Premier League Thread 2016/17 v140: Dortmund BLESS, Barca BLESS

[Edwin]

How was Andrea Periera?

He didn't really contribute much from what I remember. Ochoa, Foulquier, Wakaso and Ramos were the best for Granada, namely Ochoa.

@hoonosewot88 is a Lincoln fan.

Imagine the lulz ITT if they win. A spurs supporting Imp

Fan is an exaggeration, they're definitely my second team though. Try to get down to Sincil Bank to watch a game every now and then.

Have been following this FA Cup run though, went to the Ipswich and Brighton games, and went to the game at the Emirates today. Everyone seemed to have a fun time regardless of the result. Arsenal are a nightmare team for lower league opposition.

The Arsenal support was absolutely shocking though. I realise this is an FA Cup game against a lower league team, and with all the Wenger shit going on people are already tense, but there was literally no support in that stadium tonight. I was in there from 30 minutes before kick off to 10 minutes after final whistle, and there were three Arsenal chants in that time period, and they were all pretty timid. Worse than that, there wasn't a single chant in the first half, first thing i heard was around the 50th minute.

I know premier league crowds are getting quieter across the board now as they're pricing the vocal supporters out, i've noticed it at Spurs as well, but tonight was some next level apathy. I mean at least whip up a chant when you score for fuck sake.

@Dr J ^ This. They're great.

Appreciate the effort you put in to recreate Rostov's pitch too. Wont learn shit on any of them fairy academy pitches that're trimmed like carpet.

If there's any company that has pissed me off almost as much as AT&T it is Scott's/TruGreen. We bought the house a few months before we moved to North Carolina. Of course, the lawn was nearly dead when we got here.
The ground was like compact sand, and it made Rostov's pitch look like Wembley.

Spoiler: The Before Pitch

Well I was moving from a town home with a small patch of grass I mowed with a manual mower to a full sized lawn for the first time. I knew next to nothing about lawn care aside from the fact that my lawn looked hideous. We had some work going on in our backyard for a few months (never let your missus pick the contractor based on his 4 good reviews on a website called Thumbtack ); I decided to make the lawn my pet project for the spring. I put in all the work--soiling, aeration, seeding, fertilizing, lime, watering, etc. You name it, and I was killing off valuable hours doing it. I was actually pretty proud of the results--one of those times where I felt hard work paid off.

Spoiler: The After Pitch

Anyways, summer rolls around, and we hit this massive drought with temperatures in the mid 90's for nearly 2 months. No amount of watering could keep it alive, and it turned to dirt and weeds. I didn't have the time to redo everything, so we hired a lawn service. They've been almost as good to our yard as AT&T has been to our cable and Internet.

I'm selling the place in a couple months, so I don't even care anymore.

Spoiler: Blokey Cliffs

Lawn was crap.
Put in hard work, and the lawn looked great.
Lawn died in a heatwave/drought.
Lawn service took over.
Lawn looks subpar at best.

Ouch!

When we first moved into our house i made the exact same mistake. Took me two full weekends digging up the old lawns front & back & hauling the weeds/excess dirt to the city dump. Seeding is the absolute worst.

Several years later i dug it up again & had a friend of a laborer i used install a sprinkler system & i layed lush Marathon sod this time. Great investment. Only cost 0.50c per sqft for the sod. Came on 2 pallets, free delivery! All in i did about 3000sqft of sod plus the sprinkler system & labor for about 3 grand. Crazy good deal!! Guy was happy making a few days pay over the weekend.

Still looks pretty decent but you can never keep it looking like new. Weeds from neighbours yards & two vacant end lots find the way over through the air.

Its a constant battle tryna keep it in good shape

Why do Arsenal fans give other fans more attention than they actually give the club or players itself?

I think it'd be hilarious if @Kadafi posted more tweets @JuanCR7RM trying to get himself over than actual tweets pertaining something club related.

We looked into a sprinkler system right off the bat. Got in touch with a few companies. The cheapest quote--$4K.

I didn't have 4 grand lying around, and I knew we were only going to be in the house for 3-4 years max. I put the hoses on timers and had been waking up early to move them to make sure everything got watered. It was a total pain in the ass, so after a year we looked back into the sprinkler system. The quotes now--$6K.

One thing is for sure, my forever home will have a sprinkler system.

Yeah, being in construction saves me a fortune on house maintenance/upgrades.I always bump into folk on jobs who offer their service at mates rates. I'm never in a rush so can wait until they hit a slow patch.

I had a couple General contractors quote a new patio extension for my backyard at 14k. Called around a few contacts & ended up using my painter who unbeknownst to me had worked for a handyman before for a decade.

Ended up costing me 2.5k labor & approx 1.5k for materials. And that included doing the roof. With a sunlight!


Kitchen is the next project. Had a quote for 12k to refinish cabinets. Fuck that. I'll pay a laborer to strip the lead paint off. Know a guy who just does cabinet doors & will have my painter install them with new hinges & then spray them with lacquer finish.

Will cost me about 2.5k

Someone should stop Vitor from fighting already. Dude has ZERO head movement left.

Welbeck, Lingard...great ambition shown by Arsenal lol

Tules is gone from the fred, no need to @ him

 

[Nowhere Fast]

@Deffid @SebbeSwe You chaps see this yesterday. LOL! Weiser was watching Suarez in the week, imo.

Considering all Lingard does is score big goals in finals I want more than Canchez for him.

Canchez + Wenker signs a new deal should cover it, imo.

He should get a retrospective ban for that bs

Hell he is. He'll be back soon.

He was caught to be fair. How he picked up the ball and kicked him away was way worse imo, we see acting every week now lol...

Ginter beat us yesterday, no one else.

At least KagawaBae had a moment of magic.

@UltimateVictory No doubt in my mind Moyseh ruined the poor lad.
