The only tight layer is the first.

My winter set up is:

First layer: tight top + bottom wool long johns (in sure there is a proper term for em, but it's what we called em)

Second layer: loose wool onesie I got from Roots.

Third layer: loose sweat pants + hoodless sweater

Fourth layer: loose insulated work pants + work hoodie

Fifth layer: snow pants and jacket

This gets me through winter in Winnipeg and rarely do I get cold.

How long did the 2 peas in your head need to create that masterpiece?

So what exactly was the plan? In detail. Leave no stone unturned.

  • Who planned and financed it?

  • Where was it planned?

  • How was it covertly executed?

  • What were the main objectives?

  • How did the planners protect themselves from their devious plot?

I'm really shocked there wasn't a few other teams looking at JWP this summer, given the relatively low price.

Note the bold word ......

Kosovo Albanians belong to the ethnic Albanian sub-group of Ghegs,[10] who inhabit the north of Albania, north of the Shkumbin river, Kosovo, southern Serbia, and western parts of North Macedonia.

Now what is racism?

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

Explain to me, how this isn't racism?

There will be no new leagues or tournaments that effect the status quo. Established leagues and federations will not be making any changes unless it involves a lot of money, without hindering any current revenue streams.

Football, at its core, is ingrained at a cultural level in many countries, and no amount of money from Saudi, or China, or the US will change that. True fans see the Saudi vanity project for what it is, and while they may attract the plastics, in time nothing will change.

I'm a Canadian. We play hockey. It's what we do, and it's why, despite our small population, we dominate on a global level. It's a community thing, it's a family thing, it's a cultural thing. Money won't change that. It takes generations to create that.

China failed, and so will Saudi. Minor things will happen every decade or so to suit a new generation but when I die in 40-50 years, things will basically be the same.

Technically, yes.

I haven't had the luxury of sitting down and watching games as closely as I'd like to, but Klopp is doing something different this year. Ive s¹een Gakpo start in the CM slot while Mac Allister has been the DM basically.

Given their depth issues at CM, plugging the DM role for one year isn't a big problem. I should probably go check YouTube for an in depth analysis of their tactics this year when I find some time.

A solid signing that should give them the depth they need at CM.

There is no clear front runner in that group and there will be no easy game, so every point is going to matter.

I'd like to see Milan and Dortmund move on but I have a feeling it will be Newcastle and PSG.

At least make the lie believable

Every 100 million raised by player sales can fund 500 million of purchases if the players sign five-year contracts.

The problem with this theory is that it isn't perpetual and it ignores the debt that continues to grow. See below.

  • Year 1. Sell 100, Buy 500, -400 net.
  • Year 2. Sell 100, Buy 500, -800 net.
  • Year 3. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,200 net.
  • Year 4. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,600 net.
  • Year 5. Sell 100, Buy 500 - 2,000 net.

Kicking the can further down the road while accruing more dept isn't sustainable and I'm not sure what the end goal is. Spending 1b doesn't guarantee success (ask Man U fans) and if Chelsea can't get their shit together and get into CL regularly they will eventually end up in a financial dumster fire.

As for the players and the manager, I'm not optimistic in how it will all play out. Poch is a good manager and I'm sure he will turn things around from the mess that was last year, but I don't see how this squad gets beyond 7th, especially if Brighton, Brentford and Villa continue playing as well as they are.

The peas though are struggling a little bit this year

Also can't figure out why the pic rotated itself....sigh.

 

I just love how bright and vibrant the flowers are on zucchini.
