  1. Certain people have bought into the fairytale and won't hear any word against the narrative they choose to believe. Don't know if it's just the media/marketing spin or if it's because of who their owners are and they bizarrely see them as mates in some way. They've done some good for Wrexham, that can't be denied. However they've also distorted the lower leagues and caused problems for clubs down there who really don't need it. Will be very interesting to see if opinions change in a few year's when Wrexham are in the Championship signing top flight player's and getting shirt sponsors for top 6 money.
  2. Maybe some of the poster's on here are actually AI. Might explain a lot.
  3. Finally paid my student loan off in full this month so won't have that eating away at my paycheck anymore. Not sure if this should cheer me up or piss me off that it took so long to clear.
  4. Nope. Dyslexia. But thanks for pointing those out.
  5. Shame really. Kid's are given homework for a reason and getting AI to do it for them only hinders thier learning and growth (unless the homework is use AI). Aren't their anti-plagiarism checks in place now for using AI too (or is that just at Universities)?
  6. Nobody knows if Accrington are profiteering. People are speculating that they are. All we know is that they had a lot more fans in the ground. This would have put more money through the turnstiles and likely meant more sold in the stadium. We also know this required them to spend more on security etc. However we don't know how much more this would have cost them. They charged an extra £5 per fan. We don't know if this caused them to make more money than the extra security cost or if they broke even or made a loss. Is what Accrington have done profiteering, who knows. But if it is, so what? They owe absolutely nothing to Wrexham or their fans (they possibly owe them less than nothing for financially disrupting the league). They're also desperately in need of cash themselves so it's understandable they'd put prices up and they've not singled Wrexham out in any way as they've done it to other clubs. We know Wrexham offered to reduce the return price by £5. This doesn't appear to require evidence of attending the away game and I'm not sure how that supports their season ticket holders. Is it a nice gesture by Wrexham? Definitely. Is it also marketing spin? Probably. Did they need to post it online and cause a fuss? Debatable. But in doing so they have again driven discussion on their club and made them noticeable. Which they shouldn't be. Football is a business nowadays and it's cut throat in the lower leagues. I don't think anyone is a bad guy in this.
  7. Oh no, no. You've forgotten that they've told everyone they're losing loads of money and everything's hard for them.
  8. We get about 60 minutes a night to watch TV with my wife. Have to get the lad down, then cook and eat dinner, then watch TV (if there's not work/diy/school stuff to do) before my wife goes to bed at 9pm. Takes us ages to watch anything. Definitely some good laughs in there.
  9. What? Some of the sequels are absolute dross. To stay on topic, it's a Christmas film. Set at Christmas, man just wants to reunite with his family and miracles happen along the way to let him achieve this. Sounds pretty Christmas like to me.
  10. You've flown through that. Glad to hear you enjoyed it as I like the show. Do you see what I mean about the slight tone shift and not just being a comedy though?
  11. Nah, those teams have always sucked and their fans are all losers.
  12. Countries globally starting with the letter I. Not my map and Ivory Coast doesn't need to be crossed out as it's Cote d'Ivoire anyways.
  13. International community doesn't care. Just look at Gaza right now. As long as they're friends to the West and spending money, they'll be just fine and allowed to continue as they wish.
  14. I thought they play in yellow and green?
  15. He'll give them 10 or 15 minutes at the end of a game, then say they didn't do anything and never pick them again.
  16. Their investments are global so we'd need all countries they've invested in (which includes places like China) to do the same. We'd also annoy some large and important firms by making their shareholder base unstable. We'd also need a valid reason to do it (like Russia invading Ukraine) otherwise it damages overseas investment in the UK as they won't trust us. We need to bring money into the country and not just send it our.
  17. Weak hamstrings causing back pain makes sense. I added in more posterior chain work (basically muscles that make you stand up right) and glute exercises which helped too. Has he got you doing leg curls, GHD machine, Romanian deadlift and bridges etc? Doing planks would probably be a good one for you if you're not doing them already. Builds a very strong core and works posterior chain. That link has a few other videos which are good. Working other muscle groups or full body etc.
  18. Any deduction they get (if they ever get one) will be a lot harder to land than Everton's. Political pressure will be applied and also:
  19. Good work bud. Keep at it. Tight hamstrings will definitely cause lower back pain (I've had it myself). What's your posture like? Are they tight as they're weak and being overworked by the muscles at the front (hip flexors/quads)? I'd still add some core work in as it's crucial for good posture and aids the big lifts and real World strength. As before, it doesn't need to be specific core work like sit ups (not a great core exercise anyway) but could be incorporated into another compound move. I try and do yoga once or twice a fortnight and focus on my hips/hamstrings. The below video/series is a good starting point.
  20. I was thinking that whilst I watched the video and they showed who we played. Expected them to comment on it. If you take the Liverpool and Newcastle games out then our away form immediately looks a lot better and those games (especially Newcastle) could've been a lot tighter (the xg they showed had 3:2 I think and that was still after Mings injury).
  21. Good video. However as we're 3rd on points over the 34 games this year then I'd suggest our away form isn't as bad as critical as they make out. It needs improving and I'm sure it will. Just as at some point our home form will take a dip. European games should hopefully be less of an issue if we can get some players back from injury and add a few in January.
  22. Unfortunately it's their investments that will prop them up long after the oil runs out. They've bought up more stuff than Disney. Pretty sure they own half of London's real estate and have fingers in most of our larger companies.
  23. Not sure. I'm too busy trying to decide which one would win.
  24. If anyone dies of boredom from reading this would that count as manslaughter?
