I think it was - but Rodger's definitely played the two up top owing to substitution.

Yes, I would have responded with the same. He didn't feature or play a significant part in the campaign. As I recall it was a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained against Southampton at home the season before.

We have seen that before and after months of members on here bleating for it to happen, it was as underwhelming as it likely would be now.

True. I recall Kante being out for a home game against West Brom which we drew, but that's pretty much it.

Really? Thanks for that. Coming from London myself, I was more interested in where he lived. He was kind enough to send a PM.

Decades of extensive research have yielded little in the way of identifying the mechanism of abiogenesis. There are a range of different theories concerning the origin of life, and none of them have been proven. Laboratory experiments have made some inroads into creating biomolecules such as amino acids from gaseous precursors. Look up the Miller-Urey experiment which is the most famous of these. But scientists have yet to come even close to reproducing life in the laboratory. This strongly implies that as I suggested previously, life does not evolve easily. Even if we were to cede the point that life can evolve easily given enough time, the vast majority of exoplanets are nonetheless inhospitable to life. New research suggests that most stars are incapable of supporting plant life via photosynthesis. Harvesting a star’s energy is the first step for the evolution of life, but evolution cannot even be initiated if there is not enough of it. Saying that, NASA estimates that there are 100 billion exoplanets in our galaxy alone. Given the vastness of time and space, it is statistically unlikely that we are the exceptions throughout the history or cosmos, or that "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away", civilisations and intelligent sentient beings have not evolved and existed.

I'm inclined to disagree. I think this will be low scoring impasse and a very tight encounter with neither side giving much away and unlike last year, we won't be so inclined to roll over. capitulate and concede two soft goals at home in the second half to a Che Adams brace, losing the game in the process. Low scoring affair - possibly a draw with the potential to open up in the final fifteen minutes.

We have none - although do take a look at the news item posted by @leicsmac in the Science and Technology thread about the tentative discovery of DMS on a planet 120 light years away. Our star is amongst approximately 200 billion in the milky way, which are host to trillions of exoplanets and is one of an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the universe which is 13.7 billion years old. Based on Kepler Data, There's a 95% Chance of an Earth-Like Planet Within 20 Light-Years.The Drake/Green Bank Equation reveals the statistical chance of active communicative extra-terrestrial civilisations in out galaxy alone. This is regarded as an approximation as opposed to an attempt to derive a precise number. It has nonetheless been described as “a wonderful way to organize our ignorance.” The Fermi Paradox ponders why Earth has not been visited by aliens. This invites the so-called Great Filter: Intelligent species may run up against barriers like climate change or nuclear war that keeps their lifespans short and prevents them from spreading throughout the galaxy. More likely, as I suggested, the speed of light really is a universal speed limit and traversing these vast distances during the time span of a civilisation is an impossibility. It is conceivable that probes have been sent into deep space by civilisations billions of years ago, but given the immense size of the cosmos, why should they end up here? Perhaps radio signals/electromagnetic radiation indicating transmissions should have by now though? Particularly if there once was - or even is, intelligent life in our galaxy - our own cosmic backyard. Scientific investigation began shortly after the advent of radio in the early 1900s, and focused international efforts have been ongoing since the 1980s. So far, the silence is deafening. Finding non-intelligent life is far more likely. Earth existed for most of its history, 4.25 billion years, without technological life, and human civilisation is a very late-breaking development. The belief that humans eventually will encounter aliens is based on two assumptions: (1) Intelligent life evolves easily, and (2) interstellar travel is possible and practical. Neither of these assumptions are likely to be true. The academic debate now is not whether life exists but in what form. Many scientists assume that the commonest form of life is microbial which is a fair assumption, given that on Earth, humans beings have only recently emerged, while microbes have been around for 3.5 billion years. As a result, many astrobiologists are spending their days examining the atmospheres of exoplanets for telltale signs of bacteria-like creatures. I would argue, that, aside form philosophically, It does not matter if intelligent alien life exists elsewhere in the universe. We will never find them, and they will never find us. In other words, we are effectively alone in the universe.

