Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

Not paying full attention but Arsenal have got steadily better the last couple of months and Chelsea have not

lolroud

that's not remotely true of Arsenal tbh

A belting moment as Sky Sports think they have spotted Jan Siewart (potentially the new Huddersfield manager) in the crowd at the John Smiths Stadium, approach him for interview, only for it to be some random fan called John Morris 😂 pic.twitter.com/womwb1luh3

wont see a clearer yellow all season than that from christie on rose

fucking clown's og llorente

this is going to be a long couple of months

jesus its falling apart

just two poor london sides hoping to avoid relegation here

was it kane or son that made lamela look like a footballer i can never remember

best attacker on show: vertonghen

this is well poised to be worst game of the season

nah we'll crush em yet

soon as dele stops all the cutesy flicks and starts passing like

jesus, winks' final product is nothing rly

grand back the pitch but when hes on the ball a lot anywhere within 50 yrs of goal you know we're huffing and puffing

i wonder whats the fewest number of crosses a team with fernando llorente up front on his own has ever attempted

cool that we might break that the same day we set a record for five yard sideways passes from midfield to left back tho

#range

trippier has been astonishingly bad

what was odoi doing for that goal

sanchez joins the list of ppl guilty of being near mitrovic when he got into a fight

rotten tackle that from seri

jesus the ref is a cunt!

good if we had a few players of enough personality to be in his ear tho

enjoyed sanchez handling mitro today. forward play really lacking though, only alli with good movement in the box and now he's injured

his penchant for losing the ball
with low-percentage flicks instead of playing it simply hasnt been much use today tbh

the plight of being the only player on the right page is everyone else is out of sync and you look useless

if levy wrote blank cheques like that we'd be some team

eriksen hasnt bothered today

horrific stuff

nkoudou is the new sissoko

spurs have delivered us the 90 minute ordeal and kvetching session they know we need

persistence the order of the day. rose and winks not always great but kept plugging away. llorente was tragic, but imo tobes and vert were pretty magnificent, toby especially, running into the box to make space for winks. the relative defensive solidity without a DM is to their credit.

its worth noting that christie, odoi shouldve been off over the 90mins and mitrovic got away with the usual murder

llorente will score pots of goals when we start crossing. he got on the end of everything today and wasnt far away...rly

he certainly seemed surprised to get on the end of that cross towards the end

papering over cracks is actually good now. I'm a rogue landlord

Winks and Alli both poor in general tho yeah as was the crossing or lack thereof, irony of a sort

What the fuck is going on with Emiliano Sala's plane?

get a proper jetliner or travel by train

aye that is fucked, went down somewhere over the English Channel.

Apparently he was on a 'Piper Malibu' - you would not get me on one of those things and I have negligible monetary value, fuck knows what they were thinking putting their new £15m signing on one.

I can recall a few Air Crash Investigation eps featuring that deathtrap.

I didn't realize the guy had only signed for them a few days before. Sad, horrible situation.

Big Sam: wouldn't touch that Hudds job with a barge-pole.

hudds employ a German manager.

Big Sam: harrumph... total lack of opportunities for brit managers these days.

already seen some disgraceful comments about Colin having a cash on delivery agreement.

I'm sure Warnock can be relied upon to handle this in a sensitive and diplomatic manner.

“I'm on a plane that looks like it's going to fall apart, and I'm leaving for Cardiff,” Sala said in a WhatsApp audio message carried by Argentine media.

“If in an hour and a half you have no news from me, I don't know if they will send people to look for me, because they will not find me, you know. Dad, I'm so scared,” he added.

fucking hell.

Fuck, whoever took the decision to put him on that plane is criminally negligent at best and maybe guilty of manslaughter?

oh god that message ;_;

as someone with a lifelong fear of flying and a big terra firma fan, it seems to have played out just like my worst paranoid nightmares about getting on a plane, and in particular one of these small planes. I'd imagine if his parents have given this very personal stuff to the Argentinian media themselves, they are feeling a lot of anger as well as anguish.

Cardiff have been at pains to point out that apparently Sala organized the plane himself.

This is the pilot (and plane) apparently talking about all the things that can go wrong:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-34492176/my-life-as-a-ferry-pilot

TBH, it’s not just the type of aeroplane, it’s the type of flying that is being undertaken. Flying at night, overwater, in weather is probably the hardest flying that any pilot will ever do. There are a number of effects that upset the human gyroscopic balance, which can become deadly. Effects such as black hole effect, where a pilot gets disoriented by the darkness, giving a feeling of too high, too low or just not flying level. Strobe effect, where the flashing white lights bounce off surrounding clouds and cause disorientation and nausea. The leans, which is one of the most deadly. Often caused by false horizons from lights or clouds, also caused from accelerations in turbulence(especially at night), where the body/brain thinks the aircraft is flying in a turn or straight or climbing or descending, when in fact the aircraft is flying not as perceived by the brain. The pilot then compensates for the feeling by turning or pushing down or applying power, which increases the feeling, which then leads to the pilot turning further or pushing further. Just ends in a crash. It’s the most awful and scary feeling on a dark night.

Throw in the fact that the equipment isn’t really the best to be taking on those conditions, an aging, single engine turboprop aircraft with most likely a primitive autopilot and navigational/radio aids, it puts this pilot in a difficult situation.

I’m trying not to speculate here and trying more to offer a number of reasons why I personally would have never stepped on that aircraft.

some more horrific context from someone who has flown one of these things.

Nightmarish

horrible

we had a very high publicity rescue helicopter crash a few years back and even a basic skim over the environment, scenarios and likely causes were similarly nightmarish
