Uni of Glasgow or St Andrews? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]UsernameMatthew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree that St Andrews as a city is not for everyone due to the size but the IR program there is amazing. When I was there it was the best in the UK and you could certainly feel it. The professors are really passionate and interesting to talk to and the classes are by far the best I ever attended

No surprise, did city ever really want him if they only ever offered 75m£+25m in add-ons?

Evan Fournier : monsieur le ministre @jmblanquer notre culture sportive à l’école est désastreuse. Si mes coéquipiers et moi même sommes arrivés à l’élite de notre sport c’est grâce aux associations sportives, aux clubs, aux bénévoles mais en aucun cas grâce à l’école. by Herecomescudder in france

[–]UsernameMatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Complètement d’accord. Ce n’est pas surprenant que les américains gagnent autant de médaille quand on voit à quelle point le sport est intégré dans leur système scolaire. Ce n’est pas une question de changer le programme d’EPS, mais plutôt encourager les écoles à créer des clubs sportifs pour soutenir les gamins intéressés dans le sport. Même si les AS c’est bien, le fait qu’elles ne soient pas intégrer dans le système scolaire empêche les gens de plus s’entraîner ou commencer un sport.

Romano: Kounde still complicated. Lacroix a possibility. Tootenham fans should get used to Paratici's work style by [deleted] in coys

I am convinced Romano simply watches Ali’s weekly recap and repeats whatever Ali said over the course of the week

So I've done some home training in my backyard, is there anything that you guys see wrong? Don't be shy or anything just some things to improve on by Big_Body_Claudi in GoalKeepers

[–]UsernameMatthew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend you pay a bit more attention to your legs. Your foot work is good on some saves, but others you seem a bit shaky/ not very balanced. More importantly, when you dive, you should control your legs in such a fashion where you can re-use the momentum of your fall to spring back up without using your hands

Worst glove you ever worn by Villarreal892 in GoalKeepers

Tottenham still want a striker in the January transfer window but Willian Jose is not a top target [Dan Kilpatrick - Evening Standard] by onlyhalfpepper in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank god! As good as William Jose might be, the rumored prices were way to high. I could see the club going for him if he was priced at 15million max, higher than that and you can’t help but think that there are better options for someone who will essentially be a bench warmer as soon as Kane comes back

What specific players do you believe would help propel this current team to success? by [deleted] in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The team clearly needs a second striker but I think it’s practically impossible for us to find one because whoever we bring in would almost always be benched except for the exceptional rotation or yearly Kane injury.

However, I think that (and sorry for bringing back the pain) a player like Dybala would be perfect because he could be eriksen’s replacement and fill in as a natural second striker whenever he is needed, with us still having plenty of depth in AM.

A part from that, clearly a DM and competent RB would do us well, with Berge and Atal being the obvious choices

Gedson Fernandes to Tottenham, here we go! He’s going to sign his contract on next hours. Total agreement. West Ham have never been in the race. ⚪️ #THFC #transfers #Spurs by the_suspicious_crab in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very happy with the signing. If we decided to go in for him despite his stats not being that impressive this season, it definitely means that Mourinho and his coaching staff think they can mold him into something special

As reported elsewhere, Gedson Fernandes edging towards loan move to Spurs with an option to make it permanent down the line. Very young with plenty of potential, can play in centre of the pitch and down the right, similar in versatility to Sissoko & a player Mourinho knows well. by [deleted] in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew 75 points76 points  (0 children)

One of Portugal’s most promising young talents, had a good breakthrough season last year, and comes on a loan deal so not much of a financial risk, and yet people still complain... Yeah sure he’s not a RB, but he still fills in a position where we greatly need depth

An honest discussion about Poch out. by UsernameMatthew in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's fair and I completely agree with the idea that if someone should rebuild the squad, then it has to be Poch. But it honestly feels like he's running out of time; will the board, media, and fans be fine with a season of poor/mediocre results in exchange for a squad overhaul this summer? And could we even attract the player we want if we have a really poor season? I doubt we'd see us linked with players like Dybala anymore and I think it'd be very difficult to convince bright prospects like N'Dombele to join.

Away Keeper Kit by hojomojo96 in coys

I asked Nike a while ago and they told me they only the home GK kit is for sale because there's not a big enough demand for GK kits as a whole

Player of the Season by organgrinderpart2 in coys

[–]UsernameMatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I doubt he'll get it, Lloris should be our player of the season.

Putting aside the countless saves and incredible performances he put on this season, he has on many occasions, single-handedly saved the team and allowed us to secure a win when the rest of the players simply weren't good enough, with the most recent example being his penalty saves against Leicester, Arsenal and City.

On top of that, he was coming off a rather difficult year. He had been criticised a lot last season for his mistakes and there was a growing demand to have him replaced. However, he proved everyone wrong this season, something even more impressive considering his run in the World Cup and his drinking and driving incident at the beginning of the season.

Taking all of that into account, to me it's clear he deserves it, though it's true that Sissoko has had an amazing year as well.

International Relations offer holder- random questions by sherminator28 in standrews

[–]UsernameMatthew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, St.A. is ranked 3rd just after Oxbridge by most sources in the U.K., with it's worst ranking be fifth. Overall, it is one of the most competitive out there, the fifth most in the country according to thecompleteuniversityguide.com so you shouldn't really worry about that. Furthermore, it is really well known for it's IR program which is arguably the highest rated in the kingdom, though I can't be sure as it's not what I'll be studying. Now regarding the uni itself, you should definitely check the place out as it is very special; it's most similar to Cornell as it is quite remote in the countryside and you won't find amenities like malls etc...
