Duracell reacted to Rev in The billionaire space race
I drew a similar rocket 30 years ago in GCSE Art.
The only place it took me was the headmasters office.

Duracell got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Krystian Bielik
I'd largely agree, although I think some of it is down to the fact that he really clicked in 13/14 and that's probably slightly elevated our view of him a bit.
My point is, while we can think of ACLs ruining careers, it doesn't have to be the case. Even if he only ever recovers to 90%, a 90% Beilik is still a force of nature.
We have a million things to be pessimistic about without throwing this one into the pile.

Okay but the point was that three ACLs haven't significantly impacted his form/ability, to the point where many have forgotten it ever happened.
Unless the argument is that ACL injuries are more ACL-ey if you're more talented?

Sone Aluko is the kind of player that always causes us massive problems when we play against him, but will immediately become useless the moment he signs for us.

Ridiculous statement. Nobody is arguing that, not even Red Bull.
The debate is whether the move was too risky. It’s not possible at that speed to crash in a way that takes out your opponent and leaves you with a minor scratch at that speed.

Bielik, the new Forsyth.
That should help us all sleep soundly.

Duracell got a reaction from RadioactiveWaste in F1 2021
Really glad to hear it mate! It's genuinely awesome to hear of people having a good time given the past 18 months we've had, no matter how jealous I am.
Decided to forgo the Grand Prix and go bigger and risk Le Mans tickets. Sadly looks like I can't travel.

Duracell reacted to EtoileSportiveDeDerby in F1 2021
Vale on the bank with a great view of Club I 'll ask my son when he gets up but it sounded like Lewis answering but with the noise around i could well be wrong. Everybody was laughing and shaking their heads. Best week end, i have had for bloody ages.

I believe that was between Toto Wolff and Michael Masi, the race director. Still funny - the race director is nothing to do with the steward's decision. Him and Christian Horner peppering him with complaints is a little like when managers crowd the fourth official in football. He can't do anything!
Where did you end up watching from?

No sure if that was played on c4/sky but on the F1 radio. There was a really funny exchange between toto wolf and Lewis following the crash and deliberation between the assessors. Toto said "Lewis I sent you an email re. Some points of regulation Lewis replied "I don't read my emails when I am racing". Superb.

Duracell reacted to JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta in F1 2021
Horner and Verstappens bleating afterwards annoyed me.
Both drivers were pushing it, in this instance Max came off worse. Had it been Lewis in the wall Horner would be noshing Max off for being brave and uncompromising in pursuit of a world championship.
It's racing. If you want drivers to push each other this is what can happen. You can't go swimming without getting wet.

Some drivers will err on the side of caution, but this new format will bring out the best in others. Alonso gained so much from his awesome start yesterday, and it meant he was “out of position” doing what he does best, getting his elbows out against less talented or experienced drivers in faster cars.
This always happens with a format change. Jarno Trulli was a very average Grand Prix driver, but had the measure of anybody over a single lap. The single-lap runs of the early 2000s suited him right down to the ground.
Incredible race today. Interested to see what others on this thread make of the early move!

Duracell got a reaction from S8TY in Training Photos
I remember when I was 15, I convinced my mate from Market Harborough to get the train up with me from Kettering to watch Nigel Clough's Derby train at Loughborough.
Took me 90 mins to get there. Watched the squad run around for a bout 10 mins, then Robbie Savage gave me a look which said "wtf are you doing here?" and in that moment, I thought "I genuinely don't know what I'm doing with my life" and I went home.
From that moment on, I vowed never to spend my pocket money on watching Conor Doyle and Saul Deeney run around a university campus ever again.
