  1. Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Russia has to agree to the conditions of the ceasefire, no? Otherwise they just continue fighting. And why wouldn’t they? Since the US has basically pulled out of helping Ukraine and has piled all the political pressure (publicly too) on them, what is the incentive for Putin to climb down for...

  2. WWF style wrestling at corners.

    Such a simple fix isn't it? Neither defenders nor attackers allowed, exactly like in penalty kicks with players entering the penalty box only after the kick. Defenders breaking the rule should lead to a retake or an indirect free kick from inside the box, while attackers breaking the rule leads...

  3. The Trump Presidency : Part 2

    Columbia, tow the line.... A dim-witted, purely-educated, chest-beating, corrupt, criminal family at the helm of the US government with the approval of the populace. What a timeline! PS. No one, not even America, can last and prosper without the support of friends & allies. Even imperialist...

  4. Alejandro Garnacho (out) | Chelsea make enquiries

    I can see him leaving eventually, but certainly not now and especially not for the money being mentioned. There are no good alternatives in January and we have other priorities in terms of getting people out of the door. Namely Rashford and Antony who contribute absolutely nothing.

  5. The Housing Crisis (UK)

    Just for clarification, I was talking about Software Engineering a.k.a the tech sector. Which is supposedly "well paid". The UK is to be avoided like the plague, unless you have no better options and come from a country in an even worse state. There's a reason that post-Brexit all the...

  6. The Housing Crisis (UK)

    First off, all that stuff applies for London only. And relative to London cost of living and taxes, I don't think it has kept up for them either. I hear laywers are now getting paid a bomb, because a lot of US law firms are moving into the UK market and pay obscene (by UK standards) amounts. The...

  7. Post match vs Arsenal

    :lol:

  8. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    I'm bemused at how you think Bruno (who has played as AM during his whole career with us and been consistently one of our best players) doesn't have the right qualities to play as AM all of a sudden. I think that's the essence of our disagreement, basically. I think we have a very good, proven...

  9. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    We'll have to agree to disagree. Bruno's not been struggling. The reason he's started in CM (in literally 2 games btw, vs Arsenal and City) was precisely because of the number of options we had at LAM (where we have given time to Rashford, Garna, Zirkzee, and Mount) comparative to the...

  10. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    Yeah but they are distinct positions, like LWB and RWB. You don't see Amad on the other side, for example. Kvara would come as a LAM. And specifically for the LAM position, yes we are absolutely stacked atm. Or at least we have enough quality and depth that other positions need prioritising...

  11. Does Amorim squat too much?

    Aren't you at risk of prolapsing, squating like that for extended periods?

  12. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    There's no 10 role in Amorim's system. There's LAM and RAM. Even if you discount Garna as a LAM (which I don't agree with) there's still Fernandes and Mount. LWB, CM, CF and even GK should be miles ahead as priorities than LAM.

  13. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    Disagree with the assessment. How you can have watched the game against Liverpool and come up with the assertion that he's pretty awful at LAM is beyond me. He indeed can't dribble, but not every AM needs to be a dribbler. He has a good shot on him, especially coming from the left, and he...

  14. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia | PSG agree 70m deal

    In contrast to the most commonly held opinion in here, I don’t really see the need for Kvara or any LAM really. First off, I believe Fernandes is a very intelligent player and a very good choice for LAM. He showcased that against Liverpool. Secondly we have Mount who Amorim rates highly and we...

  15. US Politics

    A very good, free-to-read, article by Norman Matloff (an emeritus professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis) titled: "How the H-1B System Undercuts American Workers" Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with the compactmag, but I fished it out of a conservative subreddit and...
