This is the frustrating thing. You made about half a dozen posts at the start of this thread repeatedly demonstrating that you have no idea about the concept of probability. Unfortunately, because some people have got frustrated at the way you moronically kept doubling down on your ignorance you now have the get out…

It is intensely frustrating when people like you persist in being crashingly dense. We definitely need a better standard of dialogue - a way, to put it simply, to engage with the stupid and/or ill informed that allows them to see the mistakes they are making without getting offended. This is clearly true.

Not saying this isn’t hilarious, but in English English to “knock up” someone means to get them pregnant.

Chelsea are not the “traditional soccer hierarchy”. Chelsea are a second tier, at best, club that got bought by a Russian billionaire.

Multiple choice question. Who should bear the risk of player injury:

“Limit the earning power of NONunion members”.

Which is ironic, because there’s fuck all easy grace on display in any of these videos.

I sincerely hope that when the NFL does this promotion next year a player elects to wear shoes with a verse from the Koran on it. A precedent has been established, after all, that religion = charity and thus any religious expression must be ok.

Er, no.

I think you’re right, but there is a *tiny* justification for it. The backpass is wayward, so the keeper tries to take it back into the box when he’s put under pressure. Then he panics, thinks about picking it up, realises he can’t (because it’s a backpass) and totally shits the bed. He’s shouting at the defender in…

Sorry to be condescending (that’s talking down to people) but adding definitions of the words you are writing to your article would be pretty shitty writing.

If I had to do a list of celebrity professions most likely to be assholes, I think “1970s baseball catcher” would be a lock for top three. Possibly alongside “1980s hair metal band member” and “local news presenter, any era”.

Harper doesn’t need to comp his output to a player who isn’t a free agent. Teams are welcome to view Harper as overvalued relative to Trout, but given Trout is under contract until 2020 that is entirely a moot point - other than the Angels, ‘signing Mike Trout to the contract he is currently on’ is not an available…

Nope, registered that. I’ve loathed Chelsea longer than you’ve known what it means pal, but in English football something that happened to not famous people before about 1998 might as well not have happened. If you really think anything that emerges from this horrible story is going to derail the gravy train you are…

You seen a lot of Crewe Alexandra games in the Champions’ League, have you?

In a world populated by fuckhead robots you are absolutely correct. In a world populated by humans it could work like this: player asks union for help, union makes appeal to league, league recognises obvious unique circumstances and makes exception.

I actually feel sorry for Ken Starr. One minute they want him to stick his nose into every bit of sexual activity going on, the next they’re having a go at him for ignoring it. What’s he meant to do?

My monocle has just fallen in my martini.

Oh God no. You have to remember: there is no number of foreigners so small that foreigners can’t still be held up to be the source of all problems, and there is no level of influence held by liberal-leaning media outlets so small that the liberal media can’t still be held up to be dominating the national conversation.
