Re: The Football (Soccer) Thread

Arsenal beat Liverpool to win the community shield. As I said Arteta is a class manager. He seems to get every player in his charge to play two or more levels above where they did before him and install total confidence in them. And tactically he seems to be sharp. He's now turned a team in disarra...

The trouble with dems is they dont want to piss off their base by going against BLM protestors but end up inadvertently opening the door for anarchists to run riot.

Re: TRE45ON Trump and US politics catchall

Read online the other day someone refer to Biden as the democrat equivalent of George W Bush and when I thought about it for a second I think that it works. He's more of a frontman than the man. No-one takes him that seriously but he's an unimposing, unthreatening nice guy who is hard to dislike. T...

Re: TRE45ON Trump and US politics catchall

He has always been gaffe prone. The stutter is what can make him seem forgetful. Go with what he actually says, the ideas he comes out with, the responses he has: he's a mile away from Trump's braindead dribbling, let alone Reagan's senility.

No serious commenter would genuinely cast doubt on Biden's mental acuity, given the stammer issue. He's clearly compos mentis and a lot more coherent than many currently in Govt. He's slightly older than his opponent, but clearly in better mental health than him (or Reagan, if you want other compar...

Messi is a lead weight preventing Barca from finding a path forward at this stage.
