@Pefect_Paulinho@theLEENranger You have effectively put the returns of your UFC bet on The New Lion at 8/1 pal, but whatever helps you sleep at night ๐๐ป
He's played his whole career with his boyhood club. He's won two major trophies with them. He's regularly played Europa League and Champions League with them. Hes won the Nations League, Euros and World Cup. A wasted career? Behave.

๐ฃ๏ธ "I was just speaking to Wayne [Lordan] and he said it's probably as good a staying performance as he's ever seen. It was nice to have a horse to follow the entire way. He's a very good horse.
He has an unbelievable race record now. His stride never shortened, he just kept galloping all the way to the line. What more can you say?"
Had to check this was the official account and not a parody. He has seriously described a 0-0 against England as a win in his farewell statement ๐๐๐๐
If that doesnโt sum up the standards of Scotland as a footballing nation, I seriously donโt know what will.

Aidan O'Brien has voiced his concerns about the decision to allow geldings to run in the l'Arc de Triomphe from next year ๐ซ๐ท

The consequences for breeding and the commercial value of stallions will be catastrophic.
It will also impact the sporting appeal of the event; originally, the Arc was designed to pit the season's best European Classic winners against older horses.
Now, Classic horses will have finished their seasons by June, leaving no incentive to continue competing against older horsesโincluding geldingsโand risking the loss of their future economic value as stallions.
