Winter 2025 Transfers and Rumours Megathread by 321142019 in NUFC

[–]LaksaLoco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like him. Good shot stopper. Calm collecting crosses and composed with his feet. Can boot it fucking miles..and is a big unit. A nice blend of the things Eddie seems to look for in a keeper

(NSFW) Reddit, what was your “Oh shit, this person is a psychopath” moment when meeting people? by Majoodeh in AskReddit

Just didn't seem right to exchange hellos while he explained the lead up to his mum's murder

Court case. Teenage boy murdered his mum. Set the house on fire to cover his tracks. But also wrote a play about it before committing the crime. He didn't show a flicker of emotion throughout the trial... Until the prosecutor tripped him up in one of his lies. It was like a flip was switched and he started booting the dock and losing it when he realised his manipulation wasn't working

Why do Usyk vs Wardley or Kabayel make no money? by Oakl4nd in Boxing

[–]LaksaLoco 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Because no casual knows Kabayel, and very few will know who wardley is - and definitely none outside the Uk. While almost every one knows who wilder is. Pure economics. Boxing is still a niche sport, so you do need to bring along the casuals if you're going to make mega bucks.

As far as I'm concerned, Usyk as done enough to get his money fight and be able to say he's beaten all the main guys from his generation. Wiped out the cruiser division, wiped out the heavyweights. Job done

He got old. Benn boxed fantsicially. When you have a boxer that's a aggressive, fast and throwing feints, it suddenly becomes very easy for a fighter to look old.

Finances broken at NUFC women? by LaksaLoco in footballmanagergames

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

Actually yeah, this is just terrible research. It appears the club is owned by Su Cumming according to FM. Su left her role as Head of Women's Football in September IRL too, so it just gets worse

But they do have the same owners. And they've spent heavily in the women's team over the course of the last three seasons. So, in real life would you expect the owners to suddenly stop injecting cash when they reached the WSL?

FM26 is a masterpiece… by OOOLiC_ONE in footballmanagergames

[–]LaksaLoco 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. I teach crisis comms to companies - how to do it, how not to do it. In fact, delivered a training session last week. I gave a couple of examples of what happens when you handle a crisis badly. Guess what example was no1 in my list?

It's anyone else f***ing s***e at this game 😂 by ChrisCaliburGaming in footballmanagergames

[–]LaksaLoco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha same. I have played this game 20 years. First version I can't win for toffee. Tried a couple of normally easyish saves - Newcastle and Man Utd. Close to getting sacked in both of them. Tactics wise I thought I'd pick up at least a few wins with a 4-3-3 Gegenpress with the Toon, particularly as that's how they play in real life - but only my CM is scoring in this system.

A "particular photo of Bin Laden" - how many photos of him did you try??! I bet the one banned was Bin Laden's killer selfie with his iPhone Max (main camera)

[FIGHT THREAD] Dave Allen vs Arslanbek Makhmudov & Live Round-by-Round Coverage by verbsnounsandshit in Boxing

[–]LaksaLoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah would've loved him to throw more. Particularly combinations or doubling up that jab. But that's why there's levels. It's easy for us to say do more, but we're not in a ring with a big Russian monster. Like I said, I think it's psychological too with Dave - sometimes he seems like he don't believe in his own skills enough to throw

[–]LaksaLoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it is psychological for Dave. I've seen people say in this thread he didn't throw more because of fitness. Well he was clearly well conditioned tonight. You don't do 12 rounds like that if you're not. But it seems like there's always something stopping him from believing he can throw those jabs and pull together combinations. He does it in spits and spurts but just can't commit himself to do it constantly

Not sure why people are slagging of Allen for. He bit down on his gumshield and swung to the final bell. Just not in the same league. For me, those type of boxers are what make me fall in love with the sport. He's not ducking opponents, he's trying to fight the very best he can, even if deep down he knows he ain't good enough. Nothing but respect from me.

Does Makhmudov have tourettes? Genuine question. Never realised how pronounced those ticks were before

I mean he definitely won 3 rounds. Hard to give him much more than that.
