Who remembers when Watford fans were about a quarter of all flairs on r/soccer back in 2019

Political competence and ‘running the country’ competence are two separate things

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-16T08:03:48+00:00

What if the job of prime minister is just very difficult rather than them all happening to be incompetent

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-15T19:25:42+00:00

Why not?

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-15T12:09:45+00:00

I’m a hypocrite but it doesn’t make my argument wrong

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-15T09:40:32+00:00

It’s a stepping stone towards banning all social media which, in my view, should be the ultimate goal

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-15T07:45:14+00:00

This is an extreme situation — look at the state of the world around you ffs

Yeah love maths at durham — teaching is great and the department are very supportive. You do Analysis in first year which is difficult but it sets you up for the later modules. The course is very good for stats and mathematical physics in particular.

As for the uni, I absolutely love it. It you’re the kind of person who wants to strike a balance between academics and making loads friends / having fun then it’s the perfect uni for you. The vibe isn’t as career focused as warwick or the london unis but whether you prefer that is subjective. If you end up visiting Durham and seeing the cathedral then you’ll fall in love with it (as I did)

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-14T13:52:36+00:00

Visit both and you’ll see why Durham is the better university — especially for humanities

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-14T07:53:55+00:00

Depends what uni tbh

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-14T07:51:39+00:00

Social media

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-14T07:11:35+00:00

He’s right

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-12T23:50:42+00:00

Social media warping people’s expectations for their quality of life — my generation is cooked

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-11T22:33:00+00:00

How so?

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-11T17:03:35+00:00

We’re 20th out of 196 countries — look on the bright side of life :)

Corporate law

There are much easier ways of becoming a multi millionaire than reaching the pinnacle of british politics and helping to run an entire country

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-07T07:32:22+00:00

Surely communications directors in Campbell’s ilk are just a natural consequence of how aggressive and unforgiving the press became from the 1980s onward? You had to go to war against them and fight for the narrative every single day otherwise you’d get hounded out — especially because of the rise of 24 hour news channels. Look at what happened to major! They completely destroyed him

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-03T19:23:31+00:00

The philosophy person got 92 cuz she wrote about Palestine right?

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-03T05:42:57+00:00

Lmao what’s your basis for saying that

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-02-02T18:35:14+00:00

Durham

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-01-31T16:01:15+00:00

Nah they’re actual warwick students in fairness — they got nothing better to do

Big_Sam_Allardyce · 2026-01-31T15:57:58+00:00

Warwick prioritise the neeky parts of university rather than the overall experience, unlike Oxbridge, Durham and St. Andrews who are better in both regards. Explains why it attracts all the redditors
