I don't much like Liam Gallagher, but he's been a highly visible City fan for as long as he's been in the public eye. He might be talentless and living off past glories and look and act like an idiot, but he's earned the right to celebrate with all the rest of us City fans. IMO.

The unappreciated little brother within their own working class town, City should be the everyman that we can all identity with, except for the very large fact that they are owned by royalty from Abu Dhabi who quickly reminded the world that there actually are people out there for whom money is no object. Instead of being the poor man’s Clippers, Man City have become the rich man’s Yankees.

quote:Normally, if you have any opinion on who wins the English Premier League, it demonstrates your world view on sports, whether you have one or prefer not to cross borders set up by ESPN. But considering the way Manchester City won the Premier League title, even ESPN had to give a nod in its highlights, and you need not show your passport when opening a conversation today with: “Two goals in stoppage time to win the league? Did you see that? Holy cow.” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/15/sports/the-city-game.html I think "the QPR" and "Britain's Wayne Rooney" should be new memes imo

I like how they treated being coached by "a sir" as some big deal that is exclusive to United.

Looking through the nytimes footie stuff. "I am not really a soccer fan and one of the reasons is the extra time. In a worldwide sport the absence of a timing device is quite disconcerting. It seems everyone should know how much time is remaining not just the referee so that game strategies can be planned and players and coach will be aware of such. What if there were no extra time added to this game or only 2 minutes. It's like Manchester was given an extra chance to win."

They just can't comprehend a continuous game without breaking it up into discrete "plays", it's not their fault.
|
# ? May 14, 2012 20:55 |

In fairness, an actual play clock does make sense. The ball's only in play for around 60mins on average, I think, making the few minutes added at the end pretty meaningless.

# ? May 14, 2012 20:58 |

It makes no sense whatsoever. Neither does saying such added time is 'meaningless' when the premier league was decided based on events that occurred during these 'meaningless' few minutes at the end?

Miscomprehended enough for this guy to create a reality where only the ref knows how much added arbitrary time there is, the players just wander around in a state of gormless limbo. His brain's really frazzled, I feel bad for him guys

Throw-ins, goal kicks, setting up for set pieces, etc. are all just as much a part of playing the game of football as the kicking and running. Stoppage time is to make up for injuries, players walking on and off the pitch for substitutions and the like (fights!) which aren't. It's pretty simple to understand.

thehappyprince posted:Wouldn't be surprised if it was more tbh Yeah, I remember hearing the figures before and at times it was only a half. Can't find it online, though.

Holy poo poo, I was miles off, I was guessing at about 70/75 minutes. Colour me surprised. It could be worse........ http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704281204575002852055561406.html

sky sports did a thing (i think only for a few games) a couple of years ago where they showed how much the ball was in play and it was like 48 minutes lmao

Someone needs to get their stopwatch out and watch a few games.

I knew the average was around 60mins because of the little "ball in play" match stat in CM 01/02. No I don't have aspergers, why do you ask,

# ? May 15, 2012 09:19 |

I just checked this year's CL quarters and semis on UEFA's website and if you add up both teams' 'ball possession' 'stat' it averages about 61-62 minutes a game.

They should work out the average for every team and change ticket prices accordingly.
