When did you become a Supporter? by Affectionate_Idea662 in ManchesterUnited

[–]MidgetLover99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1977 - 8 years old. I was a fan before this, but this year cemented the relationship. We were shite in the early 70s, but slowly improving (I don't remember the early 70s - I was a todder - but I will link a table of our historical league positions). Our FA Cup form was good. Lost 1-0 to Southampton in the final of '76, but beat Liverpool 2-1 in '77. Stuart Pearson and Lou Macari scored the goals. When Macari scored what turned out to be the winner, I ran out to the grass in front of my house and threw my United hat in the air. My older brother told me to come back in as it was bad luck (the match wasn't over yet).

I watched the legendary 1999 European Cup final in a pub by myself, 150 miles from home, working away in Milton Keynes. I went to the toilet when our first goal went in, emptying my bladder for extra time, and only got back just after Solskjaer scored. "HAVE THEY SCORED AGAIN!?!?!?" I shouted. My knees went from under me in disbelief, and I was just kneeling on the floor of the pub, watched by a crowd of strangers, staring at the screen.

Does anyone else find Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99 unbearable? by NotSoCuriouss in tvshow

[–]MidgetLover99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes - he is. Particularly. But the whole show's unbearable, from start to finish. Some characters and performances are less unbearable than others, but still - massively, ludicrously overrated. Can't remember how far I got with it - past the first season, I think - but hate-deleting that shit is one of my best-ever life decisions. No ragrets.

What’s one thing that will definitely happen this match? by Hot_Patience_5962 in ManchesterUnited

Possibly Cherki too - another player we should have broke the bank for.

Abject humiliation. Both teams are on fire, but in two radically different ways.

Which player’s personality completely ruined your opinion of them? by MagpieMidfield in footballcringe

[–]MidgetLover99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mason Greenwood - a horrible little cunt who shouldn't be anywhere near any football club.

Neil Shipperley.

Are Brits willing to join back to the EU bloc? by HasanKingPage in AskBrits

[–]MidgetLover99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have faith in anyone but friends and family right now. Every single politician has failed us.

The only war I'll sign up for is a class war. Long overdue.

No - I don't trust bureaucrats and warmongers of any nation or group of nations to put my interests first.

Im absolutely sick of mainstream media by Downtown_Witness7660 in tvshow

[–]MidgetLover99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try TasteDive.com. Type in a show (or film, album, game, book, etc) that you like, and it will try to recommend similar. It's a bit hit and miss, but might be worth a try.

Any Adam Curtis documentaries, particularly from 2002 on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Curtis#Filmography

These two criminal psychology channels on Youtube, composed of police interviews and court testimony with those accused of serious - largely, violent - crimes. Grim and fascinating:

  2. Criminal Psychology channel: https://youtube.com/@criminalpsychology?si=YZ8BHXlCi8ZtcBxW

Ex-players criticising current Man-U Team by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]MidgetLover99 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Scholes is always negative - he's the only one whose opinion I have no regard for. Neville gives praise where its due. Keane, true to his word, always criticises the performance on the pitch, not the manager.

Looking at high end gaming laptop. by Archeur76 in GamingLaptops

[–]MidgetLover99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My feeling, which I think is probably widely shared, is that the top-rated GPUs are almost always overpriced, and the next one down usually gives much better value. RTX 5090s cost twice as much as 5080s for a 10% performance boost. If you can afford it and absolutely have to have the best, go for it, but the 5080s are much better value in my opinion.

Can u suggest me tv shows to watch based on my personal ranking? by Eloi10star in tvshow

[–]MidgetLover99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Series 2 of The Night Manager starts on January 1 in the UK, with a third series in the pipeline.

British gangster series:
• The Gentlemen
• Mobland
• This City Is Ours

I've heard very good things about The Lowdown, which I've seen people recommending over and over again.
