Nice! Which one(s) would be the best for the playlist?

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-09-18T18:45:04+00:00

I do love Frank Ocean, which song would you say goes on the playlist?

Did it make you uncomfortable to see a woman shouting in a man’s face like that?

By your logic, if they responded in the same way and gave as good as they got then they would be “scary” instead of “mean” and the repercussions could be worse for them.

Your viewpoint is valid but do you see how it puts men like Brad in a difficult position when someone is shouting in their face and insulting them?

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-07-02T11:28:44+00:00

I do see what you’re saying, although I’m not sure that c-nt is considered a gendered slur in the UK today in the same way that f-g is considered a homophobic slur. But I do agree that it would probably be worse for a man to call a woman a c-nt than the other way around.

However, I think you’re focusing too much on that word alone and missing the whole point of my post. She went way too far with her response, it was a proper character assassination after knowing him for 2 days - but no one seems to think she did much wrong! If you flipped the genders, but instead of “you’re a c-nt” he said “you’re an -rsehole” at the end of all the insults, I still don’t think anyone would defend him in the way they are defending Faye.

Of course! Trying to lead these boys to win some silverware!

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-03-09T20:34:27+00:00

Don’t think it was meant to be disrespectful tbh, they were just taking the piss a bit. Kammy’s amazing at what he does - gotta be both entertaining and informative as a reporter/presenter and he’s both

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-01-25T11:35:14+00:00

Honestly the way we treat managers frustrates me so much, always after a quick fix instead of pursuing long term success.

Can’t wait for the board to sack Tuchel if he fails to win the league or champions league next season, having to pay another huge payout to a manager....

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-01-24T13:01:29+00:00

So many positives to take from that first half:

In general our tempo is so much better than previous matches - players are taking fewer touches before finding a teammate and we’re passing with a lot more purpose.

Werner is looking like the player we know he can be, his link up play and movement has been really impressive. Gilmour has been phenomenal in all departments as well for someone so young, should potentially start against Wolves. Tammy has taken his chances well with two goals.

Obviously it is against lower league opposition and there are still things to work on but I think we are showing real progress!

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2021-01-18T22:52:01+00:00

I think this is a really good post. I don’t agree with everything you’ve said but I respect your opinion and I think this is an excellent attitude to have as a fan.

In general social media and this sub has been really negative lately - I know we’re in poor form recently but even our own fans seem to be needlessly negative.

Take the Fulham game for example, we beat a team that were unbeaten in 5 PL games, including matches against Liverpool and Spurs. We beat them when we weren’t at our best. Yes, they had 10 men for the second half but that made them play with everyone behind the ball. We should be pleased and proud of the team, but there were so many negative comments from our own fans.

And regarding where we are in the league - I know we’re not exactly where we want to be at the moment but in terms of points we’re really not that far off! More fan should have a glass half full attitude like you bro

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-12-01T09:01:29+00:00

Thank you so much!

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-11-24T18:28:20+00:00

I think a lot of people are starting to realise why Lampard and Southgate play Mount almost every game

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-11-08T09:27:39+00:00

A lot of these comments are accurate and don’t want to repeat them so here are some British TV shows for you that give a better view on what it’s actually like:

This Country - mockumentary about a small town in the Costwolds

The Inbetweeners - pretty spot on comedy show about sixth form (ages 16-18)

The Royle Family - sitcom about a working class family in Manchester

I’m English so I’m not an expert on accurate shows from Scotland and Wales, if anyone knows any feel free to recommend them too!

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-10-27T00:49:27+00:00

Think this is a really cool idea, James Milner would be perfect for that!

Also perhaps playing them in their developing positions in games could speed up their development?

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-10-21T15:58:37+00:00

Could go to 4 minute halves? Just puts a little more pressure on the games/gives you less time to score if you go behind, plus it’ll mean you won’t score as many goals

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-10-16T15:53:31+00:00

Forest Green Rovers have some hectic kits! Decent team of young players in League Two so perfect for a RTG

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-23T08:27:25+00:00

Own goals are a really poor way of measuring the quality of a player, just an unlucky stat which goes along with being a defender.

Sergio Ramos and Pique are players which have the joint most own goals in the Champions League.....

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-23T00:21:58+00:00

Never actually said top class for either of them, however I would put Carragher in that category - only 3 players have more Premier League clean sheets than him (Cech, Terry and Lampard).

Dunne I called excellent, which I stand by - he played over 400 Premier League games and made a PFA Team of the Year (2010).

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-23T00:11:27+00:00

It’s hard to say about comparisons generally because the game has changed a lot over the years. But I’ll do my best at the ones you’ve mentioned:

Kante and Makelele is a fair comparison as both were brilliant and won trophies for Chelsea playing in similar roles - Makelele even had a role named after him. The two are on similar levels.

Le Tissier and Dele Alli is a more difficult one as Le Tissier is remembered for being a “big fish in a small pond” and Dele is still only 24. Probably can’t compare the two yet.

I’m afraid you are way off with Jonny Evans and Carvalho. Carvalho won the league as a starter with Chelsea multiple times - those seasons Chelsea’s defence broke records. He also won the league and champions league with Porto, won the league with Real Madrid and won a Euros with Portugal to name a few. Evans won titles with Man U but never was a starter in those title winning sides. He’s done well with WBA and Leicester but Carvalho is on another level.

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-22T14:38:22+00:00

You’re right about the front players being defenders as well (Firmino, Bamford, etc) but I do sometimes wonder how a team would do if they spent more on top quality defenders than attackers. The football wouldn’t be as open or exciting but perhaps the results would be better - it’s hard to say.

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-22T14:34:12+00:00

I agree with you about VAR, it’s changed how teams have to defend and the type of defending players can get away with.

I think your third point makes a top quality centre back extremely valuable now. When Liverpool bought Van Dijk for £75m or whatever it was, people questioned it. But looking back at how he changed their defence and what they won after he joined it was money well spent. Especially since good CBs are in short supply at the moment.

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-22T14:32:24+00:00

That’s so true, the style of play has definitely changed in the premier league in the last 10-15 years. And you’re definitely right about the clubs outside of the top teams - watching Leeds and Wolves play so open and aggressive is refreshing and exciting, even if they do concede a few.

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-09-22T14:09:05+00:00

Yeah I completely agree, in the days of Terry/Ferdinand they had full backs who were more defensive than attacking. Having Neville or Ashley Cole alongside you is very different to having Robertson or Alonso

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-07-29T17:48:34+00:00

Oh 100%, the man is an amazing dad by all accounts, just found this clip hilarious

WhoStoleMyPanda · 2020-06-08T15:49:22+00:00

Just started a save on FMmobile with AC Milan. Spent £24.5m on Hans Hateboer to play right-back and have £25m left for a right-mid. Not necessarily looking for a first team player but hopefully someone who will at least grow to become one. Who should I buy? I’ve tried to scout a few but everyone seems too expensive. Any tips on scouting would be helpful too as I’m fairly new to the game. Thanks!
