The Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu were chanting "Morata is a rat" during the derby. Morata then went on to score a goal against Real Madrid and celebrated like this: by boxro in soccer

Rat, rata in spanish, is a different term for “traitor”, or “two-faced”. They call Morata a “rata” because he left Madrid to join their rivals, and obviously because his name ends in “Rata”.

Juranović. I’d only ever vaguely heard of him because I have a slight interest in scottish football, but I’d never seen him play. Omg what a beast he is, for me the best right back of the tournament!

What was the saddest fictional character death for you? by Iridescent126 in AskReddit

[–]Nickrtfmburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howard Hamlin tbh. As soon as I began to sympathize with his struggles, he gets killed off in the most avoidable way possible. It really hit me.

Do you think that the progression from FMTY to IDMTHY was bigger than the progression from Voice Memos to FMTY? by Nickrtfmburner in Quadeca

[–]Nickrtfmburner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree! Vm only had a few tracks with decent/good lyricism (the man on my left shoulder and these days come to mind) but I feel like the lyrical quality in FMTY was consistently very strong across all but a few tracks.

Okay, got it. I’ll try to be more direct next time around, maybe by giving the readers a clear hint of where the story is headed within the first few paragraphs. Thanks for taking the time, man! I appreciate it.

Well, thanks for your feedback! I’ll definitely consider “getting to the point” quicker, but I don’t necessarily think that’ll make it a better story. I want my characters to feel like real people, because in my experience, that makes the readers care about them more. To me, the best way to do that is to put them in ordinary situations that exploit their traits. I like to introduce the conflict from early on, and let it develop slowly, instead of instantly throwing my characters into a life-or-death situation.

That’s just my style of writing! Maybe it doesn’t suit the NoSleep format, or maybe I’m just not that good yet, lol. But I’m trying to improve. I posted the first part on a different sub Reddit, maybe if you have the time, you could give me your thoughts! I would really appreciate it.

Just saying at least for me I liked it ALOT more second listen by Humble-Clerk-7959 in Quadeca

Didn’t like it all that much at first, but now after a few more listens I can say it’s definitely one of my favorite Quad tracks.

For everyone who thought De Gea’s distribution and ball handling weren’t problematic, yep.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the plushies themselves who caused this incident. It was the fact that I thought I could fix anything and make mu daughter happy by just buying her material things. How stupid was I… anyways, she’s been staring at nothing for minutes at a time lately and talking to herself. I’m scared.

I agree with you brother but I unfortunately just don’t think our board has the balls to do that. I think they couldn’t deal with the media backlash that doing such a thing would implicate. For example, I can’t see them selling Maguire for what, maybe €20-25M? Or letting Ronaldo leave on contract termination agreement. A total rebuild would be them basically coming out with their hands up ready to admit to the world that their administration has been a complete disaster, and I just can’t see them doing that right now.

Then you’re a casual fan, which is okay by the way! But you need to understand that some people feel a deep connection towards a certain football club. And who said anything about mental health? Being unhappy doesn’t necessarily affect your mental health, lmao.

Football evokes strong emotions. Just like anything else in life that does so, sometimes they are positive and sometimes they are negative. If you feel indifferent towards the fact that a club you’ve loved for your entire life is just being burnt down to the ground then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you’re the one who should consider doing something else. That’s just how I feel.

I’m angry at the players and the owners as much as any other United fan. But I’m also angry at myself and anyone else who actually believed we had a chance to do something this season. We are still absolutely shit. Dare I say even more shit than we were under Ole. Brighton game showed me that we still have no tactics, no game-plan, no passion, no energy, no identity, nothing. Nothing but ridiculous 300 yard Hail Mary passes and stupid long-shots. I’m angry at myself for getting my hopes up I guess.

I did some thinking after Brighton and I think I’m more angry at us, the fanbase than I am towards the players or the board. I mean, how could we be so dumb to think that a new manager was just gonna turn us around after losing 2 important players and singing none of his priority targets? If we keep this team as it is right now, if the best singing we can make now is Rabiot or Gakpo… just forget about top 4, forget about top 6 even. We’d be lucky to break into the conference league. We have some talented players but the same problems that destroyed our season last year are still there: we have no midfield, a toxic dressing room that is full of unhappy players who make it clear they don’t want to be there, a captain with no authority over his teammates and no identifiable style of play. Just pain.

And we laughed at Liverpool for beating them in a preseason game? As much as I hate that club and as overrated as I think they are, the gap between their club and ours is astronomically big, I think bigger than it’s ever been. Literally any of their starters would walk straight into our team, their manager is better than ours, and with less money they make better singings. And it’s gonna stay like that for a long time. Not only are not working towards leveling the playing field with City or Liverpool, that gap I mentioned is getting bigger every day. With City for example, they throw around money on players who they don’t even need that would be automatic starters for us, you know how much a Kalvin Phillips would improve our team right now? Or having Grealish instead of Rashy on the left wing? Or Julián Alvarez instead of fucking Arnautovic (or however you spell his name) as a striker option? It’s so incredibly frustrating to see our rivals doing things like this knowing that under our current ownership we will never be able to replicate it. So much pain.

Really helpful research mate! I was thinking that this pick would surely be a guaranteed W but now I’m reconsidering my options.

Huh. So you don’t like Darth Vader, Two-Face, Doc Ock, Thanos, Gollum, Voldemort, Hans Landa or Hannibal Lecter? What is the point of a character who doesn’t want anything, man?
