| Forum Reply | WTF is a head of methodology? at 22:44 22 Jul 2024
Yep...nothing I can really add to this thread that Clive (imho) hasnt already reflected in his excellent Spurs report. Head of Methodology, data analytics, modern transfer analysis - it's all OK, it's all new, it's all a really genuinely good thing while the whole club is in clear and rightful credit with its massively loyal, long-suffering fanbase. But it would take no more than a few heavy defeats to the might of Oxford, Plymouth and Preston to blow the new Methodology sky- high out of the water by November. And appointments like these would then be first in the firing line imho. [Post edited 22 Jul 22:47]

'...behind Jan Mlakar in the Slovenia pecking order'. Really? Flippin 'eck. Excellent report, Clive, and great to be back, but that is the line that stays with me, and haunts me, already. |

Time to Celar-brate - if this has not already been done. Welcome Zan, |

Yep, its really interesting this - the demography of it all more important than the democracy. I guess its too early for detailed data but I do wonder whether, if voting had been limited to the working population only (18-65s only), the Conservatives would literally have been wiped out in Parliament with 0 (zero) seats. Would be no surprise at all - as others have said, a real demographic time-bomb. |

No matter what happens - why does November always seem such a threatening month? Season after season - it always looks the worst. Good omens: Sheff Utd first away game - shades of 2010-11? Sunderland away last day - makes me think of Stan and the FA Cup for some reason. Also think we last opened up against West Brom at home exactly 40 years ago. And I do (vaguely) remember the game on the plastic. A repeat would be nice. [Post edited 26 Jun 9:16]

Yes...I can remain cynical/negative to the last...but that interview appears to be nothing but good news. 24/25 Season-defining good news. |

Maybe we have never been born at all. Its all actually AI invented in Ancient Egyptian times. Keanu Reeves. And nothing that is good ever dies. Or something like that. I read a quote once that you're going to be dead for 80 million years, so sure as hell enjoy this 80. 80M years being the breakdown period of carbon so you actually come back as an amoeba, or something? We're in the 4th Round by then too. |

Just bad optics I guess. Probably best we never knew, especially if he's going to be a (the) key figure at the club in the years to come. Maybe he should come out and just deny it (with fingers crossed behind back....). Head says 'irrelevant', heart says 'not a good feeling'. |
| Forum Reply | What the Hell is happening? at 16:17 28 May 2024
Absolutely...disgraceful behaviour by the club. We need to be told. Bring back the back streets and artificial pitches of Naples (with gunfire in the background by all accounts) and the PE track by the hilly Austrian green fields and river valleys says I. Tbf it all looked very picturesque. |

Might be in a minority of one here - but Budgie useless? Tad harsh IMHO. I remember a good pro, a character and a brave shotstopper under Venables. Maybe rose-tinted from my long-lost youth... |

That's my hope on reflection - just a tad too much of a leap this early, hopefully. But I don't think by much. |
| Forum Thread | De Zerbi.... at 15:54 18 May 2024
Yes, I know....apologies..this might be getting tiresome already. But, by god, if I was on the Brighton board I know who I'd be thinking about. And I don't think Our Man could/would say No... |

Watford and Norwich? Do you still get something in the third year? Not sure. |
