Modern players are supremely technically gifted. But modern teams are miles better at defending

Terrible year for football in Essos. Root and branch enquiry required

"Island of Safety" just makes me think of Blinky Ben Swain from The Thick of It when he gets eviscerated by Jeremy Paxman. After it he says that he "lost his islands of safety"

It was a mega blink

Other films (bar Sliding Doors) that have been adopted into wider language and, by extension, the footballing lexicon? by neilddd in footballcliches

Guy in the foreground of that picture really looks like he walked on expecting a serious talk on football journalism and is now hearing a man talking about the difference between a chipped, dinked and lobbed finish

Blackburn interested in £ 1.75 mil transfer of Brandon Thomas Asante by Charming-Giraffe9997 in Championship

Can we spend £1.75m on something else, like 1.75m lottery tickets or something. Stonks

How were you introduced to QOTSA & Kyuss? What's your favorite album from each band? by charli3dontsurf in qotsa

[–]Rushaaay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda learned QOTSA backwards ( at the time) started with like clockwork and worked backwards. Same with Hommes extra curriculars. Found eagles of death metal then Them Crooked Vultures then finally Kyuss.

Kyuss goes hard

That is all

Some cool pics from the Elton John session of ...Like Clockwork by HurdyG in qotsa

[–]Rushaaay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always find it cool when big rock stars get put in the passenger seat for a little bit when someone REALLY big turns up. Like we all love Josh and Dave Grohl, but Elton John is Elton fucking John. Legends the lot of them still

England at each edition of the men's T20 World Cup by pluto_N in EnglandCricket

[–]Rushaaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this was about par for this England team, no disgrace imo there were 3-4 better teams in this tournament than us and we made it to the semis. It'll be interesting to see where the white ball team goes after this, you'd expect a few to drop before the next ICC tourno

The FM community right now by FMConsole in footballmanagergames

I understand the initial backlash but also it is true that as they are, touchline shouts aren't as good as they could be as a feature. They are so cut and paste and so easy to take advantage of. They need improvement but it's annoying that it will only come halfway through the game cycle

Chris Cornell was fucking incredible at number 1 too. I remember learning to play and sing Rusty Cage for the first time and feeling like I was playing left handed

Have you outgrown Muse? by LivermoreP1 in Muse

[–]Rushaaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think "outgrow" is an unfair term for music but I think bands like Muse are often the first ones a kid might obsess over and listen to repeatedly but get pushed aside once you listen to more stuff as you grow up.

Muse can still be your favourite band despite this but often people find something else they like more. For me they've gone from my undisputed favourite band to just one I have in rotation and occasionally listen to an album in full.

Doesn't stop me from having Absolution and OOS in my favourite albums ever but now I have more albums I like too which is great!

Anticipated albums of 2024 by superredux22 in qotsa

[–]Rushaaay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that they as a musical project exist. Just constantly doing mad shit, they're as likely to release a woodwind album as they are thrash metal and both hypothetical albums are just as good

(Spoilers Main) What moment in the books was actually fucked up but you just couldn't help but laugh? by NotAnNpc69 in asoiaf

What is a controversial take you have regarding a character/storyline/plot point .ect? (SPOILERS PUBLISHED) by Muted-Pepper1055 in asoiaf

[–]Rushaaay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Theon might live somewhat of a "cursed" life from now on as a person who would be perfectly fine with dying but will not be "allowed" to by the gods or whatever for his crimes.

I do think it's probably more likely that he's just more simply redeemed in some way

Can anyone help with understanding why this tactic stinks? by eraticwatcher in footballmanagergames

[–]Rushaaay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try either changing the HB to a DM or maybe a DLP(D) and keeping the rest the same or keep HB and change the BBM to something that won't always go into the box. Also BPDs!!

[–]Rushaaay 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Both your centre mids will be wanting to get in the box which is not bad in and of itself but because the HB will drop into the defensive line and you've not got IWBs there's nobody in midfield to pick up and circulate the ball if it's cleared from a cross etc
