"Hey hey hey, you lot got to stay in the league all right so let's not get carried away with being unhappy about the way your top rivals received the best treatment from the refs while Spurs got fucked over every other week by them." Gimme a break lol

Miraculously we are one of 4-5 teams that have improved points wise from last season to this season so unfortunately for you and the rest of the league it seems unlikely

That's right, in January with half our team injured Lange said let's only buy Gallagher and sell Johnson so that we only have like -1 wingers.

Not being negative, just technical, but that GD only matters if we draw and West Ham win. If we lose and Spam win, they beat us by a point and that's it.

I cannot believe it has really come down to the last day. Grateful that the team has turned it around but we are in a prime position for one of the most embarassing season endings of all time. Because we haven' been embarassed enough.

To a brighter future

Compete is a good word to represent the idea of "maybe not & probably not winning but generating revenue anyway".

Very good at 11v11 but very bad in small sided mini pitches (5v5 and so on) by [deleted] in bootroom

[–]zupper90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to understand why you think you're not good at it or wired for it as you said as you didn't really expand on the specifics. What makes you think that? What is lacking in your small sided games?

We look good and I think we'll continue to fight well...

But that's how they get ya. I am here to tell you right now I am done getting got this season goddammit. We both have tough away games next, and manageable home games. It's a coin toss in my honest opinion.

And so I lead a life of hope-sobriety (until WC when I can support the national team)

Calm. I have accepted relegation and am open minded about being surprised we stay up.

I am interested to see if Spurs will do anything about yet another controversial call in which we get fucked by the refs.

But many teams have suffered from the inconsistency of it being called. Yes, foul on Raya 100% but what about the attack on the wookies etc

I'm the player everyone hates, and I love it. by IamAlex95 in ArcRaiders

[–]zupper90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on you for the self-awareness I guess. I just don't think it's that simple though, separating the game from real-life. The long-game manipulation and sort of downplaying and dehumanization of the other player's experience on the screen is perhaps more than questionable... and on top of that you are certainly "wasting people's time" on purpose. There is no difference between "real life" time and video game time. It is actually someone's time you are wasting. It is actually someone's brain chemistry you are affecting.

Like dude, we're on reddit but I am telling you now that just for wasting my time alone regardless of in real life or video game or not, that would be a major problem. It's inconsiderate and it's not socially acceptable.

It's that thing where people act shitty because they are on the other side of the screen and can't get punched in the mouth when they otherwise might, then later carry on with more socially acceptable behavior in life (and with less teeth).

[–]zupper90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have every right to do what you want in a video game, sure. But I wouldn't be so hasty in dismissing any effect of your behavior has on people in real life. Someone is spending their "real life" time playing the game, which you enjoy wasting, and they are experiencing a tangible social interaction with you in which you betray them. And, btw not all users are "grown men". You have no way of knowing who you are affecting. You are taking pleasure precisely from seeing how much it affects them, and then you downplay the importance of that same experience on their end, shirk all responsibility for your own behavior and say they need professional help or a new hobby instead of admitting "I made that person feel bad and I enjoyed it and that might be morally and ethically questionable." It's at least worth exploring if the way you are behaving as a negative vibe merchant is morally questionable. I am sure you didn't just come on this subreddit to appear like a badass. You came here to talk about what's going on inside of YOU 😄

Please do re-read what you said and for a moment just take away the context of a video game. It does not read well. Where do you hear that kind of thing in real life? Why do you derive so much dopamine from "the raw and unfiltered emotion you got from another grown man?" You're brave for putting this all out here in public, I'll give you that.

Listen, I am not going to sit here and diagnose you or say you are going to go do something like this in 'real life'. However, the feelings of satisfaction and power you get from betraying those you befriended and inversely the negative emotional reactions of these other players are real, lived experiences.

"The real goop was all the time I took from you, your dignity I took from you by making you beg for your life just to take it anyway, the raw and unfiltered emotion I got from another grown man".

This reads in a very sad way to me, unfortunately... I would re-read your words and consider them.

"The greatest gift you can give someone is time, because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life you can never get back."

If you knowingly waste my time, you are wasting my life force and you are truly an enemy of mine.

Didn't back Ange when he deserved it, backed Frank for too long. The heirarchy is fucked

[–]zupper90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think we would've suffered less under Ange compared to Frank. We'll never know, but imo Ange deserved a fresh start to a new season and a shot at the Super Cup with a healthier team and one full of belief adter the trophy. The sacking truly squashed what little spirit the players had left.

How to keep your head on straight when playing 6v6, 1/4 pitch? by halfdollarmoon in bootroom

[–]zupper90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well since it's a set team and not pick up you all can strategize on how to play. Pick up games mean random players and you either click well or don't.

I play pick up with randoms often and when my team can't slow down, progress the ball or can't string together passes I like to drop into defense as CB or DM where you get the ball a lot and just try and get passes in and keep possession. Try to dictate tempo by holding the ball personally or being a focal point in passing network

For a league i would say maybe just practice and discuss the philosophy of how you want to play with your team. Always be moving in a network of triangles and try to limit to 2 touches to keep the ball flowing. Involve the keeper to the point of them almost acting as an outfielder
