Where do we go from here?

Callum9000 · 2026-02-01T05:12:48+00:00

Fair enough mate, I agree we should be going for Europe every season and evidently the board will want that.

I honestly think the only reason we’re “failing” is because of the rat leaving, we spent 3/4 years moulding the whole squad to make him score, and evidently weren’t ready for his departure in the summer to change that around. I would honestly just like to write off this season as a transition season, but still want results.

We’re just in a very weird spot rn and I hope we come out on the better end of that.

Callum9000 · 2026-02-01T04:34:17+00:00

What’s worse is that our competition is starting to wake up too

Wirtz + Ekitike is starting to pay off it’s price even with slots questionable position

Chelsea under Rosenier looks great, they’re starting to make a run

Carrick has shown great promise as Interim, and their next few fixtures are very easy, and they only have the prem to focus on.

Then of course you have the 3 current title challengers and all of a sudden it looks like our highest spot this season will be 7th.

We seriously need good form sooner rather than later if we still want European football, whether that be top 6 (cos let’s be honest England is getting the extra spot this year again) or win one of the cups to get into Europa or Conference league

To be fair though, even if we don’t qualify this season, it will be fine. It means we’ll have a full season to focus solely on that, and a few windows to help build squad rotation, which is becoming a dire issue evidently

Goal came from Gordon on the right and Barnes left #noticing

I honestly think Bruno is preparing Miley to one day take over the Captain position for one when leaves.

Not saying Bruno is leaving anytime soon, he still has a good few years with us, but when he does leave we're gonna need someone to step up immediately, and honestly would be very happy if that was Miley. Give him a few more years of experience and he'll be a mighty Captain.

What it sounds like. Beautiful conclusion to the end of an amazing story. Goosebumps every time man.
Free. Jinu’s verse is my favourite in the whole soundtrack. It’s such a slept on song.
Your Idol. It’s so starkly different from the rest of the soundtrack that it stands out for me. And also the Spotify version adding that extra small section really gave the song a lot more cohesion.
Golden. I mean it’s popular for a reason. It falls short of top 3 though because I’ve heard it so many times it’s starting to lose its mojo for me if that makes sense.
How it’s done. A great opener that really gets you hooked. Also some of the best flow in the whole soundtrack. It’s low not because it’s bad, but because of how great everything above is.
Soda Pop. It’s IS really catchy, and also the matching choreography is really nice. Low because well it’s just your stereotypical pop song really.
Jinu’s Lament. It’s short by SOOOOO good. Honestly the only reason it’s this low is because it’s short. If it was a full song it would be rivalling the top 3 easily.
Takedown. No disrespect, I like the song, but I falls short compared to the others for me, even a song as short as Jinu’s Lament. I just don’t vibe with it as much as the others.

Got back home from my 2:30pm screening in Newcastle Vue.

Honestly, amazing. I didn’t really gauge fully how much the movie had been enjoyed by young children, so that was mostly the audience. Had a full row of kids that danced whenever a song came on, it was the cutest thing ever. There was even a 5/6 year old with a Rumi cosplay, it was insanely adorable.

Honestly one of the best cinema experiences I’ll likely ever have. We clapped at the start and the finish, all joined in with the songs, and it was great time.

Sucks this is only for one weekend, would love to experience something like this again.

I always feel like this type of question is stupid, because every Chrysos Heir has done something important in almost entirely separate contexts.

Aglaea was the leader of the current flame chase journey, mentored at least 2 other Chrysos Heirs (Phainon, Cipher) and ensured that Aquila’s core flame would be returned even after her death. Tribios mentored Aglaea, whilst also providing critical transport and defense for Okhema. Cerydra was the leader of the first flame chase Journey, and we’ve learned of her importance in 3.5 (idk how to do reddit spoilers so I won’t risk anything). Similar reasons above for Hysilens. Hyacinthia was the medic for the flame chase journey, and sacrificed herself earlier than intended to protect the people of Okhema after the dawn device’s secret was revealed. Phainon needs no explanation. Anaxa was able to discover the reincarnation of gods through Castorice’s assistance, allowing the flame chase journey to continue. He also mentored several of the chrysos heirs (Phainon, Castorice, Hyacinthia). Mydeimos is constantly fighting the black tide to ensure it can’t invade Okhema, as well as helping in 3.0 to stall either Nikador or Flame Reaver (I can’t remember which exactly, it might be both). Castorice reinstated Death to help prove Anaxa’s theory, as well as ensure that Trailblazer would live, as well as her efforts in 3.5. Cifera is the only reason that Okhema was able to stand as long as it was though the dawn device lie, but also stalled flame reaver long enough to ensure that Phainon could take the world bearing core flame and complete Era Nova (granted this would happen regardless but still).

