Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The festive fixture list finally draws to its conclusion this evening as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to White Hart Lane at 8pm.

Four of the top seven captains for Gameweek 20 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku – have already found the net earlier in the week.

The remaining three, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane, have it all to do, then, with Costa the most popular of that trio – 11.6% have backed the Spain international, compared to Hazard (4.7%) and Kane’s 2.8%.

Costa, certainly, has been the more impressive of the Chelsea pair on his travels – the Spain international has scored eight away goals compared to Hazard’s two.

Yet the league leaders won’t have it easy – Spurs boast the tightest home defence in the top-flight, with just five goals against in front of their own fans.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been similarly resilient, conceding just one goal in six away matches since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 set-up.

Nonetheless, many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on Kane along with Deli Alli and Christian Eriksen, with the fixtures set to smile kindly on Spurs from Gameweek 21 onwards.

    Hey DZ. Repost here, thanks for those who already commented:

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Baines Holebas Pieters (McAuley Amat)
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Philips (Capoue)
    Ibra Kane Carroll

    2.5m, 1FT

    Cheers in advance

      Holebas and Carroll the weak links

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        And Amat. Defence more important for me to address?

    2. Canary_Kid
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Holebas to Daniels or Ake if you want cash but it seems that you've got a lot of that already so I'd go for Daniels

        good shout thanks

      Carroll to Defoe/Benteke

      1. Geoff

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I like Defoe, want Lukaku though. Cheers thanks

      Carroll has to go
      Giroud is the risk=reward option

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ah he is, but not for me.

        I'm playing conservative this year and trying not to bring in anyone who has any doubt over game time.

        He'll become Defoe I think

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Ok i dig
          How about
          A Defoe to Lukaku
          B Defoe to Diomande or other cheepie and upgrade Capoue and play 352

          1. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I meant Carroll instead of Defoe

            7 years, 10 months ago

            Lukaku is who I want but I'm 0.9m away from it. I'm watching Hazard closely which would allow Lukaku, or Costa I guess.

            I'm also not playing 352 this year haha I find I always want more money up front soon after. Trying to keep a steady team structure

    Alli due to rise.

    Im jumping on this train. Bye firmino

          Only other thing I'd look at is Walcott, if he is passed fit

          1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

            Had wally for a bit. Never going there again scored a few goals but blanked more times for me.

          Some ugly fixtures + Mane gone + who knows when Coutinho 100% + can't keep getting punched in the face by those Alli returns.

    3. Ógie

      Alli is essential now

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Not quite, but a great option. Sideways Eriksen > Alli I don't think is necessary

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          It seems like both Eriksen and Alli might be the way to go

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I'm tempted. Kane Eriksen Alli seems crazy though

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I have all 3 now

              You have to be a little bit crazy to play this game

        Anybody with form is essential.

        Im not picking alli cos hes alli and hes amazing. Only cos hes in form not cos hes "essential"

    Sanchez Lallana Eriksen Phillips De Roon
    Costa Ibra Origi
    4.8 itb ..... Willing to spend this..... Quite a few issues like Barragan and Origi....
    I have already used my FT... But am willing to take a hit or two
    Suggestions?

    1. reeceyboy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Origi to Defoe.

      Barragan to Brunt.

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I might think about Origi > Lukaku

  4. The Big Fella
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Had Walker. Sold him to get cash for Aguero. Now sold Hazard for Alli so looking to bring him or Rose into the fold......... which should I choose?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rose

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rose probably

  5. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Stanislas or Defoe

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Defo defoe

  6. jon.terry.tfh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Got in Defoe and Walker for a -4 this week. Very disappointed with Hazard. Should I take a -8 and get Alli/Eriksen instead of him? Leicester away and Hull home sounds very tasty to me though...but his output has been pathetic during the last 5 6 gameweeks...

    Thoughts?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Do you have Costa? If not keep Haz

    2. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No stop taking hits to chase last week's points

    1. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looking very nice. I assume haz becomes alli in two weeks, unless form drastically changes.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Your team looks solid wait for FA cup or do Hazard>Alli and catch the price swing

    3. Geoff

      WC? Looks nice!

