Seems unless you win with 80% possession and 700 passes your achievement becomes non impressive and just there. A team that won 3 champions league titles in a row in it's current format is just there. Guardiola you do this one.

There are many ways to skin a cat

People only associate greatness with a definable identity within the remit of what they can quantify (tikitaka, catenaccio, total football, WM formation). If you no brand your winning style, you are not great. All na packaging. Real Madrid should have branded their 3 peat style.

Callum Hudson-Odoi to Strasbourg, here we go!

Full agreement reached between all parties, Strasbourg set to pay €60m in four installments, Hudson-Odoi joins on a four year deal worth €6m per year.

Medicals scheduled for this weekend in France. Official announcement to come soon after.

Is this a joke?

Boehly will end in handcuffs by season end if this is true

Auba, Lukaku, Sterling, Odoi, Puli, Kepa, Cukuruku, Azpi

Saudi shouldn't dull, we still have cheap deals on the table. All these players are willing to take Muslim names like Austin "Muhammed Yavuz" Okocha and Uche "Deniz Uygar" Okechukwu did when obtaining Turkish citizenship

These players will have no problem confessing the shahada, la ilaha illallah.

Oga go watch videos of tiger/ lion battles, before coming here to type what you don’t know

You can only be watching videos with Tiger cubs vs adult Lions

There is nowhere an adult Tiger will not best an adult lion

Gary Neville has called for the Premier League to put an instant halt on transfers to Saudi Arabia amid Chelsea’s potential sales.

"I do believe, at this moment in time, transfers should be halted until you look into the ownership structure at Chelsea and whether there are beneficial transfer dealings that are improper."

Make Neville chill first till we clear our deadwoods

Will be happy if we sign savic, he's cheaper now compared last summer TF.

30 to 40 milli.

Which Savic? Lazio Savic?

What's going on in Scotland?

Bohley has blood on his hands if he sells Havertz to Arsenal. Since when did we start selling our best players to common Arsenal?

Which best player?

Which season did Havertz chart in our top 5 POTS awards

Oga in a fight between the lion and a tiger irrespective of size, the lion always wins cos of its stamina n doggedness. Funny thing is when it comes to battling other animals the tiger seem to appear stronger of the two. Meaning the tiger is far more deadly with other animals compared to the lion….

Not only Siberian tiger will kill lion, any species of tiger will kill any species of Lion. Tigers are bigger, stronger, more agile, and are solo killers unlike lions who run in gangs. Tigers are also much less friendly with zero forgiving spirit. A lion can actually let a human go, they have more conscience, while a tiger has less conscience than a reptile,

Grizzly bear easily

It's obvious many don't watch nature programs

Gorilla is the most vulnerable, even anaconda can take him out if care is not taken

Cats always beat non-poisonous constrictors. Jaguars kill anacondas everyday in the Amazon

Leaving Lion vs Grizzly. The grizzy is powerful enough to break the lions back and tear off it's face with one swipe

⚡Briefing by Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces (RCBD) of the Russian Armed Forces, on the analysis of documents related to US military and biological activities.

🔹 Kiev's planned flooding of Kherson Oblast territories could form pockets of mosquito-borne West Nile fever;

🔹The Pentagon is trying to obtain populations of small animals carrying HIV and hepatitis B; mosquito cultures infected with hepatitis B virus have already been obtained;

🔹The 🇺🇸 U.S. has reached a high level of technical readiness to use infected vectors, as evidenced by a patent for a drone designed to spread airborne infected mosquitoes;

🔹A network of overseas branches of military institutes gives the U.S. access to bioweapons agents;

🔹The U.S. takes its bioweapons program customers out of the picture;

🔹Increased incidents in U.S. biolaboratories are one reason for their transfer to Ukraine;

🔹Influenza incidence of migratory birds in Russia increased due to their migration from 🇺🇦 Ukraine;

🔹US search for methods of using infectious disease agents;

🔹 A special operation obtained documents on Metabiota's work in Africa on behalf of the State Department;

🔹U.S. studies insect-borne diseases uncharacteristic of North America.

Russia should try and make their propaganda believable please

Only you blow dam, only you say enemy did it to spread mosquitoes

Russian propaganda is for stupid people like 90% of the residents of this thread

What Russians in Russia think about the war in Ukraine and how it has affected them.

Actual Russians o, not these Online Nairaland wannabe Russians.

Umudike Russians will not like this

The day they will catch Boehly for magomago won't be funny

I'm sure he is now on their radars after that stunt he pulled with Ugarte by disguising transfer fee as investment in Sporting Lisbon, this Paramount sponsorship thing and Saudi (who are Clearlake investors) conveniently buying all our unwanted players

Yes boss! Today I am feeling Saudi.

