  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    If the article about pretty much the entire squad being up for sale is true then ETH is gone. No way in gods earth that a manager who has brought in players he specifically wanted (and has been told they’re now part of a fire sale ) would go for that. He is clearly part of that fire sale in the...
  2. Television 3 Body Problem

    It's taken pretty much directly from the books, but they miss out all the explanation (for why they particularly use this method) and there's more build up in the books (naturally) so I'd agree it just all feels a little off.
  3. Greta Thunberg

    This kind of relates to my comment in the 'if we stopped harping on about climate change' thread. I've been to two conferences at which Greta has been a key speaker (largely because I have two young kids who are shit scared they're not going to have a planet when they're my age so I take them...
  4. Television 3 Body Problem

    Binged the last three episodes and yup, was as disappointing as I'd anticipated. Just feels so cheap. There are already a lot of deviations from the books (which I don't have a problem with per se) but the majority of those deviations are the most dull characters created for the TV series. I...
  5. Television 3 Body Problem

    I loved the books so was really looking forward to this. Watched the first episode when it first came out and thought it was so bad that I didn't bother watching any more. But then I sat on it for a few days thinking maybe I was being unfair and it was just because I'd read the books first...
  6. Ten Hag - Positioning / Shape analysis

    I hate you. I just spent five minutes perfecting my perfect knee-jerk response to this, before I saw the username and realised the sarcasm :lol:
  7. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Always two sides to every story. The press consensus was that the phone call was a snub from Ten Hag (as Rangnick had wanted to meet with ETH who refused). https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/37629549/ten-hag-role-rangnick-exit Everyone can make up their own mind.
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    It's the equivalent of someone with a gaping knife wound lying on the floor and deciding to give it time and hope it'll get better rather than call an ambulance.
  9. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Where is your evidence for this (because there was plenty of accusations in the press that it was all ETH)?
  10. Film Martin Scorsese - Marvel movies are 'not cinema'

    Every single person who ever watched (and liked) The Leftovers. I counted.
  11. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Always hard to tell fact from fiction where the media are concerned, but pretty much every single mainstream printed media stated that Ten Hag was the one who didn't want Rangnick involved with the club anymore and, indeed, refused to take advice (or even a meeting) with Rangnick. So yes, if...
  12. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    The fact we're debating who was the better manager, Ole or ETH, is a testament to just how far we've fallen. It's like debating whether Weghorst or Ighalo was the better striker. The answer is irrelevant, because clearly neither was good enough, a conclusion which applies to both debates.
  13. Rashford out partying at nightclub hours before reporting as too ill to attend training

    While I never like to jump to conclusions (the media love to twist a fact for clicks) what makes this particularly disappointing isn't just because he's Rashford the Manchester United footballer, but because he's Rashford the role model. It's often argued that footballers don't ask to be role...

  15. Film Spider-man: Across the Spider-Verse

    Agreed! Took me completely by surprise and I'm still processing it and feel a bit disappointed!
