Davkaus Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Porridge is my winter breakfast of choice, but most cereal it's junk food, and it can only be a good thing that people are turning away from that shit for breakfast. If anything, it should be a dessert. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thing is, I think people in my country at least are finding even worse things and worse ways to eat -- often on the run. Obesity rates are way up in America, just in the last five years. People talk about healthier eating, and there are lots of articles about, but people aren't walking the walk, it seems? At least with cereal, people would sit down and take a moment.

I worked in Malaysia for a little while and they just served curry & rice for breakfast and it was so nice. I reckon you just need 2 big meals a day and one snack, and it doesn’t matter when you have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you all know, I'm not a fan of curry at the best of times, but I'll have one occasionally to be sociable. The thought of eating it every evening is pretty horrific. Eating it for breakfast is beyond unthinkable. I've just had a nice bowl of porridge. Healthy? Hardly. Made with milk, and laden with sugar and double cream. Lovely. You wouldn't get that in Kuala Lumpur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted October 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 26, 2022 This is my current breakfast cereal (not as high in sugar or calories as you'd imagine) This was the one I was using before I bought this one I'll usually add some dried fruit to the one above, no need on the top one I tend to buy according to price & sugar content (lower the better obv) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I buy muesli from a local place that fills containers that you bring in, nothing branded etc. The muesli is fantastic packed full of fruit and cashews etc. Absolutely love a load of nuts in my mouth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Purchase or hire thirty-eight ripe spongs. Wheel them home, and shoot them. Then simply bake them, and eat them once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about two spoonfuls. Literally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It proves you’re not a virgin whose got a subscription to Four Four Two and a Football Manager addiction. Just joking any of you double pivot/low block/transition/trap setting/patterns of play/high press and other buzz word lovers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it is... as others have said, basically means a 4-2-3-1 formation or similar with the 2 being 2 DMs or deep CMs who the play "pivots" around (i.e. as the team transitions between attack and defence, these players have the appearance of being the pivot which the full backs and wingers swing around). And a single pivot is a 4-1-4-1 or similar. What I'm baffled by is why it is now so mainstream, and where it originated. Also why the DM(s) is/are anymore the "pivot" than a Number 10 who sits in place and plays people in. I have a feeling it was used more in Spain originally, and then became common in the PL due to foreign managers. Also the UEFA coaching badges mean all managers tend to talk in more similar language these days. But I'd love to find out when it exactly it was first used. And as others have said, there's no reason really to prefer "double pivot" over "two holding mids" or whatever. It does seem to be one of those things that's meant to sound cleverer than it is.

I think Herbert Chapman is credited with starting it with his WM formation, Two half backs in front of three defenders after that sod knows. Why Pivots, no clue either Get your own back by calling it a paired fulcrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