      1. Speédy
        • 8 Years

        Not a wildcard,but -4s last 3 weeks

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How's this after I do -4 tomo 1.7m itb

      Grant Valdes
      Alonso Jones Ake(Holebas Amat)
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Stanislas (Forshaw)
      Ibra Kane Giroud

      1. Speédy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        If you have 1.7 itb,go lukaku instead of GRU,Sanchez still the first choice striker imo

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Lol no he isn't. Giroud has started the last 3 and scored a goal in each and involved in every goal in the 3 goal comeback.

          1. Speédy
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Well,upto you,we will find out when Walcott is fit

  8. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lallana out for Alli a good move for -4?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If u cant afford hin after price rise then do it.

      If u can then dont take a hit

      1. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Have exact money so will need to make the move before then next rise. Do worry about missing most of Alli's points though especially when Lallana keeps exploding whenever I don't have him

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Do it then.
          I wanted to wait a week but due to rhe imminent price rise. I had to pull the trigger

  9. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Foster

    Jones Luiz Vertonghen
    Hazard Sanchez Zaha Alli Phillips
    Aguero Costa

    Subs - Jaku Ake Grabban Lenihan

    If you had to guess my team value, what would it be???

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      haha average?

    2. Diva
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      ~106m TV? ~103m SV?

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        What does SV mean?

        1. Diva
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Sale Value - i.e. how much money you would have to build a new team if you sold everybody.

          1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Ok so my TV is 103.7 and my SV is 102.1

            Good or bad?? Trying to grt the hang of this thing. Im constantly being told its important

            1. Diva
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              It's not stunning, but you've put a decent team together for that money so don't worry about it too much. I have a bit more to spend than you and have a similar amount tied up on my bench but you don't really notice the extra cash much in my first 11:

              Heaton
              Alonso - Nyom - Aké
              Sánchez - Hazard - Lallana - Phillips
              Agüero - Kane - Costa

  10. Sebbo29
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    what would you do with this lot? Almost tempted to hit the WC button as too many non-performing players i.e. Carroll, Siggy, A. Smith, Holebas, Pickford, Allen etc.

    Grant (Pick)
    Walker/Alonso/Kosc (A. Smith/Holebas)
    Haz/Lallana/Antonio/Siggy (Allen)
    Ibra/Kane/Carroll

    0.1 ITB. 1 FT

    DEF actually looks OK this week so maybe just something like Siggy & Carroll --> Stanislas/Phillips & Defoe for a -4?

    Thanks lads

    1. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't wildcard. Those moves look pretty good this week though

      1. Sebbo29
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        thanks bud, WC is tempting but i think i'll hold off and just take a hit or two

  11. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    1.9 to spend 2FT somebody??

    Heaton
    Luiz / Brunt / Koscielny
    Sanchez / Lallana / Hazard / Phillips
    Ibra / Anichebe / Kane

    Bench: Jaku, Amat, Love, Barry.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good team. I like it. Dont make FTs for the sake of it.

      Upgrade barry to stanislas and you're good

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        then im stuck with anichebe still

    2. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      With that bench,you need a better third striker than anichebe

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        what would u suggest

        1. Speédy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I would keep him this week,give haz a final chance,if haz doesn't return to from ,u can do haz+anichebe-eriksen/allli+defoe

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard to Alli
      Anchebe to Defoe
      Easy!

  12. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    There was an article about changing premium strikers next few weeks. Thinking about Kane>Costa for Hull then Costa>Kane

    1. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be wary about using up transfers to micromanage the schedule. _Maybe_ if you're doing it to enable a certain captain where you don't have a good alternative.

    2. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Waste of transfers

  13. thep025
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth doing Lallana - >Alli if u already have Eriksen?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I did Hazard>Alli today and I have Eriksen and Kane already

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Absolutely not

    3. Sebbo29
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      hmmm tough call but i think i'd keep Lallana for SWA and hul

    4. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe not, but I did it.

  14. Arctic monkeys
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone on here benching Brunt against Spurs. Got four playerin that game: Kane Eriksen Phillips and Brunt, so considering it myself.

