    I've got to be honest, until I read this thread I didn't actually know that this scumbag was male. I tend not to read news like this, so just take in the headlines and just assumed that when people Sky News and The Guardian were putting headlines like "Woman jailed for...." they actually meant woman. This is a trans woman. A male. And it should be reported thus.

    Thanks @canarydan23

    I bought an S22. I really wanted an S22 Ultra for the camera but when I tried to click the buy button my hand froze and I started to sob. It was very expensive! 

    I don't think you'll be disappointed. My missus has the S22 and has taken some phenomenal photos with it.

    On a weekend you might get a few go across (although the novelty would soon wear off I imagine) but how many are going to do it on a Tuesday evening?

    We have a good solid core of 700+ who are prepared to travel to god awful English venues midweek. They are likely to be up for a trip to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast for an away game, even if it was Tuesday night. Add them in with the people who'd do it for the novelty, and I include myself in that (I would 99% be going to a meaningful fixture in any of the aforementioned cities) and you'd get 1,000+ going. It wouldn't be an annual thing because of simple statistics. And if you gain that sort of connection to a tournament, the prestige grows. As the prestige grows, so does the desire to win it, and it stops becoming a competition for EPL Reserve teams.

    It might not work, but at the moment the EFL Cup is crap. I don't know what the TV audiences are but I would hazard a guess that they are ****. So try something radical to shake it up.

    **** it, I'd be happy to see injury-time multi-ball given a go at this stage rather than persisting with the status quo.

    Nobody knows what our wage bill, or any other teams wage bill is, do wish people would stop speculating.

    Speculation is what fans do.

    And if someone said to you, with a gun to your head and a bullet if you either refuse to answer or answer incorrectly, where you think Norwich stand in the most expensive wage bill this season, what are you going to answer?

    Personally, I'd be saying 4th. I'm not certain it'd be correct, but it's definitely the most likely correct answer.

    With Coventry likely to rest players as they are in play-off contention, they will consider themselves having the chance of another scalp and a progression.

    Nah, no chance. You would have to be really, really, utterly **** to lose to Maidstone as a Championship side. I mean really ****. Really, really, really ****.

    Trouble is nobody outside of Rangers, Celtic or the English clubs would make it past the first couple of rounds anyway. I can’t imagine Plymouth travelling up to Inverness on a weekday evening, or Norwich wanting to go across to play TNS or Shamrock Rovers

    You'd only open it up to SPL teams, and it's only blinkered ignorance that make people believe that Hearts wouldn't smash Rotherham. And whilst the club might not appreciate it, I think there are hundreds of Norwich fans, maybe even 1,000 plus, who would love the opportunity to travel to Dublin to watch their team play in a meaningful fixture. I'd be there with a group of mates in a heartbeat. I know what the attending fans want is low in the priority list of those who hold the levers of power, but it shouldn't be. And the EFL Cup is the place to try these things out.

    Don't let the top half EPL teams in until the 3rd round if needs be, like in the FA Cup. Just do something to make it a unique, talked about and desirable tournament. We've just seen an EFL Cup Final where Liverpool played some of their kids. Why? Because Klopp, and most of the fans, would not have given a real **** if Chelsea won today.

    I’d have more sympathy for your position if we’d blown Brentford away rather than an extremely fortuitous 2-1 win

    I've read this fortuitous nonsense before, but it was actually a proper grinded out performance indicative of a squad that had not downed tools for their manager at all. Brentford bossed possession for sure, even in the first half in which we were 2-0 up, but few people would say we were not worthy of our lead at half time, even Brentford fans.

    We were well under the cosh in the second half, but we were a team favoured for relegation playing away against a team who would end up 13th in the league. When they got their seemingly inevitable second goal, it was a proper blood-and-guts, backs-against-the-wall performance from a team playing for their manager who grinded out the win. And I'm also willing to bet you didn't predict Dowell for Giannoulis as a change before kick-off too.

    It was Brentford though. That's one of the few teams where the swashbuckling no fear approach stood a chance of working, and did that day.

