Flat performance against Spurs. Diet Pep seems to be lacking a bit of fizz. They don't seem to have progressed much in the year he's been in charge.

I'd guess a motorbike taxi guy who moonlights for Grab/FoodPanda for some extra cash. I can sympathize with him. Why should he have to pay for other people's poor lifestyle choices? Probably not the smartest thing to post it on social media though.

Actually that was my exact point. Maybe re read my post. I said that men will always beat women but that the women's game relies more on skill than power and I like it for that. Seriously, read my post (slowly - three times). These strawman arguments are so tiresome.

Just another left wing loon obsessed with Trump. Plenty of them around. ???? "The Ugly Tyrant Clown"? I do hope it didn't take her too long to come up with such a witty nickname. ????

Those watches aren't cheap. Got to cut back somewhere...

Sounds like China's real estate market is going down the swanny.

Should be put in the lower leagues for a year or two. Even that would be generous. If I got things so horribly wrong in my job I'd be sacked.

I would have thought that games like chess would be one of the few that women could complete against men. Maybe not win, but at least be competitive. I wonder why they can't? In sports where strength is a key factor it is totally ridiculous of course, as proven recently when a trans woman lifted 200 (yes two hundred) kilos more than the second place finisher.???? https://nypost.com/2023/08/16/canadian-powerlifter-april-hutchinson-reacts-to-biological-male-anne-andres-breaking-womens-national-record/ Best to just keep it simple and ban all trans women from womens sport before we end up with a situation where a biological male legally kills a biological female in a boxing ring on national TV in the name of "diversity". Sounds like something from that 80's movie "Running Man" with Arnie.

Yes it's laughable to compare the quality. A low level Welsh team of men beat the USA women world champions 12-0. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12151485/Wrexham-Red-Dragons-knock-Women-Soccer-Tournament-beating-12-0.html Like I said previously, once you drop below the VERY top level of the women's game the quality is awful whereas the men's game has strength in depth, a 4th tier team from the English leagues would probaby score double figures against every women's national team. However, that doesn't mean that women's football can't be enjoyed. It's just different, much slower, more space etc. It actually reminds me of some men's games from 30-40 years ago when the focus was more on skill and less on physicality/pace which is actually a good thing IMO. Some modern day players in the men's game (especially the Premier League's weaker sides) are great physical specimens in terms of strength and pace but have very little skill and their first touch is so bad that their second touch tends to be a tackle.

Great result for England. Women's football is much like women's boxing. At the very top level it is a decent quality and quite watchable (I am a big fan of Chantelle Cameron) but dip below that and it drops off very fast and resembles a Sunday morning pub team. I watched the first 20 minutes of Sweden vs Japan and it was awful, like an under 14's game (I ended up turning it off) but I have to say this game was pretty good and the goals scored were of a high quality (especially England's first goal) so kudos to the English women and it's good to see the women's game progressing. I'll certainly watch the final on Sunday, but I'll have to turn the BBC commentary off - I don't know where they got these women commentators from but they seem to be doing a poor impersonation of male commentators (they have the Elizabeth Holmes fake deep voice and all the usual football cliches) and it's as irritating as fingernails being scraped down a blackboard. Good luck to England for Sunday.

Well, you can read the title of the thread (slowly) if you need clarification but I can confirm that is was essentially a dislike of all non natives. Didn't matter if you were a tourist or a long term stayer. They didn't seem to mind my 20 year old, English, slim girlfriend with long blonde hair. But they seemed to especially dislike white Americans. Can't imagine why, they are such gracious travellers you barely notice they are there ????. I'm sure they'll accept their donations though...

While I respectfully disagree I have to commend you for choosing the correct platform for posts and opinions like that. Let's wait for the trial and hope the courts are not politically biased. Nobody wants to see the US sink further towards the developing world's system of justice where political enemies are eliminated at the hands of corrupt judges.

More vague, indeterminate statements to imply a superior level of knowledge. I can only hope it doesn't entail structuring paragraphs and using punctuation. ????

You clearly don't understand the context of my comment and have no idea what I think AI is. I was simply taking the mickey out of another poster who I know to be left wing by insinuating that it is an immature political ideology that AI will "grow out of". It wasn't meant to be taken literally as confirmation of the abilities of AI to change political philosophy over time. Now, stop using broad, vague statements to pretend to appear to be an expert on all things AI. You sound like Elizabeth Holmes "dumbing down" things for her audience when she clearly didn't have a clue herself ????.

Ummmm - actually my comments were not meant to be taken literally ????. Think of them more as a metaphor.

What mess? Our economy is outperforming Germany's. ???? https://www.farsnews.ir/en/news/14020525000481/Germany's-Ecnmy-Prjeced-Sall https://news.sky.com/story/uk-economy-grows-by-0-2-ons-figures-show-12937676 Now the Netherlands has also entered recession. https://www.dw.com/en/netherlands-dips-into-recession-after-strong-covid-rebound/a-66551394 It's about time you realized the "mess" was merely a prediction by Remainers. What materialized was nothing of the kind. And it's only been 3 years, during which there was Covid and war in Ukraine. Another 5 years and we'll be even stronger. Mess? Hardly.

Snappy comeback.

Half Man Half Biscuit.

I never said it was your truth. It was your opinion. Misguided again. Condemnant quo non intellegunt.

Inept then. The UK cannot stop the French allowing them onto the boats. We've already paid them for the job. We can't fix their incompetence.

Like many of your thoughts, misguided and clouded by a false air of superiority.

AI is still in it's infancy. If it were a human it would be a spotty 16 year old that thinks it knows everything. Once it matures, it will undoubtedly drop the silly left wing bias and move towards the right like most mature adults do (present company excepted).

So imaginative. Never heard that one before. Bravo. No mention of Unicorns? I'm disappointed in you. Moving away from inane, repetitive catchphrases, given the figures I linked to either they are inept or they are deliberately allowing them onto the boats. Placeholder believes they are inept. I believe they are deliberate allowing them onto boats. And you?

Strawman. I was reply to the post suggesting he should be locked up prior to his trial because everyone knows he must be guilty anyway. Now I know that's what you'd really like, but you could at least pretend to believe in due process for everyone irrespective of political leanings. It would make you sound more credible.

Prayut succeeded in putting the proles firmly back in their place and destroying any remaining pretense of Thailand being a Democratic country. He also siphoned off billions for himself and his uber rich pals. Apart from that, he failed.
