Amalgam or Composite ?

 

Bit more work than just a filling, he’s got to drill out the old filling and refill it basically 

 

Just a composite them pair mert, don't think they were particularly deep but not sure how they set their prices

There's fans on here who are happy just to constantly revise down their expectations of the club. If some were told we'd be relegated in the summer of 2022 they'd rightly be furious and demand change, by the time it happened they accepted it.

 

Maybe it's because we won things we never expected but the "What do you expect attitude" is just so crap. What's the point in going or watching if you're just invariably fine with demonstrably avoidable failures each time.

 

I just can't get into the frame of mind where I'd reflexively be ok with poor decision making, or insist managers needed more time, or it's not the DoF/or the owner's fault/recruitment team's fault.

I've mis-read the quote, it was £295 including the appointment yesterday, £220 for the filling on its own - bit more reasonable

Tbh I can see why these failures being deemed "avoidable" is a good working hypothesis, but I'd be leery of using the word "demonstrably" to accompany it given there's no truly reliable control group.

 

I can also see why some people are frustrated and want to demand better, but also see why other folks decide to rationalise it in their own way. Football, as beautiful as it is, it not worth losing ones mind over because it isn't playing out the way one would want.

London feels so weird these days. Like coming back from holiday felt like moving from a place I'd lived all my life to a totally new city. 

Away from the 'posh' areas, most places look grubby.

Calling Walsall, Warsaw just aint funny.

When I told my girlfriend this morning who we are playing tonight she said we should tell our friend from Warsaw, and she wasn't trying to be funny. Although in her defence she's not British and has, fortunately for her, never heard of Walsall.

Is that still going?

I think it finished last year and 'Fenners' still sounds bitter and twisted about it all coming to an end. I see that him and Jimmy Bullard are doing podcasts and YouTube stuff now.

 

Also saw recently that Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain are re-uniting after nearly 20 years to do their own podcast.

Nowt better than playing a full album which ends just as you finish your morning commute. Such a difficult thing to time to perfection.

Reminds me of the days when my journey to work was so short I worked out which songs lasted for the duration of the journey and only used to play them. Simple pleasures, but very satisfying, nothing worse than getting to work half way through a great track

There’s lots of debatable failures where you can argue the toss but fundamentally relegation was a colossal failure given the position we were in just 18 months prior.

 

Its football, not lab conditions - constantly hedging and erring on the side of caution is a cop out.

 

As for your latter point, that’s fair but if the posters in question have signed up and regularly post on their team’s forum - they’ve sort of crossed the threshold, they’re already a certain amount of ‘bothered’.

And I would agree with this, but I wouldn't put it down as unchallengeable fact in the way other things are. I tend to think of it as qualifying remarks rather than hedging, given in this day and age opinion is already stated far far too much as fact.

 

WRT the last sentence, no doubt everyone on here is emotionally invested, but again people deal with that in a variety of ways and I think most of them are valid as long as they aren't genuinely harmful to the individual or others.

Back in the very early 90s I used to play Sensible Soccer and because it was only top European teams at the time I used to make domestic tournaments. Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal etc and I always used to put Warsaw in because I thought it was Walsall. I thought something was strange as I sort of knew at a young age that the spelling didn't look right (but most teams wasn't called there proper names for copyright reasons) and the players all had foreign names (pre foreign takeover) iirc the tournament I used to make was something like 8 teams but there was only say 7 English teams so Warsaw would make the 8.

At some point I can see Premier League games being forfeited.

 

If both clubs agree (usually a side with European commitments versus a struggler), I could envisage a situation where both teams settle for a 3-0.

 

No issues with fixture congestion for the European club, the struggler can focus on other games and fans aren't charged to watch a dull, one sided contest, especially if the current gap continues to grow.

If you have a season ticket you have already paid to watch the match. No clubs are going to reimburse fans for a forfeited match

That would have huge broadcast and commercial implications. Clubs aren’t going to donate millions of pounds for fun. Put a B team out like they all do in the cups
