I don't think it's saying that is what the EU actually is but rather how its viewed by Brits who voted for Brexit, which is absolutely accurate

its okay. prob just me being old but i prefer the look of a stadium with 4 separate stands, whether the corners have been filled in or not. the perfect oval just looks dull.

I like stadiums with one massive stand from a fit of 90s optimism dwarfing the rest of the ground.

I think I found Johnathan Woodgate's Reddit account:


On talking about his transfer to Real

quote:


That's one game. After that he played well before getting injured again and was then sold at a minor loss. There are far worse transfers.

On talking about worse transfers

quote:


Mutu to Chelsea, Veron to United, Flo to Rangers, Lentini to Milan, Denilson to Betis, Bogarde to Chelsea, Carroll to Liverpool, Torres to Chelsea, Shevchenko to Chelsea, Jo to City, Bebe to United, Ali Dia to Southampton, Savio to West Ham, Scheidt to Celtic, Overmars to Barca, Kaka to Madrid, Inter swapping Seedorf for Coco, Barbosa to Inter, Salas to Juventus.

How is he one of the worst? When there are multiple examples of players moving for gargantuan sums, playing shite and moving at a giant loss, a player moving for a decent sum, being sold at a moderate loss and playing well in the few games he managed doesn't compare



Then after being asked if he is Woodgate

quote:

Adrian Chiles is a broadcaster and writer
It is safe to say that Liverpool will win the league this season and they will be worthy winners. However, I don’t understand the need to disparage or overinflate this achievement by claiming the league was harder or easier to win in the past. JohnnyWicky makes an assertion that “the premier league is currently in this moment probably the strongest it has been in the last decade”. Interestingly, he calls it a fact (what is it about some of the Liverpool contingent and facts, they just can’t get enough of them) before outlining a subjective argument based on performance in Europe, the might of the “smallest” teams and the belief that the game is tougher now than it has ever been. How is the performance of English teams in Europe proof that the domestic league is the strongest it has been in a decade? This just shows the strength of a handful of top English teams relative to their European opponents, many of whom may be weaker at this moment in time than in the past. And just because the smaller teams have more money now doesn’t count for much when the bigger teams have even more i.e. it is all relative.

So, in the interests of probably nobody, how does one define the strength of a league when one accepts JohnnyWicky’s facts to be fiction? Well I would say a better measure is how competitive it is; after all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. With this in mind, and without undertaking a full-blown statistical analysis (as it is a waste of my time and yours), I simply took the average points of the top 4 after the same amount of games played this season (25) for each of the last ten seasons and subtracted the average points of the bottom 4 teams – the lower the score the more competitive the season, as the “smaller” teams would have picked up more points relative to the “bigger” teams. The highly-scientific results show that this season was joint-fourth (with 2012/13), with the difference in averages being 31. By a long way the 2010/11 season was the most competitive (a difference of 26).

Now what does this tell us? It basically confirms what most of us already knew – the Man Utd team of 2010/11 were awesome, beating an extremely strong trio (Chelsea, City and Arsenal) to the domestic title, coming runner-up in the CL to arguably the best club side ever (Pep’s Barca) and would wipe the floor with this current Liverpool side, who have the advantage of VAR, transparency, sports science, improved diets and conditioning and don’t have to travel to Elland Road to play a rival who truly hates you, with their biggest fear apparently being a trip to the admittedly-noisy but in-no-way-intimidating Molineux.

Ah the good old days, when Dimiflop Berbaflop laughed in the face of one misguided Liverpool fan by scoring a hat-trick against them and claiming the golden boot. I guess one man’s romantic nostalgia is another man’s recency bias.