You have to give it up to Boehly. These guys are extremely creative business men.

If only Lukaku had joined in the matter this transfer window would already be A+

Kyiv attack was a distraction because Ukraine took it military men from the east to go protect kyiv and this made Russia to capture those four regions easily
. It military 101.

Russia and it's allies already controlled most of Donbass and Crimea before 2022. They don't hold the Capitals of Kherson and Zaporizhia, so what did they achieve of significance?

If you have prime Messi suarez Neymar as your forwards there is no way you are taking any individual award over any of them ,unlike when you parade Haaland that ghosted are the ucl finals or kdb that’s always injured( Not his fault )

The bolded and Xavi are the reason he won those titles in the first place to be even considered for nomination

There are many awards specific to your position such as Midfielder of the year, FIFPRO11, even UEFA team of the season, he no smell

So what has BRICS got to do with war, since it's just an economic cooperation? Who's sounding retarded now huh?

Economic unions who share the same philosophy don't go to war doofus.

So I ask again, what is the shared ideology/philosophy of BRICS?

I read the books too. The rule of thumb is that TV series are usually poor adaptations of the source material, with the odd exception here and there.
That is why whenever i watch historical series i prepare myself beforehand, so that i won't spend the whole time criticizing.

The advantage The Last Kingdom has over Vikings is that it tries to keep an accurate historical narrative. Vikings, for entertainment value, conflated different Viking stories from different locales and even different time periods into the same narrative. For instance how can Rollo who died around 930 be the uncle of Ivar the Boneless who died 60 years before around 870. Rollo in particular does not fit with the Ragnar story but there are other smaller discrepancies.

The lead actor in The Last Kingdom looks too soft, he is not as barbaric as the protagonist in the books and his accent as the narrator is off-putting. It would have been better without narration.

Vikings series though not historically accurate was a good series until Ragnars sons came into play, then it all turned to nonsense. Thats when I stopped watching

There is another Viking series on Netflix called Vikings Valhalla. The first season was fire, I'm yet to watch the second one.

The best Vikings book for conversion to series will be the trilogy of books by Tim Severin. If that one is turned into series, it will melt faces. Tim Severins books had more entertainment/dramatic value than Bernard Cornwells. That story is like Vikings meets Passport of Mallam Ilya meets Count of Monte Cristo

🤡 🇬🇷 Greece and 🇹🇷 Turkey are both "democracies", in NATO. They're on the brink of war

You have always been very slow upstairs

NATO is a military alliance, not an economic one like Brics

The appropriate comparison is EU

Turkey is not in EU. It is an autocratic state and is the one talking about resolving conflict by violence rather than dialogue. It is part of NATO for one reason and one reason only - its control of the entrance to the Black sea, not because of any ideological cohesion with other member states.

In EU (or former EU) states alone, there are lots of territorial disputes eg Gibraltar between Spain and UK, Lake Constance between Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Gulf of Piran between Slovenia and Croatia, Dollar bay between Germany and Holland, Mont Blanc between France and Italy, Olivenza between Spain and Portugal etc etc etc. It is only hungry men and autocrats that fight over territory.

1) Rome

This is the best there is. They stopped it prematurely after 2 seasons because of production costs. Historically acurate, excellent writing and acting.

2) The White Queen

3) The White Princess

4) Spartacus

5) Vikings

6) The Last Kingdom

I loved Rome, Spartacus and Vikings

Because of that, I need to check out The White Princess and The White Queen

Not a fan of The Last Kingdom maybe because I read the books by Bernard Cornwell and find the series a poor adaptation of them, or perhaps because I can't stand the lead actor

chrisooblog:
Never really got into lost. Too much confusing supernatural/sci-fi nonsense that made it hard to keep.

When it comes to movie or series tropes I can almost shoot any writer that makes use of 'it was all a dream' rubbish.

Lost only started that Supernatural thing from season 5, that's where they lost me

The "others" was sufficiently natural until season 5

⚡️ 🇷🇸 Vučić: BRICS is a big question for the future

Membership in BRICS, which is becoming increasingly popular, is a question for the future, that is, for new generations.

- As far as Serbia is concerned, I cannot know what it will do in 15 or 20 years, but if BRICS is joined by Indonesia, which has announced the submission of a request, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, if Nigeria is there, some of countries of Latin America, possibly Bangladesh, Iran, then the map of the world changes dramatically, underlined Vučić.

What is the underlying philosophy that unites Brics? Autocracy?

Democracies don't go to war with each other. No autocratic coalition can ever last because dictators will eventually fight.

Inside the same Brics, India and China are the fiercest of rivals and China is doing all it can to checkmate India with Pakistan and co
