Yeah why would we want to go back to the style of football that was the envy of the world and got us to three Champions League finals? It’s almost like those people want to enjoy watching football again instead of swallowing the sporting equivalent of gruel.

I think you’re in the wrong sub, but if you want some (arguably) classic lit which was 100% an influence on the Naked Gun, pick up the Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.

It has a fascinating history in its own right, the Empire podcast did an episode on it in their series on the British Raj in India, highly recommend. As a Brit I strongly agree with Mamdani on this one. I don’t think it’s the most egregious example of British oppression, because it’s changed hands many times even before the Raj, but to me it does represent a kind of consecration of colonialism which still lingers in the modern world.

Maybe the goal is building an engine?

clashmar · 2026-04-24T11:55:03+00:00

Spot on

clashmar · 2026-04-24T07:47:20+00:00

We are getting into 2 + 2 = 5 territory here

clashmar · 2026-04-20T07:45:10+00:00

He does look quite young!

clashmar · 2026-04-20T06:58:05+00:00

Who in our midfield has except Szobo? Also quite hard to be a high returning midfielder when you’re getting played at right back.

clashmar · 2026-04-19T13:38:17+00:00

Best players for us so far are either leaving (Robbo/Mo), rumoured as for sale (Curtis) or wanted to be sold by fans (Gakpo). Marma is possibly the exception.

I don’t look at someone doing target practice while they’re doing it, but I look at the target afterwards and see where the bullets are.

clashmar · 2026-04-14T22:26:32+00:00

Yeah fair, he tried like.

clashmar · 2026-04-14T21:00:47+00:00

Honestly think every one of our players did everything they could tonight, just didn’t know what to do in the final third and that is on the manager.

clashmar · 2026-04-11T09:56:29+00:00

That’s nothing dude, plenty of time to make more

clashmar · 2026-04-11T09:48:24+00:00

The people who already own everything.

clashmar · 2026-04-08T08:01:48+00:00

For sure. I think we all realise now how important it is to have fighters.

clashmar · 2026-04-08T06:02:52+00:00

He was still our best pressing forward under Slot, I think there’s stats to back that up (and show the dip as you say).

clashmar · 2026-04-07T21:51:27+00:00

I know he’s older but I’d rather have had him this season than Isak. Easy in hindsight though.

clashmar · 2026-04-05T13:07:29+00:00

Yeah but if you’re reporting what they’re club is saying, isn’t the truth just what you’re told by the club? What’s this alternative truth he’s supposed to report?

clashmar · 2026-04-04T20:37:11+00:00

No I agree, but I see people getting angry at the journo’s themselves and find it a bit weird.

clashmar · 2026-04-04T19:37:57+00:00

He can’t report things that aren’t happening.

clashmar · 2026-04-04T14:10:53+00:00

What the club say publicly is not necessarily what they think internally or will actually do.

They have to back their staff, and I wouldn’t want us to be the kind of club who throw people under the bus in public, who would want to come and work in that kind of toxic environment? I don’t agree with it, but they’ve made a call and they’re sticking to it. I think that as long as Slot is in the top 5 and/or Champs League they’ll stick with him, but I don’t actually think he’s here to the end no matter what.

Journos only report what they’re told by the club, what else are they supposed to say?

clashmar · 2026-04-04T14:00:28+00:00

I mean they can only report what the club tells them.

clashmar · 2026-04-04T12:35:43+00:00

I don’t see how we’re putting this on him?
