Re: Football - Champions League

What - A - Match! Well done to Liverpool. No UEFAlona or UEFAdrid in the final? What shall we complain about now I wonder? Still buzzing about last night.

Re: Football - Champions League

@ jetwet1: I can't see Liverpool coming back from this either. Can you come back from 3-0 down in the CL? Absolutely! Can you do so against Barca and Messi? Good bloody luck, mates! Watching Messi play — the man is a godly I tell you. Your views concerning Spurs are appreciated. I think you've summe...

Re: What on earth is going on at the NRA?

Interestingly, it was the NRA that showed me how to use a shotgun safely and gave me some free rounds. Go back to doing that and even lefties may start liking you. I can think back to when I was in junior high, seventh grade to be precise. Boy, was that a long time ago it seems. We had a mandatory ...

Re: Football - Champions League

Meh...maybe Arsenal decided that it's just easier to win something at Europa League instead of getting dumped out of UCL by Bayern every single year. :duck: :duck: (They're up 2-1 against Valencia as I'm typing this). Oh, indeed. I love Bayern as much as I do Arsenal, so that is always a conflictin...

Re: Football - Champions League

That free kick from Messi was unreal. :eyepopping: Indeed. He is a magician. B/c seemingly nobody wants to finish 3rd...or 4th? That include Perennial 4th place trophy holder Arsenal, of course. :duck: :duck: As an Arsenal fan, I can confirm that you are indeed correct. We really need to move some ...

Re: Football - Champions League

As a Spurs fan, I could have predicted that outcome, they have just taken to many injuries this year (half the team is playing injured) and didn't spend the money last year to flesh out the ranks. With that said, though Spurs form in the Premier has been, well shockingly inconsistent in 2019, they ...

Re: Football - Champions League

I've been an Ajax fan for forty years. I know a good thing when I see it. :checkmark: some ups and down though the years :D More a PSV fan myself, but Ajax reaching the semi-finals en might even win it in the end, is good for Dutch competition, we get more places in the CL the coming years. And it ...

Re: Football - Champions League

They are not, but it's a shame the sport turned this way. Let's just enjoy the moment and see if they make it to the final. I sure am hoping they reach the final. Even if you are Dutch and not an Ajax fan, you still have to recognize the benefit of Ajax in the final and what that means for all of t...

Re: Football - Champions League

Van Beek could go, Which club do you feel would best suit him? Sure, that is indeed the problem of the Netherlands, most will leave for a bigger club. For a player, though, it might not be ideal. Do you want to be a sitting on a bench at a top club, high paying or do you want to hone your skills so...

Erik ten Hag perhaps? He may get poached by a larger club (Bayern being the latest rumor).

Re: Football - Champions League

Unfortunately quite a few will leave, the competition in the Netherlands is not challenging enough. I would be great if Ajax could keep team together but very unlikely. Indeed. It's hard for a team like Ajax to say, no when a European super-club with a seemingly endless amount of cash comes calling...

Re: What on earth is going on at the NRA?

I'm a gun owner as well, possessing both handguns and rifles as well as a shotgun. I am not at all surprised to see other gun owners share the same opinion of the NRA as myself. Never been a member and never will. I see a firearm as a necessary instrument of operating a farm. I prefer never to use o...

Well, Ajax did half of their job. Now go go Reds, just bc of Jürgen Klopp. (I am a bandwagon BVB fan...so). Well, you have to both admire and appreciate BVB. I say this as a Bayern fan by the way. I will always have a soft spot for both BVB and Klopp. I am hopeful for a Liverpool victory, though it...

Re: Football - Champions League

So Ajax and FC Barcelona will have it tonight (hopefully). Have fun watching tonight . :box: Seeing that I loathe Tottenham even on a good day, I am rooting for Ajax. They can best the boys from North London, but when in form, Tottenham is not to be trifled with. Will they (Spurs) bottle it I wonde...

Re: No Biden and No Trump. Who?

A good question, but I just can't seem to get excited about any candidate at present. Perhaps as the field narrows a bit and their respective positions become a bit more finite, then things might change.

Re: Liberals Are Infesting Texas

You're not gonna win arguments with liberals with statements like "infesting", but I'll humor you: did you expect Texas to receive KY's and WV's rednecks? Have you been paying attention to projections that Texas may soon be a swing state? I cannot speak for the good folks from Kentucky, b...

Re: Southern Baptists, "Catholic Church, hold my beer"

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church. I remember a "youth director" hitting on me. Fortunately I wasn't intimidated and told my dad. I'm not surprised. It seems that all organized religions have this issue and in very big ways. I have a very similar story from my time in the Southern ...

Re: Amazon reconsiders LIC

I fit all three criteria.

AOC doesn't concern me one iota. She's passionate. I wish more people were. I only agree with here probably 50% of the time, but she's making waves. It's about time someone challenged the status quo.

Re: I've bought a new car

Not a thing wrong with the Fiesta. Good choice. I have an uncle who owns his own trucking/shipping company. He's been using the same truck since 1982. Still looks and runs like new.
