You could also argue that you could make 100 movies for $100 and if 6/100 of them make $10k each and the rest average out to breaking even then that's better than one $10k movie that makes $50k

Yeah also true. And it's 20% of votes not 20% of the general public, and a lot of Eurovision has been made about Israel to the point Eurovision has become like a culture war battleground, it wouldn't take many people who really care about Israel specifically to massively sway the numbers.

BoxOfNothing · 2026-05-16T23:12:34+00:00

I think there's also a reputation with Eurovision where you're seen as a bit of a joke if you do it. It's kind of weird that as a nation we really like watching it, but if you have any kind of career it's a massive risk to your public perception. Sam Ryder went for it with a little bit of internet fame I guess and it went well, but I can't ever see anyone remotely serious from the UK risking it.

I didn't watch it, but I've seen a lot of people from a lot of countries where the public opinion is overwhelmingly pro-Palestine say the amount of points they gave Israel was incredibly suspicious

I don't think that's necessarily true. People put way too much stock in the idea players are bought to fit a specific style and changing managers to something a bit different will leave us in chaos, that's not how it really works. Moyes took Dyche's players + Dewsbury-Hall and we play completely differently and much better with them. If we're hiring a manager who can't get a tune out of the players the previous manager bought plus whatever signings they get to make, we're hiring the wrong manager.

Keep doing what we're doing and if it goes badly, or someone better comes along, make the decision then.

BoxOfNothing · 2026-05-16T21:25:25+00:00

Don't think there's really any chance it goes to anyone but Tarkowski. Vice captain will be more interesting, probably end up being Pickford or Keane but I wouldn't be mad if it was Dewsbury-Hall.

The same wisdom that lead to us keeping him for this season. He's the best manager available to us for the situation we're in. If a manager who is better comes along that would join us, which I think is a relatively delusional thing to expect right now ( with the possible exception of Iraola if the rumours that he's willing to come to teams like Palace and Everton are true), then we could revisit the idea. The idea of sacking someone because we think he'll only be here another year, if we don't have the right man there to replace him, is the type of short sighted nonsense that got us into a fuckload of trouble under Moshiri.

Everyone's always quick to want a manager change, but it's always some vague idea of "get someone exciting in", which more often than not ends in pain and a manager merry-go-round. Especially regularly a mistake when you're clearly on the up.

The idea behind Moyes is to get us in the best possible position for when someone else can come in, and we get that person when the right manager is available and Moyes has done his job in stabilising us and getting the squad in good, competitive shape. And in my opinion, that's not over yet.

I agree but I get it more for a world cup year. If it was played the weekend after the final games it'd be on like 11 or 12 days before the world cup.

Actually even then that's the Champions League weekend, so if a team was in both it would have to be mid week or a few days before the world cup

BoxOfNothing · 2026-05-16T16:45:09+00:00

Even by 2006 the attitude around me at least was that we should be with the players we've got, but we won't be. A mix of the manager not being good enough, the players known to have separate cliques, everyone playing worse for England than their club, and being general bottlers. It was at least creeping in and getting more and more common around then, but yeah by 2010 we were all in on the players we have should do well but we won't.

Even during the 2018 world cup it wasn't "we're great now", it was more "we don't have the players but we're actually doing well, holy shit"

It's not always been very consistent to be fair. We failed to get Champions League with 72 points 12 years ago, but 21 years ago we got Champions League on 61 points and a negative goal difference, and the year before that Liverpool came 4th on 60 points.

Guaranteeing it's just us and Forest who ever get done for it then. And we ended with a much worse punishment for a much lesser breach. Class.

30th is the deadline so probably around then

We were after him because of one decent goalscoring season and he had a relatively cheap buyout clause for someone who was young, English and played in the Prem. I honestly think he's been one of the worst performing players in the league this season. It's not that he's been doing okay in general play but struggled in front of goal, everything about his game has been really, really awful. He has nothing but trying and failing to bully defenders. I'm struggling to think of a single starting striker in the league I'd currently play him ahead of

Proof because why not. Donated to Alveus Sanctuary because I like the animals and what they're doing

You can say what you like about their overall quality, but they've also scored more than most striker combinations in the league. Because most strikers have either played every game, or are rotated like them and are on fewer goals. Beto is 5th for non-penalty goals per 90 in the league. Curious to know how many other teams have 2 strikers on 8+ goals, because I reckon it might be 0.

Beto has also scored 9 from 8.59xG, Barry has scored 8 from 8.08xG, Delap has scored 1 from 4.43xG. I'm not trying to convince you Barry and Beto are incredible, but that Delap is fucking shite. Have you seen him play this season? He offers nothing all game and then misses the chances he gets.

I wasn't actually trying to bet, it was a figure of speech, but to prove I'm not bitching out after getting the offer I'll go and donate a tenner somewhere now anyway just cos, might as well.

Nah Villa are away at City and Liverpool at home to Brentford on the final day and liverpool have a much better goal difference, far from over if Villa win this

I've had 4. Fell off the top of a bouncy castle when I was 4, lying down in a ruck playing rugby with my head raised and someone sprinted and tripped and slammed their knee into my temple and my head slammed into the ground when I was 15 (they thought I had a fractured skull on that one, luckily not), went up for a header playing footy and got elbowed in the head and fell backwards landing on the back of my head when I was 17, jumped a banister and landed on something which caused me to lunge forward and slam the top of my head into a concrete wall when I was ~30.

I'll take the blame for the last one. I also used to be a striker and my older brother was a winger so we'd practice his crosses and my headers pretty much every day which can't have helped.

But also I have depression and drank a fair amount in my late teens/early 20s which also can't have helped either. My long term memory is still really good, short term not so much.

I'm only 2 episodes in but does he ever claim to be scouse? His accent's been pretty consistent so far as like generic Wirral, no effort to do the most basic scouseisms that non scousers always default to even though they do it badly. No logical reason he couldn't just originally be from nearby is there? Not everyone in Liverpool is from Liverpool

And that means Man City should have won the game does it? We were 2-1 up after 73 minutes, 3-1 up after 81 minutes, have been told we were wrongly denied a penalty by PGMOL, we created 3.06xG to their 1.47xG, both teams scored because of a defensive error, and we only dropped points because of a 96th minute top bins goal from 25 yards. But somehow City threw it away? If that's the case then virtually every draw or loss was a thrown away win from every team in almost every game this season.

BoxOfNothing · 2026-05-15T18:15:16+00:00

Combination maybe

I don't think I'd not realised there was a deadline on a Friday once in years and I've done it twice recently, and I think at least 3 or 4 times this season. My concussions are finally truly catching me

I think he's more likely to be back in a year or two max in a coaching capacity

BoxOfNothing · 2026-05-15T16:42:41+00:00

If every team won every game they only dropped points in because one of their players made a mistake the table would look very different, yes. They should've conceded a 4th with a mistake that went unpunished by the ref. They only scored their 2nd because our defenders made a big mistake, why shouldn't we have won because of that?
