  1. And us and Ipswich on 100%. Clearly something wrong with the modelling.
  2. It's really sad to read this Davie, I'm sure it wasn't easy but well done for doing so. There is an article on the beeb that went up in the last day or so about a bloke at Man United, 74 years in the same seat and he's had to give it up.
  3. First ride in a while yesterday, really enjoyed it. Ordered a new titanium gravel bike through cycle to work scheme the other week. It feels weird though, the roadie I've been riding for the last 10 years was 2nd hand off an old boy for £200 and I've had a lot of fun on it. This one is 10x that which does feel a bit strange, but I will get good use out of it and honestly I can't wait to have something that is good quality and has a bit more versatility.
  4. Humans have been telling stories since we've had the language to be able to. We have been learning from each other from fiction and from truth that entire time. Maybe a documentary would be more useful, maybe not. The fact that Adolescence has caused as much discussion as it has, presenting issues (which we know full well exist) in an emotive way, is evidence enough of the power and usefulness of good fiction. I think you can argue that with works of fiction it is perhaps easier for people to map their own experiences against the themes of the story, rather than against that of a documentary with much more specific events.
  5. From a comedic standpoint this is great. For you, not so much.
  6. Speaking of... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3x5j6g30ro Can't even talk about civil disobedience now. The frustrating thing for me is that I'm sure some people will have supported a crack down on JSO and others without understanding where all of it leads. It is frightening.
  7. Getting Jonny Evans back to play up front and getting Musa back in midfield, you crazy cat!
  8. I think people are going to be disappointed with the lack of turnover in the summer. Our track record for shifting players we don't want is woeful. I can't see more than 1 or 2 with contracts into next year actually being sold. Maybe a couple loans but we've even struggled with that as well.
  9. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c24q31yl0lvo Can we take a leaf out of Wednesday's book so this useless bunch all fvck off? I had no idea Wednesday were funded by a tuna magnate.
  10. I agree and it is definitely something we can improve on. That said, ultimately there is only so much you can do. You could do all the right things and a player might still leave for Man City or Liverpool because those clubs are who they are and money talks. Even if we weren't currently a shambles, the pull of those clubs has got to be huge for a young talent.
  11. Met a Forest fan in the pub last night. My mate said aren't we sort of rivals and the bloke instantly refuted it and started talking about Derby I walked off shortly after.
  12. Captained my hockey team to the league title (and promotion) yesterday with a 7-0 win. Buzzing.
  13. Is that an impersonator or something? What the feck is he doing walking around in the kit of the club he the club This is so bizarre.
  14. Never met either of my grandfathers. I've always wished I could have met them both just to see what they were like.
  15. Awesome place. The food is brilliant. Go to the blue mountains. About 20$ for return train ticket, quite a nice journey once you're out of the city. It's a full day but definitely worth it. Get over to Manly too and do the North head and one of the quieter beaches. R U Ok HPF?
  16. It's kind of a shame Riccy is still here and will be part of this shower of shit that gets relegated. It's unfortunate that he's been out injured but he has never been anything less than solid for us and he is clearly a good bloke. Crazy when you imagine the career he could've had if he'd never done his ACL and had another season of football playing as well as he did in his pomp.
  17. You're cherry picking here but the point is that they are where they are in the table and over the course of the season they deserve to be. They might not make the CL but they're having a great season. Move on man.
  18. That's what everyone said about our title.
  19. I probably could've phrased it better but that was what I was getting at really. Plenty thought it was the right call but from a human angle it was different to any other sacking.
  20. Yeah, not a great argument. I don't think anyone was glad that we sacked Ranieri in the sense that we all loved him but it was the right decision. You never get the good press for those decisions when it turns out to be a good one but you get the bad press from those who don't see the full picture. I'm pretty sure we got some stick for sacking that goblin from NI but that was the most united I think I have ever seen FT on a manager related decision - and we've been through our fair share.
  21. I'd love to know how they're working out the probability of Man City getting proper punishment from the authorities, and it actually being enforced.
  22. I don't quite understand the charge. Who is that banner actually discriminating against? Was it aimed at Fenerbahce?
  23. Maybe I'm too cynical but it looks like AI to me. Look at the face of the bloke on the left, look at the left hand side of the bonnet/windscreen on the nearest car, the writing on the tram. I know photos deteriorate and colouration can make things look a bit different but this looks odd to me.
  24. Rangers. Not even sure what this means. Woke foreign ideologies = bad, but we must defend Europe?
  25. Such a shame this is how he is going out. It's a disgrace really.
