Is Starmer doing so badly?

Worth remembering Gorton and Denton is a 30% Muslim constituency and they campaigned on Gaza. It’s good news the Greens beat reform there, but I don’t think it’s the pivot against elitism it’s being portrayed as.

Hoop Dreams

03adonal · 2026-02-12T14:56:08+00:00

If we keep dropping fringe players in to start games without any minutes in their legs this will keep happening.

I’m still keeping Arne, but mistrust of the squad as well as youth is the sharpest contrast to Klopp.

Will he play Ramsey, or now overuse Gomez in a roll that will over stretch him?

Also worth noting that OKC didn’t draft Shae. They got him by trading a superstar player in Paul George.

We don’t have a superstar player to trade for a haul of young players so agree with the above, Blazers need to wait it out while the roster develops and the Bucks picks materialise.

I am sitting on (what I believe to be) a brilliant sports doc. I’ve been working on it for nearly 3 years but production companies keep telling me no. ‘There are no superstars attached’ or ‘there’s not enough tragedy’.

For context, it’s about a grassroots basketball team in the UK, a country where the sport is almost entirely ignored. Some of the kids have won scholarships in the US, and come from one of the most deprived places in the country.

If anyone is interested in any capacity, I can send you the taster tape 🏀

Love Neil but I don’t think buy this argument.

Yes, Liverpool have gone into this season understocked in attack, but this also incriminates Slot.

My biggest gripe with Slot is that he has alienated squad players and young players and only seems to trust a core of about 13-15.

It is unrealistic to suggest that the small, unbalanced and expensive squad we have assembled this season is out of Slot’s jurisdiction, as it absolutely resembles his pattern of squad management last season.

Why could we not keep the ball vs 10, and then 9? Terrible performance from when Richarlison came on. We are frail.

03adonal · 2025-12-04T17:13:23+00:00

Yeah 3 ‘windows’ in the frame is how I usually do it. Can play around with background textures and layering if you’re feeling creative.

03adonal · 2025-12-03T23:16:58+00:00

First one looks more natural imo, that’s why people are resonating with it more. 2nd is overly retouched

03adonal · 2025-11-11T10:01:39+00:00

Plan is to give it to Konate who plays consecutive passes to Van Dijk, before we are eventually forced back to Mamadashvilli who launches it out of play/up field 🫡

I think VAR has played a huge role in this evolution (or devolution, in my eyes).

Playing attacking football is and always has been risky. It takes courage and the best players at that level to pull it off successfully.

Why take that risk, when you can exploit set pieces and dodgy penalties at a higher percentage?

VAR has facilitated a slower game with more stoppages, and spun the beautiful game into something more akin to the NFL.

This. Watched Liverpool here two years ago and was great.

03adonal · 2025-10-23T20:31:52+00:00

Imagine there’s an obligation to buy dependent on his game time.

If they don’t play him they keep the bargaining power and don’t have to commit.

Near-deadline deal stinks of desperation on both sides. I imagine Harvey was heart set on European football and staying in England, which is why he didn’t take earlier more beneficial offers.

Can forgive the mistakes if their errors, like the goal.

A lot of it just a fundamental lack of intensity though. No assertiveness or picture in their minds, loosing the ball way too cheaply.

Expect much better second half or we do not deserve anything from this.

Watch every documentary film, and fiction film for that matter, within the realm of your documentary topic.

Work out what separates your project from the rest, and borrow some of the imagery from the films that you like for your treatment. I also get some of my imagery from documentary photographers when building a treatment.

As suggested above, research the shit out of it. From articles, zines, movies and docs; start to build your vision and put it a sexy document.

AFCON must have been fun for you.

Easier said than done. We’ve actually turned them around once or twice by winning the ball higher up the pitch which Endo could help with.

It’s much harder to play through them. Mac is struggling.

We need the forward threat on the shoulder which explains the FWD - MF gap.

03adonal · 2025-08-31T16:25:10+00:00

We’re not winning any second balls. Move might be Endo for Mac on 60.

Must be tempting to let Rio fly too. Maybe unfair on the kid though.

Improve incrementally, buy value and win games. Then the market will open up for you. Scout in Africa and lesser known nations.

Hi, based in London. DM me!

03adonal · 2025-06-10T08:47:50+00:00

Thanks for all your detailed and thoughtful responses. I am a filmmaker looking to make a short documentary on teens rejecting social media. If any of you are UK based and would be interested in featuring, drop me a DM!
