    Saying it is a poor team is disingenuous. We finished 5th with 71 points and reached EL final. That is far from a poor team. He was one of the best players of the team and come with cheap price , high performance and availability. First season rating would be A++.

      As a “neurodivergent”, bad jokes apart I much rather being made fun of because that would mean nobody would be treating me like a fucking child. If you can make fun of adhd people you can make fun of autistic people as long as they are funny. One of the best descriptions of autism on the media it’s from the onion. I would love it if they made one of these for BD people. We don’t see BD jokes as much as other disorders it might be kinda hard though to make one, since it’s a little bit more complex than other disorders. We don’t have explicit behaviors patterns such as autistics or our closest brothers schizophrenics.

      Even /r/Bipolar became a place of only serious posts it used be nice seeing some memes and whatnot

      Well made jokes are the best form to provide awareness whilst not patronising us.

      Oh look I found one talking about us!

      Kinda meh though not “offensive” enough for me, but it’s pretty accurate besides the part that says 2 or 3 years of depressive episode, I’ve never seen that lmao

        As a fan of dark humor, I get what you mean.

        Similarly, Race can be humorous when used in a humorous context.

        But in this context, calling someone autistic or suffering from autism because you’re in a debate with them is downright downplaying of a medical condition that impacts millions.

        It’s insensitive.

      We finished that league season with and xG difference per game of just +0.13, good for ninth in the league. We were a midtable team that went on a wildly flukey run of unbeaten games. As for the EL, cup runs always require some luck, they are not the best indicator of a team’s quality. That team was not good - results are not the whole story

        You don’t get lucky over 38 games. You finished where you deserved at the end of the league. Top 5 team of the PL. that is more than a good team.

            It’s mostly the madrid media and PR machine, every player instantly becomes the ‘best in the world’ when they play for Barca or Madrid.

            He’s a good box to box midfielder with an eye for goal, he’s not on the technical level of those like Zidane which people keep comparing him to.
