He's saying Faes (who, to help you out a bit, plays for Leicester as a defender) will score four own goals, which means the result would be 0-4 - because you put the home team's score first when you list a result
And you know what an own goal is right? you should do, you often score them on here![]()
I hadn’t even considered whether you personally had done it. Doubtless had you done so I would have made a remark along the likes of you being a cuck, but to be clear that would have been because it’s you not because I assume that of everyone who would adopt their partner’s surname.
Also saying something is bullshit and then explaining why I wouldn’t do it, isn’t a directive towards other people. Do what you want as long as it doesn’t affect me.
Case in point, a mate of mine is dating a woman who is polyamorous (she is to my understanding actually fucking another bloke). Now I think that’s bullshit…there’s no way I’d put up with that, but as I said to two other mates who were not happy about it “he’s a grown man, no one is making him put up with this. It’s his choice”
And no I don’t think adopting your partner’s surname and being ok with your girlfriend fucking another bloke are in anyway similar. The point is, I don’t expect other people not to do things I wouldn’t do
That’s your free Ted talk for this morning chief
Our kids' headmaster went double barrelled. But he's one of them gays so I guess that's a bit different as with two people of the same sex it's not clear who would take whose name.
Mrs L not taking my name would have been an issue with me, but I know lots of people who are married and whose wife didn't take their name. If it works for them then OK I guess.
I find it’s gay women who tend to get married more, but then there’s an old joke even amongst lesbians that going on more than one date means the next step is moving in together.
I know at least five female same sex couples who got engaged in less than six months. With the male gay couples, it’s more a case of pretending not to be jealous when one decides they want an open relationship.
Genuinely interested in how this fixture plays out, because it may set a kind of template for the rest of the season, and show us how the manager thinks his paltry resources are best deployed. It may also give us an indication of whether the team can function effectively at all against an opposition that should still be beatable.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Well as I said earlier, within reason I generally have a reasonable idea of what team Arteta will pick (there’s always the odd curveball or player that’s picked up a knock or the sniffles which wasn’t aware of) but I can probably confidently pick the back five but that’s it.
Will he swamp central midfield in order to leave an extra option going forward on the bench
Will he go completely rogue and play someone completely out of position up front (I tend to doubt it but can’t rule it out)
And from there, how will we approach games. If we were playing a tricky away game it might be expected that we would soak up the pressure and break, but a) do we have the players that can facilitate playing that way b) is that going to work against a team who instinctively likely to cede possession to us.
There’s a psychological factor in play as well, how will players react to the fact that there is going to be pressure on them to take the goal burden. Rice and Odegaard both players who have in the past netted fairly regularly but might they end up becoming hesitant…look at the chance Odegaard snatched at against Newcastle last week. Will he and Rice show for the ball ?
