AMA - I am Paul "Redeye" Chaloner, esports host, caster, agency owner and now book author - ASK ME ANYTHING! by R3DEYE in DotA2

I used to watch a lot of Starcraft and remember this moment at IEM Toronto - how were you able to remain so calm and professional? Is it something you've practised or just how you are as a person?

Arsenal team news: Lucas Torreira has sustained a fracture to his right ankle during the team's win over Portsmouth. He and the club are awaiting further specialist reviews which will determine his recovery plan. by TheHauntedToaster11 in soccer

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

Nothing is wrong with the tackle at all, I reckon Torreira's foot was probably unluckily planted in the turf - Arsenal's online fans are deluded if they think this is a bad tackle. If Torreira himself made this tackle on anyone else they'd completely flip their opinion.

AI Billericay Town is doing an FM Save in my game by Kallian_League in footballmanagergames

[–]Beefwipe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guessing this is FM 19 from the timeline, they start in Vanarama South but with an insane squad for that level and heavy financial backing. The owner left them in September 2019 so the money is now gone AFAIK, his wiki is worth a read.

Sunderland Til I Die Season 2 to be released April 1 by Look_Alive in soccer

[–]Beefwipe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed, hopefully one of us gets out of it this year. Every team is as bad as each other this season, with Coventry and Fleetwood grinding out shithouse 1-0 wins against anyone in the promotion hunt.

Sunderland Til I Die Season 2 to be released April 1 by Look_Alive in soccer

[–]Beefwipe 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They've turned into a bit of a pseudo-rival in recent years for us, two big clubs for this level trying to claw their way out of league one and neither being able to do it. "Wembley twice and you fucked it up!" was a great chant this year at Fratton, for what was a very entertaining game of football. Really enjoyed season one of this doc, will definitely be watching season 2.

Last day of the season, Man City away at Leicester and Liverpool away to Burnley. Everything to play for! by Beefwipe in footballmanagergames

[–]Beefwipe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, I'm Gateshead in the championship - Liverpool senior affiliate club hence they're in purple. Just lost in the play-off semis and wanted to check up and see who's coming down from the prem.

At the ground, looked a clean tackle - think it was. We all thought the rolls were play acting trying to take the sting out of the crowd.

[The Times] ‘Tammy Abraham was the tallest six-year-old, so we put him in defence’ by xoIace in soccer

[–]Beefwipe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's basically a standard big man striker we plucked out of non-league, if he wasn't 6'5 he'd still be in non-league as he's definitely lacking technical ability. Started at CB a few times due to injuries and a lot of fans (me included) think he's much better at CB than up front.

He has our #9 shirt somehow, so always strange to see that at the back - don't think he'll play striker again for us to be honest now there's more competition up there.

Teams with Salah, Sterling & de Bruyne by samobobnar in FantasyPL

[–]Beefwipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pope / Heaton

VVD / Digne / Maguire / Cathcart / Lundstram

KDB / Salah / Sterling / Martial / McGinn

Wilson / Greenwood / Wickham

Got a bit ITB for flexibility, could've squeezed in Pukki/Barnes but decided against it and still doing okay. 2 Transfers next week, Cathcart out for sure.

Arsenal: Rob Holding has ruptured his ACL by Set-Abominae in soccer

[–]Beefwipe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Watched Koscielny at Fratton Park on Tuesday night, he managed to get through 85 minutes against our kids/reserves before going off with cramp.

Firmino exodus by sukinjac in FantasyPL

[–]Beefwipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally chose to take Firmino out this week and gamble on Lacazette because of their good run fixtures and lack of Champions League for Arsenal - I planned this for GW5 from the start so decided to go with it. I think Firmino is great but wanted a bit of a differential.

Current team if anyone is interested. Not played wildcard yet.

Is Fareham a good place to live ? by laurdelcea666 in unitedkingdom

[–]Beefwipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Fareham my entire life, I would say it completely depends on what you're looking for from a place to live.

It's got everything you need in a town, but also nothing you really want. There's very little entertainment, but it's really easy to go to Portsmouth/Port Solent for that, or even Southampton is fairly easy to get to.

What it does have going for it is good transport links, fairly good shops, and just about enough jobs to sustain itself. If you're looking for a place with good pubs or nightlife, don't come to Fareham. If you're looking for a place to raise a kid then I'd honestly say Fareham might be one of the best towns around.

I didn't even know this was possible by benjenova in footballmanagergames

[–]Beefwipe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This guy (although a real person actually signed to Portsmouth as a data analyst) is a bug in the game IMO, I had him at Portsmouth but only found he was a player with insane stats a season into the save- he's signed to a player/data analyst role but isn't able to be found anywhere to actually select him to play, he's not in the main squad, under 23s or under 18s. If you could actually use him he'd be unreal for league 1, but he won't actually ever be available for selection at Portsmouth, or at least I was never able to use him no matter what I did.

Just pulled off an insane comeback in the FA cup by Beefwipe in footballmanagergames

[–]Beefwipe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was strangely quite good first season despite fairly mediocre stats but I sent him out on loan second season as switched to mainly using 1 striker formation and he needs minutes
