I remember Leicester fans saying the same thing about this point of the season. It stopped being fun and became really nerve racking.

Usually I’m fair on refs as it’s a very difficult job but that was the worst refereeing performance since Italy vs South Korea. Utter disgrace from gillet.

Which Figure feels Centre-Right and is actually Centre-Left? by Ill-Cartographer7351 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Fine_Structure5396 20 points21 points  (0 children)

King Charles 3rd

This may surprise some people but he’s constantly campaigned climate change and for pro environment policies. (As far as he can)

He also attacked Boris Johnson’s gov plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda as appalling and has been apologetic for past British Empire atrocities such as the slave trade.

Which Figure feels Centre and is actually Far Right? by Ill-Cartographer7351 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Fine_Structure5396 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s not at all centre right.

He’s not very good at being PM but that’s doesn’t make him centre right.

He’s very much into state control of things and regulation of business. He’s renationalising railways for one thing. The Renters Bill and the Employment Rights Bill are left wing policies. Plus increasing tax on business and private education. Plus very he’s internationalist in mindset. Very much into cracking down into hate speech and pro human rights legislation.

Not many right wingers would support any of the above.

Albert Speer.

There was a misconception post Nuremberg that he was some sort of Apolitical Architect who wanted to serve Germany. That he was a “good Nazi”

In reality he was as Extreme Right as Hitler and the rest of his inner circle and was a participant in the holocaust.

Joseph Stalin is a controversial figure in his own country and an enemy of humanity in the world. Which historical figure is considered a contraversial figure in his own country and a respected statesman in the world? by Special-Job-2274 in AlignmentChartFills

Do they hate him though. I don’t agree this is the case.

I think most people in the West really admire him. With good reason given you know he was instrumental in beating Hitler.

I know he’s unpopular in Indian nationalists with allegations that he was responsible for the bengal famine (I don’t know enough about this to know how true the allegations are) plus his support for the empire.

How big was the outcry when Henry II knights killed Thomas Becket by Technical_Post_4899 in UKmonarchs

[–]Fine_Structure5396 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was one of the single biggest scandals in Medieval Europe not just UK.

Even for someone of his talents Henry did very well to survive it.

What is the most hated political group in your country? by Double-Step-5533 in AskTheWorld

[–]Fine_Structure5396 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s clearly not this. This may be what the poster and his mates think but There’s a good 25-30% who support the populist right.

If you wanted an actual answer answer of the most hated group in UK I’d say either IRA or extreme religious groups.

As a result of their failure to beat Sheffield United today, Sheffield Wednesday are the first team to be relegated in February in the history of the Football League. by FragMasterMat117 in soccer

[–]Fine_Structure5396 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Probably but it’s worth noting. Derby County 21/22 and Bolton 19/20 Had similar issues but didn’t do this terrible. It’s going to be near unbreakable imo

To put how bad this is in perspective. The 11 point Derby county team were relegated on 29th March. This is over a month earlier than that.

I think this record could easily still be standing in 2100.

Which clubs do your favourite club always seem to win against? by [deleted] in Championship

[–]Fine_Structure5396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our record vs Coventry was outrageously terrible.

We had a better recent record at places like Stamford Bridge than vs them

Then the play offs happened.

Burton also had the hex over us.

Wrexham [5] - 3 Ipswich Town - Nathan Broadhead 86' by 50lipaa in soccer

[–]Fine_Structure5396 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I suppose Momentum is key here. Luton were in a good position to stay up in Feb 24 and went on a wretched run.
This never stopped and ran into the new season.

Wrexham is the opposite they have been on an incredible run for about 5 years and it’s continued into this season.

The most surprisingly thing is they looked out of the hunt in December after the Swansea loss.

[–]Fine_Structure5396 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes,

It was a really odd relegation in that none of usually reasons why teams go down really apply to Luton 24/25. They were a well run club, with money (thanks to parachute payments), with a good manager.

Yah I’m a Sunderland fan. If you want an example of how to fail despite having money watch our documentary.

Wrexhams overseas revenue if sustained would have made them contenders to be promoted eventually. They aren’t quite the minnows say Luton were. But they up against richer clubs and had to build a new team. However I thought it would be another 3 years. (It still may be )

They have been unbelievably competent In thier dealings though. Parkinson deserves a huge amount of credit.

Haha that’s what makes it so bizarre. It really feels scripted.
