One loss and all of the sudden negativity rise back up. Calm down friends.
It sucks but it’s only the second game of group stage, we still got wiggle room.
What’s concerning is our performance (and possible injuries) leading into this weekend’s game.
Can’t wait for the inevitable city banter era, fucking tired of that club constantly winning. I hate Leipzig as well so it could be worse but ffs lol
There will be no City fans to banter
I wonder what fanbase they silently merge into when Pep leaves, Chelsea or United? Perhaps Newcastle if they want that sweet, sweet, petroleum.
Really? It’ll be whoever’s winning. They’re not looking at anything other than results. Football fans seriously underestimate how many people choose to support the team that’s winning when they start watching.
idk why i bother with trying to convince people who don’t want to be convinced that e.g. climate change is real and needs solving or that e.g. Armenia needs help
I gave up trying to urge people to care about climate change when I was eleven. They don’t give a fuck.
yeah, I mostly just go to protests about democracy cuz I think it’s more important and more likely to see change but it’s so fucking frustrating how much people just go “oh yeah you’re blindly trusting politicians? Where’s the plan and how do you know they’re trustworthy and how do you know that they’re not all part of a globalist conspiracy” etc etc.
I suppose the presence of figures like Matt Gaetz in parliament really shows how representative democracy is working…
@Astrealix @HaleEndGrad i just don’t know how gaetz is doing what he’s doing rather than wearing stripes
Because he’s just a symptom, not the problem. He should still be nowhere near Congress, but this problem is institutional. I saw someone say this on Bluesky but America is basically a 3-party state right now, except with the two sides of the Republican Party technically under the same umbrella. The MAGA part is not big, but big enough to force a coalition — and only time will tell whether it’s MAGA with the GOP or if the GOP decide to break from that half and do a coalition with the Dems lol
i know i typed parliament, and that it’s technically the wrong term, but my brain typed it before i realised and it feels funny so i’m leaving it
Genuinely depressing shit… but then that’s Twitter for you :p
What the fuck is the WC2030 format. Didn’t they learn their lesson from UEFA doing Euro 2020?? I feel bad for the 3 other teams that have to play in South America
FIFA: making it a real WORLD Cup
Great scoreline for Newcastle. But this commentator on CBS is doing my fucking head in
Andres Cordero, is awful. “The final chapter in the Gordie fairytale” mmm no. This is the start if anything. Ray Hudson is a character so I can see how he can be annoying. He’s funny to me. But Cordero doesn’t cut it. He commentates like it is a NFL game.
I know lemmy.world seems to have adopted dark mode as the default, but is there any way for this sub to change it back to light mode? Dark mode here makes it unusable for people with astigmatism.
You can change it on your own in your profile settings. I don’t think there’s community-wide XSS stuff on here
@Astrealix that would require I create a lemmy account 😭
This wouldn’t be an issue if the follow request from mastodon wasn’t in limbo.
(edit) gonna try following gunnersbot instead. Let’s see if that works.
Wait, what’s the problem sorry? I’m confused. Shouldn’t using mastodon give the mastodon interface anyway?
@Astrealix posts from the sub stopped appearing on my masto feed awhile ago, but are visible if I enter the URL into search.
The follow request for the sub was showing as “pending approval” forever, so I just cancelled it and am now following gunnersbot instead. We’ll see if that changes anything.
Man City, Chelsea, Sevilla is a good test of championship character. I think if we can pass the test, especially with Saka and Martinelli out, we can gain immense belief and confidence. Being champions, would become quite likely.
Havertz at CF and ESR as a left 8 would be too radical to expect from Arteta
Arteta is too stubborn. We’re going to get Vieira for Saka. Maybe a double pivot with Rice and Partey with Havertz benched (which i doubt will happen).