    1. Sebbo29
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      depends on the rest of your DEF and MID

    2. Needo22
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. The alternative for me is Chambers away at Watford. Dont fancy WBA will shut Spurs out on recent form, so would rely on attacking points from Brunt. Which he is perfectly capable of producing. Leaning towards Chambers at the moment...

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, Kinda thinking the same but the attacking threat from Brunt could be so minimal due to spurs back line and even if they do open up I can rely on phillips to do the dammage. That's what I'm thinking now, could easily change my mind.

        1. Needo22
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that's reasonable. I think Spurs are pretty good at defending balls into the box. So maybe Brunts threat will be minimised?

              I made some silly moves. I was trying out some options with the price change deadline looming and then got pulled into real life matters. Rather than hit reset and accept I would be priced out of the moves, I stupidly hit confirm before shutting down the computer. Story of my season. I'm rushing my transfers rather than giving myself time to think about them. I'm guessing I'd still be in LMS if I hadn't made the moves. 🙁

                Still a long way to go in the season. I'm pretty much treading water whereas most of the mods are flying.

                  I'd prefer to be treading water in your position than mine. That urge to shake things up was a factor in hitting confirm. Shook things up the wrong way sadly.

                    Can't complain about my position. Team needs a bit of help so may need a hot or 2 to fix things. A really good GW isn't too far which can take 50% off your rank or more.

    How is Lukaku as an option right now? Do I go for Origi->Lukaku?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Origi to anyone seems good atm.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He is nailed on plays for a ok team and has decent fixtures had to argue with

    3. Sebbo29
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      you never know with Trollkaku but he is certainly a better option than Origi, so if you can do it for free and have no other pressing issues then i'd say go ahead

      1. thep025
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I need to replace Origi.... Have 4.8 itb but do not want to spend all of it and save some of it for the future.... Who do you suggest? Team is posted in another question above if u want to know....

        1. Sebbo29
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          saw your team now and yeah i still like this move, Defoe the other option if you need to save even more money

        2. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I think it's a good move although if sturridge is hurt origi could perform with mane out

    4. Diva
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I like it.

    Dead teams slowing dying off with Costa fails.

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good to hear. They make regular players look like fools.

  18. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I really can't see Giroud as a rotation risk. He's performed coming off the bench, he's performed when he starts...Wenger will definitely see that, and considering Iwobi's performances as well, I can see him going for a midfield three of Sanchez-Ozil-Walcott behind Giroud when all are fit.

    I'm taking the punt. With that form and those fixtures, as well as the surprise reluctance everyone has towards getting him, he's a prime differential.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How could and manager drop a player in that kinda form ?
      I think it is a lot safer than some of the other options out there and there is big rewards to be had from this move imo

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        For a manager that gets slated enough by virtually everyone, he'd be out of his mind to drop a player in this form and with the goals he's scoring. I think Wenger likes Giroud too.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          He always was going to get a run of games at some stage i think this is it
          Giroud is like Wallcott when he is in the Arsenal 1st team you want him in your fpl team

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nice. You do it knowing he can get rotated. Massive potential in the next few. It's all risk v reward

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I think it's definitely worth the gamble, especially because people haven't jumped on yet.

    3. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Giroud literally every year...

  19. thep025
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Haven't watched Spurs games recently.... Can anyone sum up each of Eriksen and Alli's performances and threat?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Excellent
      Excellent

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Dangerous. They didn't have many chances but we're clinical when they did.
      That being said, Chelsea basically gave Alli free space to recieve the crosses.. bad defending and Eriksens deadly crosses with 2 clinical finishes from Alli basically sums it up.

    3. Needo22
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I've only seen a bit. They both have a tendency to drift in and out a little. But a lot of the good stuff Spurs have been doing going forward has been through Eriksen. Alli is turning up in the right areas and getting in good scoring positions. The trend of the last few weeks - Eriksen assisting Kane/Alli basically sums things up.

  20. Kered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    So I've bit my tongue after a horrid week dropping roughly 30k places.

