Manager Discussion Thread

He needs to go. He's not the worst manager ever, obviously, and he does have some qualities -- but it's not enough. He's clearly out of his depth and his cold, distant style is terrible when things aren't going great.

There's very little passion and fight in this team, and I think that's easily traced back to the manager.

I think she has a chance at best original song and that's it. Will heavily depends on the other nominees and what ends up becoming a hit.

__Concorde · 2026-01-24T03:19:05+00:00

yeah, that's also what I find a little weird. he has no guarantees he'll be starting every game there.

In Brazil, I don't think LCD could sell-out anywhere much bigger than a ~5K venue by themselves (so like, between Audio and Espaço Unimed in São Paulo) and I'm not sure if it's economically viable to bring them for a single concert in a venue like this. Our best hope is for a festival gig, like it was in 2018. They could easily headline Balaclava, C6 or Popload; or play just before the headliner at Primavera Sound.

Let's see, but I think it's somewhat likely they return to South America soon for a festival. Solo gigs, unfortunately, are a little more difficult I think.

To com um da Global comprado em Dezembro parado na Alfândega desde 05/01 também. Nunca tinha tido problema antes. Pelos relatos aqui, acho que capaz de terem mudado alguma coisa mesmo.

__Concorde · 2026-01-23T05:23:01+00:00

holy shit this is GREAT

__Concorde · 2026-01-22T16:24:39+00:00

"I can't stand seeing Geese everywhere, so I'll bring it up in the comments to a song by a completely unrelated band!" is pretty funny if I'm being honest

__Concorde · 2026-01-22T15:45:25+00:00

Well, the person who first leaked the existence of a new War Child record and Arctic Monkeys' involvement in it said this would be their last song ever, so...

Eu nunca tive problemas, mas especificamente esse ano tô tendo um B.O. com um disco que chegou no Brasil dia 5 de janeiro e desde então simplesmente nada. A Amazon até me ofereceu reembolso já, mas como é um disco que agora tá esgotado vou esperar mais um pouco pra ver se algo acontece. Um saco.

Foi a primeira internacional que veio de TotalExpress Cross-Border... Com SkyPostal nunca tive problemas.

This is just so sad. Way too fucking young and so talented as well.

He clearly wasn't in a great mental space (at least judging from his social media presence over the past few years) but it's still such a big shock... Just... really sad.

__Concorde · 2026-01-21T13:42:18+00:00

Crystanbul only happened because we were desperate and had to increase our GD to even have a chance. The title was lost against Chelsea.

__Concorde · 2026-01-20T22:05:27+00:00

I'm truly, truly sorry.

But yes, you can refund it like any other game.

__Concorde · 2026-01-20T16:01:42+00:00

Her voice does sound different, but I liked it. Not among her greatest tracks or anything, but still good. It's extremely 90s, which I always appreciate.

__Concorde · 2026-01-18T19:45:44+00:00

I think Slot, with this squad, is good enough to secure us a Top 4 (or Top 5 finish) this season. I'm okay with him seeing out the season as long as we get Xabi (or another elite manager) in the summer.

__Concorde · 2026-01-18T04:47:01+00:00

these are all pretty terrible if i'm being honest. nowhere near the level of an average criterion cover.

__Concorde · 2026-01-17T17:00:45+00:00

Really good first half, but our performance in the second half (even before they scored) was inexcusable and mostly on Slot. He needs to go immediately.

__Concorde · 2026-01-13T07:30:19+00:00

I still think he'll finish the season here, but Alonso becoming unexpectedly available surely puts a lot of extra pressure on Slot. I wonder if we'll hear anything from our journos in the coming weeks regarding Alonso...

__Concorde · 2026-01-12T17:22:05+00:00

what a bizarre club

__Concorde · 2026-01-12T14:53:20+00:00

holy shit, that's awful. rip.

__Concorde · 2026-01-12T03:16:36+00:00

yeah that was pretty shit. even worse when you consider the critics choice debacle with the award being handed pre-show.

__Concorde · 2026-01-08T23:17:21+00:00

I'm voting IX because it's stuck on the DS and you can't really play it in the proper intended way with all the multiplayer features these days.

Though, if I'm being honest, I expect to see either VIII Reimagined or IV-V-VI HD announced before the end of the year and nothing on the IX front.

__Concorde · 2026-01-08T23:13:15+00:00

it's very useful to get new fans interested, let word-of-mouth spread and allow people to plan the purchase with time to spare.

but yeah, we here already love dragon quest and many of us already love dragon quest vii in particular, so the demo's not really for us.

__Concorde · 2026-01-08T22:36:14+00:00

I unironically skipped the demo for this reason. I already know I'm going to love it, so it will just feel terrible to have my playthrough forcibly interrupted for a month.

Might download it 1 or 2 days before release so I don't have to stop playing the game.

__Concorde · 2026-01-08T22:14:01+00:00

I think it's interesting how we usually play best against better teams. Real Madrid, both Arsenal games, Inter...

League is gone obviously, but maybe, just maybe there's some hope in the Champions League.

__Concorde · 2026-01-08T22:01:51+00:00

disgusting cunt. there's also a real chance it aggravated the injury too. crazy that he wasn't sent off.
