The Fish

Teleportation thing doesn't really bother me when it's how long Euron would take to get from A-to-B. But Tyrion's line on the beach could have been delivered by someone else, there was no need for him to say it, where there was a need for him to be at the battle. He was echoing the audience's thoughts when he urged Jaime to run away, and called him an idiot. Good episode I thought, trotted along quite nicely and I enjoyed the Arya stuff too. Not sure why Sansa was annoyed when Brienne was sparring with her little sister though?

Whoops Alli then. Unless he's injured too? fuck it, one of their billion mint attacking players.

No shame in losing to this lot, they play really entertaining football and have some excellent players. Atsu 1-2 - Kane, Son

We doing this again?

Aye, if his motivation is to be the main man he'd have been better off fluttering his eyes at Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea. Not because it's THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD, but they're among the few clubs who could afford him, have a shout of winning major trophies and where he'd be the main man. At PSG he'll be a Whale Shark in a puddle, but nobody will care. Nobody cares who wins Ligue 1, or the french cups, and PSG aren't likely to win the Champions League any time soon even with Neymar up front. It doesn't make sense for PSG either. They could have bought 4 £50m players or 2 £100m players who would have improved them more than Neymar will. There's no doubting his talent but surely the opponents will jst endeavour to deny him the ball or deny him space? That will be a struggle for St Etienne, but Chelsea will be able to shut them down, so will Bayern and so on. PSG this season will be like the kids who play FIFA on easy every night, but can't understand why they never beat real life players.

It might be, but I'd be surprised. We have only Gayle and Mitrovic who're out and out strikers, it'd be stupid to sell him without at least two bodies coming in. If we signed Lucas Perez and A.N.Other I'd be fine with Mitrovic leaving, even if he's nowhere near as bad as people claim. Top scorer in pre-season by the by.

Stupid yellow for Mitrovic, I was hoping he'd matured a lot, but there's still that nonsense to his game. Other than that he was decent in the first half. When Shelvey gets on the ball he's just got terrific vision, some of the balls were just perfect (Atsu's opportunity looked onside for me). Perez looked lightweight and lacking technique. Hayden was decent and Lejeune had another canny game. Manquillo was very good, and the pass that lead to Atsu's goal was fucking geet lush. Merino is solid and has nice technical ability too.

Key players in the previous campaign were obviously better than the Championship. We've an average Premier League side. We're nowhere near the top 6, but to be fair, who the fuck is? There's a raft of teams who're a bag of bollocks and we're certainly better than the two that came up with us. We've added quality and, perhaps most importantly, pace to the flanks. Merino is a step up on Colback already and Lejeune looks classy. Of course I'd like to see more quality up front and perhaps someone at left back, but we're not a shitshow and we'll be all right.

This is how Skynet starts.

Hair shirts were used as a form of self punishment, used by ascetics (ascetes?)

Does that hair shirt itch?

Well, no Wolfy, it's a central tenet of your philosophy and it is contradictory. Well you've mentioned them in the past, I'm sure.

Reported.

No it wasn't, not in any way shape or form. What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

You accept a view that isn't provable, after stating you only accept views that are provable. They are mutually exclusive. And, What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

You're dancing around the point Wolfy, But you accept a view that isn't provable. How do you address this lie? Oh and I'll ask again; What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

Who are you to say cast aspersions on anybody Wolfy? Your Ice Dome doesn't even satisfy your own criteria for an acceptable view. You only accept views that are provable, except for your Ice Dome view which needs no proof. What do your friends and family think of your world view?

You have provided nothing, but arrogance and ignorance. When met with calm explanations from experts in their field, you dismiss it out of hand because it challenges your worldview. A stark example of close mindedness. At the same time you hypocritically present a worldview which has zero proof and goes against every natural science. It's rank arrogance to claim the entire scientific community with all their proven theories and pesky evidence is wrong and your worldview is right. You insult brave men and women who've been to space, you insult victims of atrocities, you insult everyone and the only reason I can think of is jealousy. Oh and people have questioned the globe, space and so on, for centuries. What they found was that the earth is in fact a celestial body, spinning around the a star we called the sun, which itself is part of a galaxy, which is one of countless, in a vastness we call the universe. Scientists question everything, test it, prod it and amend or comprehensively alter their theories when new technologies or new methods provide more information. But do so with an evidence based approach. The scientific method. What you do is say "Nah, it's ice innit".

That doesn't counter my point Wolfy. Either you require proof to accept a view and therefore you shouldn't accept your view of the earth within an Ice Dome that has no proof. Or you lied when you claimed you require proof to accept a view in which case your demand for proof of the consensus is ridiculous. Which is it?

You're contradicting yourself Wolfy. Either you only accept views that are provable. Or you lied when you claimed that.

Well you accept this Ice Dome view, with literally no proof whatsoever. So to claim you only accept views that are provable is to tell a big lie.

That's not true at all Wolfy.

... you're refusing to accept an alternative view? Who could have predicted that?

Biggest irony remains that Wolfy insists he's open minded, when he refuses to receive any view alternative to his own. There's also black or white stance he takes on scrutiny. Either you scrutinise everything, or you blindly accept everything. For Wolfy, there's no middle ground. I'd say everyone on here as a decent level of scepticism, proven in the politics thread if no where else. But to Wolfy, we're all blindly accepting everything because we don't blindly believe we live in an ice dome.

We get it, you've got a "girlfriend".
