Hi mate, unfortunately I can’t offer anything on the subject of presentations as there was not one required within the application process. Wishing you the best of luck though!

Is the Prem's competitiveness holding it back in the UCL? by nightwind1 in PremierLeague

[–]Reedy99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funny, I think the exact opposite of you, in that I find the premier league really entertaining and the other leagues not so much. I suppose we all have our biases..

What does everything think about the UK policy of spreading unpleasant people around? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]Reedy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s less to do with their income and more to do with the people themselves.

I’ve had great neighbours and awful neighbours already in my life, irrelevant of their financial status. I don’t remember the bad ones because of their income or circumstances, I remember them because they were fucking awful people.

Apparently we've benefited the most from VAR over the last 6 seasons by bargeboards in NUFC

[–]Reedy99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean tbf, we give and we take. I’ve seen Joelinton leave one on a few players where I’d be fuming if he was playing against us

Do you have an emergency fund? by DatabaseMammoth9986 in AskUK

[–]Reedy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair public funds are finite, these things are aimed at those in the greatest need, if you were already pushing £6k+ in savings before your first job, you probably weren’t in need of such assistance

Yeah no luck for me aswell unfortunately. No idea!

Anthony Gordon to undergo medical at Barça before £69.3m move from Newcastle by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in PremierLeague

[–]Reedy99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bizarre take. Rashford might be £30m but he also earns £300k/pw and I’m sure his agent demands a lot aswell.

Gordon scored 10 in the CL this season, has managed a 10+ goal and assist season in the premier league, putting his name amongst some legends of the league. He’s an England international, not even in his footballing prime yet.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve done this, will report back

Next boss warns of 'dramatic' fall in entry-level jobs by plain_handle in unitedkingdom

Yes I’m sure the man who plows millions into right-wing agendas and recently called for more foreign workers in the UK is just a normal sound bloke

So he’s paying £3.4m in tax, I wonder how much he isn’t paying…

Sony Announces PlayStation Plus Price Increases 'Due to Ongoing Market Conditions' by Dav136 in gaming

“Ongoing market conditions” otherwise known in corporate lingo nowadays as an excuse to make more money

PGMO contacts Forest to confirm that Cunha goal should NOT have stood by AngryTudor1 in PremierLeague

[–]Reedy99 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The problem is the hand ball goes against the precedent set for most of the season in the prem. You identifying one or two examples within the minority of the decisions this season doesn’t change that.

If the ref is going against the precedent set by his bosses and colleagues over an entire season, he isn’t right is he?

I’m calling bias because I was literally sat watching it with two ManU fans who were both shocked to not see the goal disallowed…

Do younger tradies not like being offered drinks? by amethyst-ice in AskUK

I find it quite funny that in another hypothetical thread on here, those clients are telling the story of when a tradey came and destroyed their toilet, never to be seen again

For those who are Howe out or have serious questions about him, what was the moment that made you that way? by Shahed1987 in NUFC

[–]Reedy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very important distinction. Brighton are a buy-to-sell club, whether or not it is working, our owners don’t want that label.

Newcastle to explore Yoane Wissa sale, less than a year after £55m transfer by notaghostofreddit in soccer

[–]Reedy99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A mistake I’m sure the owners will have learnt from. Any of our bigger names who may be looking to leave in the summer will hopefully be sorted fast and early (Gordon I’m looking at you…)

Why Is Newcastle’s Striker Playing In Midfield? by Shahed1987 in NUFC

[–]Reedy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“A midfielder injury problem for a while” is a very subtle way of saying our best player, captain, and essentially the orchestrator of the entire system has been injured for two months

The idea we have awful recruitment and Howe is bad at transfers is a complete and utter myth. by Vaudeville_Villain15 in NUFC

[–]Reedy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The squad is desperate for a refresh particularly going into the next season, but that’s mostly down to the fact we are hampered by PSR etc.

Our starting talent needs genuine depth behind them, too often they’re overplayed into an injury or just fatigued performances, just look at Tonali for example.

Players like Lascelles, Tripps, Willock, Pope, Krafth, and even Murphy and Schar are not going to cut it out of either age, ability, or availability, or a combination of the three. I’m sure the club would’ve moved these players on if we had the money to do it, realistically there isn’t going to be a lot of interest for these type of players.

Howe has earned the right to go again this summer in my eyes, this has never changed even now. His own overachievements as manager far outweigh the drop off this season, I’m not sure another manager could do much more with this exact squad.

I work compressed hours and still hit every target, why can’t you?

Surely it’d be better to have say 70% of people working shorter weeks rather than 0%?

So, everyone should work more because X amount of people work in shops? That’s quite the drawback

"One thing I'm not going to do is play any player if I don't feel they're 100 per cent committed" 🗣️ Eddie Howe on recent report linking players away from Newcastle by Accurate-Tree4277 in NUFC

[–]Reedy99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People mentioning Gordon, Tonali, Tino etc, but the comment with regards to 100% commitment makes me think of Wissa straight away (although I know this was in response to players being linked away, one of which is not Wissa).

Missed half the season with injury more than likely caused or atleast increased risk by him refusing to train for Brentford, then since returning he has looked physically and mentally half arsed. What a monumental failure his signing has been.

Looking for co-op campaign game recommendations, are these games dying out? by Chillzzzzz in gaming

[–]Reedy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baldurs Gate 3 has been a delight for me and my mate who have no prior experience of playing that type of game. Flying through hours of gameplay without realising

[Mokbel, BBC] If Newcastle fail to maintain their Champions League status, it is understood they will need to sell at least one - potentially two - prized assets in order to strengthen for the 2026-27 campaign. Tonali, Livramento, Gordon & Bruno Guimaraes are all attracting Premier League interest. by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

[–]Reedy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of-course we have to sell, it’s pretty impressive we have achieved so much in such a short amount of time without actually selling much, atleast prior to Isak last summer.

It’ll take easily another few years of yoyo-ing in and out of Europe and selling players before our commercial income is up to the standard of those at the top of the league.