    Brought in Origi (c) 1 week punt and Friend for Valencia which ended horribly, stuck by and defended Hazard even though my gut was saying to switch to Alli last gw.
    Origi > Barnes (hopefully he's still nailed on)
    Hazard > Alli
    3-5-2 the way im going after missing Eriksen points this week as I gave myself a rotation headache and played the fixtures over form..

    Good moves? Will keep an eye on Hazard before he plays Hull and may bring him back after he drops in price.

    Writing an article for LMS this week.

    Want to mention regular posters either inside the top 5/10K or top 50 in live HoF.

        Of course, looked at your live HoF and last season along with this one makes you one of the form players on the site.

          Ever since i have started lurking around this site which is about 4 years ago or so now my fpl output has improved considerably

              Work and life got in the way sadly so i could not pay the attention that is needed to do well

        http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/01/05/last-chance-to-enter-the-last-man-standing-competition/

        Should be similar with different numbers and names.

          I hate that gameweek 4. If not for it, I would still have been in the competition.

  22. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Should I do Lallana > Stanislas & Anichebe > Defoe

    Heaton
    Luiz / Brunt / Koscielny
    Sanchez / Lallana / Hazard / Phillips
    Ibra / Anichebe / Kane

    Bench: Jaku, Amat, Love, Barry.

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd keep Lallana personally. He's great value

    2. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd drop Hazard before Lallana honestly. He has much higher value

  23. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Some big names on Jontys Goals imminent table.

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Easy captain choice this week for the player at the top of that table.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I think 2nd from the bottom would be a decent punt

  24. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Just checked profit/loss on hits for the season. +78pts 😀

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Means little if you captain imports etc.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Just Ibra 15pts was captain

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Oh no Lukaku too

  25. Kered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who to start?
    Barnes (SOU)
    Phillips (tot)
    Brunt (tot)

    I'm leaning towards Barnes only because southampton shipped 3 last game and Burnley not doing to bad offensively lately.
    The other 2 options are playing a solid defense.

    1. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go Phillips > Barnes > Brunt based on form

    2. Sebbo29
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      i'd probably play Phillips if i had to choose out of these three but it's a coin flip to me (has to be a three-sided coin though 😉

      1. Kered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yea it's a tough choice. Really will depend how highly I rate Spurs defense come deadline.

  26. peco12
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any suggestions to replace Zaha? I have 6.4 ITB

    1. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Phillips, Stanislas, Snodgrass.... tons of great options

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Phillips I'd you don't already have him.

  27. squire345
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    tom davies of everton may well start for them for the rest of the season...4.3 and 0.1 ownership

    1. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Great 5th mid option in a 3-4-3

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He looks like a great enabler if he does

  28. thep025
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I want to pull the trigger... Want a final confirmation.... Origi to Lukaku or Defoe?
    Money isn't an issue actually as I have around 4.8 itb...

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku for sure

  29. peco12
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Really stuck and need help 0.7ITB 1FT
    Really want Ali cant seem to work out how to fit him.
    Zaha also out
    Orgi on rotation
    HELP PLEASE!

    Grant (Pickford)
    Lovren, Alonzo, Gibson (Holebas, Friend)
    Lallana, Sanchez, Phillips, Zaha (Capoue)
    Kun, Ibra, Orgi

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It seems as though Kun is the issue..
      Team looks low in value everywhere else.
      Kun > Costa/Kane
      Zaha > Alli

    2. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha to Stanislas or Snoddy
      Play Origi with Capoue or Friend as a first sub if Origi doesn't play...

    3. squire345
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      IF benteke is out awhile, you could free up 2.3m origi > campbell.....

      1. peco12
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I like the Campbell idea this way I can bring in Ali for Zaha.

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero syndrome
      That is the problem with having all that money tied up in the forwards it does not allow you to be mobile with the rest of your team
      Alli is out of reach i am afraid for you unless you are prepared for major surgery you might have to look elsewhere

  30. Kiwivillan

    A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic considering all the bars he frequents, to which the horse replies "I think not!" POOF! The horse disappears.

    This is the point in time when all the philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with the philosophical proposition of Cogito ergo sum, or I think, therefore, I am.

    But to explain the concept aforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      That was brilliant.
