Context is in the Roma thread :lol: moved it under the reply box until I get to do something more well thought, so phone people see it as well as I've noticed a lot of phone users have no idea it exists


The official story if anybody asks is that we're trying to encourage people to watch the games not the stats and highlights
my goofy ahh mod :proud:

Xavi, of ALLL people, complaining about referee decisions. What a moron! Just stay quiet and accept the defeat man. Such a little bitch. Brilliant player, but also a big ass bitch. Always has been. From his playing days. Complaining about everything from the away pitches not being "perfect" for his team to the referees and everything inbetween. Every time he opens his mouth he loses more and more respect from people.

Roger Federer is the GOAT
I will 100% have fond feelings for Pioli regardless of how the season ends.

He found us an absolute shambles and was part of a group including Maldini, Moncada, Ibrahimovic, and Gazidis that brought us back.

It’s clear now that he is incapable of sustaining a high level of success and cannot get us to the next level, but I think in general we will look back fondly. Especially, if someone else comes in and is successful in taking that next step with the foundation all of those guys built.

This is my feeling 100%

However if he loses to Inter on Monday and allows them to win the league after beating us and celebrating in our face, then I’m afraid I might never forgive Pioli for that.

Call me petty or whatever, I won’t be able to forgive such an humiliation. For me, I can forgive many things, hell I’ve already forgiven Pioli for that 1-5 loss to Inter last year.

However, that derby on Monday, that’s my breaking point.

I seriously can’t recall such a thing ever happening. Has Madrid ever mathematically won the league after beating Barcelona? Has United ever done the same after beating Liverpool? Juventus won the league after beating Inter? That’s what we are talking about. I’m surprised people in here aren’t dreading that day.

Is it just an outlier year or has the away goal repeal made the CL a lot more exciting?

Without question it's made teams who have a lead from the 1st leg play more carefree football instead of defending it from the outset in the return match

Yeah same.

I think it's a show that deserves to be taken seriously. Wonderful actors, production and a "sci-fi" plot that hits close to home. Especially after that guy gave some unnerving answers in front of Congress :lol:

I loved it.

It felt a bit like when I watched Westworld season 1. I completely lost that show after the first season, they made a grave mistake trying to build further. Still... The way a show can just burst through the exact same walls of understanding you were struggling with yourself at the time. Not that 3 Body Problem is anything other than a fantasy, but I love how sophisticated the attempt is. The nano-cutting of that cargo ship in the Panama canal? Show me a scene throughout 2024 that tops that.

That cargo ship scene still hunts me :lol: spectacular and horrifying at the same time.

"The contract was there, only few details were missing but then, out of nothing, Felipe Anderson turned down Juves proposal because he didn't like my 'Here we go soon' Tweets."

I'm paraphrasing, but this is what Romano is basically saying here. That's even lower than Andrea Longonis usual "I was so right that I was wrong"-level of desperation.

Nope thats more wide and epic but it is very good. Initial got was confusing.
This is smooth awesome for 5 episodes but they just took a massive off-ramp.

Think about it early got but everybody is on a stage or in Varys’ stories. Acting is insane absolutely top class. Yabushige, Torsnga, iron fist, ishido, both ladies, anjin, Fuji ,courtesans, padres they are putting in insane work.

Also these fuckers like suicide like I love a good gyro.

Tania Moreno our chief marketing officer said

Where you grew up, and where you live now.​

I was born in Cali, Colombia, but spent the majority of my childhood in Miami, and high school in Cincinnati. I now live in Milano, Italy.

Your earliest sports memory.​

My dad watching televised Milan matches on weekends and the two of us watching World Cup matches.

Your favorite sports team(s).​

AC Milan, the US Men and Women teams and the Miami Dolphins

Your favorite athlete(s).​

This is way too difficult. It's like asking me to pick a favorite child.

Your favorite sports show or podcast.​

I used to watch The Dan Patrick Show every day but once they switched to Peacock, Good Morning Football became my morning show while getting ready for work. In terms of podcasts, I'm a fan of SBJ Morning Buzzcast because it gives me the major sports business news in under 12 minutes.

Your favorite sports movie and/or video game.​

Air because it combines my love for sports and marketing.

A recent project you're proud of.​

Our "Giroud as a goalkeeper" stunt. Our goalkeeper got a red card in a game and striker Olivier Giroud ended up as a goalkeeper for a few minutes. He made an incredible save and we won the match. Our team used the opportunity to have a little fun selling a Giroud goalkeeper jersey, which sold out.

Someone else's project that you admired recently.​

Really loved the Ben Affleck and Matt Daemon Dunkin commercial for the Superbowl This was a genius campaign because they ended up selling the shoes and tracksuits. They commercialized it beyond coffee and donuts.


Something coming up for your organization that you are excited about.​

Next season is our 125th anniversary. We have some incredible projects lined up for that.

Yes, he should have gotten much more minutesconsidering all the issues in defence, Thiaw was also criminally handled after his injury. I hope Simic and Zeroli get more playing time after the Rube game
