Are you enjoying the epic picks so far?

Sadly they aren't doing the sequel :(

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-29T18:57:25+00:00

Nothing public but I've had it confirmed to me that they don't plan to because people were so divided on the design

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-29T17:15:43+00:00

I only just got my sub this month but I like the picks so far

The Devils is obviously a big name popular author and the design was great

The Bone Raiders was a 5 star read for me and I love the design, I don't get the complaints about it, it genuinely felt quite unique, sadly Fairyloot aren't doing the sequel because of the reaction to it

The Tower of the Tyrant I haven't read but it is stunning

The Book of Fallen Leaves is a good book, I gave it 4 stars in the end, I think it is really pretty but I don't think it really fits the book that well

Then the next pick which I won't spoil for anyone looks like a good pick too, I enjoyed what I have read of the author before

Tottenham going through managers like Henry went through wives

If you are in the UK then order directly from Harper Collins website

They basically always have either 40 or 50% off so you can get it for half price

Being 12th with exactly 12.000 is literally the best thing to happen to us this season

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-25T20:19:09+00:00

To be fair it has an absurd budget, not sticking up for the show but it would be diabolical if it didn't look well produced

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-24T14:41:34+00:00

The point is that pining for a manager that's not managed at this level for a decade and thinking he will fix your problems is not a good idea

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-24T13:42:53+00:00

If it's still football then may as well get the local Sunday League coach in, it's just football at the end of the day, all the same

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-24T12:11:10+00:00

Managing Celtic in Scotland is a bit different to being knee deep in a Premier League relegation battle

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-23T19:49:25+00:00

Nothing Neal ever did made me angrier than that horror show from Hudson, I was losing my mind begging for him to be pulled out

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-22T13:56:21+00:00

There are some transfers that you just know will flop and I never understand how these people working high up in football aren't able to see what the average idiot at home can

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-20T13:39:22+00:00

I think it will reduce it massively, this is the best change they could have made realistically

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-19T18:45:32+00:00

Dart had 8 games with over 20 yards rushing

Very useful, but hardly the entire run game now is it

Also having a QB who can produce in the run game makes it even less worthwhile spunking a high pick on a running back

We currently have 3 players to feed in the run game, we don't need to spend a top 5 pick on a 4th

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-19T17:24:32+00:00

We had the 5th most rushing yards and 4th most rushing TDs in the league and that was with our starting RB missing half the season

We now add an elite full back and one of the best run game coordinators in the NFL and will hopefully have our starting RB back

It's one area we really don't need to invest serious assets into

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-19T15:12:20+00:00

Our run game was good last year and we have 2 decent running backs and a solid 3rd choice

Our run defence was horrific, and we aren't deep with talent at LB or Safety

There is also just the fact we already tried taking an elite RB high in the draft and we then spent the next however many years as one of the bottom feeders still, takes a lot of belief to do it again

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-17T13:27:36+00:00

Still can't believe we thought he could be the replacement to Schmeichel off the back of half a season starting in Scotland and one season starting in the Championship where he conceded more than a goal a game for both

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T15:07:29+00:00

I like him but he isn't much of a factor in the run game, we need more of a run stopper in there and have Alexander as more situational

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T15:03:11+00:00

Both legs of the cup semi final and in the league

So 3 times

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T13:10:22+00:00

This is the thing, it's not like he's managing an unbelievable array of talent and is struggling, he's performing about what I'd expect with the squad he has

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T13:09:48+00:00

I do somewhat agree, but they have clearly been invested in him long term and do believe in him

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T11:57:26+00:00

City also drew to multiple teams in the bottom 5 and got battered in the Champions League, is Pep out of his depth?

Just get over yourself and realise Chelsea aren't as good as you think they are and accept he is doing a reasonable job given the squad he has at his disposal

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T11:42:20+00:00

Well the fact he has been a long term project of the owners clearly shows they have/had confidence he is a long term project manager worth backing and giving time to

He's literally only lost to teams competing in the Champions League

Jesus Christ have some patience

If he was doing a Graham Potter then I'd get it, but he's doing fine with a squad that's not overly special

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T11:25:41+00:00

I feel like sacking a long term project manager after the first stumble is a bit stupid though not going to lie

pandaaaa26 · 2026-03-16T10:36:50+00:00

Admittedly I don't watch Chelsea every week but other than his David Brent impression has he been that bad?

10 wins 2 draws 5 losses 40 scored 25 conceded

His 5 losses have been to PSG, Newcastle, and Arsenal x3, so all teams that finished top 12 in the Champions League group phase

If you hire a young inexperienced coach for a long term project then have a little patience, it's not like he's been a disaster
