As a male I agree. Having a longer skirt doesn’t stop me from finding you attractive, and the short skirt wasn’t the reason I found you attractive in the first place, but Jesus, we can learn to keep our fucking horniness and crushes to ourselves, if we weren’t already raised with decency to begin with.

Yeah, as someone who now watches the spec mode on short clips like this (took me a while to work out what I was looking at because I didn’t understand spec mode) I find I can’t really appreciate what’s happening. I hear the commentators and crowd going wild but the excitement of the action is lost on me behind a busy…

Just teasing dude. Hope you get your answer. :)

Are you asking for a friend?

That made me lol, and I’m not even sure I get the joke. The imagery is funny enough!

Aw, poor you! Hey, at least you’re not a poor construction worker in the gulf states, though!

lol, no. Good trolling tho.

I’m a man. My ex of 14 years used to say “maybe” when it turned out she really meant “no” about a lot of varied stuff - it was her non-confrontational way of saying no, and was a way of fobbing me off. It really pissed me off and was emblematic of a lot of other stuff. Because it’s been a thing in my life I’ve had an…

Oh right, thanks for the reply, but I don’t actually have the game - I was really interested when they first announced it way back- but as soon as I saw how bullet spongy the enemies were I immediately dismissed it as something that wasn’t my taste - I click on stories to monitor it because certain things about the…

Wait, so you can play the game without bullet sponge enemies?

This.

I’ll be here on Deadspin for many years to come, so you can come and gloat when it happens and I will bow. :)

Nope. Vast majority of fans give a toss about comps that involve more than the “big” teams. This phenomena regarding closed franchised leagues isn’t what the world is crying out for - just the big clubs.

They won’t be getting the most trophies anymore. They’ll be playing for a title only they give a shit about.

Exactly. This goes to the core that this guy doesn’t understand and neither do some people on this thread. Bazillions of football fans don’t see football matches as one-off title fights. Of course an exclusive league would still be a league, so that analogy isn’t that accurate, but it’ll lose all the wider-picture…

I agree with your cynicism, but I also agree that there is a line fans won’t cross. This is not a failing sport that needs new formats to keep it alive - I do believe this is a format that would fundamentally change things enough to cause a revolt. For all their imperfections, the CL and Europa League, collectively…

But Milan and United are shit - as are my team Liverpool. No I don’t want to watch a league where those three teams, and possibly others, are just there making up the numbers based on history and branding.

Heaps of people enjoy the CL before the quarter finals dude. My group of friends complain about a lot of football related stuff - the friendly international season, oligarchs buying teams etc etc - but we all enjoy the group stages.

Nah it won’t happen. Too many actual football fans won’t buy the product. To us the whole promotion/relegation thing is fundamental to how we see the game. I’m a Liverpool fan through and through, but to me, Liverpool’s season is nothing without the other famous clubs of England, big and small, currently successful or…

I have several friends who know their tattoo artists very well. It is kinda a big deal to them that they trust the tattooist that their ink is not only unique, but that their designs (which came about through collaboration with, or commission of, the tattooist) were not going to be seen as future financial…
