Still not worthy of a thread

Even the anti-gambling rhetoric is carefully worded to entice people in.

 

"When the fun stops, stops" - bookies paint it purely as fun, which invites your Average Joe to stick a fiver on a mad accumulator on a Saturday afternoon. This is where, the odd big win aside, bookies clean up the most. It sets a context whereby it's almost like a lottery, and this in turn makes them fucktons of money. It's rotten.

 

And this is coming from someone who bets regularly, but with controlled stakes and set limits that don't remotely impact my day to day finances if I'm on a bad run. When the "stop gambling" message is worded in such a way that it actually in a way promotes it, you know it's fucked up.

How annoying is Kaveh Solhekol?

 

Every word has an upward infliction on it.

 

He's a really odd bloke. Thought that for years. Same with dharmesh sheth. They are unwatchable with the way they talk. Especially on there weird little transfer thing as well pretending like they are ITK "my sources say.." but know nothing.

Used to leave SSN on in background loads in the past but now I will actively turn it off to avoid listening.

Bundesliga:

PL must have the highest percentage of non-nationality managers though, even higher when you'd look at CL positions historically.

 

The last Englishman to win a league title was Howard Wilkinson in 1991. Dread to think how many English managers have been relegated vs. finish 2nd-4th though.

 

That being said, managerial standard would probably be comparatively higher. Ancellotti might not even finish top 8 this season, but would be expecting to win the league in any other club in Europe's top league.
