  1. limping to the championship a person will look at the quality Wolves have and think "what are they doing fighting for relegation?" and they look at this team and think "what are they doing in the Premier league". Sad end to the season and a sadder end for the career of the greats player to put-on a leicester City shirt.
  2. Now use the rest of the season to give the academy players some playing time. The last thing i want to see is a championship season with the same group of players. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to everyone involved in the relegation.
  3. Building a society that stipulates a financial capability to provide everything your child needs even before they are borne just to get thrown into an elderly home when you are feeble and weak and have your last days spent amongst strangers is truly dystopian imo.
  4. Finished the first book of the farseer trilogy last night and i have to say it was a decent read. It started very strong and then mellowed-out for the rest of the book(it gave me the same feeling as The Name of the Wind at the start). It was word-dense but refreshingly well-edited with attention to detail but few embellishments. The characters are decent but i failed to connect with the main character despite the events of the novel told from his point of view. The Fool i felt was more a seer-figuer weary of the future compared to The Wit who is a powerful, knowledgeable entity "fooling around". Both charismatic nonetheless. 8/10
  5. just reverse the order instead of butchering the order of importance? The argument for YYYY/MM/DD argument goes against the argument for the MM/DD/YYYY format I saw this picture online which led me to my post earlier
  6. Is the trilogy any good? Am not asking for much, I just want consistency be it average or great and for the writer to not be so enamoured with his word-count
  7. After the 3rd book, I refused to invest much of my time on reading the 4th so I just youtubed a summary of it and even then I felt I was robbed of my time. I read that Sanderson's "prose" aren't the best but even the plot is lacking. And yeah, too many Jesnah chapters. What really put me off is the way Kalidan's PTSD was handeld especially when you compare it to Dalinar's so it's the author's choice to go that route. I kept waiting a redemption arc for Kaladin and wouldn't you know it, it came by the hands of Dalinar striping him of his military duty so I thought "maybe this is the wake-up call that Kaladin needs" he could've chosen to lash-out at Dalinar, refuse his commands and keep leading the squad that he assembled, or maybe just walk away and start anew but nah, he choose group-therapy when people are dying all-round him. That was the nail on the coffin for me not just for the MC but also the book series. I don't mind sub-par writing, world building, characters, or plot because I have read some trashy fantasy novels, but when you write characters like Wit and Dalinar and then serve me that, now you are just pushing how far your fanbase can tolerate your nonsense.
  8. This weekend but it depends on which day you consider to be the last day of the week. Some think it's Friday, whilst others say Sunday. So you get stuck with "but actually..." where it's just mental gymnastics. Now if you want to talk about american terrorism, the MM/DD/YYYY formula is up there. I get it if the month is spelled-out like July 17th, 2025, that can be very helpful for a journal or something of the like but 07/17/2025 is just wrong.
  9. The drop-off in quality between the first 2 books and the rest of the stormlight archive books is actually disgusting. Such a waste of time. Kaladin was one of my favourite MCs But then again, I'm based towards progression fantasy and the "chosen one" trope, so ps: Moash is overhated by the fanbase
  10. Am sorry but when did Rice acquire Yaya Tourè's shooting? It just looks AI generated that 2nd freekick
  11. With the way the club is run, I would be surprised if there is one.
  12. Shades of Gary Neville's stint at valencia In display
  13. I was against the appointment of managers like Dyche and Moyes for the low quality of football and that was clueless by me. This is worse than hoofball.
  14. Vardy's instincts are still sharp but his body is not. A few years back and he would've been on a brace by now. Still a legend and he puts a shift but it gets harder for any footballer when they are this close to 40 years old.
