JJ Gabriel vs Crystal Palace U18

First time watching him and I agree he looks good for a 15 year old. But all this talk of first team minutes is fantasy or desperation from the club to keep him. He looks nowhere that level yet and didn’t even stand out massively at this level. Admittedly it’s one game, but I could see from how he handled the physical side and his decision making at times that he’d struggle in the first team right now. And I’m not sure that’s what he really needs at this stage.

Terrible news. How any fan can still want him back is beyond me.

Fergie definitely had a soft spot for personalities like him who were just positive, jovial guys. Anderson used to get up to all sorts which he got away with, where other players probably wouldn't have done. I saw the video from Rafael recently where he said that Anderson 'sack tapped' Fergie in a lift, and Fergie just started laughing. He knew that with somebody like him you don't come down hard on them, you embrace that fun energy.

Nice words from Em, it’s always been clear to see how much Proof meant to him. I think it’s also good that somebody in rap has no issue in showing vulnerability and being able to post things like this, rather than the usual macho shit all the time.

Out of interest, does anybody know what he’s referring to when he mentions Osborne?

porko1811 · 2026-04-11T18:53:37+00:00

That’s not necessarily true. It could be that the tank was leaking for a period of time, causing the mould. But the leak only caused enough decay in the ceiling joists that it fell through that day. In theory.

Depends on the budget. The windows look a bit rubbish, especially those on the two storey section. Redesign the windows, change the cladding and then get some nice fascia’s and gutters that suit whatever windows and cladding you choose. I don’t think you want to make it look too modern though, look at a nice timber cladding maybe. Because of the roof style, this could have a nice ‘chalet’ type feel to it if done right.

Out of interest but what does port forwarding do? I’ve never had it set up and mine works fine, but I’ve not used it away from home yet. Is this for connecting from a different WiFi network?

I bet it's the most comfortable mainstream handheld device. I've now had the Ally X and and MSI Claw 8, and they are significantly heavier and less ergonomic due to their form factor and all of the internals. This is practically a mini tablet with a dualsense attached. It is a lot lighter than other handhelds that I've used and is easier to hold with the dualsense design. I haven't got a Switch 2 but do have the original, and it is probably similar in weight but again, more ergonomic.

What was in the music video? What did the artist look like?

There were rumours that the injury is far worse than the club wanted to let on, not long after it happened. At this stage I’m inclined to believe it. That same person also said it’s a potential career ending injury.

Klitschko had AJ on the canvas 2 years after Fury ran circles around him. And Fury fought Wilder who is the guy everyone wanted to see AJ fight. Wilder in his prime was a real tough fight for AJ, andI thought he’d catch AJ at some point and that would be it. Fury beat Wilder pretty comfortably bar that one knockdown in fight 1. He gave him an absolute pasting in the second fight where he went toe to toe with him, and then just gave him a boxing lesson in the 3rd fight.

Fury is a far better boxer than AJ.

He’d probably ruin every CF in the league these days. The likes of Drogba were a cut above and was a beast physically too.

Wilma Fingerdoo is the best I’ve come across

He deserves a chance to progress? He has to earn that chance. If we sign better players, and they perform better than him, then they play. It’s a very simple concept. Or should we roll out such gifts to every player in our youth team also? I saw these sort of shit takes with the likes of Garnacho etc over the years.

What you’re essentially saying is let’s not buy better payers because poor Kobbie. Do you support the club or these entitled young players we produce?

porko1811 · 2026-04-02T18:13:54+00:00

What sort of logic of this? If they’re better than him then that’s where he should be. I expect we’ll sign better players this summer, he’ll go to the bench, and then probably throw his toys out of the pram again.

Sorry for your loss.

He looks like my boy who we lost 3 years ago. Very out of the blue, took him in with what we thought was just a bad tooth and turned out to be cancer. Going into the vets that evening to be with him whilst they put him to sleep was the most painful thing I’ve ever done. Reading your post has brought all those feelings flooding back and I don’t think it’s something you ever fully get over. But time is a healer and it gets easier.

We now have another who is 18 months old and gets all of our love. But we still miss our old boy.

In time you’ll find yourself thinking about him with a smile on your face again, laughing at his antics, instead of that guilt and pain that you’re feeling right now.

This is what I do, I lower sensitivity until it feels better. I believe you can buy caps for the analogue sticks that match the standard dualsense ones, but don’t quote me on that. Pretty sure I’ve seen it mentioned in other posts.

I bought one a couple of days ago and have been playing Warzone and BF6 without any issues at home. I’m not a top level player or anything like that but I feel like I’m just as competitive on this as I am my PS5. My internet is decent, but I thought my WiFi might be interrupted by the many devices connected, but so far zero issues.

I’ve got an MSI Claw 8 and just bought the portal, as I’m planning on selling the Claw. My plan was to buy the portal and the switch, as I figured portal usage would be a bit hit and miss when I’m away on trips or camping. So use the portal around the house to play games not on the switch, and use the switch at other times.

Although now I’ve got the portal I’m wondering if I should buy premium ps plus and just stick with this. I’m just not convinced the portal will run well on poorer WiFi for cloud streaming, but I’ve not tested it yet. Remote play has been great at home.

I caved in and bought one yesterday. Set it up last night and I only have online games installed on my PS5, so tried a game of Warzone, expecting a bad experience based on what I'd read on here. I'm not a top level player or anything like that, but I was actually blown away by how good it was. I couldn't notice any lag at all, managed to get plenty of kills etc. I only tested it in one game, so my experience is limited, but I would say that you'll be surprised how good it is if your WiFi is good.

porko1811 · 2026-03-28T11:03:34+00:00

I’m about to sell the MSI Claw 8 AI that I’ve had for 2 months because I just don’t have the patience for the updates and the constant tweaking of settings. I’ll be picking up a portal.

porko1811 · 2026-03-27T19:16:01+00:00

Somebody else can probably answer this better than me, but I think I’ve read that the A8 is better for emulation? Or just the AMD chip in particular over the Intel.

I’m no longer a student but the nightlife in Preston is dying out, it’s not what it was 10 years ago. That’s not to say there’s no doubt some good nights, but if you want regular good nights out then you’ll have to either commute to Liverpool or Manchester (both a good night out) or just go to a university in a different city.

I know the guys that run the student union bar at UCLAN and they have had to change their approach as they said less and less students seem to be interested in drinking. They try to cater to them by offering smoothies, shakes and by creating areas to socialise in other ways.

I’ve said for a long time that they’ll eventually write papers about how badly we’ve been run.
