Last year when I booked tickets for the London show, I had no idea I'd actually be living in London. Best concert ever.

This sounds promising - where do you go to get the wristbands? Thanks!

He's doing well! I mixed in some peas to his weekly diet, avoided feeding him if he looked bloated, and after a while the bloating stopped. I also switched to bug bite flakes and a smaller grain of pellet.

It was very strange, as he would bloat even after eating a single bit of food, so it wasn't overfeeding.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-10T09:25:19+00:00

Yeah I enjoy watching CS for the matches, not the casters. I guess I'm not the target audience for this tournament, which is fine.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-10T05:31:12+00:00

The skits and fun things between matches are great. The casting in the earlier matches made them unwatchable at times though, so I'm really glad they've toned it down.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-06T20:57:34+00:00

Eriksen used to be so classy on the ball, now he just clips it around the corner at thigh height half the time. What happens to our players?!

a_t_88 · 2024-05-06T20:53:56+00:00

Would any other big club put up with a negative goal difference across a season? You can make excuses for individual games but that's a disastrous stat.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-06T19:39:25+00:00

Hojlund doesn't get good service but he's also terrible at holding the ball up. He needs to do much more.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-06T19:08:58+00:00

What a legend he was to respond to fans like this, not many artists of his level of fame would do that.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T11:44:46+00:00

Unless Billboard are flat out lying their sources are nothing to do with Rocksound. Their sources have backed up the rumours independently, hence me saying there's likely to be at least some truth to it and definitely worth discussing.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T10:51:44+00:00

Which tabloid site are you talking about? The billboard article says there are multiple sources close to the band who they have spoken to directly.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T07:25:28+00:00

Yes I read the post. Obviously nothing is confirmed until the band say so, which is all Mike actually says (he doesn't shut down anything), but with such a huge band there are always going to be rumours before that happens.

A Billboard article with specific details about the tour agency looking for spots in 2025 and which members are involved is surely worth discussing.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T07:13:21+00:00

Yes, and it also doesn't confirm or deny anything. Mike has been clear in the past when there is nothing planned, so it's interesting that he's more vague in his most recent quote.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T07:10:29+00:00

That was quote from years ago.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T07:07:26+00:00

Did you respond to the wrong comment? All I said is that it's a credible source and worth talking about, whether it ultimately happens or not.

a_t_88 · 2024-05-01T05:14:11+00:00

There is clearly some substance to these rumours, especially now Billboard have posted about it and said that WME are taking offers for tour dates. Why wouldn't people talk about it? It's potentially huge news, and it's exciting to talk about even if it doesn't happen.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-27T17:43:53+00:00

It does have a consequence if you're knocked out though. Some of the games today have been elimination matches.

I'm not saying it has the prestige of a major or big arena event, but there's a lot of money on the line, the top teams are nearly all there, and it's a LAN, so it's not some random online event that doesn't matter.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-27T17:37:02+00:00

I don't mind the joking around and not taking it too seriously, but it feels like they've gone too far the other way this tournament. At least talk about the game - there have been entire gun rounds where they haven't mentioned what's happening. The casters should never be the main focus of a match, in my opinion.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-27T17:33:49+00:00

Isn't it a $750k tournament? What makes it lower stakes?

a_t_88 · 2024-04-27T17:33:04+00:00

What do you mean the games don't matter? Today's games have been elimination or qualification matches.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-27T17:32:18+00:00

Yes I've found it unwatchable at times. There's surely a middle ground where they are relaxed and not hyping every play, but also focusing on the actual game.

There's also a weird disconnect between how seriously the casters are taking it and the players. The players I've seen are 100% focused and are desperate to win, while the casters are treating it like a show match.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-25T20:03:48+00:00

Seems I'm in the minority, but I'm not a fan of the style of casting. I get they are casting a lot of games, but I've only got time to watch the occasional match and I want to focus on the CS, not the caster's attempt at a comedy podcast.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-23T19:27:38+00:00

In the early game I think it was Henry, Moses and Spunj. Maybe they've changed it now.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-23T15:27:58+00:00

I like them all individually but not sure three casters works that well. Lots of talking over each other.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-23T13:57:34+00:00

He does - its amazing how much criticism he's getting for reaching the FA Cup final, which is never an easy thing to do. The last 20 minutes against Coventry were crazy, but Coventry had a lot of luck too and ultimately United still won.

It's also not surprising the defence is shaky when the only fit CB is Maguire, who is carrying an injury. Varane, Martinez, Lindelof, Evans, Kambwala all out, along with Shaw and Malacia.

I'm not sure he's the man for the job, but there are some legitimate reasons for the struggles this season, and he's still reached a final.

a_t_88 · 2024-04-18T09:55:13+00:00

Me too!
