  1. Potter's story reminds me of a similar Greek situation many years ago. It's the year 1968. The manager of AEK Athens is the legendary Jene Chaknady. This German-Hungarian manager is an absolute myth and he is the best ever manager to manage a Greek team. AEK win the league for 1967-78 handsomly. Yet Chaknady is sacked, They sacked him because he asked for a pay rise. In comes Jugoslav Branco Stankovic, who also was a big name in Jugoslavia. But the fans are cursing him - they want their hero back. This coupled with some strange player contract terminations makes everyone very angry. But Branco Stankovic knew his job. Rebuilds the team, manages to reach the stage of eight in the champions cup (incredible for Greece those years). So he too becomes one of the club legends. In the Potter tragedy, Thomas Tuchel is in the role of Jene Chaknady. But Potter ? He 's been in the club for several months -since the 9th of September 2022- and Chelsea look like an amateur side. He managed to win the champions league group against inferior opposition (Zagreb-Salzburg and what remains of AC Milan). Also some spurious wins such as against Crystal Palace and Leeds. His opponents were wrong at first because Potter had nothing to do with Tuchel's dismissal, but now ;
  2. A bombardier tripler caproni with an F-35. But we won the champions league and they have n't.
  3. If we are not alone does not disprove creation by any means. Equivalently the medieval people could say "if Magellan finds any human life in the pacific islands it proves there was no creation". But there are some things logic cannot prove or disprove in the absence of observation. If I was counting the votes cast in an American election and if the first vote is for Bill Clinton what does it prove ? Nothing. But if I say "Clinton wins" mathematically it is a statement with 100% certainty and 0% confidence. It is meaningless to say "Clinton looks like winning" from one vote. Or the other thing. With my car I am moving into a town I never visited before. I 'm in the suburbs and suddenly a yellow bus flashes by. The bet is "does this yellow bus belong to the town's bus fleet or is it one of a kind ?". Who knows ? There is no clever guess. It could be the town's transport buses are yellow or it could be the bus for the workers of a factory and it's one of a kind.
  4. We can't play any ball in the vicinity of the semicircle. Absolutely zero - nada - μηδέν. I watched PSG against Nantes (4-2). Nantes is different quality to Leeds-Spurs-the rest perhaps but they are mid table in La Ligue. PSG have a fantastic knack with this sort of football - entering the box with one touch football from the semicircle. Mbappe in the wings does n't generally take part in these movements but it's the genius of the short one of course that helps.
  5. Against Spurs with Taylor. But it was only the last ten-twelve minutes, understandable if you are one up against any opposition. This was 35 minutes of desperation. Potter must go - this was equivalent to a 0-3 defeat against any medium sized team.
  6. So has been Iguain. Auba is useless.
  7. Grimsby played better against Southampton.
  8. We can't reach their area. Only once with Felix. Kai's chance was a counterattack and Fofana's chance was from a corner.
  9. Real Madrid struck a Potter spot yesterday. 90 minutes of pressure but they did not create a single chance - Van Der Stegen had an easy day. The only two chances fell to Barcelona, the goal and another one late in the game.
  10. Life outside configuration space, is a possibility - the aliens are wave space forms. But slow motion life no.
  11. So you believe there is slow motion life. Ok the machines can live for millions of years -if they are machines- but communication issues are the same. Unless you believe in slow motion life but at the same time possessing the ability to travel through space. My always hypothetical invasion is not speculative. But I agree it's not necessarily so. They may also be friendly.
  12. This is unlikely, that we are alone But the distances are prohibitive. So I believe that instant communication is also unlikely but emigration is possible with super-high space technology. This therefore means on the one hand there are n't many travelers and on the other hand they are potential hostile. The reason why they spy America may be a valid reason indeed, not that the Americans watch too many movies. They know America is the world's arsenal so they want to find out what our weapons are. France-Germany-Italy-UK are second string so they don't care. Russia-China maybe are watched too, but as those are super-secretive states they are not informing us of events.
  13. On second thought I reject the asteroids, also the nuclear weapons. The asteroids will destroy the earth's atmosphere, like they did last time. The dinosaurs were not killed by the asteroid -except the local ones. Thet were killed by the atmosphere. So as the aliens are (likely) hostile immigrants they want the planet to be in good condition, like now. They don't want to destroy it.
  14. Another thing the aliens could do is divert a school of asteroids and use them to kill earth before actually disembarking. If we can divert asteroids as was demostrated recently they can do it better because they have more advanced means of propulsion and of course the explosives needed to change the path of the asteroids/comets. After that they can initiate a new cycle of life according to their specifications.
  15. To lighten the crazy atmosphere: https://fb.watch/iZVOTxt1dU/
  16. If Arteta is some kind of exception what does that prove ?
  17. Amazing. Well, I could ask for compensation from a company if I was sacked and it was n't my fault but the result of some external problems but if it was because of me failing to do the job they would n't pay me my tickets home.
  18. This Chelsea team cannot score a goal even if they enter the pitch with a court order. Why ? We really must try to pinpoint why, as the manager apparently can't. I can think of only four players who could readily solve this problem: - Mbappe - Vinicious - Messi, four years younger if you like - Eden Hazard, partly, also four years younger Never mind those players are beyond the scope of Chelsea to buy them, I 'm just saying if. I don't mention players of past generations because football was different, easier for the attackers. About Haaland I 'm expressing some doubts if he could n't find the free spaces he finds with City. With the above even Potter would have no problem to get results. But are the various players we have now so decidedly inferior, all of them ? This can't be. My opinion is the movement of the ball is to blame (the lack of) and Potter seems unable to improve the work rate of the team. What do you think ?
  19. It's not all due to Potter but the man is unrelated to football. You want him sacked ? Turnout against Leeds 3500 spectators.
  20. I thought it was tomorrow against Dortmund but it is next week. Plenty of time to sack Potter.
  21. I 'm concentrating on the players who are supposed to operate inside the penalty area. Not Mudryk, not Ziyech even as I 'm unhappy with them as well. When inside the area we resemble Sahara desert - any opposition has the clean sheet guaranteed.
  22. From the main suspects - the attack line, Havertz is of course useless, Enzo was very poor today and Sterling is also useless. Those moves Sterling attempts would probably work against an amateur side -Lamia, Ionikos of Greece- but not in the premier league.
  23. Boehly probably thinks he can turn him into Chelsea's Matt Busby.
