    So I've often wondered, but have found no good answer to this: with all the tattoos Travis has had done on his body often seemingly on a whim, including a giant Transplants logo on the back of his head, and how grateful he is that his love for music and drumming has got him where he is: how doesn't he have a single blink tattoo? 

    Always rubbed me the wrong way too. It’s because the band is a vehicle for Travis’ fame - that’s about it

    I love so much about 2. I love all the live-action movies. I even love C-3PO’s stupid puns in 2 lol. It’s low on my list but I’m such a sucker for Star Wars, I don’t dislike any of them.

    There were so many cool aspects of II. The seedy underbelly of Coruscant. The noir vibe of Obi-Wan’s investigation. There was a lot to love. I also have to always skip the droid refinery scene - but apart from that, give me some Dex Jettser and his butt crack

    I don't care about reviews, but this new season of Succession is going to fix all of our problems for ten straight weeks. Very likely this is going to be one of the most impressive final seasons in TV history. 

    The humour. The treachery. The malapropisms. The FUCK OFFFFS. Peak TV

    Why on earth are you telling me how to feel - its bizarre...

    He wasn't devasted - he was disappointed and wanted a reaction and got one. He said setbacks will happen but its all part of the journey to rebuild the club. He publicly backed our captain, and praised him yesterday. Perfectly handled. 

    Liverpool are still one of the best teams in Europe - they can thrash anyone on the day. If you don't know this then you're out of touch with this sport. 

    I don't detest Liverpool or City - we have alot of good history with both clubs at an emotional level which goes beyond football. 

    You’re just not striking me as a United fan at all. I would be devastated if it was the other way round. Playing your rivals always matters. That’s football. I think Ten Hag handles most things exceptionally, including this. That’s not the argument - I’m saying they felt it on the day. It’s not just some loss, it’s a thrashing to Liverpool. 

    I’ve been watching us since I was about six years old, I know what we can do. I detest United. Always have, always will. That’s football. It’s tribalism. I like Ten Hag, Rashford etc. I still want to see you struggling.  It’s meant to hurt. Football without that emotional context becomes numbers on a board. 
     

    How can you not hate city? A club devoid of soul. I appreciate what Pep has done with his current crop of protégés coming through becoming top managers - but city and their dominance can get fucked

    I mean i admire that you're desperately trying to make me feel sad about it - but i applied some rational thinking and it was very easy to overcome haha. 

    I've been supporting this club my entire life - we've been embarrassed many times by rivals and non-rivals. Some hurt and some don't because of the context of what happened in that season. Really not difficult to understand. 

    I have nothing but respect for the players who have been brilliant playing every 2/3 games since the WC and won nearly all of them . How can i be sad or hurt? i'm beaming.  

    Losing to Brighton and Brentford hurt far worse than Liverpool game - you know why? Context. 

    That makes 0 sense. Context is being battered by the struggling team you surely detest most? Or do you not support United? Football is about emotion. Your manager was devastated. Your captain’s head fell off. But you feel fine ? Why? 

    I just don’t buy it.

    why would it bother me? this is the happiest I've been in years supporting this club. We literally won our first trophy in years 2 weeks ago... playing great attacking football. One result isn't going to change that. 

    Funny you mention 'projecting' - maybe you should learn fans don't all feel the same way as you or one another  - i know the ones I speak to are happy to take the hiding once in a while if it means we keep progressing and winning trophies - not like its our first time.

    You broke records in how badly you lost? How does that not hurt? Against your rivals that are floundering ? I’d have more respect if you accepted that it hurts, because the hoops you’re jumping through to avoid saying that - tells me it does.

    No reasonable person is saying one result is going to derail your season (or make ours) but you were embarrassed. Crack on, get third - but it was a titanic game and titanic failure

    i replied to your comment towards me. Not the brightest thing to do when you try to move on - but i'll let you off, clearly been a rough few days for you pal. 

    He lost 7-0 to his biggest rivals, if you’re not bothered by that- support another team. Clearly have no regard for football if that result doesn’t cut you deep. You’re projecting - accept that it hurts, move on later. You’ll still probably finish a place higher than us in your best season in years, and our worst 😂

    Good result tonight, just like Sunday was a terrible result. Really don't get why this is so hard to understand...

    Projection and delusion. I had two United mates that I watched it with, tell me that losing 7-0 is the same as 1-0. Both 0 points. Laughable.

    Just accept it was a loss and it hurt and move on

    I also have a soft spot for their raw earlier stuff, because of the Another State of Mind documentary about their first years as a band. Anyone from that doc has legendary status in my book. It's on YouTube now.

     

    Example of early song:

     

    Might do some watching tonight! I like the dirty sound, I’m just a sucker for big melodic choruses- which they seem to have perfected a bit later

  10. As a Liverpool fan, I've been ducking a lot of the footie this year. Just haven't enjoyed it, knew it was gonna be shit as we're transitioning - whole spine going on a decline. Arsenal's result and the game yesterday obviously reignited something, difficult not to.

    I watched it with two of my best mates, both United fans, fuck me - not sure if it was dealing with a fallout of emotions, but the delusion was strong. They said losing 1-0 is the same as 7, what a joke. They also said it doesn't matter as this was Liverpool's 'Cup final'. Another joke, really. If United vs Liverpool isn't the biggest game of your season, you may as well go support another fucking team. Always will be the be all and end all.

    There was some luck, but the joy we found down that right side wasn't anything to do with luck. Your season will still likely end better than ours,  but you just have to let the result hurt. If that result spurs us on to get 4th, then it means something - if nothing comes of it, it means a lot less. Also, Bruno's head went - not what you want from a captain. Then again, I remember Gerrard's last derby...

     

     

  11. You don’t fuck up with South America. That’s once in a lifetime shit. I get not being able to play/ postponing as long as the shows are fulfilled. But yeah, could act like an adult and show some decorum. However - this is the same man that baby talks his gal all day and then uploads photos of their clothes strewn across the floor after sex. He’s a man-child.

    It’ll be awful. This album is going to be a pile of shit I can sense it. I reckon Tom has completely sold out and has caved into to Mark’s pop punk nonsense. 

    I also have this same sneaking suspicion. Maybe Tom just wanted an easy life and acquiesced to Mark and Travis, didn't want the awkardness again. Gonna make me cry for some Neighbourhoods

    COME ON GET WITH IT! Haha yes it was a single, it was a big hit! One of my favorite music videos too actually:

    I'd say it was a pretty important(?) single for Blink because it was the first one to make the masses realize "oh shit maybe they're not just goofballs"

    I sometimes forget about this gift. Too difficult to listen to most of the time. But yeah - shows the minds underneath the goofiness
