only just catching up, watched everton game on a dodgy stream in an even more dodgy social club after attending the chavviest wedding of the year. Actually pretty pleased to see the blues rolling their sleeves up and committing a few fouls, we've become worryingly passive since Bob took over and there's definitely a time and a place for just killing the entertainment and going for the points. Also ROMELU is quickly evolving into an actual striker rather than just a potential one, which is nice.

If I have to quote and +1 a single post from today, this is it:

Thought we might never see worse reigning champions than Moyes FC, but here we are. Would actually be strangely fitting if Arnautovic is the one to send Mourinho packing.

Carlo got to be the guy right?

Hey kw, forgot to quote and it was a few pages ago but yeah, sure, scorepoints is as good a marker as any.
11-08-2015 , 05:25 AM
I see there is talk of us cutting short Januzaj's loan with Dortmund. He's not starting for them so it would make sense. He would prob get more game time with us.

In fact, is there a single quality player who is underrepresented in fantasy?
11-08-2015 , 06:09 AM
Every defensive midfielder in the world
11-08-2015 , 06:17 AM
Chill, Coq has over 20 scorepoints, Sanchez has 68... I say that's a fair representation...
11-08-2015 , 06:24 AM
I'm chill. You asked for underrepped players, I think DM's are generally underrepped in fantasy games. Not that there is much wrong with that just saying

Schneiderlin, Carrick, wanyama, Matic, coq type players are key to team for example.

Players who influence/dictate/control the speed of the games are way more important than someone who pops up with a random goal and sucks balls majorly.

Id much rather have Kos play for my team than JT despite in previous years JT out scoring him and getting more clean sheets and less goals against.

You're also going to find that keepers who play for smaller teams will get more points than whose better who plays for a big club due to the sheer amount of shots they face.

You have to balance it up and cannot solely judge players on score points in 5 games.

Just remember if you do, you will be a like the Germans who thinks Ribery is better than both Messi and Ronaldo because SCOREPOINTS

*edit*

Reminds me of when Carragher said everybody at England thought and agreed that Scholes was the best player. Then stuttered and said Slippy P and fat frank scored in a cup final so are better.

Even guys like Xavi and iniesta rarely got into double figures for goals scored. Be shocked if they both managed it twice in the league in the last 10 years.

Ribery outscores messi and ronaldo? really?

Anyway, would DM's ot be the exception rather than the rule, and even so they score pretty fairly imo. Arsenal without Coq will win more points than Arsenal without Sanchez, and so on.

Keepers and depending on the team/system you can have CB as well, i,e JT > Kos

I'm pretty sure at the time Ribery didn't out score them both but not quite sure. Anyway the point remains, you can't solely judge players based on it.

Of course not(although I will always argue that it's a pretty good benchmark), but with players like Martial it's a completely fair judgement because he's an attacker who's employed to a) score goals and b) create chances. Both of which win you scorepoints, neither of which he's been able to do for the last 5 games. To conclude, his inflated price(which wouldn't be quite so exaggerated had he not signed for MU; no-one else is paying that kind of monays save their bros from across the city) and "form" should by no means win him any awards, certainly not the best young player in Europe award. If he does win it will say more about the panel than him.

Shouldn't be viewed as separate. The worst people tend to be both patriots and religious.

Cashy is pretty much right, a big part of it for both is how much you keep it quietly to yourself versus how much you feel the need to indoctrinate others.
11-08-2015 , 08:06 AM
Probably poorly defined but there would certainly be a correlation between IQ and level of religious indoctrination. Religion is for sure worse, though.
11-08-2015 , 08:11 AM
so after a lot of beer sampling the last few weeks and trying pretty much everything decent the supermarkets here can offer it's clear to me now that strong belgian ales are my favorite.

time to step it up a notch and put down a nice online order!
especially looking forward to westmalle/rochefort due to your recommendation(of the beers I got my hands on so far tripel karmeliet still my favorite)

still can't believe I didn't like beer until very recently, after-work beer goat

The problem is that 100% of people who are religious have to be stupid. So you just have to hope that they haven't been nurtured to be ignorant.

The world would be a better place if organised religion couldn't be imposed on anyone until they have reached adult hood, but cult gonna cult.
11-08-2015 , 08:17 AM
yeah karmeliet tripel is pretty nice

now to try some SINGLE MALTS
11-08-2015 , 08:19 AM
lol @ any correlation between religious-belief and IQ

faith is faith and childhood indoctrination is not faith, it is tribalism
11-08-2015 , 08:22 AM


the tastiest beer i've ever had

strong as anything tho.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting but there's an obvious difference between children who are brought up to believe in fairys who eventually think for themselves and dismiss what they see as ridiculous and those who never make that adjustment. The former are generally intelligent, the latter are morons. No lols required.
11-08-2015 , 08:27 AM
Solid move to go from not liking beer to going for belgian tripels.

Personally I found that my changing tastes in wine (first liking strong in-your-face stuff and then over time preferring ever more elegant styles) was the complete opposite of my beer journey (the exact reverse).

Do they sell much American beer where you live? I know it's hard to believe but America GOAT when it comes to beer of great quality and variety (Belgium is very good too).
11-08-2015 , 08:27 AM
there is no correlation at all

smarter you are the better you are inventing fairies and self-justifications - see: all Apple fanboys that absolutely MUST blow 4 figures and queue in line because iPhone X has a different case and GRACIOUSLY GRANTS ONE the opportunity to take the same quality photos you could on an previous gen Android phone and looking forward to the said BLOWING for months
11-08-2015 , 08:28 AM
Not sure I've had Westmalle, Rochefort is fantastic though.
