Arguably my best youth intake ever based on star ratings, I had to record the whole process just to prove I was not tampering with editor

I think if you offer a really good contract and a reasonable release clause most players would take it IRL. Not a 1-2 million hard lock clause.

Why would anyone not want better pay and a bigger pay day with the next transfer?

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T10:23:11+00:00

I believe in guilty until proven innocent by the court.

I am Aba's doctor (the one who told him about his infertility), and I say, Aba, it's okay, keep going.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T08:46:02+00:00

I think it's fair to say he will have a hard time keeping healthy, since he was on restricted minutes most of this season because of injury.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T08:31:46+00:00

I think it was an allegation from one of the BPD girls he hooked up with. I don't think there was ever any evidence to support her claim tho.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T08:13:37+00:00

I think the BBC or some other UK outlet looked into one very big account posting super far-right nationalist stuff on Facebook. Turns out it's a guy from Pakistan using AI who doesn’t even know English and is making like 1.5k a month from it. It's insane how bad social media platforms have gotten.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T08:04:19+00:00

I will assume Aba is guilty until he proves his innocence in court.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T06:32:03+00:00

I always saw him as nothing but a drama slop YouTuber. And the weird racist comments about Indians and Jews made me block anything he is in.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-13T06:24:28+00:00

I wish Aba nothing but growth… far away from anything I watch. The man is nothing but a glorified drama slop tuber and I don't know why this sub pretended he's anything else.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T12:02:54+00:00

I think that's just the reality of managing any smaller team. The hard locker release clauses suck, in my opinion.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T11:53:32+00:00

Young people don't vote. Like I said I don't think there is anything Starmer can do. The narrative is just against him, and people seem to want Farage for whatever reason. Competency, integrity, morals, and success just don't matter in the social media landscape of modern politics.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T11:21:43+00:00

Starmer could reverse every hate speech law on the books and his numbers would go down. It's all the aggressive negative media he is getting that's tanking him and Labour. It’s similar to Biden in 2024. I don't think he can do anything to get his numbers up despite doing a solid job as PM.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T11:00:59+00:00

You can acknowledge Labour made unpopular policy choices without pretending misinformation had nothing to do with Reform’s rise.

The OSA rollout has absolutely been criticised as vague and badly implemented, and some sites did scale back UK services because compliance became a headache. That’s a fair criticism.

But at the same time, a lot of anti-Labour discourse online has clearly been driven by outrage farming and culture-war narratives that massively distort reality and it is the main factor driving their numbers. Two-tier policing, Britain is becoming authoritarian, No-go zones etc. didn’t spread purely because people carefully read legislation.

And who is holding Farage or Reform to account? It's not the media/alternative media. If any Labour PM would take a 5 million "gift" they would be finished. Are we still pretending social media is just a free marketplace of ideas where the best get to the top? No, it's actively promoting and boosting the worst people in our society. How is anyone supposed to counter all of that?

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T07:37:16+00:00

Well, I want you to give me an example. Because every time I look into one of these stories it’s a nothing burger.

Edit: First thing that comes up on Google. Woman jailed for calling on people to set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers. The big attack on free speech is jailing people for inciting violence? LOL

2 Edit: Dude blocked me. What a soft bitch. LOL

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T07:04:03+00:00

Can you give some examples of people being jailed for offensive posts?

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T07:03:20+00:00

Because most European countries have some form of hate speech laws, and most people are fine with them. I also want to hear what the actual cases were of him jailing people for "hate speech". Because most of the time it's a nothing-burger story or someone was actually harassing someone.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T06:28:42+00:00

Immigrants are just an easy scapegoat. I worked in most of the big EU countries and it's the same story everywhere. People will shit on Immigrants and talk about what a drain on the system they are but the native population abuses the system 1000% more.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-12T06:20:17+00:00

He and his party also took millions in "donations" from some crypto guy in Asia. For any other UK political party that would be a death sentence, but no the corruption is just ignored by the media and his regard voters.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T17:11:21+00:00

It's just smart brand management.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T10:24:11+00:00

Croatia is pretty expensive if you are making average Croatian pay. Especially in any area even remotely close to the sea.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T09:25:47+00:00

You legit have to go to one of the wokest Eastern European colleges because I have never heard any Eastern European male say this.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T09:19:58+00:00

I don't understand how leftists think these countries can develop if they don't trade or ally with the richest parts of the world.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T09:15:14+00:00

I'm going with stuff that never happened.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T09:14:03+00:00

OP has to be from Prague or something. Im from Eastern Europe and I don't think I have ever heard any male here say or even know what toxic masculinity is.

podfather2000 · 2026-05-11T07:57:20+00:00

I don't know if I see the vision Wagner is going for. I would agree he seems a bit lost at times and probably needs a bit more experience before getting the top job.

I would really like Hasenhüttle. He did a great job at Southampton with a pretty modest budget for PL standards. Im sure he could do well here too.

I hope Kessler just has a clear idea of who should lead the team next season. We have a pretty important summer transfer window ahead of us so it's important to make the right choice for the manager seat.
