  1. I'm ready for the redemption arc. Really ready for it. We need something. Two promotions in minimum three seasons please.

     

    We need to get out of this division. Do that and I think we're in a position to compete at the top end of the Championship again.

     

    The jury is well and truly out. But this club does extraordinary stories and pulling things out of the fire just when you think all is lost.

     

    I'll forever be an optimist, despite my current misgivings about this manager.

  2. As he's here I'll support him but I don't think he's the right fit.

     

    Maybe he'll get the youngsters playing some nice, confident stuff.

     

    I'm expecting a number of gaffes as we aim to play it out from the back alongside the odd game where we put six or seven past a team.

     

    I'm going anywhere in the top half by the end of next season (if he stays).

  3. Regarding the energy demands of AI, how feasible is it really that data centres could be put in space?

     

    Is the energy needed to put them there less than that required if they were situated on the  Earth instead, bearing in mind that they may need to be repaired and/or upgraded periodically?

     

    Also what about ever-increasing space pollution and the increasing likelihood of debris in space becoming a danger for other satellites?

     

    I'd genuinely like to read about the pros and cons, understanding that once the data centres are up there, they're powered by limitless solar energy.

  5. The problem with Martin, realistically, I think, is that for Southampton promotion was the target and, yes, he achieved that but they were at times very inflexible, naive defensively and got battered a few times, not least by us.

     

    Once in the Premier League, he oversaw an almost record breakingly bad season.

     

    Then he woefully underachieved at Rangers and, before Southampton, he was a bit meh at MK Dons and Swansea in terms of results.

     

    So the signs are that he isn't quite as good as he thinks and it's the controlling, possession-based football, which many fans have turned and are turning against, that is getting him decent jobs.

     

    At some clubs, it might work. But the signs are that he's less able to implement it effectively than he thinks.

     

    Because of all that, a huge proportion of our fans won't want him here. And sometimes that gets whipped up into exaggerated hatred and piss taking about him personally.

    I've noticed people are getting worse and worse on roundabouts.

     

    If it's not people refusing to indicate at all coming off them, I've noticed so many people indicating at the complete wrong moment.

     

    So many indicating off early where it looks like they're coming off a junction before, or just indicating the wrong way as they come off, it's mad.

    Had exactly this earlier today, twice. Waiting to join a roundabout waiting for cars to pass. I started to move when I thought there was a gap as the car from the right was indicating to exit to the junction before mine, only to continue past it and then exit to my left. The car immediately behind did exactly the same thing.

     

    Both were taxis btw. They drive for a living. How can they be so universally bad at it.

    Then there are those that just decide to enter a roundabout when they feel like it cutting across traffic that's already on the roundabout. Feel like this has become much more common in the last few years.

  7. Think it's a little bit sad if English sides hoovering up the European trophies becomes a consistent thing.

     

    Can't knock Villa as an individual club, they've gambled and it's paying off for them. One European trophy and a couple of seasons in the CL over the last few years.

     

    Palace having a good chance of winning the ECL, West Ham winning it, Spurs nabbing the Europa League last season. Individually, obviously they're going to want to win it.

     

    But surely it's less exciting when you can say at the start of the season that an English team should win the trophy and then one does.

  8. Didn't Vardy say precisely that he didn't want to play for a club in the same division as Leicester? I guess Sheffield Wednesday is a different kettle of fish, though, especially as his chances to go back there are fast running out.

     

    It'd be horrible to see him lining up against us but he deserves to do whatever he likes.

     

    Genuinely, the club need to build the statue already. Name a stand after him. Name the stadium after him. Do something.

    Must get boring in scotland when the same two from the same city win it every single year. Sadly doubt we will see another club like hearts come close like this for a while.

    I'd hope with Tony Bloom's input they'll at least make it a three-horse race most seasons and win at least one in the next few seasons. They have the backing and the knowhow to achieve more with fewer resources, and if they continue to challenge their ability to spend money will increase and therefore give them a better chance of winning it. I think they're set up to win it sooner rather than later.

  10. Absolute sickener this. After their woes earlier in the season under Rodgers and Nancy, it's horrible that they're able to come back and win it.

     

    More competition will strengthen that league, but obviously Celtic fans won't care.

    It is a bit ironic how the club insisted on going with adidas (I think Puma's tender even offered more money? Could be misremembering) because they saw adidas as a "prestige brand", only to end up with two ultra-dodgy (to say the least) front-of-shirt sponsors from ultra-dodgy industries

    I'd be well up for us going with a less prestige brand just for a bit more variety and, I would presume, a more club-specific design.

     

    Joma, Errea, Hummel, Reebok, Kappa, Diadora, someone like that.
