I wonder if part of that is that they actually enjoy the increase in controversy. Players, coaches and fans get annoyed by it but you can see how pundits and TV coverage commoditise all the drama; maybe it actually leads to higher viewing figures.

They talk about a high bar for interventions but a big part of the problem is that for some types of incidents it really isn't a high bar. At times they seem determined to disallow goals; but then at other times they seem incredibly eager to give penalties, and will ignore incidents in the...

He's got all the attributes you could want but the signs were there when he was with us that his form was volatile. His head goes down, he probably needs to be in the right team with the right manager who gives him the love he needs. Being one of many good players at Ipswich maybe isn't the best...

Apart from the workforce of his failed company that he was able to get away with laying off with nothing while he kept all the assets so he could have another go at it. Or the kids who he booted out of the arena and then sold their trampolines on eBay. He did some good and some bad things and...

Some posts on the last couple of pages definitely seem pant-pissy to me. People asking "why the club are doing this" (they haven't done anything yet that we know of except reject bids for Hughes), someone saying they "dread to think" what the squad will look like after the window closes (it's...

Depends what you mean exactly, it's a big topic to cover fully. I think a lot of people saying it are just wishing for a trend that validates what they've been feeling. We're unlikely to see an end to teams playing goal kicks short any time soon. And we're unlikely to see teams just punting it...

People have been saying that and wishing it to be true for about two years now.

Famewo still being out with this "kick to the calf" is a really poor look at the start of his City career, when he's arrived with a notably poor injury record. Destan being perennially a week away is becoming a bit suspect too.

That's a good point. I suspect we could do before the window closes.

As far as I'm aware, there still isn't any explanation for the key issues at the heart of this: - Why the club couldn't meet its payment obligations for Louie Barry, but then could do almost immediately once it became a story - Why we then failed to make a payment for Fin Burns after our payment...

Which makes me wonder, are we getting our wage structure right? If, as it seems, we can't sign extra defensive cover or a third keeper because of the wage cap, then you have to wonder whether we could've spent less across the board. The flipside is we wouldn't have had McBurnie and Lundstram who...

There were plenty of negatives to yesterday but I thought that a real positive was that McBurnie showed again that we really do have a proper striker now. Obviously he fed of scraps but when we got the ball up to him he caused trouble, won things in the air, created space for Joseph when he was...

It was Steve Jordan today. Last week it was the club's social media guy doing a stint.

That 'confirmation' from the German end was quoting Baz as a source though, so it's all from our end really.

I've wondered the same about Famewo's injury in particular. He comes with a poor injury record and he's straight out with "a kick to his calf". Did McLoughlin and Jones never get a kick in training or did they maybe play through it when it happened? It's harsh to assume anything but you have to...

The good thing is we have got our business done earlier this year. We're not scrambling for a whole attack with the season underway like we have been in recent years. We need a midfielder and we'd ideally get two or three others if we could but only the midfielder is really important.

I think it's dramatically exaggerated the extent to which LLMs can write useful software. They know the syntax, they can write coherent lines. But creating software requires much more thinking than that. Good software developers are mindful of a lot of things beyond just writing a line of code...

I've noticed that often when they don't know something they fill in the gaps with the most generic waffle, which can really miss the point of what it's been asked. Not sure why they aren't better at just saying when they don't know something!

Again it's weirdly black and white this Kamara thing. Can't people accept that yes, he obviously is a talented player, and yes, he obviously does have a weird style that makes it reasonable to question whether he's 100% committed. I can understand arguing the extent of it and I think there is a...
