I love when a comment is so wrong, that I get to pick the way I want to rip it apart.
1) United’s had an academy product in every match day squad for 88 years. That’s more than any other club in the fucking world, leave alone those two tin pots.
2) Until another English club wins the treble with 7 academy players in the squad, none has an academy that is even on-par with United.
3) In the last 10 years, United have had 73 academy graduates play in the top 5 leagues. City have had 59; Chelsea, 51.
4) In that same time, United have had 37 academy graduates actually play for the club; Chelsea, 27; city, 19.
When it comes to the highest highs, United wins. When it comes to the longest run, United wins. When it comes to the most players in the top 5 leagues, United wins. When it comes to the most academy players to actually play for the club that trained them, United wins.
There are exactly two clubs with academies to even begin to rival United— Barca and Ajax. Nobody else comes close.
i've been watching my brother teach himself electrical and mechanical engineering so he can build a device that automatically detects deer and sprays them with water when they are in his yard. He has no engineering or math background at all. It's just driven by the hatred
I was watching a video on Trevor Noah’s podcast and they were talking about hedonic adaptation. This basically means that people always return to a stable baseline level of happiness after major positive or negative life events or changes. The more positive changes you experience, the higher your baseline level becomes and vice versa.
He made an example about how Warren Buffet can live a seemingly frugal life at face value but he has luxuries he cannot compromise on. He drives a normal car and lives in a normal house but uses private jets and has expressed how much they mean to him and the convenience they provide.
Most people have their own version of that “private jet” on their income level so what’s yours?
Love Yourz is the type of song that gets better with every listen. And when you think you've listened to it enough times, you go back again and get reminded why it's the best song to ever exist.
Now that they’ve said it, you start noticing it everywhere.
"Building a business...."
"Learning how to...."
"Trying to figure out...."
"Working on...."
"Realising that...."
Once you notice it, every tweet starts looking like the same sentence wearing different clothes.
And for anyone wondering, a gerund is basically a verb ending in -ing that is used like a noun, like "Building," "Learning," or "Working."
