    Favourite Sportsman of All Time !

    Greg Maddux Ken Griffey Jr. Both baseball, which was my sport as a kid growing up in the 90s.

    Computer games.

    Oxenfree 2 just came out. Never played either of them, but a good friend is working at that studio now, so I'll plug Oxenfree 2 on that basis alone. Somehow had never heard of the first one.

    Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

    Game started at 4:30 AM local time. I saw from about 30 minutes on, but I have weird sleep habits.

    2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    Pretty sure that would result in overtraining and aggravating the injury. Rest and recovery is an important aspect of getting back to fitness. Who cares what he does whilst resting?

    ESPN bids for US Premier League rights

    Yeah, fair - we also cut cable years ago and have been watching that bill slowly inch back up as new services come online. We have both Hulu+ and Peacock to watch the Prem, so I can watch NBCSN/NBC on Hulu and whatever spillover is on Peacock. I would prefer to see that unified to a single...

    ESPN bids for US Premier League rights

    Doesn't Peacock show all the matches that aren't on cable? Peacock is rad because it has weird sports like biathlon and athletics competitions on it...with no commentary. It's intoxicating. I loathe ESPN and have overall been happy with NBC's service....not super excited about the potential...

    Best crisps

    These are very good. The real answer for U.S based crisps is: On the whole, this thread is correct, U.S. based crisps are mediocre to terrible regardless of how much I love them.

    Champions League revamp

    Personally think these clubs vastly overestimate the power of an individual club brand over the brand of a league or association. I don't know the numbers, but it certainly seems like English football has grown wildly over the past few years with traditional powers such as United and Arsenal...

    Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

    There is the element of finances here (as in major league baseball), but I think you're over-egging the idea that City fans should be bored of winning. Liverpool took them last year. Once Pep goes? Entirely possibly they go all Chelsea and start swinging year by year again. Do you think City...

    Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

    Feel like this focuses too much on the "should happen" and the prediction side and the entertainment angle of the whole affair. Sports are entertainment, I get it. But they're also a different form of entertainment where the "best" or "right" or "most exciting" thing doesn't always happen...

    “The Negativity From The Fans Doesn’t Affect The Players”

    There's a difference between constructive and sometimes harsh criticism from your manager and personal abuse hurled by fans. It's not necessary to attack someone personally to explain how they could improve at their job.

    The Travel Thread, V2.0

    I like to drive. I've done the US cross-country drive 5 times in the past 5 years: Raleigh -> Seattle; Seattle -> Raleigh; Raleigh -> LA; LA -> Raleigh; Raleigh -> LA At this point I'm working on all 50 states. I have 39? Maybe 40. Of those Montana and New Mexico stand out as wildly underrated...

    2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

    I think this is where I say "agree to disagree", my friend. I think in an ideal team you actually COULD switch between those formations on the fly, because that would be best. But it requires supremely intelligent footballers that are well trained and communicate incredibly well to handle that...

    2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

    I don't disagree with this point but I think it's important for the players to be able to play in multiple ways as well. I think there will always be times we need to adjust to the opposition...not having "Plan B" has been the death knell of a few Everton managers. I think we can easily see we...

    2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

    Why do the players we have now need to learn to play a system that they'll be turfed out of at our first opportunity? Does DCL really learn how to play that system if his service is coming from Iwobi, Bernard, and Sigurdsson - all of whom would go away in the ideal world? What benefit does...
