I think Spurs will get a max of 4 points vs sheff united and burnley.

Spurs are more likely to finish 6th than 4th.

But they'll finish 5th.

It's done.

How does anybody feel "average" about this season?

Walked home my five year-old home from school the other day.

I said "this is my favourite part of my day".

She said "that's weird".

I need a new heart.

We love to complain about not being seen as a big team, but realistically if Man U come asking about a player, the fee is higher and the wages are astronomical vs what we'd pay. 

It's not that they're great, it's that they're a global brand and agents know the value a big talent could bring in.

Imagine if Mount, Martial or Anthony were world beaters.

Actually don't bother, the reality is way funnier.

i guess the justification/angry nature of the "yes", is kinda how you would feel if you were willing to take your ex missus back for sloppy seconds after she cheated on you and all the neighbours knew.

You just kinda feel like you have to justify your "yes", and get angry at everyone who warns you that the sloppy seconds probably just isnt the right thing to do after being cheated on and made to look a fool in your local cul-de-sac, however much you really want it.

i get it, i empathise with the yes men.

dont do it though, fool me once, shame on you, sloppy seconds twice, fool on me.

I sense a specialist subject

Would still make a great number 2.

This all day long.

He's not the RB you want as first choice if you're chasing top four every year, but he's the backup you want in that situation.

I think he walks into most mid/lower table prem teams - he's good enough at most things but exceptional at nothing.

I have no clue what you are on about? 

i was drunk and thought the cartoon baby started the thread

Imagine starting a "best show" thread and your own one not getting a mention...

I can only judge this in the context of what UK shows I recommend to north americans since I live here now but:

Bankers: Peep Show, The Office - dislike these and we can't be friends

Next level down the rabbit hole: Boosh, Partridge, Dark Place, Nathan Barley, Toast, Snuff Box, 24 hour party people (I know it's a movie but special mention)

Sitcom to satire - you're old and weird: Brass Eye / The Day Today (always start with Paedogeddon)

Oh, you like Friends?: The Inbetweeners

You like Sienfeld?: Sorry, we don't have anything that shit

In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not have any involvement with this group or with the people in it, I do not know how I am here, probably added by a third party, I do not support any actions by members of this group.

My sister has had one for years and every time I visit I use it, and I didn't have a microwave until recently because I hate kitchen gadgets.

I think if you commit to using it it's worth it, you have to spend a bit of time re-working your shopping list - but if you have kids it's a time saver for sure.

they pay Gerrard a fortune and he's the 4th best paid coach in the world

Imagine knowing that everyone on a random forum is better at a job than the 4th best paid person currently doing it

I can't think of a comparable example outside of Kardashians and world leaders.

From this point on, it's better for us if they have a really decent end to the season and so he keeps his job. 

Unless Southgate is in contention.

That would be delicious.

That’s the badger!

Played for the knuckle draggers for a bit, think he kept switching his national allegiance too when he was young, then no-one picked him anyway.

Who was that hot prospect we had years ago that got poached from us by Arsenal for a “nominal fee”… and whose career went nowhere (karma)

Daniel Crowley?

Can't see Chelsea beating Arsenal without Palmer tbh.

Turning into the player I'd hoped Zaniola would be.

Early days though - he can't play like that every week.

Can he?

he always played like his head and his heart were in it but his feet were drunk

still love him though

OK. I didn't realise you were a true believer in Bloomverse. Then just a quick warning from someone that has worked in the video games industry for a long time.

The tech video that they have on their website is the sort of amateur stuff you'd expect to see from a two week student project - where I work if a new grad applying for a job had that in their showreel, they wouldn't be getting an interview. There have been crypto games with perfectly competent development teams, of course, but this doesn't look like one of them. There's literally one 3D artist and maybe 2 programmers?

There's also fundamental problems with any crypto game that means they only appeal to players who are more interested in the crypto part than the game part - it's extremely hard to compete against mainstream games that don't have the same design constraints on making the player experience more enjoyable. So I'm not saying crypto games will never have any players at all, but it's a relatively small audience and development studios are very expensive to run. 

Please do let me know if their ICO raises more than $1m. I've seen big raises from the more capable teams, but I'm curious what a white paper and a low-grade tech demo can raise!

Cool, you think this early stage studio sucks, move on. I didn't tell anyone to buy anything, just to keep an eye on them. The whole thing could implode before anything gets released - that's start-ups.

I have no dog in this battle, sometimes you get to see things other people don't, will post more on other projects so maybe block me from now on.

Get in early to make a bit of money before it inevitably crashes and dies, right? As an actual video game that people want to play it's never going to succeed.

I think it's fascinating so much of the altcoin scene revolves around projects that everyone knows are ultimately doomed to failure, where everyone is just trying to work out if any given project looks "real" enough that the price might rise for a bit and give them the opportunity to make some money at the expense of everyone else trying to do the same thing. It's really just gambling based on group psychology.

If you think every web 3 game studio is going to "crash and die" then avoid the space. If you think no-one wants to play some of the studios existing games then you're flatly wrong, go check out the Oh Baby Games discord, I'm sure there are plenty more I'm just not deep in the gamefi trenches.

All crypto projects (from BTC to the newest alts) are / were essentially micro-cap start-ups at inception.  If you're not building and you want something to succeed, the best thing you can do is invest early when the project needs capital / liquidity / attention.

There are obvious grifts, but how is this different to the internet in the 1990's?   Everyone I know is looking for novel defi / raw / socialfi / ai / gamefi / etc projects to back because of course you want to be in early and make money, but they are looking for projects they actually want to use. If someone offered you equity in Facebook in 2005 would you have said "nah, seeding internet start-ups is just gambling on group psychology"?

Even memecoins, which are pure gambling for attention, serve a utility purpose in bringing liquidity to a now fractionalized multi-chain ecosystem.  Serious defi founders know this - in 2021 they used NFTs to build community and onboard new users to financial derivatives, lending, yield farming, etc.  Today it's memes - if you don't think  they serve the chain study Solana and WIF.

I don't know your crypto leanings, but your post sounds a lot like what I hear from cynical BTC maxis who are ironically now building out their own NFT and L2 eco.

You do you, but the chats I'm in are all genuinely excited about projects and teams that can create meaningful utility for end users, and there's a level of curiosity, support, transparency and hard work that I haven't see in crypto before.

So glad all this neurotic coefficient rubbish finishes now. 

Sir you are on the wrong forum.

also, not nfa but if you think arbitrum gets a rotation, boop is a good leveraged bet - lead meme (by a distance), community very active, has been working up some good partnerships for a memecoin

i don't normally touch memes but r/r feels very asymmetrical on this one

My biggest investments are all in gaming, ai, rwa and BTC ecosystems.
 

keep an eye out for an indie game studio called bloom, think the tge is a ways off but having seen the team and roadmap I think it'd be one to get in early

this guy is one of the lead devs:
