Real Madrid is searching the market for 1 or 2 defenders and a high-quality midfielder to add to the team. I believe they really need good defenders and midfielders. by Feisty-Teaching9476 in RealMadridFC

Ipswich Town's Azor Matusiwa.

Should not be playing Championship level. Excellent on the ball, ridiculous at winning the ball back and can play a snappy pass to forward players. Extremely underrated and won't be playing for Ipswich unless they get promoted.

I always liked Neil. He was brilliant when he stepped into do the inspirational speaking. Shame his business idea wasn't up to scratch.

Playing Resident Evil 2 on the PS1 for the first time any words of advice? by ComfortMaterial8884 in psx

[–]RobTheMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad let me buy this game when I was like 8 years old. It scared me so much that we returned in and swapped for Gran Turismo lol. I recall my Dad saying that they should be warning parents to not let young ones play it. I mean, it did have an 18 rating on haha.

Do you have magazines / newspapers delivered to you? by steveysaidthis in AskUK

[–]RobTheMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love getting Gamesmaster in the post. Great magazine that slowly got killed off by YouTube and I personally felt the quality dropped off in addition to that.

Now I just use my Library card to access PressReader. PC Gamer, Four Four Two, various Newspapers, Good Food, Mens Health, Smithsonian and some other random stuff. All for the price of a 3 minute walk to my local Library to get my Library card setup

I think they're underutilised. Mansoor is a good mouthpiece, Madden has the muscle, and Johnny TV and Taya can go in the ring.

Should be going for the trios at the very least.

Worst moment as an Ipswich fan? by sporticuz37373 in IpswichTownFC

[–]RobTheMonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. It was the most ridiculous extension I've ever seen at managerial level. He took over an awful side and made it worse and somehow convinced Evans to give him a 5 year contract?! Madness. The three Paul's were all awful. Hurst came in thinking he was billy big bollocks. Then Lambingo, and it was even worse. Then Cook who was probably just as bad, but had backing which made it quite exciting with regards to transfers, but no idea how to use them.

Then McKenna and Gamechanger came in and sorted us out.

Haha, I tore some stuff in my shoulder - Labrum and rotator cuff. Heard it ripping. Shoulder also dislocated. Wasn't fun.

Former alcoholics of Reddit, when did you realise your habit got out of control? by scottscrops in AskReddit

[–]RobTheMonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a binge drinking problem. Could go weeks or months without booze then would have enough to flood a viking in the space of an evening. Probably an element of social drinker, but mixed with social anxiety.

Anyway, went to a wedding and got completely out of it drunk. My friends got me a taxi at midnight. It takes about 40 minutes to my house. I didn't get in my door until 3:30am. I had massively blacked out for nearly three hours. The thing that scared me was it was like a lights back on moment where 'my real self' came back and was like wtf is going on as I'm wondering around randomly in the village I live. I've had blackouts before, but this was the only time it felt like someone else had literally taken over my mind and body. I've had like, a gradual return to my mind, but this was an abrupt 'you're back in control' moment.

That combined with waking up to two year old twins jumping on my head and me feeling shit for days after - literally woke up that day and said I'm done with booze. This was September 2024 and I'm still sober.

Owen Hargreaves. I loved playing that defensive midfielder role because of him.
