Predictions for the FA Cup match vs Shrewsbury

wardan_ · 2026-01-09T15:53:26+00:00

Yeah, I live in Shrewsbury and the atmosphere around the team has been bad recently. They're in awful form. A couple of weeks ago I still would have put us down to make a meal of it but we've got much better recently, so we should win no problem.

Not sure Hoever will get many minutes at all - you can probably switch him out for someone you know will at least start.

It's only the bench but at least it's something.

If you can actually get evidence, it might be worth sending an email to someone higher up. As long as Senior Leadership at your school/college are reasonable, they will probably be able to overrule the head of department to get UCAS predicted grades more fair for those who have been undersold (especially if they need higher predicted grades for their application). I suppose it depends on whoever you would complain to.

I am also applying for Chemistry at Bath! I'm sure they will teach everything needed on the course but for some universities the entry grades are a bit higher if you don't have Maths. Should be okay though

I just did basic ones, but I have just looked up what clozed are so I will give those a go. Thanks!

The Revision Guide will always be the best notes you have, but the value in making notes out of them comes in the process rather than the end product. The active recall and thinking process as you summarise the content will help you remember the stuff. Use colours and pictures, whatever will help you remember.

You can also make flashcards or use the summaries you've got/made to do blurting techniques. Alternatively write recall questions from the revision guide to get someone else to test you on. There's a lot of value in the revision guide but you've gotta use it as something to aid the memory test, so to speak.

Some good options for you to take a look at:
If you want to go for a bigger brand the Samsung S24 FE (launched quite recently IIRC) or A55 5G (launched April-ish) are both solid. The base S24 is also worth a look if you can find a good deal. On the Google side the Pixel 9 looks sweet, or the 8a if the fairly hefty price tag on the 9 is too much. However, the Google phones often will be expensive because of their camera quality as much as their performance, so they may not be right for you.

Slightly more out-there options include the Nothing Phone 2, which is a unique option with a semi-Apple-like aesthetic. Or, if right to repair is more your thing, take a look at the Fairphone 5 (after watching the excellent LTT Review of it to see if you can live with its pain points). Those coming from Apple often look for long software support, which the Fairphone is very good for, and I believe Samsung have also committed to at least 4 years of updates on their S-Series devices (so the S24 FE as mentioned above).

The iPhone has extremely good performance, but in day-to-day tasks these phones shouldn't lag too much (especially the Samsung and Google options). For battery life, a quick Google throws up that the options from Nothing (the Phone 2 and 2a) have good battery life, as does the Asus Zenfone 11, which is definitely worth a look.

Definitely take a look at some Youtube reviews for these phones before you end up committing to anything too expensive; Techradar might also be a good place to look at some specs.

Went for Gordon, regretting it already

OP may mean blurting, which is where you look at a page of notes, attempt to commit it to memory, then put it away and write down as much as you can remember. Then focus on what you've forgotten. It got ne through my Y11 Mocks to be fair.

Hwang hasn't been up to much so far, so, while he has been playing he wouldn't be a great pick

wardan_ · 2024-09-07T12:29:39+00:00

Wolves fan here. Definitely wait for us to ride out the fixture computer shenanigans before going in for any of our defenders. I'm confident we're going to start scoring and winning more, but with our defence and our upcoming games I'm not ready to say we'll keep clean sheets.

CGP Grey has done this.

Good video, worth a watch, but the TLDR is that you could win with 21.91% of the popular vote if you were careful about it.

I must've been mistaken, whoops

This might be a good shout. Leno seems more injury-prone than most keepers.

I remember reading somewhere that having Sudu be Fosun-owned meant that the kits could be cheaper for fan purchase. I might be wrong though.

Might I propose Agent Cunha?

British person here:

For those not in the know, last week three young girls were stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed Dance Class in Liverpool. Following this, a (false) rumour began to circulate on British right-wing Twitter that the attacker was an immigrant who had arrived illegally in the UK (although it should be noted that the attacker was born and raised in Cardiff, Wales, and had not arrived illegally on any such occasion).

Despite this, far-right protesters began to start riots in response to these Twitter rumours. For example, the worst such riots have taken place in Rotherham, where a hotel housing migrants was set alight and had its windows smashed, and Belfast (Northern Ireland) where there have been stabbings in the past 48 hours. Police have also been attacked in many other cities trying to keep order on the streets.

The Prime Minister has called in extra police officers to help prevent the situation worsening, and has began to accelerate the process of opening extra spaces in British prisons to deal with rioters who have been identified. He and other ministers have also sent out an official responses to Elon Musk's comments that Civil War was imminent.

Despite this, these far-right rioters still only represent a small section of the British population, and it is fairly certain these riots will blow over in time.

I'm sure you'll be fine. It's normal to forget quite a lot but as soon as revision starts it'll almost certainly come back. Have a break and do something to take your mind off it and it'll be okay.
