This is the least attention I've paid to us since my first few years of fandom under MON. That is partly down to our situation, but watching the Euros this summer, I felt like a lot of the games were pretty similar to many PL games where there is a possession imbalance and the general feel of the game is favourite vs underdog. The game script isn't always going to be as you expect but the dynamic of one team passing it to death I think it's easy to overdo the revisionism and nostalgia and most of us are probably guilty of this but to me it does seem that much like many things in our global society, football is being slowly homogenised.

His 65 yarder last week went a little under the radar I think. Kickers are generally getting better but everyone went ape shit when Tucker hit 66 and that was off the crossbar. I think perhaps there were a couple of 60/61/62s last year but I don't recall any specific kicks.

Was it funny when it was new?

THC is the pyscho-active component in cannabis. CBD (what most of the oils are made from) is extracted from the plant and this is what these products are based on, but in the UK these products can't have a THC content (or if they do it's essentially a trace) so you don't experience any of the *high*. https://lloydspharmacy.com/blogs/vitamins-and-supplement-advice/is-cbd-oil-legal-in-uk I think in the US in the states where weed is legal there are CBD based products which may have THC content.

Did the club sponsor this?

I really don't know. I can't help but think that there must be some collective psychological memory that plays a part and has seeped into the team because over those 3 years you have a big change in player personnel and both co-ordinators are different, DC has even changed twice. At some point I think you have to look at the HC - it's clearly not a talent thing. This team reminds me a little of the City team under Brendan. Fantastic and a joy to watch at their best, but it feels like there's this soft underbelly. Every now and then someone catches a glimpse of it and all of a sudden we go from looking like we're unstoppable to rolling around on the floor being tickled with another 4th quarter loss in the books. It's bizarre.

Being a Ravens fan is bloody stressful. I know that might sound silly to fans of a number of other clubs given the regular season success, but we have been the worst team at blowing 4th quarter leads since 2021 and last night we gave up 19 points in around 4 minutes of gameplay. As soon as they got down towards the redzone for the first TD I was worried and rightfully so. My arse was well and truly clenched until that final 1st down killed it. It just shows you though how much impact steadily moving the ball has on a D and the opposing O in terms of fatigue. When our D was only on the pitch for 3 - 6 plays and Henry was rolling, it made it so hard for the Dallas D because they couldn't get a break. One 3 and out for us and one prolonged drive for the Cowboys and all of a sudden the energy and the balance of fatigue swings so much. It's a good job Lamb was cack last night, if he'd been on it we'd have lost and been in a real hole at 0-3.

Fingers crossed for some positive news for you.

I firmly support rehabilitation in general but for someone well into his 50s who likes looking at pictures of children being raped what does rehabilitation even mean? Maybe this was a relatively new thing for Edwards but I can't help but think that this 'desire' of his is not new. More broadly, what can you do to rehabilitate people who are so inclined ?

I was on about Coopers PL stats

Pretty grim reading this. It's hard to give the benefit of the doubt when so many signs point down.

It's fair to say he was a little hot and cold but he got a lot more stick than he deserved considering his output. When I saw the Newcastle highlights I smiled but I wish he was still with us. It's one thing losing good players who have no connection to the Club, but losing a lad like Barnes because of financial mismanagement when he didn't even want to leave is still galling.

It really depends on what you actually want, modular means quite a few things. A small garden room/pod that you can air-bnb out or another distinct home that you could rent out long term. At the opposite ends of the spectrum the two could be potentially very different things. Either way, whilst the rate of inflation on construction costs has reduced significantly, costs are not coming down.

What's your problem with this?

In other club news: Ipswich are selling candles - but not to lifelong fan Dave who thinks candles are for women and doesn't understand wanting your house to smell nice. Arsenal are selling gnomes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgkyl44k7v8o

Do you think undecided/swing voters are going to be affected by any answer to this question? I wouldn't have thought so.

Dark days to be a Spaniard.

Only trouble with this is that it implies Everton are somewhat more competent than us

Not sure the EFL can do much to us when we're a Prem club though. Potential for trouble if we go down though obviously.

It is literally one of the definitions of a loophole. First definition of a loophole on google: People seem to be arguing the semantics and saying we didn't break the rules but we quite clearly didn't comply with the spending limits of PSR rules. There is no moral high ground for us here.

Mixed emotions. Obviously this is great for this season and the longer term if we can stay up, but my word what a shitshow all this is.

What does this mean? Is it a pop-psych term?

Fair point. We're all entitled to a moan, I just wish I could keep up with what's going on without reading so much of it is all.

The football forum at the mo. I've never seen anyone mention this Popov lad on here before (and had never heard of him) but there is more moaning about it as if he was going to be a regular feature up top. I'm as frustrated with the club as the next person but some posters are looking for the negative in bloody everything and it's so tiresome.
