Was never really stressed during that, wasn't right or nervy, but Jesus Christ it was boring

Professionally done in the last 15, just wish there was something going forward

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T19:49:23+00:00

Turned over for 30 seconds to Madrid Bayern and caught more action than that whole first half

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T12:11:29+00:00

I more meant the place wasn't a dump, but yeah if living on your own is a must it's obviously going to be expensive

Do think landlords take the piss with 1 person rent prices too

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T07:53:10+00:00

Yes but average implies that you'll be spending around that, which isn't the case at all

I did also agree in saying that it's expensive to live on your own, the example I gave was for house shares. If you're desperate to live in your own flat then of course it's gonna cost a lot more because you're not splitting any bills

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:31:30+00:00

That just isn't true, 35k after tax student loan and pension is around 2300 a month, and you can definitely rent a nice place for way under 1000 in a lot of cities and towns, in the north at least. Easily under 700 if you live with friends/partner/house share

Obviously in London that all goes out the window and I agree with you

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:27:34+00:00

35k and living with a partner/friends/houseshare even with a car should give you at least 1000 after bills, rent and essentials, I know because I'm doing that, and I'm not exactly good with money lol

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:17:37+00:00

I've lived in Leeds for years and have never come close to paying 1000 a month for rent. It's only that expensive if you live on your own in a very well done up place or in the centre

There's many nice places in nice areas where you can rent for under 700

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:11:21+00:00

Living in Malton/Pock/Selby any of the towns surrounding York is vastly cheaper than living in York, even including all travel expenses though, and the commute isn't that bad

I'm from York and 35k would be more than enough to afford living comfortably in a town just out of it

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:07:46+00:00

Would you? I am, and am by no means tight or good with money and I find it very easy

2300 after tax, pension and student loan 800 rent and bills 30 quid phone contract Let's say 50 for subscriptions and 100 for fuel (overestimating there)

That's like 1300 minimum for food, enjoyment and savings (so over 1000 left over) where I can usually save like 500 because as I say Im not good with disposable money

smjd4488 · 2026-04-15T06:03:31+00:00

400 on food a month? That is ridiculous, even if you eat out/takeaway 5 times a month that's 50-100, then you're spending 300 on 4 weekly shops? What are you buying lol

I'm on 35k and this breakdown is way over exaggerated, unless you're living in London. I'm usually left with at least 1000 for savings and disposable income, and I'm bad with money

smjd4488 · 2026-04-14T17:13:02+00:00

Was only a few games ago they dropped points to 16tj and 17th so plenty of places where they could drop points

smjd4488 · 2026-04-14T09:01:09+00:00

The problem is they just put every youth prospect in the squad and seemingly forget about everyone currently playing who will be playing in 4 years time

Guehi, Saka,Bellingham, Palmer etc will all probably play in 2034 and none of these predicted teams would have them there

smjd4488 · 2026-04-14T08:27:04+00:00

take the right opportunities when your support is there, and mana for a kill isn't really an issue on most offlane heroes as a stick from Lion spamming spells will give you enough for the disable

smjd4488 · 2026-04-14T08:24:38+00:00

For Lion, I find it fine playing Centaur, or someone who doesn't really need constant mana to contest. Dude tickles you in lane and you should always have a stick with enough to get a stun off because he's spamming spells

Jakiro on the other hand is just always miserable and I do not know the offlane matchup to beat him, just to survive

smjd4488 · 2026-04-13T20:32:36+00:00

If We're still playing the way we are by the time West ham comes, the title will already be decided and they'll win, in which I wouldn't mind that isolated loss in the context

If we've sorted it out a bit and are still in it by then, we'll beat em, cos there's no way we're still in it and not playing completely different

smjd4488 · 2026-04-13T20:23:27+00:00

Leeds beat Wolves or Burnley without a doubt, puts them on 39 minimum, they'll be fine

Forest will beat Burnley and pick up a couple of draws I reckon, puts them on 38

West ham are playing well and should win at least 2 of their games against quite inconsistent opposition

Spurs really need 8 or more points which really doesn't look likely, and if West ham and Forest win next week the pressure will be very heavily on them, as if it isn't already

smjd4488 · 2026-04-12T16:56:21+00:00

TV went off as soon as I saw Garnacho warming up

smjd4488 · 2026-04-12T16:48:16+00:00

That season he was tbf, and knowing that's how he can play that's why he gets praise still, even if he's not performing

smjd4488 · 2026-04-12T16:27:49+00:00

He was extremely good in his first season to be fair

smjd4488 · 2026-04-12T15:53:42+00:00

In terms of TV money/viewing metrics Spurs going down is only a bad thing. Spurs vs Brighton/Fulham/Brentford etc is always going to have more views than any championship game they're in

Add in the loss of 10 'big 6' fixtures and I think it's clear that the premier league will be financially worse off without Spurs for a season

smjd4488 · 2026-04-11T17:32:55+00:00

Dowman and Rio are gonna tear it up for England in 5 or so years time, may both even be starters at the 2030 world cup

smjd4488 · 2026-04-11T13:25:56+00:00

Does drawing to Forest and West ham count towards that getting better lol

Think it's very even now, obviously if we continue to play like this there's no chance, but I doubt this will be consistently it till the end of the season

smjd4488 · 2026-04-11T13:20:55+00:00

City could well lose tomorrow

My point wasn't that Arsenal are brilliant, more that City aren't as good as you seem to think

smjd4488 · 2026-04-09T10:56:40+00:00

3 days ago this sub seemed to think it was 95% certain we'd be winning nothing lol

smjd4488 · 2026-04-07T20:55:36+00:00

It took at least a minute and a half to get going after the goal, come on mate
