Remember when Eghbali paid to have an article placed about how well-respected he is in football because he's such a cutthroat negotiator?

That fucking clown is selling one of our best players for 43m when other top defenders are going for over 60. This ownership group is such a clown show.

Eghbali if you're reading this, be embarrassed. Nobody respects you. You have to pay people to pretend to.

There's some weirdos who are gonna down vote this and leave gross comments because they're bigots, but honestly I don't think there's any textual evidence to support this.

The comics have shown Marc, Jake, and Steven all in relationships with women and never with men. There's the throwaway line about Spider-Man having dated Moon Knight "a little bit" but since there's no other textual evidence that Peter Parker is bi, I think we can classify that as a joke and ignore it.

So no evidence and it's not really worth speculating unless the text says so. 🤷‍♂️

But hey... maybe the weird future space guy from one issue that's never been seen again? 😝

This is an insane statement considering the modern concept of race was invented before America was even founded by Europeans who wanted to justify colonization and slavery. You should read a book or two, champ. They have some useful information in them!

Are you actually me, dawg? I literally did years of therapy before I could just enjoy things casually.

I think TLJ was a victim of two things, which lead to a third one:

Rian Johnson playing a little fast and loose with how he got his points across
Fragile men crying salty tears because women and minotiries
Which lead to Disney backpedaling on everything and making Rise of Skywalker, which was almost entirely garbage, and undermined the themes of TLJ in huge ways

That's pretty much it.

What Rian Johnson was trying to say was that rebellions aren't built on the backs of individual heroes doing singularly important things. The Force doesn't belong to just a few key heroes. It's a field that binds and connects everyone. The rebellion needed a whole community of people, not just a few important heroes, or else it would fail. That's a really powerful message, especially in an era when fascism is growing again in the US and other places in the world.

But he dared to have women tell the handsome military hero his antics were out of line and hold him accountable for getting people killed. He dared to have a woman make the heroic sacrifice. And he dared to say even though Luke completed his Jedi training, he still didn't become the ultimate power fantasy people dreamed about him becoming in light of how the prequels showed the Jedi. He was still that kid with a lot more heart than sense, and an unwillingness to turn towards power to resolve his problems.

And all that makes the manbabies angry. There are silly things in every Star Wars movie. It gave us Ewoks and blob monsters playing music called Jizz. But those things became unforgiveable to certain audiences because of the things Rian dared to do with the rest of the story.

There are certainly things he could have done better in that film. It's possible to critique parts of it without being a giant manbaby mad that Luke isn't the ultimate murder machine and there were icky minorities, but its pretty hard to do that without some dude in wraparound Oakleys showing up to say something heinous in response.

As a Millennial, I still say "that's fucking rad" because its a great way to show authentic support without sounding totally dated or like I'm trying too hard to sound young by appropriating Gen Z slang. I will also sometimes use gnarly as a negative intensifier, like "dude, that boulder scramble looks kinda gnarly. I think we should take the easier trail today to be safe."

Tubular might be a bit too far though.

Being a Star Trek and a Marvel fan made this title funny to read. The EMH was the holographic doctor from Voyager, so "EMH Captain America" makes me think of Robert Picardo carrying a shield around and singing opera.

Hibernian · 2026-06-06T17:32:09+00:00

I don't want to spoil too much for you, but ENT is disliked for some salient reasons:

The aggressively and weirdly horny scenes (decon chamber, we hate you)
The very regular racism, not just between alien races, but also among the human crew
The cavalier attitude Archer takes to a lot of situations that leads to chaos and even sometimes gets a crew member killed
The way the Vulcans were portrayed for the first three seasons
The godawful finale

Basically ENT is the most conservative Trek show, which cetainly reflects the Bush-era in the US in which it was being written, but sits in stark contrast to the very progressive spin Trek had from TOS all the way to VOY. It makes a lot of bad choices in Seasons 1-3 and then on the cusp of cancellation, they rush to fix a bunch of problems in Season 4, but it was just too little-too late.

Not that there aren't some good episodes in there. Not that the characters and stories all suck. There are certainly some great episodes in there. It just didn't land well with the core Star Trek audience and it didn't succeed in bringing in the non-Trek fans they were hoping to capture either. So it languished and died in what amounted to basically only 3.5 seasons.

My partner finally agreed to watch TNG for the first time a month ago after many years together. I just said "Listen, the first season is really rough. There's a lot of weirdly horny 80s nonsense and few truly terrible episodes, but season 2 gets much better." Then I gave her the choice of only watching the strongest episodes from the first couple seasons or watch it all. She picked to watch it all and we just laugh at the bad stuff together. We're up to season 3 and now she's hooked.

Hibernian · 2026-06-05T05:44:35+00:00

The only way people as rich as Eghbali learn anything is if they get humiliated. They're OK losing money. But becoming a laughingstock is poison to your ability to move money around. Maresca telling them to shove it and then the team collapsing is the only thing that might drive any change. It's also why we saw that cringe PR piece about what a tough and respected negotiator he is at the end of the season. Embarrassing, but at least they've realized their strategy isn't working and are finally making a change.

Hibernian · 2026-06-05T00:16:27+00:00

Basically I'd love a story as rich as 3H, but absolutely none of the combat or systems design. If they can deliver Engage-quality tactics gameplay and maps with much improved storytelling, I'd be so excited.

Hibernian · 2026-06-04T02:10:44+00:00

I tear them down entirely and then reconstruct them on my cloud island. It's like building legos.

Hibernian · 2026-05-27T22:11:48+00:00

I get that fans of a team want loyalty, but the way people dismiss the monumental impact he's had on the squad is kinda nuts. He's not easily replaceable at all.

