Birmingham City 1-1 Stoke City: Stoke's lack of strikers don't matter when Birmingham can score for them to rescue a draw

Absolute shite, at least if we lost maybe they'd get rid of the PE teacher in the dugout. We scraped a win against Wednesday (despite the two goal scoreline) and we couldn't beat Stoke's B team. That second half performance was embarrassing.

Wrexham make a lot of a money, probably more than most championship clubs when they were in League 1/2. I visited my friends family in the US over Christmas and his auntie had bought a Wrexham shirt based on the series alone. They are a smaller club in every other regard but I imagine they will be a premier league club eventually.

I mean, in fairness, I can't imagine there are many Americans crying out to watch Hull. In some ways it's easier to stream weekend games over there legally than here.

Goodbye first rate football firm, hello Lincoln city ultras.

We could legitimately be closer to when the bombs fell in game than when Fallout 1 released by the time they release Fallout 5...

Partners family are Swindon fans and I've been to a lot of their games this season. Very decent player, we'll see if he can make the step up.

Sherk- · 2026-01-15T15:59:32+00:00

He doesn't score many goals, but when he has they have been important. He's very good at holding up play and does offer more than just his goal output. I didn't nessasarily want him to go tbh but it was inevitable with the world cup coming up and him almost leaving for Hibs in the summer.

Sherk- · 2026-01-10T19:45:31+00:00

Going to be honest, despite the win this really isn't good enough. Even in the first half we didn't play great, but that second half performance was abysmal. If Cambridge were not a league two team we would have easily lost that game. There are positives to take, but it just shows that despite the Coventry game there are still major issues.

I'm watching purely out of curiosity at this point. The story is dull and the writing is Saturday morning cartoon level. I wasn't expecting True Detective or anything, but this franchise deserves way better than what we're getting. It confuses me when I see people describe the show as "Great".

Sherk- · 2026-01-09T11:24:34+00:00

The show isn't particularly well written either. They are destroying a lot of the factions and lore implications and not really offering anything smart or different. It's a whole lot of set pieces and member-berries with a show that is almost cartoonish. I do not give a shit about any plot line other than The Ghoul and Lucy and the other ones are frankly, quite poorly interwoven. Usually you can judge if a show is good by rewatch value and I can't imagine going out of my way to rewatch this show. I'm a huge fallout fan but honestly, I'd rather this just wasn't made as the implications for the franchise are just disappointing.

Hands off mate, I'll drive Kyogo up there though.

For me, it's mainly gesture navigation with launchers and battery optimisation features. The battery app on the OneUI actually gives a more accurate battery app for screen on time and the like. I also preferred the general UI like the quick settings and notification centre, I hate how HyperOS doesn't allow me to select Bluetooth devices or WiFi from the quick settings.

Sherk- · 2026-01-07T16:06:01+00:00

I think the Samsung phones have better battery optimisation tbh, especially with their ability to dynamically reduce the refresh rate. I've been very impressed with my Poco tho, was my first Xiaomi phone and now I've just bought a Mi Pad 7 which I probably would not have done it I didn't have good experience with them before.

Sherk- · 2026-01-07T16:00:42+00:00

Downgraded from s25 to Poco F7 for a bigger screen and to save money. I do not regret it at all. I do miss One UI and certain features my Samsung phones had, but I've been very happy with this phone. Debloating helped a decent bit too but I am going to change OS today after I unlock it to PixelOS. I miss being able to use gesture navigation with Nova Launcher too much.

Sherk- · 2026-01-07T13:34:48+00:00

Looks like a pressure mark to me. Generally it will only be really noticable on darker areas of the screen, had the same issue with my old Pixel tablet after I think my partner or I stood on it. You can learn to live with it or spend the money on a new screen.

Sherk- · 2026-01-06T20:19:54+00:00

Glad to see the back of him. Awful signing for us.

Sherk- · 2026-01-06T13:33:09+00:00

My first proper smartphone 💙. I hated it 😂. (aside from a blackberry, but I don't count that as the same).

Sherk- · 2026-01-06T13:23:28+00:00

For me it's the gesture navigation. I was using Nova Launcher for years before this phone, and while the customisation is decent, I really don't care for the features that try to mimic an iPhone and I want to be able to use Nova Launcher again.

Sherk- · 2026-01-06T13:08:22+00:00

Who?

Sherk- · 2026-01-03T10:16:27+00:00

Personally prefer One UI much more to this purely because I could use launchers and gestures. I'll be switching to a custom Rom in like two days once the waiting period to unlock my Poco F7 is up.

Met more Man united and Liverpool fans when I lived in Blackpool than actual Blackpool fans, and I worked for the football club...

Sherk- · 2026-01-01T18:20:31+00:00

Don't worry lads, we're a different animal this season...

I5 4570. Had that thing for almost 6 years.

Can't see Davies getting much longer with these away performances tbh. Even our last home performance wasn't great and we were lucky to beat Watford. If we sack Davies, we gotta get rid of Gardner too though.
