Yeah true, some people just don't feel fear at all. Or they feel it, but not in these realms. I'd bet that Petit guy gets more scared (relatively speaking) driving on a motorway than walking tightropes on skyscrapers. Some people were just born to do what they do and are built differently in...

Me too, even moreso because I am very scared of heights. Even when I used to go to football stadia I could never sit in the top decks. I never did, had to be on the lower stands. For guys to do what the climber you reference or the tightrope walker I do? I don't know how its humanly possible to...

Nah that's not him, though I have respect for guys that insane too. I meant the guy who walked a tightrope between the twin towers in New York back in 1974, without a safety harness. And generally never used them. Google Man on Wire and you'll see. It isn't climbing but it's all the same sort...

Google Philippe Petit if you like that stuff (you probably already know who he is anyway).

Tbh, if Pep did a Ferguson and stayed long-term for decades (He likely won't), I'd be confident of City getting to 21 titles before United. That would be 12 more City titles to 0 United. That's the machine City are and the state United are in in my view. Not saying it would happen, but the fact...

Would never be me mate. Heights terrify me.

I think it will take a lot longer than a couple of years, but that is my personal opinion. You could say football moves fast, but look at the insane contracts they give to average players. They stockpile so much deadwood that other clubs don't wanna go near. Trying to turn all that over with...

Not sure if you watch the Boys or just know Homelander as a meme, but he's absolutely insane that lad.

I think they tried that with Alvarez getting the nod a few times last season, though admittedly not in big games. The guy's main weapons are his height, strength and power and pace, but he doesn't seem to know how to utilise them, as you imply. Let's be honest, he's never winning any playmaking...

Exactly. They just don't have the balls to admit they are also-rans now. They cannot handle it as they were used to winning in England, so they build a deluded reality where their players are top players and it's only the management and structure of the club that is the problem. Like it was...

Yeah that is a point too. That ESPN list had Phelps as number 1 athlete of 21st century and Messi in 3. Messi should be 1 because he's the greatest of the century so far (and maybe all time, Maradona and Pele debate, but definitely the century so far) in a sport which has insane levels of...

He'd have won by more if he was like Steve Martin in the film Roxanne

Their fans are complicit too. The top reds who constantly defend the underperforming players and act like they're as good as the City players, it's just the state of the club that fails them. They need to get real.

He's desperate to be on the level of Bolt. He's excellent but he's not Bolt. No one is.

Good idea. I think I will follow your lead. Fortunately for me my phone is rarely at my ear, and I don't use it that much really. That might help a bit. But it definitely sits in my living room and bedroom when I am in them. I only started using a mobile hone in about 2021 though. I was late...

Yeah all that is true. And funnily enough I just seen a post from you about Ter-Stegen's complacency. This is an example of complacency too - we all know that about mobile phones etc, yet we continue to use them anyway. Apathy and indifference is these corporations' best friend.

It's a pretty disgusting business model isn't it. I hope your nephew isn't too addicted, or that he has strict controls on how much he can spend from his parents (assuming he's a kid).

What amazes me about FIFA is that Ultimate Team is allowed to be a thing, given the sheer amount of microtransactions and how it feeds into kids' vulnerability and adults' gambling addictions. EA make (made as they don't make the games anymore do they?) an absolute fucking fortune by exploiting...

I think, unlike Ronaldo, she is the actual GOAT in her sport, so maybe her smugness is more able to be backed up, even though Don and I have acknowledged it isn't nice to see. I seen an interview with her when BBC went to her during an event at this Olympics and she seemed a fairly nice girl...

Physical and mental mate. Lol.
