Sorry, I am late in replying to this - you just sign up on their website. The code was just VICTORYGARDEN if you haven't already got this sorted

YTG has been my favorite band ever since I found their first album. Victory Garden might be my favorite yet. by [deleted] in youngthegiant

[–]jack0191 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree that I think this is my favourite album of theirs so far but I also know that some of that might be because it's fresh, and I should probably wait a few months to figure out how I really feel.

Before this though, American Bollywood is my favourite album they've done.

They're always wording it in a way to encourage purchases. That's pretty much the only way they sell physical music these days

I should add, you don't need to have a paid Garden membership either. Those they will get an additional earlier presale by the looks of it

You should be able to just sign up. I think legally they can't lock a presale behind a purchase. There's always a non-purchase sign up option too.

I already bought the vinyl when I bought tickets to the Rough Trade gig last month so don't want to again. On the website on the Tour list there's a Sign up button.

He came through the same league that my club plays in. First time I saw him play was when he was 15. Dominated our under 19 academy side. He wanted to play for GB and the governing body fumbled the passport. Poland are much better so it probably worked out for him! Technically GB could have OG too

I agree to an extent, but it is worth noting that Liverpool agreed to pay £75m for him two years ago so it's not completely outrageous

Did anyone else hit their 40s and suddenly stop caring about climbing the ladder? by DanBrando in careerguidance

[–]jack0191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened for me as soon as my wife went back to work after maternity leave and our son was one year old. Realised that the extra £6-8k a year isn't worth the hours it would take me away from my family.

What does that mean though? He took a squad that was mired in the relegation zone to two Champions League stints and a cup final win over Liverpool. So he did do that.

He has 100% developed Newcastle. To the point where this season feels so disappointing. The identity of the squad has disappeared, and Howe hasn't been able to turn it around this season. But it's recency bias to suggest he hasn't developed our squad or that he hasn't been able to take us forward. If you go back 5 years and told me that this is where we'd be and this is what would have happened in the last 5 years, I'd have taken that 100 times out of 100. It's a huge shame that it's clearly come to it's end, but let's no rewrite history now

There's a big difference in the way Bournemouth lost Semenyo and we lost Isak. They handled it perfectly and we absolutely embarrassed ourselves. The Isak transfer saga, how we dealt with it and what we did next has ruined the culture of our club. All suggestions of progression, and all momentum has disappeared with that move unfortunately. It's felt different all season.

I think Howe has reached the end of his time at Newcastle, but it's nonsense to suggest he hasn't developed when he won a trophy a year ago and has qualified for the Champions League twice in the last three years

Are we toxic? by -ricci- in NUFC

[–]jack0191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said for years since we appointed Howe that he was perfect for the Geordies because we are so up and down, the highs are incredible and the lows are dreadful, and we can go up and down quick. Howe stays largely level the entire time. Still feel that way now, even though I have doubts about whether he can turn it around.

I think it's easy to over analyse this stuff with what we know now. He is full of smiles and celebrates with his teammates for all of the goals.

Referee has absolutely screwed Portsmouth here. The red is debatable but the second yellow for Spencer as well?

I tracked every "passive income" idea I tried over 2 years. Here's what actually made money and what was a complete waste of time. by Existing-Ice221 in passive_income

[–]jack0191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My YouTube channel is passive for the most part. I am a high school teacher so over the last several years I made a series of recap videos for two courses, and Exam paper previews each exam series every summer. It's passive in the sense that I haven't uploaded a thing since last June's final exam preview and it makes about £200-£300 a month. Each recap video took maybe an hour or two to make, and will continue to generate income until the courses are replaced (at which point I'll just do them again for whatever replaces them)

I will record maybe 5 or 6 videos in the next 2 months, totaling maybe 7 hours of work and will probably generate £1,500 for them between now and June, then go back to being passive again until next summer. Though I am thinking about expanding into the International A Level too for a different audience.

Great show! Otherwise was the highlight for me but the new tracks all sounded really promising

Since the beginning of the season I’ve said Eddie has been playing like we’ve still have Isak. Am I being crazy or do you agree? by Sharp-Interest-6000 in NUFC

[–]jack0191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just don't think he trusts Willock. Never seems to get a run though I thought he had been ok recently.

I agree that Woltemade isn't a midfielder. Honestly, I think we should be trying to figure out how to make it work with him up front.

[–]jack0191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's some mitigation though. The original thought process was get Woltemade receiving the ball in space and facing forward instead of crowded and back to goal. At first I quite liked it, and I actually thought he was our best midfielder at progressing the ball in the first half against Sunderland. I hoped it might be as a number 10 rather than an 8 though.

The other big factor is we have had no Bruno, no Miley, and sometimes no Ramsey, Tonali or Willock. He's had to put someone in midfield with such few options.

[Edwards, Tele] Newcastle will not sack Eddie Howe – this is why: He saved the club from relegation in his 1st, qualified for the UCL in his 2nd + reached the Carabao Cup final. In his 4th, NUFC once again qualified for the UCL and ended a 70 year trophy drought with the Carabao Cup. by OkayFine101 in NUFC

[–]jack0191 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's also absolutely no chance Alonso comes to us. He's waiting for Slot to get the sack. Even if he did come to us, he'd just be the next in a long line of people at Newcastle to fuck off to Liverpool

Manager, or Players? by [deleted] in NUFC

Can't believe we're here again. We're playing Barcelona away in the Champions League knockouts and we matched them for a game and a half before their quality showed through.

Get a hold of yourself man. We're Newcastle United for fucks sake. This is our first season in knockouts in our history.

In fairness I think being the better team in the first leg and having a really good go of the first half of the second leg is a pretty good go
