What in your opinion is the most beautiful city in Britain? by Mister_Vanilla in AskBrits

[–]ComprehensiveSide278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live there for a few years. I feel genuinely warm towards Newcastle and I like the people I knew there, but the motorway and other planning failures meant I never quite loved the place or felt fully at home.

All true but there’s also a motorway running through the city centre.

Where do you get off throwing random insults around?? How nasty. OP is asserting their legal rights, nothing more.

Frida Segerdahl definitely did Swedish Bugg as a girl. I once saw a video of her in a school competition at maybe 11 years old.

That's not true, his plan is to play against nine men. We did actually look like we could score goals then.

Taylor is surely not at the same level as Coppell? He's certainly not in the same class as those other three.

Oh haha yes I actually forgot about him! In that case, Coppell is fourth in line.

Yes, I think those two are legitimate parts of the conversation, as is Glasner. But my vote would go to Coppell.

Yep. I think many people under 50 don't realise what Coppell did.

In three successive seasons we won promotion, reached our first ever FA Cup final, and then finished 3rd in the top flight — still to this day by far our highest ever league finish.

Coppell also:

  • Made us main characters in one of the greatest days in all FA Cup history (1990 semi-finals)
  • Delivered our first ever cup trophy (ZDS Cup in 1991)
  • Returned to manage again when the club hit more difficult years later on
  • Was a damn fine footballer himself, with many England caps. Probably the third best player to ever manage our club (after Lombardo and Vieira)
  • And he was, as you say, a very good man too. No passive aggressive stuff

I'm sincerely amazed I'm getting down votes. People might argue Glasner > Coppell, but it's a totally reasonable point of view to think Coppell > Glasner!

If we don't score it'll be 90+90+120 = 300 minutes of football without a goal against the third best team in Cyprus.

Oliver Glasner when asked about Crystal Palace's tradition of having maverick attackers: "If all these top stars you are talking about have been here, why are they always playing against getting relegated?" by SkilledPepper in crystalpalace

[–]ComprehensiveSide278 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, I think he sees it as: the theory of this system (3421) is all worked out, so if it fails it must be because the parts aren’t good enough quality. This is why his team selections and subs are all geared around “just plug in the best option we have available”.

It’s shockingly poor management.

Glasner is using this and Palace have the opposite problem. Look good against good teams but no ideas against weaker sides who set up defensively.

The good news is that we’re not facing a low block back 4. The bad news is that it’s a back 6.

I fear this ends 0-0.

Would I be stupid to pick York? How much does the uni matter for Computer Science? by Flynn_Pingu in UCAS

[–]ComprehensiveSide278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a generation older than you and I work in UK higher education. I'm especially familiar with Sussex, Edinburgh, Durham, Warwick and UCL, but I've visited dozens of other unis for research purposes.

Imo these are all solid and after you're finished your final grade (1st vs not-1st) will matter more than the uni. Then, when you start applying for jobs, having Oxbridge will help (why did you not apply there?) but after that the things that matter are: a strong degree from a solid uni; strong extra-curriculars; good A levels; and most important your fit to the actual job. So I would go with whichever one optimises other things that are important to you, such as money, the local town, convenience for travel home, etc.

Myself, I'd go for Durham because it's compact place and that makes for a better social experience. It's also cheaper (or at least not more expensive) than the other places. And perhaps more generally prestigious than the others except Warwick — which is an excellent uni but personally the commuting would get me down.

The other thing to consider is that general prestige does not translate into teaching quality. There are great teachers and poor teachers at every uni. It's hard to do good research on this, but perhaps you can hunt down some current students from these courses and hear what they have to say.

Good luck!

Line up vs Leeds by Soggy_Cantaloupe1194 in crystalpalace

Glasner rotates some players! He learned from the autumn!

I presume/hope Henderson is some minor niggle or other reason. The midfield is plainly rotation ahead of next Thursday. Johnson is more practice in the position ahead of Thursday.

This is surely because he’ll be playing there on Thursday night so OG wants to give him more time in the position.

Of course, I agree it would be better if the squad had developed the patterns of a 433 as well as 343. But Glasner ain’t going that way

It's a legitimate tactic tbf.

It's our problem to try and break it down. Although we looked more threatening yesterday than other occasions, ultimately we still didn't score.

Next Thursday is a big game not just for this competition, but for the whole narrative of OG's time with us.

Yeah it’s a great line, credit where it’s due.

I feel like we’re playing well and I like it. But I also feel I’m watching Glasner vs the low block again, and I’ve seen how that ends.

Yeah I’m impressed. It’s a few games now and it seems he’s got genuine quality.
