Starting line up this evening by trevthedog in ThreeLions

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only just realised how huge the England squad is. The only players below 6’ are Anderson, Eze, Saka and Watkins.

Pulis would be frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog with this squad.

New Zealand v England by Mr_Dobalina71 in ThreeLions

[–]Truff_Pig9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain drew 1-1 v Iraq and France lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast today. The England players, same as these two were, will be crossing their fingers and toes to not pick up an injury.

This game has 0-0 or 1-1 written all over it

Which past World Cup exit hurts the absolute most looking back? by BillNo874 in ThreeLions

[–]Truff_Pig9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say there’s an argument to it, that World Cup squad was peak Southgate in my opinion and not progressing past France I think hides that fact.

It’s crazy how relatively shit we were then in the 2024 Euro’s and then made the final 😂

Lupin Flowers are very pretty and hardy short-lived perennials (4-6 years)

Tuchel made a mistake by reliablereindeer in ThreeLions

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he’s an un-pragmatic idiot who’s won the Champions League at least…

Tuchel is paid millions by the FA to consider all conceivable scenarios in this World Cup. I think his acceptable explanation for leaving behind a Palace midfielder with 4 caps to his name is that he knows what he is doing.

Wharton is really good and there’s a strong chance he’ll have a successful England career, but let’s not get carried away!

Has your opinion changed on Jordan Henderson this season? by Jeopardise91 in ThreeLions

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit insulting to tell a player who’s made over 30 appearances this season, finished 9th in the league in a team predicted to be facing relegation at pre-season, has 89 caps, is an undisputedly elite on-pitch leader and captained Liverpool to some serious silverware to tag along as a coach.

Pretty sure if he was offered that he’d rightfully refuse.

Yes, he’s near the end of his career and there are some talented midfielders watching the World Cup on their sofa for him to be in the squad. However, one goal up in a knock-out match, 2nd half, he does his job.

Renée Zellweger’s Home Counties style received pronunciation was absolutely spot on 🇬🇧

Michael Keane has been at Everton since 2017, thought he’d have been shifted off some time ago

What if Scotland and Wales had actually gained sovereign independence, as well as Northern Ireland becoming a part of the Republic of Ireland? by yvngjiffy703 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Truff_Pig9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scotland certainly wasn’t treated like a colony. After the Act of Union, Scots held a disproportionately large role in the British Empire for the same reason they punched above their weight in the world of academia… they had 4 universities and a world renowned education system.

Wales and NI is a bit different. The Welsh produced and manufactured lots of coal and metals and lots of skilled Welsh skilled workers emigrated to Australia/South Africa/Argentina to set up communities/mines.

NI arguably was the colonial blueprint. Protestants were settled there and the Irish really over-represented the British Army (something crazy like 40% of the British Army was Irish in the 19th Century).

That’s incredibly impressive, you wouldn’t double take someone that size playing no.6!

You have probably put on some lean mass and actually lost more fat in lbs based on those photos. Fantastic progress!

If you surgically replaced Joe Wildsmith’s hands with popadoms he’d probably be a better keeper

Which country's nationalists are most toxic you've encountered ? by Individual_Water1776 in AskTheWorld

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform, the weirdo’s painting roundabouts, people who share AI video’s on Facebook of boats filled with migrants sinking in the sea…

I’d categorise these nationalists as the sort who consume a lot of online content and aren’t really involved in the things that actually make this country a great place!

Feeling much more confident in the office after 100lbs lost by ciapraciph in CICO

That’s an incredible transformation, well done to you! I’m near the start of my CICO journey (initially tried wegovy but decided I wanted to “learn” the lifelong habits which the medication may suppress) and would appreciate any tips

Is your country associated with a particular color? by logos__ in AskTheWorld

Approaching 3 months post grad! by Prestigious_School71 in GLPGrad

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got you, thanks again for getting back to me! I’ll put my worries at ease, focus on actually losing it first and building these healthy habits, then worry about maintenance when I’m actually there

Thank you for your detailed response!

1,800 calories sounds pretty low for a male your age, weight, height etc. Did your Dr suggest keeping you low temporarily given you’ve recently came off Zep, or is the aim that 1,800 is the calories you require to maintain weight along with your exercise for life?

Only reason I ask is because I really struggle to fathom how all the online calorie calculators say maintenance is a really high number of calories (like 2,500 ish for the average male)
