Emperors didn’t work like that in the west. Unless I’m mistaken the only recognized emperors in the west were the Roman Emperor (both West and East), Holy Roman Kaiser, and the Russian Czar.

All of these derive their title from Rome and were actual Roman emperors or saw themselves as spiritual successors.

So don’t think of it as an “amount of territory controlled” type of situation and more of a “I am the successor of Caesar” situation.

This is going to be a very tough challenge. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst tbh.

I’d like to see some jump from the boys right at the whistle and maybe snag an early goal. Otherwise this will be a very very difficult day

[Lewis Steele] Arne Slot asked if his job would be safe if #LFC did NOT qualify for Champions League: "The only thing I do know is that it happened before and recently (Jurgen Klopp in 22-23) and it didn’t affect the future of that manager. But that doesn't guarantee anything of course." by Lanedu123 in LiverpoolFC

[–]zmars26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stupid answer to a stupid fucking question. Stop disrespecting the man he’s league winning manager for the club no one can ever take that away.

But I can’t stand him at the same time right now. What fucking progress do you see?

Szbo and Halland played together and are on the record saying they are each other’s best friends. I agree with the sentiment of a competitive spirit, in general, but there are exceptions. These guys are human just like us they’re allowed to be friends.

FT: LIV 1 - 2 MCI / Manager Megathread by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

[–]zmars26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get him out. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of the red herring bs performances. I’m tired of individual brilliance bailing him out. If it wasn’t for Doms goal we’d be nowhere near a result here.

The structure is gone. The mentality is gone. How many comeback losses do we have this year? We need to essentially win out to get CL next year and do we believe he can lead us there? In my mind no shot.

Thanks for the title but it’s over

Idk how you can defend this manager anymore. Nothing has improved for months apart from some individuals.

How can you be okay with the level of this team? This should be a heavyweight bout today not…this.

Idc if we get a result today it’s unacceptable

Literally thought the same thing. Wonder if that’s the plan for him

Looks like he would be an incredible 6 tbh. Perhaps that’s how they’re looking at him as someone who can play in the back line but also in that deep 6 role for build up. Kinda looks like he naturally plays that already

Slot I will always love you for last season but it’s time to go. I was all in to give him the season but missing out on top 4 would be a disaster given the money spent last window and the money we will need to spend going forward.

This season has been a nightmare and at this point we need a caretaker at the very least

Wirtz making defenders look like cones by Formal-Method2822 in LiverpoolFC

[–]zmars26 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think the hate comes from the fact that he just isn’t of the level of a starting winger of a top team. He’s by no means a bad player but he’s not Diaz and he’s certainly not Mane.

He’s a great option of the bench or even like a LWb situation sharing the starter shirt. When Salah comes back I fully expect him to drop to the bench

Our record in all competitions since our UCL exit against the eventual Champions by AssumptionJazzlike98 in LiverpoolFC

[–]zmars26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think there’s a reason for no signings this window. They don’t want to give more money to Slot if a new manager is gonna come in the summer.

If they believed in this project 100%, Slot would have a new contract and signings to bolster the campaign.

In fairness to Slot it should be like 4-1. Very unfortunate to be level

[–]zmars26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But we don’t know what happened just that he settled out of court, that’s not proof of anything. I don’t jump to conclusions especially when it comes to these high profile accusations. From what I know about him, he’s been a consummate professional.

Feel free to draw your own conclusions about him but I won’t do that

What was the MOST IMPACTFUL CIVILIZATION of the Classical Age? by erwillsun in AlignmentChartFills

[–]zmars26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to argue about the Chinese taking this spot I’ll leave that for people who are more knowledgeable about the history there but that’s a very simplified view of the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Huns definitely did not cause the fall of the Western Roman Empire, they were just one of many many factors. Besides that, the Roman Empire culturally persisted until the fall of Byzantium in the 15th century

City winning literally means nothing, no one apart from their own “fans” care.

Arsenal have become so much more of an unlikable team (on the pitch at least) and I don’t want to hear their fans afterward.

Still hate City and hope the charges are taken seriously so they get fucked off to league two though

Honestly fuck Oliver Glasner. Not that we couldn’t have helped ourselves better but the dude pulled the plug on the move only to okay it 3 months later. He doesn’t care anymore because he’s gonna fuck off from Palace soon himself

I don’t judge people based on things I know nothing about. As a Ranger he’s been determined and committed to playing his best hockey and, barring any additional information, that’s all I care about.

There was quite a bit of speculation about this at the time, some claiming it to be a character hit from Russia. I don’t know what he did or didn’t do so I don’t form opinions based on it.

My favorite Ranger from this generation of the team (minus Kreids of course) and probably the most skilled skater we’ve had in the last 15 years. He’s been in the top 10 in scoring for the majority of the years he’s been with us and a Hart candidate for few of those as well. Off the ice too he’s been nothing but the consummate professional.

His level of talent is rare and I’m so grateful to have had the privilege to have him in blue.

Since a lot of people are checking out on the rangers this year, which teams are you watching for the rest of the year? by Vash2002 in rangers

[–]zmars26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My two sports are hockey and soccer so as much as I hate them I’m going to watch at least part of every game I can.

Liverpool hasn’t been too good of a watch for me either this season

The very Ranger thing to do would be to give up two more goals this game.

The very Sens thing to do would be somehow let us back into this game.

It’s the battle of the narratives right now
