Spike

That's because black guys have the worst hair texture imaginable. The way it grows causes ingrown hairs to develop very easily. The hair follicle is so different to the point that black men should (often don't because they don't know) use different shaving techniques and different razor blades. The closer the shave (i.e. more blades in the razor) the worse the bumps will be.

I kinda wish Willian scored from that pivoting shot. Would have been awesome.

So is it potential or definite?

That's a pretty lazy answer as well. Potentially Costa could score fifty goals in the remaining games. No, the players are at fault for playing bad and Mourinho is at fault for exasperating the situation.

Not exactly a great example...

In what way is four major changes to the starting XI not a lot?

That's a lot of transfers.

A team has to get to cup finals before a player can even dream of scoring in semis and finals. Thierry Henry could do everything and waiving his entire Arsenal career because of a few lost finals is nonsense.

@Tomo So the ignore feature; are you selecting it from the drop-down menu or are you selecting account settings? The actual 'ignore settings' under the drop-down menu next to your username; isn't working; you have to go through account settings.

So instead of just reporting people, begging them to be banned, hating on people, bickering, etc. Just use the ignore feature. It saves everyone the trouble, people get to keep on posting and you don't have to deal with the people you hate. Of course, still report obvious rule breakers, like spammers, trolls, etc. but leave the average user alone and we'll have a far more prosperous and busy forum. Just go to settings -> ignored users -> punch in their names and they'll be gone.

Maybe you need to take a shit.

Ridiculous Strawman fallacy. I said nothing of the sorts. In Spain goal differential isn't counted that is why more blowouts occur; I certainly do believe that Granada could give Swansea a run for their money because quite frankly; Swansea has been absolute rubbish this season. Why would a team bother to risk injury or exhaustion against Real Madrid when a 2-0 score is equivalent to 10-0? This fact coupled with easier to get yellow and red cards makes it apparent that the 'gap' between the top of Spain and the bottom is more than just talent. Spain is definitely rigged to benefit the better teams. Another ridiculous Strawman.

Only fans of the PL think the PL is the best league in the world. It shouldn't have four CL spots anymore.

That doesn't take much!

I changed the channel at half-time during the West Ham match. Bored out of my mind and I could tell that Chelsea had already won. Football is a far easier sport to predict than many others. I'm not even worried about Chelsea losing this title run, as far as I'm concerned it is already over; Conte and the players are just too strong mentally to collapse. It kinda drains the excitement out when it's just business as usual and the team is so damn talented.

Goals aren't the only barometre.

That wasn't always the case.

I watch sports to be entertained. Not to live vicariously through another's success.

Boring.

It's not my choice on how the club makes transfers and I don't know much about the finances of the club, I think it's abhorrent that player contracts are sold to begin with. I don't go to games and if I did, I'd be more concerned about the ticket costs of flying to and staying in London over a few more £££ of gate prices. I'd like to see evidence of the correlation between 'inflated transfer prices' and 'inflated ticket costs' because right now that is purely conjecture. I won't believe 'boogeyman' ramifications without evidence.

Only three players in the world are marketable, the rest are literal nobodies. The market is already fucked and has been since the Gareth Bale transfer.

Bro, the future cannot be predicted. He could have a killer next season score thirty-plus goals and we'll think 'why the fuck wasn't he bought?' or he could score one goal and we'd think 'dodge a bullet here, lads!'. It's all a big gamble, no matter how proven or unproven a player is. Messi could flop, his leg could get kicked with his shin going two ways during the first minute of his debut. We could look at his career on a whole and examine how he scores. Are all his goals impressive? Even when he only scored six for Palermo two years ago? Were they tap-ins created by players better than him? Who were they against? Home or away? Sub or start? Loss or win? Winning goal or meaningless add on? The context really adds to how we understand a player. I'd easily take a young player that scored six winning goals over another that just smacks them during 5-0 victories.

My response, 'I dunno, it was a month ago' was as literal as it could be; I didn't know if that indeed was what you posted because I hadn't reviewed, so I took your word for it as I believed you had no reason to lie. You responded in kind with 'The cut and paste in italics wasn't a clue? Missing it once is missing it once, but twice?' which by definition condescension which in turn caused me to act aggressively. It takes two to tango and quite ironically you are deflecting by stating I'm deflecting (which is a deflection on my part). At the end of the day, we were (from our own perception) rude to eachother because of a mutual misunderstanding and for that I apologise.

You had your chance to say 'That is what I said.' instead of course you chose to say 'Isn't that what I said?' even though obviously it was and I had just misread your statement. You chose to talk down to me, so excuse me if I disregard your opinions in turn when you convey them in such a manner. The semantics of your statement beg the question 'why should I care?' Excuse me if I cannot remember a statement you made a month ago and you ask me if that is what you posted. The more important question is; why did it take you a month to respond and the second most in important question is; why am I indulging you right now? Thirdly why are we still talking about this? It hardly matters.
