        Not really, because it didn't change the structure of English football. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 12:15
        
        I mean this is literally why the EPL was created - spamlet Apr 19, 12:13 2
        
        I mean it basically just put a new hat on things - Reagen Apr 19, 12:17 1
        
        Because they were at war over money with the Football League and they thought it would kill it. -- nm* - spamlet Apr 19, 12:33

      - Barnsley fans suddenly getting louder. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 11:46
      - I doubt they’d just be allowed back up, to my understanding one of the conditions to promotion is meeting all the requirements of your new league -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 19, 11:43 3
        
        Then why bother relegating them? Just kick them out altogether. If others follow suit then Super League would just be a new entire league. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 11:46 2
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Apr 19, 11:50
        
        The other funny suggestion - the other 14 join and form the English Super League. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 11:49
      - This is such a mess. Would they care? They’d be making their money from Super League. Meanwhile the Prem TV contract is worth half. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 11:42

I have Dr. Pepper Cherry Zero Sugar - oblique Apr 19, 10:22 7
- Vanilla Coke Zero is the bomb. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 10:43
- I thought it tasted sweeter than regular old diet dr. pepper cherry. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 19, 10:38 1
  - Yes. There's something smoother/sweeter about it. Less bite. -- nm - oblique Apr 19, 10:42

  - While humorous, this seems disparaging of people who legitimately feel they need to quit social media due to its toxic nature. -- nm - Mop Apr 19, 10:23 5
    - I don't understand some of the fretting. I tweet multiple times a week every week and never encounter any toxicity. - Max Apr 19, 10:39 3

    - I think it's a shot at the drama aesthetic. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:26 5
      - Though I think if you’re taking a break from social media, it’s better to explain why. The drama gets created regardless. - Roger More Apr 19, 10:41 1
        
        Ha ha I posted this before reading pfm’s comment on B2 -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 10:48
      - She’s back on Twitter today with basically that message. -- nm - spamlet Apr 19, 10:27 2
        
        She literally can not continue to market her business or brand WITHOUT Twitter. Instagram is only one prong of the marketing machine -- nm - Pippy Apr 19, 12:22
        
        Ah. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:35
I'm positive there's no causation but it kind of makes me giggle that Tottenham opens the season with a 1-0 loss to Everton then draws in the replay - JD Apr 19, 10:18 3
- It's been a super weird season. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 10:21 2
  - For both clubs. We're really good, we're really bad, we're kind of good but we're hurt, we're really good and CL here we come...oh..well..maybe not - JD Apr 19, 10:24 1
    - Spurs were top of the table halfway through the season. Thrown away so many points I can't even remember them all. The 81st minute is a nightmare. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 10:27
B2: Shaun, I went for the Titan series for the added height and the Horde design because the red looks so sharp. -- (pic) - Baron Nefcy Apr 19, 10:18 [Attachment] 3

    - True. -- nm - Shaun Apr 19, 11:35
"Are you finished all the projects?" "Yes. Wait no. Can I get paper copies of them?" "I gave you paper copies, but... are you sure you don't have it?" - Classroom Transcripts Apr 19, 10:16

Now that I have the new kitchen light in, I may end up replacing our kitchen ceiling fan. I would have to measure the height but... -- (link) - oblique Apr 19, 10:13 2
