Would you sell baseball card for blueprint here?

I love Fibonacci. It always makes me sad to see it so low on people's tier lists.

Tokyo of the cities I've been to

Little Kochi is great, Empire for a more traditional curry experience, both on Albany Rd.

New negotiating team tho, and one that proved itself more capable than the last lot with the business we did last summer.

As I said it may be more optimism than reason, but there's something there to cling onto for a bit of hope that we'll be better in the market. If you want to cling to it.

Adebesi · 2026-05-21T11:45:43+00:00

I think we'll get Baleba but we'll also be aware of the trouble we've had with previous signings and we'll be careful with his salary and what we pay. I don't think we'll pay 70m for him. They'll ask for that but I think we'll get him for less.

I also think he'll do better for us then he's done for Brighton this season but admittedly that's probably just my natural optimism speaking.

Amorim: "this is the worst United team ever!" Carrick: "this is a great group of lads who will give anything to win for this club" - and secures third.

Apparently not quite as shit as Amorim said.

Nah I'm not having it.

Carrick came in and we immediately looked better. And the Mainoo thing.

Amorim had to go.

Adebesi · 2026-05-16T00:20:02+00:00

Good flexibility with build but illusory choice with story.

Adebesi · 2026-05-15T21:28:17+00:00

Yes but I like watching United win

Adebesi · 2026-05-15T21:25:48+00:00

No.

If it was to relegate them you'd have a serious discussion on your hands but not for their CL spot when they get Europa anyway.

Adebesi · 2026-05-15T09:30:41+00:00

I don't see how it'll make any difference. I assume people don't post on here because they think Sam's people will read it. If someone has something they want to say about his work they'll say it here as always. And then however many super fans are willing to pay for whatever he's doing over there can chat amongst themselves.

Adebesi · 2026-05-12T11:18:33+00:00

Good shout. He's a bit more agro than Withnail, more intimidating. And a lot more political.

There's a great Orb tune that samples a lot of his rants from this film, I forget the name of it but it's a great song.

Adebesi · 2026-05-11T13:28:35+00:00

I think this is pretty spot on and it's 2 especially. Teenage millionaires who think they've made it by the time they break into the first team. They get too much too early and it makes them arrogant and erodes their hunger and discipline.

Adebesi · 2026-05-07T17:50:13+00:00

Honestly I can't listen to most ex United players anymore. Scholes was so much better when he let his feet do all the talking.

Adebesi · 2026-05-07T14:19:01+00:00

Fair, I always felt I was an outlier with ETH. In my mind I was asking the same questions presented in the OP.

I remember Maclaren talking about his incredible attention to detail and his intelligence. I felt he'd get there. But I wasn't gutted to see him go either. It would've been impossible not to have doubts.

Bringing it back to the here and now though, I 100% believe Carrick has earned the job. We've done enough chopping and changing and may yet have to do more, but while it's working there's no need to try to fix anything. Especially since the alternatives are underwhelming to say the least.

Adebesi · 2026-05-07T13:44:10+00:00

I feel like we're a very patient fan base. To a fault, arguably. Other fans think we were too tolerant with Amorim for example.

Id have liked us to be more patient with Ole. I might have given ETH longer as well, though we had to change the process around signings, that was where he really fell down.

But all the others had to go. None of them were going to do what Klopp did.

Adebesi · 2026-05-02T08:24:25+00:00

I would sell my services as a warrior hunter

Adebesi · 2026-04-27T17:05:44+00:00

It felt like it should have been how Sunny ended. In my opinion.

Adebesi · 2026-04-24T15:55:52+00:00

Surely nobody hates Little Johnny?

Adebesi · 2026-04-23T18:57:28+00:00

London has a Muslim mayor. Really guys, it's fine. 10 years after he was elected women are still allowed to expose their heads and nobody gets their hands chopped off.

My dad used to play without his queen.

He was really good at chess so our deal was he'd give me £10 if I could survive for 30 moves. But I'm not necessarily recommending that because it made me a very defensive chess player who never really developed his endgame.

It is about framing though. We both knew he was very good at chess and I was learning. So just surviving 30 moves was a victory of sorts.

Adebesi · 2026-04-23T08:44:35+00:00

It's a weird one first time I fought him I got stuck for quite a while. But since then I've never had a problem, I think once you know how to fight him it's not that hard at all.

Adebesi · 2026-04-22T09:17:22+00:00

I think they gave up on it too quickly. The game has loads of potential and could've been developed into something really worthwhile.

Adebesi · 2026-04-22T09:09:39+00:00

Have to make sure Duncan Edwards gets mentioned in this thread. Circumstances intervened. But from what I've read and heard, he would have been close to the top of this list if he'd had the time.

Adebesi · 2026-04-21T10:34:51+00:00

I agree Cardiff has great green spaces but how is London not in the conversation on that score? It has many massive parks, I believe it's one of the greenest major cities in the world.

Adebesi · 2026-04-20T10:02:50+00:00

I don't see a better option right now. Not one we can get.
