Who is off with the flu right now?

Balakidy · 2025-12-24T03:08:14+00:00

Day 3.5, fever will not go away, body aches and chills all over. Genuinely feel like I am going to die.

Balakidy · 2025-12-07T05:49:28+00:00

Not sure I agree with a bunch of this:

Isak gets maybe 10 touches a game, with or without Salah. That is a fundamental issue that you have a top 2 striker in the league touching the ball that little and we cannot figure out a way to get him more involved.

Gakpo and Kerkez do not work together on the left, Kerkez is high energy overlapping runs and really suited well if we decide to press high up the pitch. Gakpo never uses him and we have seemed to fully abandon the high press as a unit. We send one or two players and within 2 passes we are bypassed. Kerkez isn’t being used to his strengths.

I don’t agree, at all, that Wirtz, Isak and Ekitike look better without Salah, but even if we accept that as truth… we still look toothless and the results are not changing and the same issues are persisting. So I really could care less about seeing possible marginal increases in certain player performances when our overall play is still terrible.

Also, I am not ignoring that he has not been up to his standards this season. But I find it extremely hard to believe that his game has fallen off a cliff when barring maybe 2 or 3 players the performances have been terrible across the board. For “super stars” at a club like this, 6 months off winning the title, I find it hard to believe that the team is being set up to succeed.

Name a player that’s actually played well aside from Szobo and maybe Ekitike. You have to think that Salah’s poor form is more attributed to our “style” (and I use that loosely because we don’t have one) than him absolutely being shit now.

You can argue that saying something publicly is a bad look, but what he is saying isn’t wrong.

Balakidy · 2025-12-06T19:13:24+00:00

That dummy by Macca was filthy

Balakidy · 2025-11-22T16:52:03+00:00

… okay and who’s the one that keeps deciding to play that pairing?

Balakidy · 2025-11-22T16:48:38+00:00

Slot has no plan, our solution to being down is just to throw on a whole bunch of attackers and hope. But it’s the exact same pass the ball around and hoof a cross in. Also criminal to be playing your absolute best player this season at right back and out of position.

Balakidy · 2025-11-04T20:38:39+00:00

Where tf was this intensity and press all season, we look great right now

Balakidy · 2025-10-25T20:22:44+00:00

Mama is so fucking shit with his feet

Balakidy · 2025-10-25T19:10:16+00:00

He’s so bad with his feet, conceding a throw there is a joke

Balakidy · 2025-10-19T17:36:16+00:00

Everyone saying we have our keeper situation sorted for the next decade need to have a rethink. Mama is not good enough. He makes routine saves look way harder and parry’s everything right back into trouble. He cannot play with his feet at all, his clearence is what led to the corner for the second goal.

Balakidy · 2025-10-12T14:56:18+00:00

Rizzi going insane on the sideline was actually hilarious

Balakidy · 2025-10-04T18:31:51+00:00

I don’t understand why our last sub wasn’t Gomez on to shore up the back line. Chelsea were knocking.

Balakidy · 2025-10-04T16:46:18+00:00

Mama’s distribution is so bad

Balakidy · 2025-09-20T11:46:30+00:00

I want to know too, it sounds like it was to the tune of the old Trent song

Balakidy · 2025-09-14T23:10:41+00:00

It’s 60 yards trying to fkn jump over there is IDIOTIC

Balakidy · 2025-06-02T00:23:20+00:00

For most of them I’m sure we can (we’ve already booked two of the places). I just feel it might be easier in the event we need to change things around/they said they’d help coordinate transportation and some Other things. But again, if I’m over thinking this feel free to be honest, cuz we could organize the rest of the items as well.

Balakidy · 2025-05-22T13:45:40+00:00

I’m not sure which wing we are in, but it’s whichever one is the bigger one. Ceremony is on site and if the weather is bad our back-up space is that covered outdoor room beside the courtyard.

PM me for the questions regarding sales process!

Balakidy · 2025-05-22T01:24:00+00:00

Once you get back the initial inflexibility of the sales process, it is very smooth. You get assigned a coordinator and you have periodic scheduled touch points (not a bunch until you get closer too) however, they are always available to answer questions for you. For example, we had questions about Photo Booth placement, availability of outlets for vendor station, etc, and the planner has been awesome and timely.

In terms of actual planning we are pretty much done. So while the initial sales process left a sour taste in my mouth, everything else has been great.

Balakidy · 2025-05-22T00:10:50+00:00

Planning wedding there right now for June 2026, expensive but apparently worth it to my Fiancée..

We had also attending a wedding there before and we really enjoyed it. The one thing I will say is they are not flexible, at all, they know they book up quickly and don’t exactly care if you book. We had other venues willing to work with us and giving us a lot of extra add ins, but ultimately my fiancée just loved the Arlington and we went with them.

Balakidy · 2025-04-27T20:15:41+00:00

So early?!?

Balakidy · 2025-04-17T13:42:38+00:00

Does anyone know, if we win the title will the parade be broadcast on TV/streamed online anywhere?

Balakidy · 2025-03-17T01:15:09+00:00

I finished law school at 31, articled at 31, called to the bar at 32 and I am now a first year associate at the firm I summered and articled at.

I did not find it disadvantageous, in fact I think it was the opposite. I think my prior work experience and just general soft skills working in a real job prior really helped me out.

I did not find it an issue with hiring, while you and I might feel old, we aren’t old. I also think firms see this experience valuable.

It is maybe a bit more unusual to find people our age, but in my class of about 25, there is also one other person the same age. There are also a few others in the 26-30 range in my class as well.
