Wow, those stats are wild! I guess Postecoglu gets more latitude in the media because at least he’s not publicly bearing his players and disrupting the changing room.
Also factor in that Ten Hag has managed to win a major trophy (FA Cup, last season). Whereas Postecoglu hasn’t. Tottenham’s last trophy of note was the League Cup back in 2007/08.
One-nil to the Arsenal. With some of our key midfielders missing and Arteta having to rework the lineup, against a good opposition at their place, in one of the most fiercely-contested derbies in the world. Great result for us!
I was looking into something similar recently, and asked around on Lemmy. The general consensus I heard was that a Mini PC weren’t ideal, mostly I think due to the fact that they aren’t designed purely for streaming.
One think someone said piqued my interest, and I might try this. They recommended buying a cheap, Android TV compatible streaming box (like an Onn brand one), and side-loading an open source (and ad-free) launcher onto it.
I found this thread over on the Huffman Shitshow that had some good instructions.
Tip for those creating new communities: don’t slam your fresh community with loads of new posts all at once. Pace yourselves. Create 2 or 3 new posts initially. Then over the next day pop a new post every few hours.
The net result is the same (content!), but you greatly reduce the risk of people blocking your community. I look a lot in local, sorting by new. And when my feed is deluged by posts for the same brand new community, I tend to block that community because it’s smells like spam. And I’m probably not alone in doing this.
The instance name is perfect for this community, haha.
Good points.
Seems a little bit heavy on forwards and light on midfielders.
I guess now we’ll find out how true it is. Hopefully they keep him… And next season they continue with their league form and not their cup form.
On a related note: Why couldn’t you register that loss in one of your last league matches, Man City, you bastards!
Chelsea’s owners: “We’re going to axe/refuse to cooperate with a widely respected manager who dragged us into Europe with a ramshackle squad after a really rough start! I bet nobody else would do something this crazy!”
Man United’s owners: “Hold my beer!!!”
Seriously though, at least wait until after cup final before hinting at such a decision! How is this not going to totally unsettle their squad for a big match? Why don’t they just concede the cup to Man City before kickoff and be done with it!
It’s pretty wild that their current manager and two of their very recent former managers have all criticized the club’s and the fans’ mindset. Not a good sign at all. There are some profound psychological problems at that club.
I have no basis for this theory, but I still believe that the FA and/or PGMOL deliberately fucked up the implementation and use of VAR as much as they could, so that after a few seasons it would be scrapped.
Eh, I’m okay with it if that happens. They aren’t really worthy rivals anyway, and haven’t been for most of the past 25-30 years.
But you’re right, as things stand I can see them struggling in general in the near future.
I feel bad for Postecoglu. I don’t think he fully realized what he was getting himself into.
I don’t have a direct answer to your question. But I advise caution in putting your creative works online in the way you are planning. Between people plagiarizing it (either word for word or just the broader concepts) and AIs doing similar things, you could find that your work gets stolen.
Self-publishing might at least give you a bit of inherent copyright protection. Then at least you will have an ISBN associated to it, and you can always host your stories somewhere (WordPress, Medium, etc.).
If you want to self-publish your stories a free service like Smash Words would work.
This sounds like my old place, but much worse.
We used to have laptops we had to lock in a cabinet (yeah, one of those cabinets with a really puny lock that’s easy to pick). And we had to log into n old mainframe system that had numerous environment instances which each required a unique password that had to be changed every 90 days.
We (the software devs) basically rebelled on the laptop situation and insisted they find a better solution. Thankfully they changed policy and of allowed the laptops to be locked into our docking stations, which in turn were locked to our desks.
As for the mainframe system credential management, I tried using a standard third party password manager, but a) it wasn’t a good fit for the credentials, and b) the sys admins or security team forcibly uninstalled it because it wasn’t sanctioned software (even though it was a well-respected and actively maintained one). And our security group refused to go out and find one.
So being a dev, I wrote my own desktop password manager for the mainframe credentials. It was decently secure, but nowhere near as secure as a retail password manager. But it fit the quirks of the mainframe credentials requirements. And after my colleagues and manager did a code review of it, it was considered internal software, and thus fit for use.
As I was leaving they were in the process of removing all our local admin rights (without a clear path on how to accommodate for us developers debugging code - fun times ahead!).
But all of those annoyances pale in comparison to the shit you are having to deal with! Holy hell, that sounds like pure misery! I’m sorry.
Eh, not very good trolling for some of these. For example, out of all those teams, many Arsenal fans will feel like Munich is an okay option. Not that they are easy or a sure win (nobody is easy in the QFs). But given their form this season, we at least have a chance against them.
Arsenal with the young ambitious manager and young squad and we’re cast as Chick Hicks? Get outta here!
I’m getting a very familiar vibe from those cats…
Yeah, most of the professional referees don’t even have a handle on consistently enforcing the current rules. Adding this set of rules is like giving a dysfunctional, unstable person a baby to care for. It will only make things worse for everyone involved.
It happens every once in a while.
Yes, it’s great to see him still in the top flight. Brighton seems like the perfect place for him - talented team, high energy, well-managed, and he can provide the squad with valuable experience.
He missed a sitter earlier in the game, but such is the way with Danny.
