Nuff Said

HAVE YOU?

Invariably? I’m not a meteorologist, but I suspect something like 90% of them are something like 90% accurate. For myself, I get annoyed when people fail to either acknowledge that their biases mean they tend to ignore evidence that what they believe isn’t true and use binary language about things that are much more nuanced. But I need to learn to accept it because that’s modern discourse these days.

When they say “super”computer what does this mean? From a quick look, for most teams, Sunderland, Leeds and Oxford excepted, their predicted place is within one or two of where they are now. Not exactly earth shattering, it seems very heavily weighted to results to date.

Three from Norwich:

He’ll obviously be getting Lakey’s vote.

I think because it was Larkin there was a a thin veneer of intellectualism to disguise it. 😜

Me neither but that’s what I’ve been hearing - “he hates ****ing Ipswi-i-i-i-ich“.

I stand with Herman! 💪 It’s pretty much the first thing I thought of when I heard his name (Borja that is, not Herman). Edit: and the chant is pretty poor, especially the way “Ipswich” has to have an additional six syllables inserted. I can’t see it changing now though.

Good to see he’s following in the steps of another striker who ended up famed for his defensive skills at NCFC, the legendary Ginger Pele.

Now that the tone is lowered, that reminds me of one of my favourites. I spent years thinking it was Spike Milligan, but it’s actually Derek and Clive: Oh little Flo I love you so Especially in your nightie When the moonlight flits Across your t**s Oh Jesus Christ almighty

It’s a no from me too. I’ve been mildly tempted a couple of times to buy one, but the price makes me recoil. Plus as Angry says, I’d rarely wear it, it doesn’t really fit in with my suave, debonair man-about-town image.

But I thought THE LEAGUE SHEDULE DOES NOT MAKE LIFE EASY FOR THE CANARIES?

For starters, we scored four goals, they conceded four. So we appear to be the complete opposite.

You make good points, but part of building a team, especially for a sporting director, is longer-term strategy. It could be argued the transfer window in question could have been spot on in terms of giving us a base of young players with potential who would grow into their roles. Businesses talk about 30, 60 and 90 day plans. It was the 30 day plan, immediate survival, which as you say is where the recruitment failed. Ironically , in his last season with us, Webber decided to bet the house on (relatively) expensive players with experience in a sh1t or bust gamble to get immediate promotion, leaving us saddled with high wages for several years.

I’m reading Dracula at the moment. Considering its age, it’s a surprisingly entertaining read.
