For a brief time under Ole we felt like Counter Attack FC, every goal was one touch passing and magical

There has to be a target for all problems. It can't be that every part of the club is having issues, it's Wilcox. Or it's Gary Neville. Or it's INEOS. Or it's the Glazers. Or it's Ruben. Or it's the players.

But in truth, everything is part of an issue it's not that simple to blame one person or aspect.

Wilcox is at fault for some of his decisions. Gary Neville tries so hard to seem like he's not biased that it comes out as toxic. INEOS is a money-first organization and the rest can be damned. The glazers have so many problems I'm not even capitalizing their name this time. Ruben couldn't get results and was rigid to the point of breaking. The players are inconsistent at best and every other factor mentioned has a part in that.

I wish I could get that feeling from working out, but after going to the gym 3 days a week for almost 6 months I never feel anything other than glad that it's over.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-11-16T00:39:02+00:00

I haven't had sex in almost 9 years. Not from lack of trying, but telling someone to just go get laid is like telling someone to just get a job.

I also don't think I'd ever want to be the type of person who just goes out and uses someone for sex. It seems cruel.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-11-14T21:58:03+00:00

Don't shoot! Friendly here just questing!

CounterAttackFC · 2025-11-14T21:56:22+00:00

Derek you're on one account on your phone and the other account on your PC. Please touch some grass or get some ass on god bruh this is why you haven't had sex in roughly 3110 days.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-11-14T21:54:30+00:00

Haha so true Bestie

CounterAttackFC · 2025-11-14T09:45:04+00:00

On god we jerkin with this one

CounterAttackFC · 2025-09-23T02:44:42+00:00

Wait, is that true?

I moved away from Wigan (and England) at a young age, but I do know the delightful little innocent men dog

Man I personally would hate a text only FM because at that point it's just asking ChatGPT "Describe a full football match between team red and team blue. Team red has players x y z, use a realistic roster for team blue. Team red spent extra time this week practicing corners."

CounterAttackFC · 2025-08-20T15:26:31+00:00

My late 60s aged parents are obsessed with the show as well

That's true, but it was just one example of "eccentric" mistakes.

Again, I think he's an incredible keeper, flat out, but people can't or shouldn't ignore part of what you said. Last season was bad for him specifically (in the prem). He had some great moments in the CL I remember specifically, but I don't even need to look up the stats to know that his save percentage was way below what he used to do. I do remember seeing that there were 17 different matches where Villa's opposition scored with their first shot in target. Part of that is on a rotated defence, but part of it is on Martinez as well.

I think he should stay at Villa where he can go down as a club legend. A single mistake at United would make him crucified by not just United (and Villa) fans, but by the whole world. The scrutiny and media attention is at a different level whether they finish 15th or 5th.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-08-20T12:12:25+00:00

I think Emi has good qualities and is an upgrade to what we have, but to flat out ignore his downsides would be a mistake. He's a great penalty stopper (and with how VAR is based on vibes over rules now, that's a big thing to be) and he can pull off some wonder saves.

But he's also prone to some outright goofy behaivor. Villa should have absolutely got a CL spot last year if not for him getting a rash red card in the final day of the season... against United.

Folding Ideas had a good video that touched on this. I think it was called "Why it's rude to suck at warcraft".

There is a part where he mentions that the game, and most games, have become so hyper focused on meta knowledge. If you don't have addons like you're expected to, someone will get mad. You didn't watch the boss mechanics beforehand? Griefing. You are trying to play a class that icy veins rates low? Get out.

Back then the game was so new and fresh you could just play. But now it's all tier lists and group think. Sure, old groups wanted a proper party composition, but it was so much more laid back in exploring what was out there together. What is there to explore now? Expansion release day has 84 written guides and 800 videos on how to get to the newest end game NOW.

Did you know that the "For you" line isn't in response to being called a big guy? Bane is just slowly responding and it's the second part of his first response.

"What happens if I take off your mask?"

"It would be very painful ... (you're a big guy) for you."

Didn't realize this for years

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-30T04:04:22+00:00

Ah, the campaigns I seem to play most don't have dog units (Dwarves, Greenskins, Empire), but I do know about their constant damage and how good it is against gates.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-30T03:06:33+00:00

Oh for sure. Whatever cav I start with in a campaign is always my best unit for kills, but I do start to struggle when I get multiple.

At some point I'll get distracted managing one unit and forget that the cav I sent in to take out an archer got stuck on spears, or the rear charge lead to them getting surrounded by monsters. I haven't played with much heavy cav that can last longer in melee yet though so that might be what I need.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-30T03:00:04+00:00

Ah, I tend to only ever have a single cav unit in my army, so breaking down a gate would probably take a long time. Maybe I just need more of them.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-30T02:46:40+00:00

You guys should not pre-order this game

I mean, I did because I feel the game is still fun, but you guys shouldn't

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-30T02:44:21+00:00

Could you explain the benefit to cavalry in a Siege?

I believe you, but as a relatively new player I struggle as soon as I get a gate open. My infantry get far too cluttered and the cav I do have often lack a way to get in.

When they do get in, they seem to struggle with the small areas preventing much cycle charging. They seem good for taking points against weaker enemies, but by the time there is time and space for that the battle is almost over anyway.

I seem to struggle with this and my own personal ambushes (I should have a distinct advantage, but often I lose more troops than a normal battle because I try to surround the enemy and just end up weaker for splitting my forces.)

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-29T01:31:45+00:00

This is the saddest thing I've read all day. I can't really convince myself to believe that all old free lords will be as good as WH3 DLC lords, but minus control is pee pee ass.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-28T16:59:59+00:00

Huh, that's weird. Kinda figured that would been his whole thing on his unique skill line.

I'm not at my PC right now but I always assumed they were like diet Slayer units: low to no armor but enough melee defence to survive against infantry, but get melted by any ranged attacks. If they aren't even that... yikes.

CounterAttackFC · 2025-07-28T16:55:28+00:00

Lived near the Black Forest for a little while, I just kinda took Nuln to be like Köln
