That team number debate. This is the correct version...

 

1 - Goal-keeper

2 - Right-back

3 - Left-back

4 & 5 - Centre-backs

6 - defensive-minded midfielder

7 - Right winger

8 - forward-minded midfielder

9 & 10 - Strikers

11 - Left winger

 

 

Change 4 with 6 and you're right :thumbup:

"It's a results based business" - I would think most, if not all, businesses are results based, aren't they?

In my porn career i care about putting content out only because i love shaggin fit women. I dont care if it doesnt pay the bills.

When people create threads for posts which would obviously fit into a thread that's already open and right near the top of the forum. Just screams that the OP thinks their opinions are more worthy than others to me.

Yep. I don't wish to play gatekeeper, but sometimes it's fun to pull them up on it with sardonic retort for this very reason.

 

There are some posters on here who are consistently doing it.

A month or so ago I had a recruitment day for my work where we invite a load of candidates to the private room of a bar and give them a couple of exercises to do so we can see their teamwork and leadership qualities in action.  The first thing we do is go around the room introducing ourselves and breaking the ice a bit by naming a famous figure we'd like to sit down and have a coffee with.  I always ask if anybody knows who Nigel Pearson is and one of them actually did!  Good man, I thought, clearly likes his football, first step on the way to being my favourite candidate.  It gets to his turn and he says he'd like to meet Top.  Oh my God.  He's a Leicester fan.  I will do all I can to make sure we hire him, his foot is in the door, he just needs to present himself well and give me relevant ammunition to defend him with.  One of the managers then pointed out to me that the guy is clearly stoned off his face.  I took a second look and his eyes were like 2 cherry tomatoes.  Well, shit.  

 

Now I love a good spliff (I'm going to enjoy my day off with one in just a few minutes as a matter of fact) but fvck me how stupid can you be showing up to a recruitment event stoned?  The result is that there was no way for me or the other 2 stoners assessing the candidates that day to defend the guy to the Area Manager running the event so unfortunately we had to cut him loose at the elimination stage before we did 1 on 1 interviews.  If by any chance that person is a member of this board and you happen to read this:  Please for the love of God let this be a learning moment for you and take job interviews a bit more seriously in future.

The "[insert club] fan coming in peace" opening gambit.

 

It's glib. Meaningless. By the very content of someone's post we can tell whether they're "in peace" or they're here to troll. 

 

And Facebook comments ending their points stating "...from a [insert club] fan!"

 

What? You could be a f**king ceiling fan for all I care.

I guess that just makes people feel like it qualifies their shit opinion.

 

Bit like the 'as a mother' brigade.

Theres a bloke near me who seems to take enjoyment out of mispronouncing names or just giving them entirely new names.

 

Like our new midfielder "Talisman" and our former Algerian striker "Salami".

Fuuuuucking hell that "as a mother" thing winds me right up. As if having given birth qualifies you as anything

 

"As someone who had a belting shit this morning"... That means just as much in the grand scheme of things.

Foie gras. Which is pretty much a dish prepared with duck liver. "What is so bad about Foie gras" you ask? Well it's the Liver of a Duck/goose that's been force fed in a less than gentle way to put it lightly.

 

"the animal welfare concerns about force-feeding, intensive housing and husbandry, and enlarging the liver to 10 times its usual volume. "

 

such a shame that people would choose to eat this "delicacy" without considering how inhuman their food is "produced "

100% agree. Every meat product on sale should carry details and photos of both the terrible suffering the creature endured before its short life was ended and the sadistic method of its termination. Because the public never sees the reality of factory farming, many are in denial about how horrible is it for the animals involved. Consumers of such products are indirectly responsible for animal abuse imo.
