What did Sergio Aguero ever do wrong?

The media needs a target, never ashamed to create one when required, and Aguero seems to have never matched any of the categories that enable the media to pounce on him as hero or villain.  He never seems to cause any unrest in the team and is never subject to any negative press. For the papers and plastic TV pundits, the only thing he seems to do wrong is doing everything right. 
 He netted 4 goals at Spurs in October 2014, and 10 in 3 games during the later season.  He won the Player of the Year award in the same, ironically the only year he didn't score more than 30 league goals. 

All this should imply that he be lauded like a Rooney or a Suarez  He scores reliably,  Harry Kane may be top scorer, but he has played more minutes than Aguero, and for a Statto-obsessive goal per minute means more in terms of consistent talent than goals in total.  He holds the record, above Thierry Henry, for goals per minute in the Premier League.


After joining Man City in July 2011, Aguero has been hugely consistent and has already become the club's leading ever goalscorer.  While it's true that he is not the Premier League's top scorer this season, it's also true that unlike Vardy and Kane, his club can afford to rotate and rest him rather than relying only on him to lead the line.  Vardy, in particular, is often a carrier for his team. 
 He scored six times over five matches in the Champions League group stage helping City to their first ever knockout stage of the competition.  This is all despite a succession of minor injuries and the afore-mentioned rotation system at his club.


Since the new regime reignited city, there are few names that could be picked ahead of his as being a fundamental part of the new revolution so far.  It cannot be argued that Aguero receives far too few plaudits for the consistent service of his club.  Even though he usually outperforms his more extravagant or attention-seeking rivals he remains one of the less-praised players in the EPL.

Do your Research Before Buying a PM 2.5 Pollution Mask

With development comes pollution, and though we love the benefits of a driven and vibrant economy no one likes the side effects a major example of which is air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter, tiny little pieces of material, below 2.5 microns across which is danger size for your lungs.   Particulate matter above 2.5 microns in diameter is still dangerous, but less so according to scientists.  These particles are so small that thousands of them will hide in this full stop. Particles this small will travel deep into your lungs because the body has no defence against particles this tiny.  One of your best options is the stay indoors, although even indoor levels may be high if the levels outside are high.  If you smoke cigarettes or use candles or cook with oil, then these activities will contribute to this PM 2.5 pollution.  The particulate matter is about 30 times thinner than a human hair and mostly originates from car exhaust in a city...

You're not Ninjas

You're Not Ninjas Apparently Discord employ ninjas. So do iTunes, on PC at least. Whatsapp prefer Ronin, but the motif holds. Facebook has pirates which is perfect as we know what pirates did wrong and why they died out. I just updated my profile on Linkedin, and rather than getting profile moderators to check it, can you guess? Yeah.  Wow. Apparently it's a thing now. Before you start whining about plurals in Japanese, I don't care. If I don't pluralize it, I'll be attacked by Nazis, which is worse. You're not ninjas, you're software developers. You spend your days tapping away at plastic and staring at radiation, you don't spend your days stopping your heart to float across an ocean inside a dead platypus with a collapsible graphite katana secreted inside your penisgina so you can sneak in through the sewer outlet and coldly remove a threat to our kind. I may be splitting hairs, but there's a difference. Oh, I added a friend on Skype, well may...

The Last Jedi review - part one

Is it a sign of a lack of mental fortitude to get angry at a movie?  Is it wrong for me to be blazing with rage at 3 am because something I watched didn't meet my expectations?  Is it okay to reboot a franchise by stealth, choosing to destroy its future for everyone and ruin the memories of the people who made it famous in the first place rather than facing the facts and admitting that you have no new ideas at all and are forced to reboot, but you are terrified you'll lose the fanbase and profit, that cowardice and dishonesty is your only option Disney, you scum? There's some bad structure there but I'm too angry to even care.  Does she look like she cares or does she have the shits like me? Luke and Leia and Chewy are in it, so it must be Star Wars.  They're trying to create a new generation of fans so the old guards are introducing the new.  Fair enough.  No problem with that.  I'm sure my nephew cheered when the Death Star was destroy...
