sorry it didn’t work out mate

Ciao Rio, As you know, many have tried interpreting Allegri. Some cited existing philosophical works such as Bordiga, Hegel and Plato. The former saw Allegri as the progenitor of a spontaneous revolution, his football being so boring it had deep ideological significance. They viewed his football as the cry of discontentedness with the neoliberal consensus, and a legitimate philosophical work in it’s own right. The modern Hegelians saw Allegrismo as the dialectical synthesis between two states of being, that of anguish and that of ennui. Those using the works of Plato are conflicted on whether to see Allegriball as a concrete object, real and tangible, while all consider the feelings the games elicit to be abstract. Others saw it as post-modern performance art and tried to categorise it as the intended catalyst of a yet to materialise Neo-Fluxus movement. Alas, others even ascribed it a theological value, arguing for the canonisation of Allegri and compared our pain watching to the pain our lord felt on the cross. A contingent of these worshippers split recently and alleged Allegri was inherently heretical, no mortal man had ever suffered like Jesus did until we watched the Sampdoria game. The truth is, Allegriball defies what the human mind is capable of interpreting. Do you suppose we can only bask in its majesty?

Nope.

Mrs B and me are so uninterested in cars that after years of driving shitbox Renault's with hilarious electrical issues we recently decided "fuck it, enough is enough" and ordered a Dacia, Renault's budget "sister" brand. Looking forward to many more years of "when did the wipers stop working?" "Front wipers are fine but only work when the windshield fan is off and the child lock is on. Rear wiper is temperamental but usially springs to life after you indicate left a few times"

Alternatively, he tried to get a bloke who was doing his best to keep the peace, vilified online and potentially disciplined/sacked by posting a highly edited video

I dunno, I've always been into cars to an extent, though I mostly keep that to myself, never been entirely willing to get into it as a money pit of a hobby though. Got enough of those already. Renault Clio - typical first car, one of the suspension springs shattered into bits going over a speed bump once and all of its electrics failed Kia Picanto - Slow as balls but reliably ate up miles when I had a long commute Abarth 500 - Favourite car I ever owned, fucking brilliant, quite want to get another one Peugeot 308 GT - Dash was shit, no physical buttons but a slow as fuck operating system/touch screen Honda Fit - Moved to New Zealand, needed a car, wife drives this now Nissan Fuga - Never even heard of these before moving out here, its big, its fast, it makes a great noise and since its an import theres a Japanese woman in the dash who yells at me occasionally. Brilliant.

The opposite I'd say, younger lads are most into cars. Contrary to what's been said, I don't really give a shit about cars, which is why I've had the same model for 20 years, pure familiarity so I don't have to relearn any controls. I just want something that works and gets you from A to B without breaking down. Last two cars failed on this count unfortunately. Suppose Japanese cars are the answer although they are canny ugly.

Short reviews of cars I've owned Rover 200 - pile of shit that my mother had driven for years. I'm glad I crashed it. BMW 1 series - absolute fucking money pit, ended up getting £900 off a garage who just wanted the parts. Kia Ceed - perfectly fine hatchback, cheap to run, cheap to insure, 7 year warranty, would have kept it but salesman was a total cunt. VW Polo - yeah, fine I guess. Caring about cars must come in your 50s, I suppose?

Which Thurman were we linked with?… no chance of signing this one for <€60mill but he looks perfect for the premier league

They’re binning him at the end of the season apparently

Milan and Pioli caught in a game of chicken. They wont sack him because they’ll owe him compo and he wont leave till he gets it

another red card, elbow to the face. Inter Milan Champions of Italy

A couple of red cards in the Milan derby.

Hundreds and thousands.

I'd take him. I bet they wouldn't sell for less than £40m

Well I love my new Audi, obviously it helps I get it through motability so I’m not worried about it depreciating at all.

Summerville makes it 4-2 Leeds, he's a good player, I wonder how much he's worth ?

Anyway, wrong thread for this, I blame @PaddockLad.
