Sounds like very good news if reliable. Hopefully the Holt part will become common knowledge before kick off tonight to rule out any potential booing. Lamberts is going to get cheered to the rafters by both sets of fans regardless.
Twitter? Just the place for major announcements to break, such as Joey Barton's latest pearl of wisdom. I'm discounting it; I just spoke to the blackbird in my back garden and he assured me there's nothing in it.
If they used a coin to choose between what they tweet and the opposite of what they tweet, they'd be right 50% of the time. How many is "many" out of all their tweetings? Do they do better than random guesses?
wouldn't trust them at all. unreliable source. don't appear to realise holt still has two years left regardless
Lionel Messi will join Norwich this summer. Lionel Messi will not join Norwich this summer. I'm gonna toss a coin, whichever option it lands on will be a 50% chance of coming true. By this simple trick we suddenly have a 25% of signing Messi. Result.
If you keep choosing randomly between pairs of exhaustive and exclusive alternatives (tossing a coin to ensure randomness), over time you will be right as often as you are wrong. This tells us zilch about the probability of any individual tweet being correct. We can agree, I suspect, that the probability of Messi signing for the Canaries is, er, approaching zero. But if I want to get myself a reputation on Twitter and decide to Tweet about Messi coming to Norwich, I could do a lot worse than tossing a coin between saying he is or he isn't. On the other hand I would do even better if I simply tweeted obvious truths, such as "Messi not joining Norwich" and avoided tweeting on things I can know nothing about!
But for those of us who can't get to Drury's testimonial, it's more interesting than trolling through cyberspace for any hitherto unnoticed spurious reference to NCFC!
To be honest I hate twitter myself but a colleague (Leicester Fan) passed that info to me and he had no vested interest so took it at face value. The same source dropped the bombshell on Friday and so I took it and passed it on.
But Friday's "bombshell" originated with BBC Radio Norfolk and was picked up by national BBC and the Press Association. Bit different from anonymous twitterati! The BBC may be awful in many respects, but they are more careful than most in checking before they publish. And if they publish gossip, they identify it as such -- they appreciate that gossip keeps the football world going round and their hit numbers high.
I'm not disagreeing robbie, I am the original luddite and all of this normally winds me up. Agree too with your comment about the beeb, the least worst of the various evils.
