Yet another example of something - like 95% of most peoples output on there - that would get you a firm slap if you were to ever say in person but has become the norm due to a lack of consequences.
There's a great example last week where ex-NFL player for the Eagles, Jason Kelce, was walking to a game and was followed by a group of young lads filming him on their phones and shouting after him. One of them repeatedly shouting into the back of his head how his brother is a fa**ot. In the end he turned around, grabbed the kids phone and smashed it on the ground.
A few days later Jason Kelce was on TV having to apologise for his actions, and that same little prick is probably taking him to court for damages and hurt feelings... In this case it's a shame he only got a broken phone, and not bodyslammed into the earths core, but it's a perfect example of someone that's been used to saying whatever they want on social media or playing online video games, that they forget in the real world someone might turn round and throat punch you. |

I've been blocking and muting on Twitter for ages and up until the last year or so it worked pretty well. The problem is that when there's a subject getting engagement, it's relentless, and my entire feed will be dedicated to that for days at a time from all sorts of accounts I don't want to hear from, and it's like whack-a-mole trying to stop the latest shite.
There's also LOADS of horrible and needlessly cruel or OTT shit on there - from the left and right. People fighting, 'paedo hunters' that are worse than the nonces, onlyfan brasses, clips from a million podcasts of incel men and fúcking content begs, political grifters using agencies and working the algorithm to monetise division, people screaming blue murder because someone that looks like Steve Cook in a dress was called sir at Starbucks, staged arguments and 'pranks', replies from @RANDOMNAME3333782727 bots that are exclusively programmed to be contrary, people with British flags in their bio's posting pics of the Blitz yearning to go back to 'better times', people with Palestine flags in their bio telling you you're hateful scum for watching Harry Potter, and then a wider group of people that have spent so long in this hateful little space that their default is to pick fights with anything and everything.... You spend enough time on there you'll find you start falling into the same space - needless arguing and spite. The whople place is insidious.
While I'm on one - there's also an entire generation of people that have grown up with direct access to thousands of others and have lived, up to this point, with almost no consequences at all. They're all empowered through anonimity and political rhetoric to think they have a given right to say what they want and abuse people. Twitter has become a haven for all of that kind of stuff and although I only get a taste of it as mostly an observer rather than contributor, I can't imagine the shit most higher profile people deal with every single time they use it.
I left FB years ago, but I stayed with Twitter as I like the 10% that's NFL updates, funny Simpsons memes, movie discussions and jokes about Eurovision, 6ft 18 year olds and Gary Barlows massive son... I'd love to find a place that can give me more of that. |

If that even is the situation, which I doubt, but then conjecture is all we've got - that and our 'competitive advantage' [Post edited 7 Nov 18:10]

I'm sure this seasons flurry of injuries is absolutely nothing to do with the fact the medical expert from last season Ben Williams has a new role.
It might be nice to know if we're replacing him in some way - once the club acknowledges his situation - but that's probably another need to know basis thing for us lowly fans.
Just the 1300 travelling to Leeds on Saturday btw. [Post edited 7 Nov 18:02]

I also really love the tactic of having Madsen outside the box for corners and free kicks into the area. 6ft 4 and stood 30 yards from goal? It's the last thing they'll expect. |

What's Upset You Now?

Featuring our own Seann Walsh, it's him and long term friend and fellow career stand up Paul McCaffrey who basically rant about all the things that are shit and annoying in life. Episodes are 15-20mins but there's unedited versions of around 1 hour on Patreon.
It's genuinely very funny and relateable, and they also have an additional weekly episode with a guest - often a comedian - who gets the chance to sound off. Strong recommend. |

Not saying that's not part of it, and he's been a key element in some of our best teams and performances in recent years, but in certain games that require us to have more of the ball, be progressive, get forward through midfield, he just can't do it...
I'd be interested to see his stats for assists, or even progressive forward passes. You could argue it's not his job, but if you're playing in central midfield - especially as a two - you need more than to be just a shield.
Also to caveat this, I'm a big fan of Field, I love what he does for us and his consistency and commitment to the cause is something we need more of generally. But I do think he's very limited and when he doesn't have to do more than just the things he's good at - like when he plays as a defender - he (and we) look better for it. [Post edited 4 Nov 1:42]

Echo the positives for Sam in this thread, but I have to say I think we look better in midfield without him... He's both one of the best in the team without the ball and one of the worst with it - CB/LCB suits him I think, and I am more than happy with him filling in there for JCS as necessary. |

For someone that doesn't particularly like scary films, I've seen and really loved quite a lot that would be considered horror (or / horror)...
- Scream
- Aliens
- Silence of the Lambs
- 28 Days Later (pretty much any zombie or vampire film tbf)
- The Thing
- Event Horizon
- Terminator
- Jaws
- The Ring
- A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
- Pans Labyrinth
- Cabin in the Woods
- Attack the Block
- Green Room
More recently It Follows, Upgrade and Train to Busan make my list, Train to Busan is probably my all time (actual) zombie film - strong strong recommend [Post edited 27 Oct 19:20]

Most appearances coming at the end of games we're already struggling in, for a team that hasn't figured out a system or way of playing - especially with going forward. Getting a striker thaty lands on his feet and is Championship standard is, more than almost any position, extremely rare. We've seem the benefit of Frey having time, etc.
I'm not saying he has looked great, because he hasn't, but we're 10 games in and his total minutes probably isn't close to half that. Let's cut him some slack. |

Before the season started I thought it would be the year for Lamar and the Ravens to finally do it, and I still think they have what it takes to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, but it's daunting for the league (and non-Chiefs) that KC keep winning with their injuries and generally poor offensive play...
Aside from them, there looks to be a lot of really fun wildcard and divisional play off teams this year. GB and Vikings look good, Lions are a problem for anyone, Bills adding Cooper is a big help, Houston will be in the mix. Even my Washington Commanders could make an appearance! Very hard to call how this one ends |
