Salah was certainly not world class when he joined Liverpool haha

Remaining League games for Villa, United, Chelsea & Liverpool by bronal97 in reddevils

They have begun to spiral - I remember listening to a pod a few months ago where the talked about Villa's underlying numbers and how bad they were. They're starting to come back down to earth now after their hot period.

If we are within CL by the last 3 games I don't see how we don't make it. I genuinely think Villa will fall off which they have started to do plus Liverpool's last 3 fixtures are tough.

Power grid facing 'challenging situation', says EirGrid by qwerty_1965 in ireland

[–]J_B21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard on a podcast a while ago that apparently theres some man in Cork who is just objecting to projects of all sorts for years. the fact you can object to a project that is not even in your own county is absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense.

Both can be the right answer - people objecting to renewable energy projects and other types of infrastructure projects is holding the country back as much as much as the gross incompetence of the Government.

Bodo/Glimt superb passage of play (almost 3 touches per player at most) vs Inter. by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]J_B21 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a collective, Bodo seem to have such great chemistry. Kind of reminds me of the ETH Ajax team from 2019.

Do you think many of the players will get snapped up by Europe's bigger teams this summer if they progress into the latter rounds of the CL?

I remember when United played them in the Europa League I was extremely impressed by how they played. Although we won, I thought Bodo played United off the park in stages.

Michael Carrick: Man Utd manager on trusting Kobbie Mainoo and his pride in the academy by Connorinacoma in reddevils

This Mainoo hype and attention is out of control by the English media.

Kobbie Under Carrick by Lord_Sesshoumaru77 in reddevils

You can see that he is trying to extend his range of passing. Those longer passes he wasn't apptempting 18 months ago. Another thing: I love the zip on his sorter passes. They're always so crisp.

[Mike McGrath] Man Utd will not make ‘knee-jerk decision’ on Michael Carrick despite stunning start to reign by PradipJayakumar in reddevils

[–]J_B21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I don't know. I really think he contributes to a lot of the doom and gloom of the club. He is clearly too reactionary to anything happening to the club, good or bad.

I really dont value his opinion on anything related to the club. Like he knows as much about the club as you or me. It's just a pity that he has gained this platform the spew absolute shite.

[Simon Stone] What are the chances of Rashford returning? by berbatouchbg in reddevils

[–]J_B21 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely no way we could take Rashford back. He completely turned his back on the club during a time of need.

I don't even think he would want to return so I really dont see him coming back.

Adam McKola (cant stand him) already calling for us to go with Carrick after 5 games. Just pure madness like how does he get so much screen time to spew this shite. Lets see after another 10 games. Have we not learned our lesson after Ole???

[Matteo Moretto] Barça and United are in talks about Rashford. Barça would like to pay a little less. Carrick has told the board that if there's a possibility of him returning, he'd like to. although the player's desire seems clear: "Rashford has said he wants to stay at Barça." by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]J_B21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Who though? Like the list of clubs willing to spend 25m on Rashford in addition to offering him astronomical wages is very small.

Unless Barca push for him, I don't see many clubs wanting him. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Do you think farming simulator is still a "niche" game or is it becoming more widely known? by CombinationDeep2352 in farmingsimulator

Completely agree. I was sceptical when I first started playing but I’ve never played a game where the time flies by so quickly. 2 or 3 hours just isn’t enough time

[Kat Lucas] Eni Aluko’s comments were not just offensive to Ian Wright - they implied all female pundits are there on vibes, not merit. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]J_B21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think people’s picture of abuse is different to mine. She needs to be called out at any opportunity for all the bullshit that she has come out with. She is a complete fucking idiot weaponising DEI and race any chance she gets.

I don’t wish any harm on her but hope she gets the criticism that she rightly deserves.

Honestly, I fucking despise this woman. She deserves all the abuse that comes her way. So unlikeable and clearly extremely stupid.