    The decision to sack him had been taken before the game though. And it was a fair enough decision given the dire first 10 games and also taking into account the record worst ever top-flight season in the club's history a couple of seasons before.

    Definitely a lesson to learn though: When you make the decision, do it straight away.

    Absolutely.

    And if you don't make the decision straight away and new evidence presents itself, have the minerals to backtrack on said decision.

    Sadly, that was never going to happen with the busted narcissist we had in charge at the time.

    I suspect you would never have had to endure your hated "Oh but if only we kept Farke" comments on here had Webber binned him off after the Leeds game. Or even the Chelsea game before that.

    Cheers Dan. I read similar about the changes between the 22 and 23 not being that big, so that's why I settled for the cheaper 22. Will have a check on the 21 too.

    If it helps, this is the article that swayed me to save myself a good chunk of cash and go for the S21 over the S22 last year...

    https://www.tomsguide.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s22-vs-galaxy-s21

    That article, and the fact that it gave me a chip with the missus as I could say how much more frugal I was for not splashing out on the same luxurious phone that she felt she needed.

    I wish they would start to use the EFL Cup as some sort of experimental tournament, try being bold with it and garner some interest. Make it a UK Cup and include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Or a British Isles Cup and get Ireland involved. Move the final around so it's not always at Wembley. Restrict the amount of non-domestic players allowed in the matchday squad. Stuff like that. Just do something to make it more appealing. I didn't even know it was on today until the game had finished.

    Is being able to adjust your tactics to suit the opponent not a good thing? As we saw with Farke doggedly sticking to Plan A even if it isn’t working is incredibly naive. It was great when we had one of the best squads in the league, it was suicidal when we had one of the weaker ones in the league above. 

    You'd have a point, except in the games that led to Farke's sacking, he had abandoned his Plan A to play a system and formation he had never done throughout his Norwich career.

    When he reverted back to Plan A (4-2-3-1) against Brentford away, he got a win.

    And then got sacked.

    Top tips lads. Also looking at an S22 for its camera. Thank you.👏

    My missus has the S22. To be honest, it's what inspired me to upgrade from my old Samsung A24, we came back off holiday and looked through the holiday snaps, and the ones from her phone were waaaay better than mine.

    However, there was a much bigger camera upgrade between the S20 and S21 than there was between the S21 and S22. So, whilst the S22 camera is undoubtedly better than the S21, the difference isn't huge, so that's something to bear in mind.

    For me, the S21 camera is more than impressive enough, but then I'm nothing like a photographer, I only use it to snap the kids doing stuff and not for dramatic scenes or anything like that. Although I did get an impressive close up of a courageous Robin in the Peak District a few weeks back.

    I'd recommend something like Back Market and go refurbished. You'll get a way better phone for less money. They come with a 12 month guarantee so if they send you a turd you send it right back. Not that I've ever had that happen.

    Better for the environment too. I'm using a Galaxy S21 that was rated "excellent" condition (basically as new with no marks) that I got for £219. They guarantee a minimal level of battery performance too from memory.

    That's not a correction. What she said the first interview were her own uncoached words; the truth as she saw it. Everything afterwards was coached PR.

    So you'll imply it, but too cowardly to actually say it. No wonder you so angrily attack people for not liking ISIS supporters.

    Cool story bro.

    We all know what you are by this point.

    The interview where what she said fits my viewpoint was the truth

    Corrected that for you.

    To quote Matthew McConaughey's Jake Tyler Brigance in A Time to Kill, "now imagine she's white".

    She said herself. She had no regrets about her time with ISIS, so she obviously didn't suffer with ISIS.

    She's said she'll regret it forever. Or do you just ignore the bits that don't fit your weird little perspective and cling on to the bits that do?

    You're making it quite clear what your attitude is, you have done for a while; your empathy for people and the value you place on them is dictated by their skin tone.

    There's a word for that, you know.

    What she is experiencing is justice. She deserves to suffer.

    If you don't think she has already then you have a higher opinion than I do of these ISIS ****. Bit weird that, given your posting history. Or are you only cross when it's white people who are victims?
