  1. RE: Prohibiting stuff rarely minimizes societal harm. I disagree. We don’t allow usury, Ponzi schemes, or heroin There’s a lot of practices that we rightly ban. I don’t agree that such laws rarely benefit society. Prohibition is an obvious and egregious counter example. There is no public demand for online sports betting in California. The ballot initiative went down hard. We do have horse racing, card rooms, state lotteries, and gaming on American Indian casinos. Also we’re close enough to Nevada for Reno or Vegas to be cheap weekend trips. I have never lived in a culture where online betting is a thing. I don’t see any benefits.
  2. California just voted down an initiative that would allow online gambling. Thankfully. (I voted against against the initiative myself. )
  3. Loved the way Barton would wind up the opposition.
  4. Pope Trippier Schaar Botman Burn Willock Guimaraes Longstaff Almiron Wilson Joelinton I think Wilson will start. Otherwise, Wood.
  5. And with Miggy on the right.
  6. Last time I listened to NUFC take penalties was the Partizan game.
  7. Conor Coady and James Tarkowski. All that stands between Everton and relegation.
  8. And yet Fred still appears a lock for Brazil.
  9. My response response here is possibly tied to my response in the favorite player thread. I hope that both Wilson and Joelinton are asked. Probably better for the club’s league campaign if both sit out the World Cup. But I don’t give a damn. Looking forward to watching Trippier, Pope, Schaar, Bruno, and anyone else that earns a call up.
  10. 1. Schaar 2. Joelinton 3. Wilson And more importantly, as someone else pointed out earlier, I don’t hate or even dislike any of our players.
  11. He doesn’t. Swore up and down that Eddie Howe would fail. Continued with that line for months. He’s shut up about now.
  12. I like playing Joelinton as a left side forward. I’d keep him there until ASM returns. Dominated the midfield with Willock, Longstaff, and Bruno.
  13. Can’t believe I’m approving of a “Lay off Longstaff” post, but This.
  14. This is the thing about Cronaldo going to Chelsea? First Aubameyang and now Ronaldo. They’re all about character at Stamford Bridge.
  15. I think we ought to rest Wilson at some point and no match is better for that than the game tomorrow. That’s our toughest fixture before the WC. We lose him to injury and we’ve got Wood as our only option for the next three ties. Southampton and Aston Villa are very winnable. I’d rather target those six points than the three at Tottenham. If he’s still ambulatory, yeah take a stab at Chelsea.
  16. Well, a win takes us 4th then. (Even if that happens. Very unlikely. All the pundits and all the podcasts will be on non-stop about the “United revival”. Ah well.)
  17. "Oh, but he's a good pundit." Can't stand the clown.
