Good idea, we need someone with experience of getting relegated to the 3rd division

More insane videos doing the rounds.

Languishing near the relegation zone, the days of Beppe Signori a distant and fading memory... Some quite evocative names down here - Vicenza, Triestina, Ascoli, Perugia, Catania, Salernitana, Foggia. Some great derbies, shitheap stadiums in cities best known for out of town airports Ryanair flies to, insane fans and moments of brilliance from street smart Neapolitan strikers trying to make the most of their second chance after being released by Serie A clubs.

No doubt Trump has deep daddy issues but he is also typically American in his arrogance, his presentation, his ignorance of and contempt towards other countries and his belief in survival-of-the-fittest in both business and geopolitics. He represents his country well.

Watching highlights on the Italian Serie C youtube channel for a couple of hours while getting through a 2 litre bottle of Euro lager might be the most relaxing way I've ever found to spend a Friday evening.

Per capita we're just below.... Greenland

One of the issues is that Brits don't see themselves yet as a "middle power" in Carney's words. We still like to see ourselves as an almost equal partner in an Anglo-American relationship that deserves to run the world.

Thinking about it I've actually never seen them in the same room

TACO?

I find myself watching more sports I used to quite dislike when I was younger, like athletics or skiing or cycling. You can admire the skill and athleticism without all the hype and bullshit. Elite football, especially in England, is like a lot of aspects of culture that have gone global, a mushy slop with little real identity that is constantly shoved down our throats and seem to exist primarily for people to argue about on social media. Obviously there is more authenticity lower down the leagues but it's mostly unwatchable. At least with the Champions League you know you're going to watch fantastic football so you can put up with the nonsense that goes with it, don't really feel the same for Everton vs Crystal Palace though.

Generally agree and I'm nitpicking here but Fryatt was often a lazy bastard in my memory, especially in 07/08.

A lot of Trump's speech reminds me of Brexiters attitudes towards Europe - you need us more than we need you, we saved you in WWII, be more grateful, you'll fall apart without us. It's basically just a big Anglo hissy fit that the world is changing and people don't look towards Anglo-America to spread peace and prosperity as much as they used to (if they ever did). It's like a middle-aged, booze-addled Eastenders character screaming "you're nuffink wivvout me!" as their partner turns and heads towards the entrance to Walford East underground station, never to return.

oops wrong thread, the danger of multiple tabs.... Totally agree on the exercise by the way...

Where is Tulsi Gabbard by the way?

Special shout out to the leftists that claimed anti-imperialist Trump represented an end to the Democrats forever wars and a break from the 'neoliberal' consensus.

So easy to beat these yet alas we are shit

Verging on unprofessional in all honesty

jesus wept that was shit

I bet she's a pointer like Wellens

Horrific half of football. Ricardo I love him but he's gone

Enjoying Nishko Pivo at the moment which I think is quite good but it could be just because I'm in the beer wasteland of Sofia

Their time at Leicester was so precious they requested not to play against us out of respect

He was the people's hero for sure
