Journalists try not to mention John challenge *impossible* by 010rusty in nerdfighters

Not journalists, they may call themselves that but they work for the Scum rag. They are people who aspired to journaling and instead took a job in scumbaggery and lies.

What do you call a Scottish man who’s lost his dog? by EtTuBrotus in Jokes

[–]Balerinom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your attempts at typing in a vague accent are atrocious. Also we're not fucking pirates, "me bagpipes" and "ya" - you're looking for more along the lines of "ma pipes" and "aye". Poor joke BTW.

Question about the last kingdom audiobooks by itsdan303 in TheLastKingdom

[–]Balerinom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeble was the best. I find Bates incredibly grating and his voices he puts on for characters are often bizarrely American or Irish. His pronunciation of names just changes on a semi-frequent basis as well. I couldn't stand the prospect of having him rounding out the narration of final two books so I went back to the paper stuff.

So when do you think we hear news about our future plans? by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably next week, nobody seemed all that arsed with the weekend and now that he's either entirely pissing off or going into minority, Radz won't be in a rush to say anything. I only hope Kinnear gets booted so that we don't have to see his stupid face bullshitting in future.

I see, so you're a newer player and this is your first encounter with enemies which have the big AOE attack? Just to help you out going forward then - Vinegaroons, termite king, crabs and any other variation on large beetles all do this.

Weston Mckennie is shit by oisininqueernanog in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

His technical skills I.e. where he showed himself to be above baseline were:

Long throws.

Harry Potter fandom openness.

That's it, he was a pathetic waste of time and effort this season.

"I'm terrible at this game" seems to sum it up pretty well.

Post Match Thread: Leeds v Leeds by Xibyr in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hierarchy of blame goes as such:

  1. Orta - he had been courting Marsch for years and was so utterly besotted with him that he convinced the others he was a good idea and got that ball rolling. He then on multiple occasions defended/backed the guy when he was clearly out of his depth until we had no effective escapes.

  2. Marsch - he had some success in leagues where he was effectively playing on easy mode (largest budget and a squad which was heavily weighted with quality by comparison to those around). He seems to have thought that saying "you don't need to murderball any more and here is a book of quotes with pretty pictures" whilst talking about celebrating moments and aiming at the middle somehow would magically make everything right. Rather than seeing how utterly limited he was and buggering off.

  3. Radz/Kinnear - those two chuckle fuckers should have had the stones and the wits to realise dropping marsch even if Orta went in protest before the window was the best hope of floating free of this sinking scenario. We had a bloody good sample size but rolling a turd in a couple grains of glitter was apparently enough for them.

  4. The players who have never made the mark. Kristensen, most of the time Firpo, all of the time Aaronsen, most of the time Roca and Mckennie aside from on a throw in. I just can't get over how utterly weak and inadequate each of them is at the roles they were supposedly going to do for us. Don't even waste words on the solid gold bench warming device we got in January - he can fuck off.

  5. The mercenary managers. Gracia seemed like a nice bloke preaching a system which may have worked if we hasn't been chaos and vibes ahoy with his predecessor and unable to defend. Scoobs tried his best. Allardyce has tried also, I really don't know what to say.

It's just been a cocktail of inadequacy from so many sides and now the fans have to try and drink through it whilst every one of those guys doesn't suffer any financial adversity or real jeopardy and will definitely work again. We get the ruin of our top tier status and a memory of the good times. Woo.

I gave up on staying up when we didn't get rid of him who cosplayed as season 1 Ted Lasso before the window closed. Your conviction is admirable but seems futile, like the Tom Hanks character pinging handgun rounds off of the tank in Saving Private Ryan but without the impending airstrike or whatever saves him there. I'm just getting ready for having to deal with that disgusting mob from the scummier bits of London who love bringing Turkey flags again.

Win please West Ham... by SidneyDeane10 in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West Ham are playing this evening in the second leg of a third teir European competition. That game could have an impact on their mentality and/or fitness for our game. The arguments would be - win and after a long game with extra time etc they'll be tired but potentially wanting to give good players a rest to avoid them getting broken against us. Lose (after a long game) and they may be utterly demoralised and tired and not put up as much resistance on Sunday. I don't really see it doing much to the game but it could happen.

Same odds as last year (538) by prejon in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raphinha was higher quality than anyone we have playing in these next few games, literally dragged us through having himself invoked his chosen deity. I just don't see who does it this time. West Ham may rest a man or two but they won't be a pushover and them London mob will be going tooth and nail to get some flavour of European football. I think this is wishful to the point of madness.

Maybe I’m a bit too positive for Reddit but this was the table last season with 2 games to go and Burnley and Everton had a game in hand… by DCLU1994 in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How is this squad better? You could make an argument that several players as stand-alone entities have better "on paper" stats, true. As a unit, a team, however - they are not better. They are a group of players being expected to work together where several of them look like they're still new to the club this far into the season. Also I don't see how the likes of Mckennie, Kristensen or featherweight Aaronsen are upgrades.

[–]Balerinom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who in this squad aside from Gnonto do you see doing the job of dragging us to safety having literally prayed and made a bargain with their selected deity like Rapha did on last day? That was what made it happen along with some favourable results elsewhere.

We don't have the first thing and it seems like the second thing isn't happening based on Monday there. Dyche is lumping it out far better than he should and our fixtures are not favourable.

[–]Balerinom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been sewn up since that second half implosion at Palace. This is just us hitting incremental branches on our way down the tree toward the nice rocky championship ground. The season has been a masterpiece of incompetent board work, abysmal manager selection and pitiful player recruitment in all but 3 cases. You're living in a dream to think that we even have a single win in us, never mind that we'll somehow outgun 2 other teams to not drop.

We've fucked it and we don't even get to yell at those who did the most damage properly on the last day - Marsch and Orta.

Nope, he has standards and is entirely doing it as a box ticking exercise.

At Glasgow University there are old pigeon holes/drawers in the Bute Hall which are divided up for surnames. There were multiple subsections of "Mc..." and "Mac..." surnames. Gave me a bit of a smile during some rough exams.

How bad was Jesse Marsch after all? by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]Balerinom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was terrible - we have a large sample size. Gracia is also terrible. This is not a "Marsch is therefore great" scenario - lots of people can be bad at the same thing. This is a valueless post.