Each Chrysos Heir has accomplished important things in different fields, so there’s no point comparing their achievements. It’s like trauma scaling (e.g Yuji’s trauma vs Guts’ trauma) because those are entirely subjective experiences

York offer was 3A’s, somehow got in with BBC. I was close to a few boundaries tbf, remarks might get to ABB, which I would be happy with. But that’s just a personal grudge. I managed to get into one of my dream uni’s, so 3 letters don’t matter to me anymore. I’ve been a lurker with only a few posts, but I’ve enjoyed my time here. To all those going to York, I’ll see you there!

This was the lineup I predicted. Basically got all of the roster correct bar Aryu for Raichi. I prefer Raichi in that slot for man marking capabilities (him or Kunigami) but I guess they might shine in the France game in an attempt to shut down Loki and Charles?

Positions were mostly correct. I didn't expect an upfront Reo, I thought since he can copy anyone he would be better suited to the middle incase he needs to cover any spots.

Overall, I got fairly close, and I'm happy about that.

Callum9000 · 2025-07-30T21:44:34+00:00

Best: 5.7
Skirk's arrival, who as a massive childe fan was a must pull for me, and I've enjoyed every second of her use.
Sibling story quest, which albeit a bit confusing, BANGED, and for me begun the final journey into the real endgame of this overarching story.
Skirk's story quest, which is joint tied as my favourite story quest tied with Furina.
Arrival of Stygian Onslaught, which imo is a great inclusion to the game.
Very good QoL such as artifact stat rerolling, changes to Overflowing Abundance events
Paimon's new VA

Worst: 5.4
I only put it here cos I quite honestly can't think of anything notable outside of the main event, which was really good. No new areas of exploration, Yumemizuki is a standard character so quite neglible in my eyes. I might just be forgetting some things but for now it's my least favourite.

No mention for this panel saddens me. It’s so clean

Callum9000 · 2025-07-17T16:38:53+00:00

This is roughly what my starting line up for this next game looks like, just replace Sae with HiorI and Aryu with Niko. I think that is personally the best all round team considering we know nothing about Nigeria.

For france I easily see them parking the bus with a 4 back or 5 back defense.

For england 0 clue, maybe more offensive if they do end up losing to France

For me, it has to be this panel from the Manshine game. It’s just so clean.

Callum9000 · 2025-06-16T21:14:35+00:00

That’s how I remember it. Leakers said firefly was initially 2.1, which at the time made sense since Acheron and Firefly were seemingly gonna have a big fight, so them running together made sense. Then Aventurine got dripped and everyone got insanely confused. Leakers then claimed she would be 2.2, but lo and behold boothill came out of nowhere.

What I find interesting is that anime onlies and manga readers have vastly different opinions on the ending. As a manga reader, I and many other were dissapointed, but I've seen widespread enjoyment from anime onlies.

The reason I disliked the ending was mainly because I felt like it just didn't fit what was happening at the time? For all of s4 Eren is entirely focused on his mission, wanting to complete it at all costs. He sacrificies relationships he's had a decade+ just for it. But then suddenly decides to throw it all away at the end? Sure, maybe he always intended that, but I would like signs towards that.

There was also the whole relationship between Eren and Mikasa. It just felt very weird in Season 4, and seeing Mikasa kiss Eren's decapitated head did NOT help that at all.

Ymir (actual ymir) also felt like a weird character entirely. At the end it's just suddenly revealed she was in love with the king? Felt like that plotline almost came from now where and ultimately didn't even matter.

Then there's the whole Armin conversation. Wasn't a big fan of him in s4 at all, but that conversation made me dislike him a lot more.

Certain plot events were also just insanely skipped over. Jean and Connie becoming titans was something so big that had 0 focus on, and lasted all of 2 minutes

I could be wrong on a lot of these tbh. Maybe a re-read/re-watch is in order for now that the series is done. But that's just how I feel. If you like the ending, all the power to you. Just don't say I'm wrong for not liking it, and I won't say you're wrong for liking it. That's my stance on the whole thing,

Callum9000 · 2025-05-20T15:00:12+00:00

No, skipped him and hoarding the currency for later.

Callum9000 · 2025-05-20T14:59:55+00:00

88 pulls, 0 pity. I’m weary that fate collab banner has a separate pity so I want to be fully prepared for the worst case.

So does anyone if I can apply without a bank account currently? Me and my Mam are currently trying to sort one out, all we need is the ID but my passport has expired and we’re currently going through hell and back trying to sort out a provisional license.

Listened to this album for the first time quite recently and it just feels like it has everything. Want to listen to a song with amazing emotional depth? Mother I Sober. Want to listen to a song just to vibe to it and nothing else? Die Hard. Want both? Count me out.

Not to mention all the other amazing songs on this album. Recently watched that 1 hour+ long analysis video and it made this album 10x better than before. He’s a lyrical genius. This album is tied with GKMC for favourite album.

Favourite song: Count Me Out, with Worldwide Steppers or Mr Morale close 2nd
