?
  11. Mississippi Grind Ben Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds in a road movie about two gamblers. I really enjoyed it, as I like both actors. If you don't, you probably won't. Reminded me of a movie from the '70s--Scarecrow, 5 Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Midnight Cowboy, etc.
  12. They all know Salah goes to his left, so that's what they're waiting for. He picks (what should have been) the key moment of a huge match to remind them that he has a right peg as well. And now every defender is going to have that in the back of their mind for the rest of the season.
  13. The first little move he made to go around whichever one of them it was who dove in, and then the shot in off the post with his wrong foot.... I mentioned in the "Other Football" thread how shite the finishing has been in the matches I've watched lately. In part due to players afraid to take clear chances with their wrong foot. If there's better out there, I haven't seen it.
  14. The rictus grin on Crackle's mug there at the end. Priceless. Dead man walking? Probably not, but that was another woeful display in front of the home supporters.
