Thread | 1-24 Prediction Competition
at 04:50 2 Aug 2025
It that's time of the year again! Time to start getting rank where. After losing out to a "Supercomputer" we need to buck our ideas up.
Here are the teams:
Birmingham City
Blackburn Rovers
Bristol City
Charlton Athletic
Coventry City
Derby County
Hull City
Ipswich Town
Leicester City
Middlesbrough
Millwal
Norwich City
Oxford United
Portsmouth
Preston North End
Queens Park Rangers
Sheffield United
Sheffield Wednesday
Southampton
Stoke City
Swansea City
Watford
West Bromwich Albion
Wrexham
Sort them into the order you think they will finish before the start of the season (Next Friday, right?)
Good news, I'm getting rid of the draconian formating requests. If you want to put numbers next to teams, dividers for the different zone, that's fine. If you want to call Norwich by their true name (scum) it's no issue. I've even put in a 80% fuzzy checker for those of you who like to spell Middlesbrough Middlesborough.
It's still a hard no to duplicates and missing teams though, so be suitably reckless, not egregiously reckless. [Post edited 2 Aug 5:06]

Thread | Question for religious Town fans...
at 15:53 11 Jul 2025
Context: I'm reading key foundational texts in regards to morality. So, non religious texts like Kant's Metaphysics of Morality. And religious texts like The Bible 1 and 2.
I'm currently reading the Bible 1 and I'm aware people say it is the second one I should focus on for morality. But I'm up to 2 Samuel 21 and read something pretty disturbing and had a few questions.
It says "And there was yet a battle in Gath, where there was a man of great stature that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes. Four and twenty in number; And he was also born to the giant."
So my question is, can Norwich supporters trace their lineage back to giants? If so, should we treat them with more respect - Sons of Gath, etc? Or, as they were the enemies of God's chosen people, does our rivalry have religious significance.
Thanks in advance. |

I can't help but be disappointed. Sure there is a lot of pride, but I just wish the home kit badge wasn't so ugly. I guess the silver lining of changing the kit yearly is we won't have to see it much longer. |

Just done a DNA test (synonym for fact) and it came back that I'm likely 18% Danish. Surely that's enough to inherit the Kingdom of East Anglia? [Post edited 22 Mar 17:23]

I will seriously contemplate a vasectomy if I have one more child or in 5 years if I don't have another. Anyone got this procedure? Any regrets? Any words of wisdom? Crucially, any puns? |

Thread | US pulls military aid to Ukraine...
at 02:44 4 Mar 2025
"We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution".
This was clearly their aim going into the meeting. Pick a fight, pull military aid.
I think we need to expropriate the ~350bn Russian assets. |

Thread | European Summit
at 19:32 2 Mar 2025
What's your verdict?
It's still very early, but seems lukewarm to me. No great movements forward, though going in the right direction. Eg, agreement on using the profits of frozen Russian assets, but not expropriating the whole lot. Or; Setting up a coalition of the willing, but counties still doing their own thing rather than an integrated approach to arms production. Or; Nothing on the German request to expand the nuclear umbrella. Or; Nothing on training Ukrainians within Ukraine.
We might get something on this in the future, we'll see |

Thread | Finally some half decent noise from Europe
at 03:46 22 Feb 2025
1. Donald Tusk says take the Russian money and finance Ukraine with it, more arial support, and a call to boost defence spending.
2. Macron calling from French defense spending to go to 5%.
3. UK rumoured to be moving to 2.5-3% defense spending (better, but not enough). But Reeves still not quite woken up yet, with some of her wishful comments. Should be 2.5% peace time and 5% war time.
4. Talk about Europe building up its industrial defence base as it can't trust the US to maintain kit that it procures from them in this time.
Talk is great of course, but they just need to agree and implement as soon as possible. This US leadership are not our friends. We have to wait at least 4 years before we maybe get someone sane in there. |

But I was sad to see Russell Martin sacked. He was genuinely challenging Derby's 11 point record, and it would have been interesting to see how far he could push it. They were on track to get 11.875 points this season. |

And it was 1-0. We then scored a second and I made the decision not to watch or listen to the game. Didn't dare jinx it. Some risks aren't worth taking in life people. You are welcome... |

Thread | A point
at 18:19 15 Sep 2024
I know a point against any team away from home should be savoured. But I really, really hope we can get three against Southampton.
Even though we have had the toughest fixtures out of the bottom six, it currently looks like we are in a fight amongst those teams and it would be great for confidence if the team can get a win there |

Thread | Post Fulham thoughts
at 05:53 4 Sep 2024
Just watched the Fulham game on TownTV. Some impressive stuff. Interesting that our xg was low, but you could see that we'd do a few good passes and movement and then someone would be slightly behind in thought and movement. I think players will get better and things will sync a bit more. Really happy with the performance.
For me the player of the season so far is Delap. His goal, whilst excellent, was also somewhat fortunate. Leno should have done better. It was all the other stuff he did. If he continues improving he will be awesome for us.
Seeing Phillips and Cajuste on the pitch, knowing they can both get better is a crazy position to be in. Knowing players like Phillips have come here because of KM. But the real marvel is seeing that Morsey is more than at home next to the two of them. Morsy is the best captain since...? Holland? I'm not so sure maybe it goes back further. Who was the previous captain who was definitely better for us?
Anyway, sorry I'm late to the party. Can't wait to see how we get on against Brighton. |
