Especially when you are as old as us mate. The older you get the faster time goes. When you're a kid a year is a much bigger percentage of your life than when you are 75, so it passes infinitely slower. It is like a double whammy - getting older AND that time passing too fast.

I think they got lucky that season too, Underlying metrics said they should have finished about 6th, not 3rd, they got outplayed a lot. The whole thing about Man United is they get outplayed a lot and cannot play cohesive, possession football, but they tend to manage to score goals from nothing...

Have you noticed how they sneakily try to claim an affinity with Real Madrid, trying to bask in the glory of their 15 CLs as they only have three? Lol. I noticed this a year or two ago and @Givenchy has noticed this phenomenon too and mentioned it.

I hate Man United but it does get boring seeing City or any team win the title every season, yeah. It is what put me off watching Serie A and Bundesliga for a long time. It's kinda in opposition to the post I made in the Olympics thread, about second still being a big achievement. It is, but...

Don's probably referring to her GOAT necklace. To be fair I haven't followed the gymnastics but I got the feeling she was wearing it for a laugh and to take the piss rather than being serious about it. But could be totally wrong.

Yeah for sure mate, I really enjoyed it. It actually makes me question why I didn't follow them that closely in the past? I think the last one I watched this religiously was probably Atlanta 1996. It is weird because I do like plenty of the sports, but I have always seen myself as a 'football...

Yeah I hate the idea that you need to be arrogant to be good or the best, and that arrogance makes you perform better. I see that as bollocks. Arrogance is actually a very double-edged sword, and leads to hubris. It's CONFIDENCE that people need, and there's often a fine line between it and...

Yeah, in an ideal world they'd link up really well too. In fact we already saw that for Spain this summer. Those two and Yamal complement each other's games very well, in an ideal world where finances and other stuff weren't a consideration it would be good to see the three link up for Barca and...

That's a good thing you have brought up - I first noticed that a few years ago when Man United players got their losers medal in a cup competition (I believe it was when they lost that long shootout to Villarreal) and immediately took them off. Other teams have started doing it now. That's a...

Fati trolls but he is a good lad, some of the stuff he says is annoying but it doesn't come with malice unlike some other pro-Ronaldo posters in the past. I get him being thread banned though, because he does go OTT with it sometimes, but in general he is a good guy and in other threads he's...

Nobody can really beat Pep and Man City over a league season, generally. Liverpool done it once and often came closest, giving them their greatest challenge. Even last season, it looks close on the table, but once Man City stepped it up you knew Arsenal weren't gonna do it. We can get into how...

And yeah, I think the main thing that I at least have taken away from this, is how other sports have participants who respect each other and accept when they come second, third, etc. There were a few exceptions, but as Loki says and as was discussed before that too, plenty of the athletes were...

Nice timing as I just logged on (just briefly to check notifications) and it's a good closing post. No problem on hanging out here the last two weeks - I actually missed the first day or two as I was busy, but from then on I watched most of the swimming and athletics. Sadly with everything...

They're saying that Fernandes is better than de Bruyne now, because he 'plays in a worse team and gets better stats' :lol: Really shows how few of them actually play the game - anyone who has played football extensively can see De Bruyne (before decline) is twice the player Fernandes is...

I suspected so.

I see Blanco is still stalking me, raging at his inferiority. Do better :lol:

Made the same joke earlier about Shaq and Simone Biles. See, we do believe in gender equality.

Fair enough. If that's the way he is it seems like a personality/mental and physical issue rather than a technical/talent one. That's happened to so many gifted players over the years too. The ones who do make it really big are rare.

Fair enough. I am gonna stick to being interested in more feminine girls I think. I don't tend to like tall women anyway as I am not tall myself.

'do better' is a very funny, condescending way to talk to people. I am stealing that if I ever get into an argument with someone on another forum.
