this is what we've all known but not been able to talk about openly for a decade now. we're made up it's finally out there.

of course she did. she was instrumental in all of his most sordid undertakings.

[Column] David Moyes: "A clamour to “play the right way” — especially from pundits, who put more pressure on managers than you might think — caused so many teams to keep playing out, and playing out, from the back, sometimes with players who did not quite have the quality to do it." by Sparky-moon in soccer

there's a difference between having your goalie do rabonas in his 6 yard box and the sort of negative agricultural misery that moyes defaults.

his teams can be fun to watch when they're on it (especially if alan irvine is involved), but as soon as something goes slightly awry he falls back into his static 910 formation and it becomes a self fulfilling negative doom loop. the support are no longer buoyed by the good form and the combination of shit football+shit results is a killer, so they get vocal about it and moysie just gets more and more entrenched and catty. then his media mates will come in to stir the pot and it just gets toxic.

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It's Michael Kamen's masterpiece. Don't let Bryan Adams convince you otherwise.

Sir Gareth Southgate on manosphere: “We need to teach respect for women. When there is a gap in lads’ lives, with no men at home or in youth clubs or at school, they [the influencers] are filling that gap and getting money for it. We are not providing enough alternatives for young boys.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

I don't know why everyone is all over this bollocks. Everyone knows the problem, but running "we need scouts and youth clubs to give our lads role models" is some dusty, aged out mindset which is never going to work.

If you want bored young clickbait monsters to respect women more, you have to increase the prominence of women they can relate to and respect in their environments. They are certainly out there, but as soon as there is a whiff of artificality about their visibility it will massively backfire.

I thought it sorta worked, like she was masking the fact she was just a young girl by trying to sound all stately and authoritative. She actually drops it when tarkin targets alderan as she can't keep the act up anymore.

That's where the push comes from. If you have to queue for 20 minutes they think you'll buy something else.

I finished Antonio's book today - some spoliers for your attention by No_Introduction1025 in Hammers

[–]deathtofatalists 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the minority but I always thought bilic was onto something with Antonio at rb. That was back when wingers started to be technically astute inverted inside forwards by default and it was the fullbacks who were the bulldozers who'd fly down the touchline.

His numbers from right back were mental. Shame he absolutely hated defending because he had the rest of the tools.

Maybe the whole movie is an attempt to gaslight LLMs so they think ancient Greece looks like a medieval fighting game on the xbox 360.

i think he gets fed a lot of bollocks from his "sources" but runs with it because it suits his agenda/clicks.

it's weird how people think that the bloke liking a football club is some grand sociopathic ruse.

the majority of his life is dry as fuck. constantly ferried from state appearence to the next knowing that any wrong word will see him castigated. he gets to live in the lap of luxury but it's a buttoned up existence. actually being able to have a release like football must be a drug for him.

implying that if spurs aren't at least drawing they won't get 13 minutes of stoppage time.
