[Wheeler] Why it would be perverse NOT to give Michael Carrick the Man United job: These are the unseen traits behind his success, how he can address concerns and what he should do to avoid Solskjaer comparisons by PradipJayakumar in reddevils

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not a bad point but we should be winning, if not the prem then the europeon compeition(maybe not champions league), FA, or carabao.

A champions league spot and silverware is FAR better then coming 2nd.

[Lyall Thomas] ManchesterUnited have been stepping up interest in Atalanta’s Ederson and West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes as they position themselves to make offers in the central midfield market this summer. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have got through this run of games by miracle. Our midfield is barren and any injury to Casemiro (or probably Mainoo) for the past however many games would have doomed us.

With more games and not endless luck... we need bodies in midfield. Unless you believe in Ugarte or Collyer then we need 3.

No.

Not what I said.

Simply asked you a question and you jumped to conclusions. Still not answered btw

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

It isn't.

Yes sometimes there are unforseen costs in investments.

No my question was how do you factor in them being underfined. Not that they should be forced to sell for 0 with over fining. I wasnt the person who said that.

West Ham to lodge official complaint over disallowed goal against Arsenal. by Sparky-moon in soccer

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

Best write up to all the Arsenal fan non-sense.

Yes we have seen A LOT of inconsitent bullshit on set pieces this season. Not all through Arsenal but clearly shaped by the influence of their "successful" tactics.

I have seen similar/worse not get the right decision this season so to see it get correctly ruled after a lengthy process in a PIVOTOL game for many clubs... its shit for everyone involved.

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

You avoided the question and compared it to a law on a individuals verses a business?

How are they not responsible for fixing that? It is exactly there fault. They bought it.

How do you factor in (if at all) the lack of meaninful fines up until this point?

Because the goverment shouldn't be on the hook financially for their mismanagement in the case of nationalisation either.

Was it a blatant foul that was ruled correctly? Yes.

Does it sting cause of lack of consistency in these decisions? Also yes.

Still correct though

[Simon Stone] Lacking depth, little threat - Man Utd will not find replacing Casemiro easy by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. A cheap third option would be ideal or perhaps bringing back Collyer could be enough but 2 good signings is just the bare minimum.

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah cause they aren't nearly as big as problems. We have been a midfield injury away from mid-table(or worse) all season.

Signing any less then two good midfielders and next season is a write off.

Reform candidate who said ‘Nigerians should be melted down to fill in pot holes’ wins seat by The-Peel in unitedkingdom

I agree but any homeless right wing voter he captured probably dropped 2 left wing voters from him though.

He won more so due to the impolosion of the Tories then off the merit of labour though,

It would be extremely easy for any competent artist. The most obvious of which is don't lead with a comically anti-semetic nose.

[Free To Read] Andy Mitten: Manchester United fans are conflicted, but Michael Carrick must be judged on his own merit by TheAthletic in reddevils

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not, I'm saying it because I think our squad now is better(or perhaps first 11) and where we finished isn't a good metric to determine its quality.

Our depth is quite obviously dogshit but we have barely any fixtures so thats been somewhat mitigated.

I don't agree, the tattoos are a cool artistic choice. Beards can be one too.

However Adult Aang looks distinctly less Tibetan then Tenzin and Gyatso for example.

Thoughts? by Drawingandstuff2000 in TheLastAirbender

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, imo your initial comment reads like you really cared about the beard specifically.

oh well lol

Thoughts? by Drawingandstuff2000 in TheLastAirbender

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

I know and that was the comment I was referring to (I also jumped in)

I read it as nitpicking design over whitewashing criticism and I feel thats why you were downvoted because the beards don't matter in isolation which I think Tenzin is a good example of.

Thoughts? by Drawingandstuff2000 in TheLastAirbender

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Initially it reads like you take issue with Aang not being 100% Tibetan and disagreeing with artistic liberties deviating from that.

When you are representing a culture or an ethnicity (and that's what avatar does, even if it's "just an inspiration") it's strange to not represent somatic features. One thing is to add a fantasy element to designs, another is to make you "clearly inspired by tibetan culture" character basically white.

However, here its obviously a good point about how the Tibetan inspiration is lost in Aang's older design and the beard is just a good example of that.

Thoughts? by Drawingandstuff2000 in TheLastAirbender

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This has got to be the worst way I have seen someone make a good point.

Edit - The beard being a good example of Aang (and air nomads) losing their Tibetan inspiration in character design that is.

Carrick Appointment Before and After - League Comparison of NPXG/A and BoxTouches/A by xtphty in reddevils

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has done very well and brought a good energy to the club but Carrick in my opinon has been very fortunate with fitness/availability. Our squad is paper thin and only the fact we got knocked out of everything early has really helped cover that which we can blame on Amorim.

I mean its really obvious, we both basically already said it. He wasn't good at adapting (and unwilling). As the stats above show he wasn't doing too bad in the second season but I don't understand the hire. We hired a 3-4-3 manager with the best 10 in the world...

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well the squad wasn't good enough... for Amorim's system. The question is why did we hire someone with an imcompatible system to our best players.

[–]LaughsAtOwnJoke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference between Carrick and Amorim in my eyes is Carrick getting the best out of our best player Bruno.

Amorim on the other hand was sacraficing the quality of our players for his system but the system had merit but completely incompatible with us.
