Maybe that's true from a psychological standpoint , but it's purely about total points. We could conceivably lose against Liverpool, win every other game, and they drop the required points.

Yep, he didn't see it properly, and the VAR who did see it decided not to ask him to look at the error.

Brothers fight amongst themselves, but will fight to the death to defend each other from an outsider. You can try but I don't think you can win this one.

Actually it does give you the right. You have in-group favouritism within a group when outsiders are present. The group pulls together to compete against outsiders. In the absence of outsiders, you have in-group competition. I don't think there are any social mammals that don't display this.

That was the start of something funny but then you went right off track.

And I knew what you meant with regards to "please don't be one of us" when you hear of some horrific crime. That's actually a sign of your pride in your identity, not your lack of appreciation for it.

Don't let anyone deny you your god-given right to slag off your own people. I can insult my brother, but if you are outside my family and tell me you agree with me, I will defend him and punch you for daring to say such a thing. It's how family and nationality works.

Jesus. I'm sorry for this ma'am.

Can you not read it? I can still see the tweet.

The story explains that it was on loan.

Reminds me of the Chinese security services stealing back their pilfered artefacts, and then boldly displaying them in public places as "replicas". I certainly hope the thieves were Romanian. news.artnet.com/art-world-ar...

Which is part of the problem. It's a contact and we see them supporting awful calls by refs all the time

Albert Johannesen, a black South African, played for Leeds in an FA Cup final in 1965, first African to do so, and the first black African to play in the English Top Flight.

Ah gotcha. I am able to buy extra home, if that was what you were talking about. Good luck with the ballot.

I don't watch them. I read about cooking my mostly.

Not possible to rank. I decline to answer this one.

I can't remember, we had multiple cooks in the house growing up and I learnt from them all. Probably my mum.

Savoury.

10. I eat everything but when I want something now, it's always very specific.

I would start a Swahili restaurant chain. We'd specialise in katles ( savoury fried breafast dumpling ), samosas and lots of matoke dishes, as well as grilled meat and fish.

Chocolate and bacon.

My first Kimchi Jigae soup. Someone noted how much I was enjoying trying kimchi the first time, and suggested this kimchi beef soup. I went back twice during that trip and then started cooking Korean food. It was the warm, but somehow non-tangy heat of capsicum pepper skin broth.

A nameless restaurant I went to in Osaka. Michelin-starred chef cooking Japanese food guided by French philosophy. Photos attached.

I feel sorry for US sports fans who have never known anything different, and for the English football game, which is being flooded by American owners who are looking for such opportunities to monetise every moment or aspect of the game they can.

Thinking about it, I remember watching a mini-game between the England under -17s and the opposition under 16s during the half time of a Cup game in the 90s. Of al the content you could imagine showing during the break, Ads are right at the bottom of the list of things I want to see.
comment in response to post
If I'm not watching the game itself, I want to hear expert analysis of the game. Even the Superbowl confuses me with the halftime show which is usually a paid album promo. Why wouldn't you want to spend all that time hearing about the game you've been watching?
comment in response to post
I could *go as far as saying they "could" know. Not that they definitely would, isv what I meant.
comment in response to post
I could do as far as could. As events have shown, security services can't always know everything. And even when they do, there is often ambiguity / uncertainty.
