  1. Been saying for ages swing voters were going to favor Trump this time around. People have endured real hardships these past few years, and Harris publicly saying she wouldn't change a thing after being asked if she would've done anything differently under Biden is what really ruined her. The GOP ran with that. Why elect someone to fulfil these promises when she's already in office not doing so? Harris to the general public just didn't seem authentic. It's actually amusing that the more celebrities that endorsed her, the less popular she got. She didn't really target the voters that she needed. Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez telling us who to vote for doesn't really resonate with the common Midwest blue collar worker for example. General consensus was that people knew what they were getting with Trump. With Harris, it was up in the air.

    When its a comedy show/film, no. Everything else, yes.
  3. So many questions. RIP.
  4. I'm pretty certain England will remain a defensive side. I think this is one of the toughest jobs in the world simply because of all the attacking talent at their disposal, England don't have the midfield nor defence to play a controlling, attacking style of football that many want. Reason why I am skeptical is that although Tuchel is a vastly more intelligent manager,, he still heavily relies on his players being clinical when they need to be. He'll always prioritise players who can contribute defensively over creating numerical attacking advantages. This can lead to pedestrian football. Chelsea fans and Bayern fans have expressed annoyance of the lack of attacking chances that are created. When players are clinical. Fantastic. When players aren't. It's awful. People like to point to our Champions League final against City but we almost lost the Super Cup & Club World Cup because we couldn't put away the minimum amount of chances we created. We lost both domestic cup finals to Liverpool for also wasting the few chances we created. The Champions League final was almost an anomaly. (Helps Kante played the game of his life) I look back at Southgate's tenure and too many times England created very little and weren't clinical when it mattered. Can Tuchel change that?
  5. Believing Thomas Tuchel can't do better than 2 World Cup semi finals & 2 Euro Finals isn't a wild take at all.
  6. I'm not sure he does any better than Southgate. Tuchel's first managerial principle will always be to organise a side to mitigate counter attacks. I think England's lack of top CBs and DMs will have him revert to a 3 at the back system again. This will frustrate a lot of fans as this will in turn have a lack of numerical advantages in the attacking end. Bayern and ourselves found it difficult to create chances due to his system so when they aren't clinical, its awful. That's my biggest question. Can England be clinical? My stance has always been that England does not have the midfield nor the defence to play a controlling/attacking game that reflects the attacking talent at England's disposal. Southgate was battered for it.
  7. Joker: Folie à Deux - 4/10 Honestly, Todd Philips should feel ashamed this was made. Cinematography was the only redeemable thing about this film. Don't get me started on the ending. From being an academy award nominated film, to producing a sequel that is now being compared to Morbius. Just. Wow.
  8. Grotesquerie. Not sure why it isn't getting enough attention or rated higher. I think its been brilliant so far. True Detective vibes.
  9. So many absurdly shit films on all streaming platforms nowadays. Genuine crises.
  10. Wow. So you're telling me Mufasa was an adopted cub who Scar took in to his royal family, and then Mufasa ended up being the rightful heir? I'd kill him too.

    The Boys/Gen V

    Yeah the far right MAGA rallies and Disney/Marvel satire has been top notch this season.
  12. So much for data driven recruitment. Creates less chances per 90 than Gallagher and offers zero defensive work rate. What an upgrade. Stinks of owing Mendes a favor.
  13. Quality wise makes him a very exciting signing but then you look at his injury record.
  14. Aemond Targaryan only had 22 minutes of screentime this season. Aemond Targaryan...... In a Dance of Dragons......Getting less than half an hour of screen time...... Says it all really. Not to worry. The endless Daemon hallucinations leading up to a pointless long night/Dany and her dragons vision certainly made up for it.
  15. Shit finale to a pretty uneventful season bar the build up to season 3.
  16. The film is borderline a masterpiece for that very reason. As much a film about a man's struggles with PTSD and guilt as it is about the big lizard.

    Paris Olympics 2024

    I think the level of ignorance we are seeing and people willingly allowing misinformation to spread on social media is a very, very big concern for the future. It's a complicated situation. Apparently intersex people aren't allowed to compete at the World Championships but are allowed to at the Olympics.
  18. It needs to be the LB that inverts. Cucurella is good in possession + doesn't offer much in attack, and the new lad Renato Viega is a LCB/LB/LCM hybrid. Reece James and Malo Gusto are too influential as fullback on both ends of the pitch. Limiting them to being defensive mids makes them redundant. Sanchez James Fofana Colwill Cucurella Enzo Caicedo Nkunku Palmer Jackson Sterling
