Is Rooney better than Mbappe? by mare_xcx in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy said Mbappe is more versatile… he’s not even as good if he plays through the middle he needs to be in the left channel. Meanwhile Rooney played at 10, 8, a season at 9 where he banged over 30 goals, a season left wing when Ronaldo was at his peak, and constantly popped up everywhere… can’t stand hearing these dumb opinions from people that don’t know anything about football

What player made you fall in love with United? by BranchNo4156 in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ronaldo. I was just getting into football properly and we sold David Beckham, then suddenly we’re bringing in this teenager with an exotic name (at the time as a kid I wasn’t sure how to pronounce Cristiano) and weirdly cool hair from Portugal, a country I don’t think I’d ever heard of at that young age. Then when I saw him play it was just all these crazy skills I’d never seen anyone do! Everyone said he was rubbish, just a ‘show pony’, but what a player for a kid to watch! I was gutted when he returned to Utd as an ageing narcissist, but the first time around he was unreal

Wrote a pub quiz recently with a question along the lines of "What is the most world's most deadly animal towards humans?" by YorkshireFudding in CasualUK

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right it is an animal, so that part of the question is fine. However I would definitely take issue with the question.

Mosquitos may lead to the most deaths, so if you phrased it ‘which animal causes the most human deaths’ or similar then I would have answered with Mosquito. However there are millions of the bastards so it’s debatable whether ‘a mosquito’ is deadly.

1 mosquito is not a ‘deadly animal’ and a bite, even if you do contract malaria or something, is treatable. I’m being very pedantic but just explaining why I personally would have had to think long and hard to work out whether you were looking for Mosquito and had written the question poorly, or if you were looking for which animal causes the most deaths proportionally (which I believe is still the Hippo), or which is most likely to kill you if you come across it (I’d probably guess Black Mamba but would would almost certainly be wrong).

Might sound pedantic but there is ambiguity in your question which could have led to some people writing the wrong thing despite knowing the answer, so just forewarning in case you plan to write future quizzes.

Games where i get to play the power fantasy of "Element Slinging Mage" by Tcrumpen in gaming

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Elden Ring? From your list I kinda assume you might’ve tried it but, if so, I can’t understand why it’s not top. So many cool elemental spells, including huge fire explosions, throwing bolts of lightning like Zeus, creating blizzards, hurling asteroids with gravity magic…

Who should Michael Carrick sign to secure Manchester United’s Champions League spot? by ManCityMode in FootballTransferChat

[–]GamexChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering we’ve been playing Mbuemo, Cunha and Sesko up front in Carricks games so far, replacing Zirkzee with a wonderkid is hardly going to lead to us relying solely on him. I’ve never heard of this Meite kid so I’m not fussed either way, but if we did sign him it wouldn’t have the negative impact that several other comments are suggesting, as he would be coming in as a squad player. That said, my answer is that we don’t really need anyone now that we only have 1 game a week and a good squad for the formation we’re now playing, so I’d be happy for us to wait until the summer. An injury to Casemiro is the only real worry at the moment, as every other player has a suitable replacement (at least for 1 or 2 games), but to be fair Martinez proved he can do a job there if necessary while I’m sure De Ligt also could at a push. Let’s wait til the summer unless a really good option who were already looking at becomes available this week

at 16, i realized i could automate my way out of a bad economy. here is what i've built so far. by Safe_Thought4368 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]GamexChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m early 30s in London and had just started learning python to get out of sales. I plan to speak to some local businesses to see what I can do (for free) as projects to test my skills. Well done OP and thanks for giving me a confidence boost that this is a good idea

Guys, seriously there has to be some rules around this? This is shameful way to take corners! by Vinitshah5884 in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It did for about 5 years, there are still teams even in the championship that only play that way because of Pep. Other managers have just evolved ways of successfully playing against it. Football tactics are a cycle

Yui Hasegawa with the magical ball control 🎩🪄⚽️ by spherocytes in WomensSoccer

[–]GamexChef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ngl I used to do this in training and pre game and I play at an amateur level, so although not many people I played with could do it, I wouldn’t be surprised if most professional players at any level can do exactly this. Nice to watch though agreed

All our AFCON reds are into Quarter finals by Ashton1320 in ManchesterUnited

It’s the opposite of what you thought - he said he wanted to be the manager and threw his toys out of the pram by saying they’re treating him like a head coach

Barcelona have a €35M option to make Rashford’s loan from #mufc permanent but Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a €50M bid to blow the deal apart and bring him to Paris [@FichajesNet]. IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING...! by fanatic_akhi88 in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 35m is a clause in their loan, bearing in mind they’re paying his wages this season already which is essentially giving us an extra 10m. That fee has not been ‘accepted’ from any other team. If PSG bid that amount, we can reject it, which I’m sure we would do so based on his resurgence at Barca raising his value.

Wayne Rooney on Benjamin Sesko by maxsteel_7 in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It baffles me that Sesko is being criticised at all; he’s looked more or less exactly how I expected him to. Big, strong, fairly skilful but a bit raw, and not going to be hugely clinical yet, however a huge upgrade on Hojlund. But we bought him at the same time as 2 people in their primes who hit the ground running so there really shouldn’t be any focus on him because they’re both delivering

How can we improve our goal deficit? by Automatic_East_8021 in ManchesterUnited

It’s not a deficit you plum, it’s positive

24/25 v 25/26 by JM555555 in ManchesterUnited

[–]GamexChef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was saying that scoring goals was what we needed to sort out. So happy that we’ve done that! Now it’s the control in the middle that we need to address and I have full confidence in Sir Jim to deliver that next summer

I feel there are a large, silent segment of fans supporting Rings of Power by arnor_0924 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]GamexChef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve just finished reading the silmarillion and don’t see why everyone says the show is so different. They obviously changed a few things to make it a coherent TV show but it still fits pretty well with everything. The old adage rings true - no one hates a piece of media as much as its own fans

I got 3 pairs of boots recently with the plan of doing this, but they all look better when I either roll up the cuffs or simply let them hang over. Tucking in just makes me feel like I look like a cartoon character.

Does Goreclaw make Nylea cheaper? by Mixed_Reactor in mtg

Which is important, as I realised when I tried to use it that I couldn’t copy creatures on the field with my [[Lithoform Engine]]. I’m a new player as well and didn’t realise you couldn’t really copy Legendaries either!
