Hybrid with in office on the Friday? That feels harsh lol.

I get the M and F for WFH.

 

[Savant]

I haven’t worked in an office since 2019

Just record the games. Most of them are on paid streaming service, you can share the service with a friend or someone online to save it's not expensive, or find a place that uploads the full games and stream/download them.

Maybe 10% of the EPL games I've seen in the past 2-3 years are live. Especially the Friday/Monday games and the early morning Saturday game.

Lets you skip past all the half-time and injury feigning bullshit and subs and VAR slowness too.

Living in Barcelona I was very surprised at the beginning how liberal Latinos are with terms like "el negro" or "el chino". Now I've gotten used to it, but it was quite the culture shock.

It's not a question of being liberal or not, it's a question of ignorance. I feel so embarrassed for those who speak without knowing anything.

An an American, where the word "boy" has a very negative meaning towards young black men, to hear PL announcers use that term freely and without the racist baggage catches my ear every time.

It should just be a teachable moment for Garnacho to be aware of the connotations. There's no need for him to be punished with a suspension for something that was without ill intent. And Onana is clearly vouching for him that there was no ill intent.

This is just like the Bernardo Silva thing.

The precedent is to suspend. Whether it’s a good rule or not is another thing

lets get the week started come on my spurs...

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I mean, Argentina is widely known as the most racist country in South America. You can set a clock work to the news cycle when they play a Brazilian team in the Copas. He might need some re-wiring.

 

[Evilo]

And welcomed some nice German migrants in the 40s and 50s.

 

[Peen]

Speaking of that I am heading to Argentina in March. Met a guy in Edinburgh last year when I went to see Chelsea play who lives in Buenos Aires.

Also planning on going to Chile and maybe Uruguay.

Yep, and Cavani.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I do find it a bit funny that players can get suspended over Emoji's.

Heard Uruguay is incredible

I met an Argentinian girl over the summer, who's grandparents & great grandparents were German. Let's just say I wasn't surprised she had some issues with her mom's opinions...

I dunno man. I do Not this we are too many generations away from emojis replacing words (at least casually) as primary language. All these kids are just ”talking” in meme and emoji now. May as well be hieroglyphics or kanji

I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of comparing the racism level of tweets, but I think Bernardo's was in poorer taste - he seemingly was making a joke by knowingly using a racist caricature. I don't recall Mendy's reaction to it, but even if he acknowledged it was a joke among friends, it was still in poor taste.

Whereas, Garnacho seemingly was trying to give Onana some props for a big game, but he didn't know/think about the other connotation.

Are either instances worthy of a punishment from the FA? Idk. I think you could place that with the teams to decide if the player deserves some kind of punishment.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

You guys are going to make D2M cry.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Bissouma back from suspension.

Udogie unfit, Davies steps in.

Bentancur on the bench!

 

[Jersey Fresh]

[hockey20000]

[Paulie Gualtieri]
