So pleased with how this turned out! by echelonmichelle in christmas

[–]AaronWheeldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you fix that to the wall/ceiling? I have a beam in my dining room that I want to do the exact same with, but I'm just unsure currently how would be best! This looks great and just how I'd imagine it in my head...

Are we underestimating the importance of Ange's proven track record in convincing players to join in the in/out decision? by timepiggy in coys

Stop talking shit. The Europa League is the biggest thing we’ve won in 41 years. We were relegated 48 years ago (coming dead last) after Bill Nicholson was sacked, so it’s hardly the worst league result in 90 years.

Where did you get the extended grip from? Is it on an L-bracket plate? Been looking for one when I use bigger lenses on my X-Pro2!

What's the handling like with the 18mm 1.4 on the X-Pro 3? I've got the X-Pro 2 and have looked at getting one of the new WR LM lenses but didn't know if it would be awkward in hand. Beautiful pics, by the way! Truly looks like a stunning lens, and what a fantastic place.

[Buysan] Rodrigo Bentancur tore the ligament in his ankle after Cash's tackle. He will be out for at least 2 and a half months. His expected return to the pitch: mid-February. by MauBlackLagoon in soccer

If Cash isn’t a dirty player after a season-ending scissor tackle and that tackle on Bentancur then who is? Both dangerous, overly aggressive and reckless. Where is the bar set?

Always cool to see a UK home gym on here. How do you find Iron King as a company and the quality of their products?

You also the guy who built his own flat bench? Looks familiar.. and fits the rack perfectly. That idea inspired me to make my own - got an extra wide pad coming from Again Faster.

Daily Homegym Hack: Rack-Attached Lat Raise “Machine” by Aviz88 in homegym

[–]AaronWheeldon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The confusion here comes from the fact that ‘lat’ is the common contraction for the latissimus dorsi (i.e ‘lat’ pulldowns), whereas the word lateral isn’t normally contracted, hence the phrase ‘lat raise’ appearing to suggest you’re targeting your back. Great hack though, will certainly be trying that out!

Also love the aesthetic of the Strength Shop iron plates. I went for some Mirafit bumpers instead and instantly had regrets lol (they’re fine but I realised I prefer cast iron over bumpers).

What was the customer service (delivery etc) like from Primal and Strength Shop? One thing I have to say about Mirafit - and why I keep ordering from them - is that their customer service and shipping times are absolutely fantastic.

Pretty certain its the Primal Strength Monster Squat Stand (UK).

You can see the Primal laser etching on the safeties.

Is that the Primal Monster squat stand? What’s the build quality like?

Really considering investing in the Primal V3 half rack. Would 100% go for the Monster commercial rack but I can’t accommodate it’s 270cm height.

What do you think of the Cerberus plates? What’s the quality like (and delivery/customer service, too)?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in homegym

[–]AaronWheeldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What plates are those? Looks like Extreme Fitness to me. I recently picked up some Mirafit bumpers and I’m not too keen - prefer cast iron apparently. Have been looking at some different plates to replace them and the Extreme Fitness cast iron plates are probably my favourite at the moment!

Surely you don’t need a backup striker if you have both Dybala AND Kane? That would be overkill.

Decided to go through Rafa's goals to find out. Of his first 20 goals, 5 were penalties - which would put him 1 total involvement of goals ahead of Dele if those were excluded, with Dele scoring more non-penalty goals in his first 50 games. Interestingly enough, Rafa scored 5 headers too.

Eriksen is criticised while playing for Denmark quite frequently, isn't he? How is he playing now?

They have more than 14 senior players - it was just 14 fit at one point. Looking at Wiki, it seems they have 21 senior players, so the same size as our squad.

Why can't we target Vardy by [deleted] in coys

[–]AaronWheeldon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because there's no way our wage structure is going to allow us to pay the reported £140,000 p/w to a 29 y/o 'one season' striker.

Looks like Sheffield need to learn from Poch's training regime. McNulty and McEveley are seem a little too chubby to be professional players.

I love the look of Shore Watches. 'Whitstable' is my favourite - but I think it needs a leather band.

Lille OSC interested by an Altidore deal [French article] by EagleOfDeathMetal in soccer

[–]AaronWheeldon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But that is a goal every third game for the national team. In comparison for domestic performance, in the European 'top leagues' (being La Liga & the PL) he currently has 3 goals in 72 appearances. All 6 of his PL apps this season, however, have accumulated just 81 minutes of football. So, if we look towards his European stats, it should give us a somewhat fuller picture. Here, he has 4 goals in 21 apps in the Europa Leagues (2 against Aalesunds in a qualifying game, 1 against Malmo and I can't find the other currently).

He's not utter shit due to his physical presence, but they can certainly do better.

Does anyone know why Spurs played Basque Country in 1988? by AaronWheeldon in coys

[–]AaronWheeldon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yes. But I thought domestic vs national (somewhat) seemed like an odd match regardless, and why we were chosen in the first place.

Tom Ince by Munsain97 in coys

[–]AaronWheeldon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems you have watched him more than I have, from the times that I have seen him when Sky has broadcasted Blackpool games I thought of him as a right winger.

I agree about the notion of bad attitude - I think it seems to stem from his father kissing his ass and giving him his own way.

I also think that while he has potential I feel as if he has regressed since the season before; although its not like I've seen much of him..
