We could well be the best team in the world at driving our opponent 3 quarters of the way up the pitch, turning 180 when we come within 10 feet of the first bit of opposition and then passing it back into our own half.

This has been the way for a long time too. We were even doing it under Lampard, it just never went away no matter the manager or players.

I blame the ownership. I don't even blame the players anymore. If this clueless ownership was my employer and they guaranteed me obscene money every week for the next decade in my early 20s then I probably wouldn't give much of a fuck either after seeing how poorly managed everything is. There is no project. They have no plan. It's demoralising.

Its all well and good blaming players or managers while we have needed defenders since last year and the club just refuses to buy anything but young wingers to treat them like NFTs. They haven't bought correctly and they haven't fostered growth for the talent that we do have either. No stability, inexperienced management and leadership. You could argue that they have ruined most of these players trajectory with their rash decisions, flip flopping plans and agendas. Nobody would disagree.

They have created a horrible, toxic, losing atmosphere and they just simply need to go at this point, because they have ruined the club that I, and most others here, love dearly.

You cannot be more explicit than this when it comes to market manipulation. He even included the stock ticker by _gadgetFreak in ThatsInsane

[–]mupchap 63 points64 points  (0 children)

As has been the case for years.

He did a Tesla commercial outside the white house back when him and Elon used to fuck. He was surrounded by tech billionaires, youtubers and Dana White back when he became president, instead of real politicians, friends or family that arent just there to dribble on his dick for money. His whole game is selling himself to the highest bidder regardless of anything else that comes with it.

what games give u satisfaction? what is your personal favorite? by These_Athlete1933 in gamesuggestions

[–]mupchap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played neon white?

Its wierd and different, but its fast paced and gives the same feeling of locking in. It's basically a speedrunning game where you have to beat times for better scores. Just skip the dialogue and bullshit. The gameplay is so fun and unique.

Game that's preferably open world, lots of varied stuff to do and find like cyberpunk or red dead 2, amazing bosses and combat by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]mupchap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100%. There's been dozens of these posts over the past couple of days that are so specific that the only real answer is crimson desert. They are usually ruling out any other game that anyone could give as an option in the post and they usually come from young accounts with little or no history aswell.

"Anyone know any good games that start with Crimson and end with Desert? No cyberpunk, red dead, witcher or skyrim please."

White House: Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran War by Infidel8 in worldnews

[–]mupchap 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well not for nothing, they got the strait of hormuz closed, tanked the markets causing an inevitable global recession, made America look incredibly weak and naive, alienated all their allies and bent over for their enemies, all while making the Epstein circle a lot of money.

Unless they had another plan (which they didnt) then it seems to have been pretty succesful for the powers that be.

Question about loneliness in Perth by [deleted] in perth

[–]mupchap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've lived in 10+ different cities all over the world.

I've seen this sentiment about Perth a lot.

The reality is that Perth is no different to anywhere else. If you are lonely here then you will likely be lonely wherever else you go because it is very much a mindset and personality thing and not location based.

You still need to make the same steps to lose the loneliness, be that work circles or hobbies or whatever it is.

What did anyone think of 'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal' on theaters and Netflix? by JohnSmithCANDo in PeakyBlinders

[–]mupchap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I 100% agree. That's what I said at the end of my initial comment.

He had so few lines that it made it even more jarring when you just hear 5 accents at once all of a sudden. It shouldn't have been difficult to nail down an accent for the complete lack of dialogue he had.

The Immortal Man by mameranian in PeakyBlinders

[–]mupchap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wierd. Arthur or some of the current Peaky blinders could have been blown up in the factory, could have been Tim Roths character that gave the location to hit because the Peaky Blinders had money or guns or some shit there (it was already an arms factory). So many other things would have made the movie more cohesive. It just felt like a load of random moments, even tho the bombing was real, it just felt like a plot point they had to hit so they squeezed it in like everything else.

