Yeah, bringing in Arians usually has the opposite effect. 

Joule thief!

“He could buy MSG Corp and set fire to all the assets and it would have an immaterial impact to his net worth.”

So he thought they had given him the starting job, only to have the team take it back? There should be a term for that kind of giving.

You know, Boonie is on to something here. For as Rousseau said in his Discourse on Inequality, “In fact, the real source of all those differences, is that the savage lives within himself, whereas the citizen, constantly beside himself, knows only how to live in the opinion of others.” That is, in “the box” the batter…

It is a year too late. Barca needed to address Midfield (especially Busquets), rightback (Sergi is a midfielder playing out of position…
