    5 subs rule

    Given that the 5 subs rule is set to continue, I thought this was an interesting article on who the rule might favour: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/jul/29/football-five-substitutes-rule-does-not-benefit-the-big-clubs-and-here-is-why [Apologies if it has already been posted up]

    Gravity

    I read that the US and UK are to stump up no less than £25m to upgrade the The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) from the "Advanced LIGO" phase to the "Advanced LIGO Plus" phase. in order to catch some gravitational waves. Sounds serious. Is that stellar surfing? But...

    Flu remedies

    Currently got flu - don't know which version. Day 6 - don't feel too bad now - but struggling to a) shift nasty repetitive cough b) get past the magic "it's all feeling better from here" point. [Had some evil nights] Resting up in theory not a problem as self-employed and work from home...

    The Dugout - best place for the manager?

    Does anyone think that sitting in the dugout pitchside might not be the best place to see what is going on in the game. [Even if they get a televised feed somewhere in the dugout] I like to sit in different parts of the ground to get a different perspective on the game. And the sense of the...

    WorldChess2016

    I may well be the only person on the board watching the World Chess championship, but even if that is the case I have to say Game 8 today was unbelievable. At the the risk of sounding completely crazy, watching several hours of world championship chess on a computer is as exciting as watching...

    The pressing game

    It doesn't seem that long ago that anything other than 4-4-2 was exotic and continental. Then we had a bit of 4-3-3 and the diamond (i may have missed a few). Now 4-2-3-1 (or a formation with even more people further up the pitch) combined with high pressing is fast becoming the dominant...

    Anyone good at probability?

    Maths help required. I was doing the lottery and my lucky dip ticket gave me four numbers in the 40s. My son (13) said this was less likely to win than a more even spread. I replied that any combination of six numbers had an equal probability of winning. As each was 1/50 - 1/49 - 1/48 etc...

    Do you feel the economy is improving or not?

    There are a lot of mixed messages about the economy at the moment. According to what you read: Problems in China mean that global growth is stalling. But US and UK economy are growing steadily. Wage growth is on the increase. But personal debt is increasing. Interest rates are going up in the...

    4-2-3-1

    4-2-3-1 seems to be a popular system at the moment in the UK (I'm not sure how many teams play it in the Premier) I think it is quite a demanding system in terms of having to have specialist/the right type of players in the right positions. A good #10, which is a difficult position to play...

    Chess World Championship

    Anyone following the chess? (I'm anticipating a chorus of nos) Foolishly thought Anand might have a chance at long odds.. despite Carlsen being the supreme chess being. Now I know why they were long odds.

    Music recording software

    Anybody do music recording here? I'm looking to get an easy to use Digital Audio Workstation. I while back I used early versions of Cubase and Cakewalk, but everything appears to have changed now. My main priorities are ease of use (my son will be learning too). I want it to be reasonably...

    World Chess Championship

    So I know it is probably just me...but anyone else watching or keeping up with the chess--and if you are, who do you think is going to win. I want Carlsen to win, but have a feeling Anand's experience is going tell.

    Playmaker

    Do we need to sign a play maker (to do the job Modric used to)? Maybe we already have one? Or maybe you don't need one to be a top four team? I'm slightly worried that, for all our muscle and energy in midfield we are lacking creativity and someone to run the game for us. Watching us last...

    scandanavian people

    Hi. I'm planning on doing some family holidaying in Scandanavia next year. First time. Might do a combination of rent (if possible) and drive around. Possibly more Norway/Denmark, than Sweden/Finland. Things I'd be interested in knowing: Best time to come -- Easter/May Half Term/Summer...

    StubHub

    As the other ticket thread is locked in classics now there is a bit of the StubHub thing that I don't get. I dislike the whole idea of StubHub, especially as ticket exchange was my preferred method of getting tickets, for myself and my son. It is not so much the money even, but the idea that...

    Restricted view South Lower

    I don't usually sit/stand in the South Lower. Apparently some of the seats in 35 are restricted view, although not behind the goals. Anyone know why? I was planning on taking my young (10yrs) son.
