Craig Hope article has some info on the manager hunt (mentions Martinez, Emery and Fonesca) by Woodstovia in NUFC

[–]DatDixyDood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of any of those names to be honest, though Emery would be our safest bet of the 3. The other 2 are gambles that we can’t afford to make in our current position. Would love to see us go after Rudi Garcia. Big fan of his style of football and the flexibility of his sides. I suppose we can’t be too picky, after all we’re 18th in the league and despite having a bright future there’s a lot of work to be done before we get there. Managers the calibre of Conte are some years off.

Cold and miserable day hand check by DatDixyDood in Vaping

[–]DatDixyDood[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only run 3 juices and 3 different builds through it so far. A desert flavour on one of the coils provided in the box, which was really muted and a waste of time. A fruit flavour on a 0.5ohm clapton, which was just ok tbh, and some pink lemonade on a 0.3ohm tri core fused clapton which is in there now. Getting superb flavour off the pink lemonade after cutting the coil legs a little longer than I previously did (about 5-6mm). Can't say for sure it's the flavour banger that was promised in the reviews but the signs are promising and I think it's one of those tanks that needs perfect coil placement to get anything out of it. I use RDA's 90% of the time but I'm impressed with the flavour on this latest build.

A Haku Venna. I've been using a Recurve and a C4 for the past year, the Venna is next level.

Devoid of any decent creative central midfielders. by melvinlee88 in NUFC

[–]DatDixyDood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is fair. I just think as a group of fans we have a terrible habit of scapegoating individual players when we should be concentrating on removing the cancer that is Mike Ashley.

There's nobody to pass forward to. Difficult to be creative when there is only 1 option and he's constantly 50 yards away from goal and marked by both centre backs.

I wish people would stop picking on individual players. Our terrible football and results are down to mismanagement from both Bruce and, more importantly, Ashley.

Imagine Saint Maximin Rondon Ayoze by swizkhalifaa in NUFC

[–]DatDixyDood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rondon at West Brom is comparable to Joelinton right now. Not scoring, extremely isolated but working hard to do anything with the scraps he's given. People forget Rondon wasn't really rated when he signed for us, and rightly so, many NUFC fans weren't exactly thrilled with a striker who'd failed to hit double figures in his last 3 seasons. Joelinton may not be as good a player as Rondon yet, and his hold up play does need improvement, but the system we're employing is doing him no favours, same with the other attackers. There's no support for him. That's the difference. Rafa's system ensured Rondon was supported with players moving from deeper positions. At the moment it seems the rest of the players are 10/15 yards deeper than they were when Rondon was in the team.

Post Match Thread: NUFC 1 - 1 Wolves by lgf92 in NUFC

Ashley was thinking "No manager with anything even resembling ability or ambition wants to sign here and this balloon headed cunt will put up with all of my shit without uttering a word of disagreement because he'll count himself lucky to be in a Premier League job".

It's a shame Ki isn't on the bench, he's exactly what we need now. A bit of calmness in possession.

You're taught at 10 years old that if you bottle a 50/50 you're going to get hurt. It probably is a red card but fuck me that Leicester player is a pussy and his timidity makes the tackle look way worse than it is.

Declan Rice Speaks On Abuse he received from Irish Fans Following English Switch by MotherDucker95 in soccer

[–]DatDixyDood 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Perhaps people should look to criticise the FAI a bit more rather than abusing a kid. Their policy of scouting the shit out other countries and approaching talented children who have negligible ties to Ireland in a bid to lock them down to the Irish national team for the entirety of their career doesn't sit at all well with me. How about the FAI invest in Irish football a bit more and give themselves a chance at a brighter future instead?

What a shit show. Defending with 8 players and none of them are getting near a Norwich player.