There is definitely extra-terrestrial life out there from single celled organisms to sentient beings. The separation in terms of distances and the time periods prevent visitations/contact. In cosmic terms. we are here in the blink of an eye. As I've said before. Asuming an advanced civilisation had engineered the capability and mastery to warp spacetime and achieve intergalactic travel traversing tens of thousand, possibly millions, if not, billions of lightyears, I'm fairly certain that they wouldn't be preoccupied with buzzing about in 1950s styled B movie cigar and saucer shaped craft, mutilating cattle and abducting random rednecks from trailer parks in Tennessee.

Where? If you don't mind me asking?

Pure internet speculation/induction fallacy with zero causal evidence. I absolutely guarantee that Tom Cannon's injury is nothing whatsoever to do with Seagrave nor were any of the other recent ones that have plagued the club.

Jeez. That's an overuse injury. Again, depending on severity, that's obviously going to be longer than a hamstring...probably out for two or even three months I'd guess.

Grade 1 hamstring tear, which can result in re-injury. If that's the case, depending on the severity then he may not be back in training until mid October at the earliest.

Glanced at this thread title and thought that Harry Winks or Conor Coady might have been in the running to resurrect and revitalise their England career. Either that, or KDH has caught the eye of Southgate.

That was Tielemans last May.

As explained, it is of huge mutual gain and in the reciprocal interest for both the UK and the EU whilst the beneficiaries from the impact of this renewed research collaboration are on a global scale.

Who remembers 'The Invisible Man' featuring David McCallum as Dr. Daniel Westin? Woke up this morning with the theme music inexplicably resounding in my head.

And I am inclined to agree - and these points have been repeatedly discussed with the Kremlin apologists that now lurk on this thread - particularly police harassment of the ethnic Russian population in the Donbas region alongside the white supremacist leanings of the Azov Battalion. How this manages to be inflated to the claim that "Ukraine has a real far right NAZI problem amongst its population" by supporters of the Russian Federation, an authoritarian state, a nation hardly renowned for its tolerance and a regime that has hilariously employed the Wagner Group militia since the invasion of Crimea to do its dirty work is utterly beyond me.

Or a post on Twitter/X from a reputable "Ukrainian journalist".

The UK will contribute almost €2.6 billion per year on average for its participation to both Horizon Europe and the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme programme. We will not pay association fees for the period of exclusion from the arrangement. Also, the underperformance clause/automatic clawback first proposed in 2020 allows the U.K. to be compensated should our scientists receive significantly less money than has been put into the programme. Our researchers can now access and apply for grants from a vast source of funding that had been denied in addition to being able to to participate in Horizon Europe on the same terms as academics in EU member states and will again have the opportunity to lead consortia on collaborative research projects. For example, nearly two thirds of all cancer research in the UK over the last decade was funded by the EU. And of course the benefits of our participation are both mutual and reciprocal. EU researchers and institutions have been equally stymied by not being able to collaborate with the UK. Horizons is part of a greater worldwide network of researchers and innovators committed to tackling global challenges in climate, energy, mobility, digital, industry and space, health, and the ramifications of the pace of technological acceleration wrought upon society. Real world, applied research together with engendering knowledge sharing is the renewed mission of our institutions across the planet. Collaboration is key to this and essential for the vitality of science in the UK and elsewhere, whilst being conducive to new discoveries, innovation and the world economy. As explained, this is also an essential step in re-building and strengthening our global scientific standing. You are overlooking the fact that this is not simply academics and institutions that will benefit from this, but industrial researchers that have long been at the heart of the scheme. Horizon Europe is open to all legal entities. This means that e.g. researchers, businesses, institutions, universities, associations, organisations established in an EU Member State or a country associated with Horizon Europe can participate and receive funding from the programme. Again, this is a reciprocative relationship/process across the scheme.

Unbelievable to think that at the peak of his popularity in the 70s, impersonating the likes of Eddie Waring, he was commanding viewing figures in the region of 20m. I thought he was older too.

Quite, sO1 hasn't been around for a while with his far right nationalism.

Set to be a muggy one tonight though.