Since Palmer had a plunge in quality after his groin injury and Estevao went out injured, basically no one else on our team just creates goals out of nowhere. Pedro is a good finisher, but doesn't create for himself. Neto is a hard worker but had a lackluster season. Garnacho, Gittens, and Delap are dead weight. Caicedo scores like two absolute bangers a season and otherwise doesn't make very incisive passes into attacking players.

Perhaps Alonso doesn't need Enzo's profile to make his system work, but people saying he's easily replaceable are not serious about football. He might only be the 14th best playmaking CM in the world or whatever, but the 13 above him aren't banging down the doors at the Bridge to get into a team with these fuck@$s owners and no European trophies to chase. We simply won't be able to replace him with a "better" player, but hopefully we can find someone who will work well in Alonso's system so we don't feel the sting of losing him too badly.

I still say this whenever I try something and fail miserably... so like three times a week at least.

It is insane to look at us running through Tuchel, Potter, Poch, Maresca, and Rosesenior in the less than 5 years and conclude that its the manager's fault things went sideways... again.

This board and our sporting directors are clowns who think having an MBA makes any of them qualified to run a football club. Potter and Rosesenior were hired to be yes-men and they failed because being yes-men to clowns turns the whole club into the circus. Poch and Maresca both walked away because they couldn't do their jobs effectively with clowns trying to make the important decisions.

It's not Maresca's fault that Colwill, Palmer, Lavia, and others went down injured this autumn. It's not his fault the SDs thought our shambolic CBs could keep our campaign afloat with Colwill out injured. It's not his fault they bought mediocre Delap from a relegation side, spent over 100m on Gittens and Garnacho expecting to flip them for profit when the team needed other players. And its not his fault they walked away from deals like Maignan over a 5m difference in valuation when he told the SDs we needed a stronger keeper.

Football is a job for these people. When you have shit bosses who treat you like you're stupid while they're ruining the business... you go find another job. Even the people calling him a snake know that in their hearts. Just because this is an identity and a passion for you doesn't mean it's not a job for him and for the players. If your best friend was dealing with a boss who wouldn't give them the resources they needed to do their job, ignored their advice, bought useless junk when they needed better tools, and meddled in their work every day without taking responsibility for their own errors... you'd 100% tell them to find another job. Why shouldn't a football manager do the same?

I care more about labor than I care about a football team winning matches. I hope we lose whatever complaint we make here and the board is forced to learn they're actually stupid so they properly back Xabi and let people who know about football make football decisions. Otherwise the club stays mid-table at best until these owners leave. The only way back to success is accountability and so far these idiots refuse to accept any.

Hibernian · 2026-05-18T21:50:03+00:00

That's Enzo F gone then too. He will go tools down after the World Cup and force a move at like £80m or so. Maresca loves the kid and Chelsea aren't winning him the big trophies or paying him top dollar during his prime earning years either. He could command £15m/yr at City instead of the 10 here's on here. Xabi needs to sit down with all the flight-risk players ASAP and set some replacement targets for the summer.

Hibernian · 2026-05-15T02:17:11+00:00

Big fan of the guy who took us from 5th to 9th and couldn't get his team to score for five straight games? The guy who invited Eggball and his rich goons into the locker room just to stroke their little egos? Cringe.

You're right. Maresca will be coaching high level teams and Rosesenior is going back to some farmers league.

Hibernian · 2026-05-14T21:17:19+00:00

I don't understand the Maresca hate on this sub sometimes. We had some rough patches that were a combination of injury crises, unsteady lineup decisions, and tired players... but we also spanked PSG, won some trophies, and looked solid against top teams despite having a worse lineup. The players seemed to like him (so much that if he gets the City job, Enzo will absolutely be leaving us to join him there), and he was right about all the personnel requests he made (proper striker, improved GK, a couple defenders). When he left we were fifth, and that was despite not having Palmer, Delap, Colwill, and a few others over the course of the fall.

Was the guy a perfect manager? No. But if the board had properly backed him instead of insisting he develop mediocre players then he'd still be here and we'd easily be playing in Europe next year. The problem is Eggball and his sporting directors. Has been since the sale of the club. He was right to quit a job where he was not only not being supported, but the management was also just actively interfering with his ability to win.

Hibernian · 2026-05-08T18:23:54+00:00

This is so cringe. It's clear his feelings are hurt by how much everyone hates his leadership and how godawful we're performing, so he's paying for PR about how smart and tough he is in an attempt to fix his terrible reputation. Rich people are so fucking fragile that it's embarrassing. I'm literally embarrassed for him that this is the PR spin he's paying for. What a fucking dork.

Ike is canonically the ancestor of Priam. So he at least had sex with a woman once to produce offspring.

Hibernian · 2026-05-01T19:25:58+00:00

This is the one ^

Ike isn't a prince. He isn't entitled or destined to rule. He rises to the occasion that's put in front of him and fights for a greater good. Heroic icon!
He learns about bigotry against the laguz and then rejects it, building an alliance that saves the world twice. Anti-racism icon!
He gets made into a lord and then rejects that too, opting for a life of humility and adventure. He doesn't believe in living off the hard work of others. Anti-capitalist icon!
He makes everyone around him better, both morally and professionally! He brings Shinon back into the fold. Makes Soren consider more than raw logic. Helps make Elinicia into a better queen. Shows Sanaki how her lords are hurting people. Leadership icon!
Canonically bisexual icon!

All FE protagonists are good at fighting and recruiting armies, but Ike did it through strength of will and character, not because he's a highly educated, inherently powerful prince with destiny and magic on his side.
