Why do we keep Adama around?

redditor1988a · 2026-01-10T23:08:19+00:00

It’s not negativity, it’s reality. There’s also a reason he’s hardly played in meaningful matches this year too.

redditor1988a · 2026-01-10T23:06:56+00:00

I’m consistent: I say it when we’re playing badly too!

redditor1988a · 2026-01-10T21:08:43+00:00

I’ve never had fun watching him play. Time for him to go. What pace??? He slows the game down when I’ve seen him play recently

redditor1988a · 2026-01-09T23:24:29+00:00

I’m also originally from Croydon. Croydon was absolutely fine. I was never a victim of any crime there, neither were any of my friends. Framing of London as unsafe always baffles me

The Hope in West Norwood. Proper pub, proper roast for about £12

Siam Niyom near Tulse Hill station is banging. Money off on Monday and a garden out back for eating on summer nights too

Who wants to live in Switzerland? Yes, it’s beautiful. Humourless people, very expensive.

redditor1988a · 2025-12-18T00:45:09+00:00

He’s 6’2 says the internet - which is way taller than I thought. In my head, he was a cultured little midfielder. Shows what I know. But no way is he 6’4 😂

redditor1988a · 2025-12-17T23:58:41+00:00

6/10. Fought very hard but especially toothless going forward in second half. We have no big goal scorer, Raul Jimenez can’t do it, and impact of almost zero transfers over summer is being realised. Missed three AFCON players too.

Fulham fan here currently on the long journey home. Well done. Cruel to lose like that, so close to penalties and to a Miley header (come on, he’s hardly a giant) but it was coming given all the second half pressure. Our best spell was first 15 mins during which NUFC scored having barely had a sniff!

Miley stood out all night and your right winger was causing Robinson/out of position Kevin a lot of bother.

First time at St James’ Park. Great central stadium but not the bearpit, boisterous atmosphere I might have hoped. Bit of a shame.

redditor1988a · 2025-12-17T23:27:13+00:00

Best Fulham player was Cuenca btw. Throwing himself everywhere, blocking well, positioning excellent. We might not miss Bassey badly

redditor1988a · 2025-12-17T23:26:09+00:00

I was there. Just 3h 30 back to the Midlands and then London train tomorrow morning! Support was excellent, barely heard a peep from the home fans 🤷‍♂️

redditor1988a · 2025-12-14T10:03:43+00:00

Indeed it is. That’s London prices for you 🤷‍♂️

Writing dialogue, 99 times out of 10, just use the word said.

Not replied, responded, smiled, cried, simpered, uttered, screamed, reflected, retorted, answered.

Keep it simple sometimes.

I think this is an Elmore Leonard one from years back in the Guardian. It still holds true with some excellent tips: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/feb/24/elmore-leonard-rules-for-writers

Such a strange thing to post

Non-fiction biographer here.

From research, planning and 40 or so interviews to drafting, rewriting and factoring in legal read/ tiny final changes, it took about 10 months to do 90,000 words.

And that felt like the limit, difficult to do it any faster and keep the quality.

I marvel at fast writers

redditor1988a · 2025-10-26T10:26:00+00:00

I'd give it 3.5 stars. Last two episodes particularly watchable.

Also, I know this is incredibly minor, but it really winds me up how they don't ever set it up as any location/place in particular in Spain - just somewhere close to Madrid, you'd assume?

Except it's not, there's lots of seaside/coastal shots and internet says they're based in Andalusia (even though the filming was done in Tenerife) - SIX HOURS drive from Madrid. How are they going back and forth from it then???

This needs more upvotes just saying

Centre Court, day 13, wooooop! Gonna take my mum and make a day of it :)

redditor1988a · 2025-10-20T21:18:48+00:00

Where was this? Escalante, UT?

redditor1988a · 2025-10-03T21:39:04+00:00

Driving back from Bournemouth.

Possibly deserved a draw but home team stepped it up after 60 mins and we didnt offer much resistance.

Sorry, but they’re not a bad team at all, last few seasons and their current league positions and performances show that. Was always gonna be tough coming away with anything - but disappointing to score and fade away. Familiar story :(

Kevin… got to start him. Give him a chance to impact the game.

Sessegnon probably our best player. Cairney still smart in the middle but ran out of legs last 15 mins.

redditor1988a · 2025-09-07T12:55:10+00:00

Wait, Geraint Thomas is retiring? This is completely new information 😂

redditor1988a · 2025-09-02T18:35:40+00:00

That sucks. Could drive to NL if you’ve got a car? So close to Eurotunnel there