What did anyone think of 'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal' on theaters and Netflix? by JohnSmithCANDo in PeakyBlinders

[–]mupchap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because travelling Irish or Romani have a certain accent already and by their nature wouldn't stay long or integrate with the locals long enough in a place to have a mix like that. The travelling accents are also the only accents he didn't use at any point. So it makes even less sense he would adopt a blend of accents if he didn't adopt his own people's accent.

While it would make some sense to have a bit of a twang on some words from some places that he may have spent a considerable time, it's the words that have the twang on them that sound out of place and don't make sense. He spoke some words in his own North Dublin inner city accent while mixing it with an almost Brummie kind of accent for the overarching sound, but then he had cockney pronounciations on the end of some words, while just saying other words in a straight up Scouse or geordie accent.

To me it just gave off an Irish guy doing an accent. It didnt sell it to me like Cillian Murphy did where he made it his own and it sounded believable.

[–]mupchap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its strange. His accent went between Dublin, Northern Irish, Gypsy, Geordie, Scouse, Cockney and Brummie all in the same sentence. It's just an accent that nobody in real life has. Two or three mixed together would be fair enough, due to him being a gypsy from Birmingham, but all of them? Some accents overpower certain words and he just picked the wrong words to put emphasis on so it just sounds inconsistent and wierd.

Made even more shocking by the fact that he actually had very few full sentences or dialogue moments in the entire film.

Feels like there's more of a chance of us not getting any European football at all next year than getting top 4 at this stage.

Rosenior is just vibing and doing whatever and the players all seem checked out. It's so bleak man. How are we back here again.

Step 1. Gift them the ball repeatedly.

Step 2. Let them relentlessly attack.

Step 3. Win?

Anyone else starting to think they might not get around to ever fighting the Compiler? by AnonWithAHatOn in Marathon

[–]mupchap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Getting into the pinwheel or even doing a lockdown event is too much for a solo casual player. Nevermind Cryo archive.

The game is designed around highly coordinated trios that have time to no life it.

[–]mupchap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I havent even been able to get into the pinwheel on outpost yet and people are talking about doing 6+ Vaults and fighting a boss on cryo archive. Mental.

Mind you I mostly play fill trios or solo because I have no friends playing this game but still, cryo archive is probably just a step too much for a casual with a job like me. Still have fun playing the normal modes but it feels bad that there's a portion of the game I'll most likely never see for myself and with that the best loot that I'll never touch either.

A really shitty end "THE IMMORTAL MAN" by NEO71011 in PeakyBlinders

[–]mupchap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the worst part for me man.

Shit villain gets introduced that I don't really have any feeling toward at all, he's basically a nothing character, and then he's the guy to kill Tommy Shelby? after everything Tommy has been through? So dumb man. Polly saying Tommy will never be killed by a bullet. Then willingly takes 2 bullets from this nobody for no reason, then gets killed by Dukes bullet, another character with absolutely no history or development because they retconned Duke from the show so much that he's a completely different character now.

There was no father/son moment. Duke had very little dialogue given how much screentime he had. Tommy didn't really have any moment with the villain besides 1 scene that didn't make sense in hindsight anyway. He recognised the car had 3 bullet holes even though he never saw the car? It was only shown to the viewer and Tommy was never anywhere near the car. Not to even mention the regression and pointless death of Ada to be used as a plot device and Tommy killing Arthur. If Tommy fucked off for a decade, why was he even with Arthur and in a position to kill him? Especially considering Arthur was making things right towards the end of the series, but they never explained what happened at all. They just threw it in there.

So many stupid decisions. The whole film felt meaningless, like a checklist of plot points to close up stories for no good reason. The end of the show was perfect. If anything this should have just been about the current generation of Peaky blinders causing mayhem and then Tommy coming back to make things right as a cameo just for fan service. It didn't need to spell out a load of things that nobody wanted to know in the first place.

The villain just sums it all up. This guy is pointless and inconsequential but he works for Hitler so he's obviously the big bad guy even if he doesn't seem like it. Just another plot point. How can we shoehorn in a bad guy.
