We're sick of snobby, uppity European tourists that are the height of ignorance. You guys are 10X worse than any American could be

This guy was completely unhinged. He was so angry in the comments. Such a lack of self awareness as well.

Granted, European tourists aren't all perfect but where's the hate coming from 😂. I can only assume that some handsome Spaniard slept with his partner before doing a runner!

Hey Europe. It's called soccer. Respect our culture. Sincerely, the country that landed on the moon, invented the internet and is about to win your sport too."

The sheer delusion! 😂🤣

"Bro whines like your typical Canadian/European communist"

How do these people get through the day? Who feeds them this nonsense and why do they believe it? 😂

Do you think Dionisi will still be here after the international break?

Following last night's loss against Bristol City, it appears there are rumours on X that he is to be sacked. No idea if it's true. Knowing Pozzo though, it absolutely wouldn't surprise me, though it would be another nail in the soul of this football club.

Descaling the showerhead

Here's the before and after. I can't convey how satisfying it was to hear the fizz as I began to spray the descaler solution on the showerhead.

It's not perfect but it's a significant improvement.

I've now gone on cleaning spree. I'm descaling the coffee machine as we speak and the soda crystals are eating away at the muck in my stainless steel pans.

Ratko Mladic - why do some see him as a hero?

I see that Ratko Mladic ,AKA the butcher of Bosnia, died in prison earlier this week. 31 years ago, he was the war criminal who was supposedly responsible for up to 100k murders in the Balkans.

I have personally visited Srebrenica and learnt about the horrors there, as well as the appalling failure of the UN peacekeeping force.

What I'm struggling to understand is why some Serbians see him as a hero. Why do they praise him? And why was he buried with full military honours?

Are there any Serbians here who share their perspective? I'm genuinely struggling to understand.

Are there some Serbians who don't see him as a hero? Is opinion divided across the country? And are his actions taught in schools today? Please help me to understand

Anyone else think the club is close to being sold?

I can't think of any other reason as to why Pozzo is putting so little effort into investing in the club.

He must have seen that the writing is on the wall. The multi-club model is not unique nowadays as many clubs do it. We've been failing on the pitch for years now and there are many other clubs with much deeper pockets than ours.

He must also be aware of the terrible track record he has of appointing managers.

So why not just wind down the investment, sell the vest players and stop writing the cheques whilst he works to sell the club?

I wonder if that's what he's doing.

No more books on Ancient Rome, please!

Is anyone else bothered by the fixation that historical fiction authors (and publishers?) have on Ancient Rome?

Don't get me wrong. It's a fascinating period in the ancient world and history as a whole. However, my goodness it's not the only point in history that's worthy of fiction.

Conn Iggulden - he did an absolutely phenomenal series on the Mongol Empire. 5 books. Superbly written and I learnt so much. I was also fascinated as this is something I'd never learnt about in history.

However, for reasons that are unknown to me, he only seems to focus on Ancient Rome and Greece now which I just find really monotonous now.

It frustrates me that authors aren't willing to push the boat out and cover a region or time period that hasn't been done to death (e.g. China's warring states, feudal Japan etc.)

Surely there's more periods of history that are deserving of fiction than just Ancient Rome?
