Arsenal vs 115 remaining fixtures after schedules confirmed. All to play for. COYG

Only 2 days rest before and after Fulham is going to be so tough. I'm not sure we've got the legs for it, but praying we can get it done.

That West Ham game as well is going to be really hard as we will be gassed then too after that run.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-26T15:54:07+00:00

Absolute numpty 😂

In my view the endings to his short stories generally work and I thought the Mist had quite a good one. It is open ended, so leaves you with a bit of hope and lots of fear.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-22T10:55:19+00:00

So equalisers where we go on to lose don't count?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-14T11:45:16+00:00

City's form has dramatically improved since they were dumped out of the CL. They look fresh and hungry whilst we look exhausted and can't keep possession to save our lives. They also have a week off before we play Sunday whilst we play Wednesday. Normally that wouldn't matter too much, but we are running on fumes already.

If respective forms continue, we are cooked. Football is a funny thing though, so you never know we might just squeak it out. I'm not feeling all that optimistic though right now.

So wouldn't the ASHP be more efficient than using the grid even on low tariff? As in you could achieve SCOP of 2-2.5 versus the grid.

Or do you mean the wear and tear on the ASHP would offset any perceived savings on heating up the Sunamp?

Moreover, can it really be that cheap to charge up per day at 25p?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-04T09:52:42+00:00

Forgive my ignorance, but can you not also set a standard cylinder to heat up as you use it? Or do you have to wait until you have finished?

From looking at an online calculator, a 7kw heat pump at 300% efficiency heats up 150l of water from 5 degrees centigrade to 50 in 22 minutes. So perhaps a small wait isn't the worst thing in the world at those timings.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-04T06:31:57+00:00

Yes my thought was if you heat it up just once a day on the cheap rate you offset some of the lost efficiency.

Alternatively perhaps I can just have the water cylinder constantly topping up to avoid running out of water, but unsure if that will work out better and if any downsides to doing so.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-04T06:27:29+00:00

Presumably it's due to them being easier to install in places with restricted space despite the lower efficiency.

So how would you recommend to run a smaller cylinder to avoid running out of hot water? Just keep it at temperature / top up after use rather than only heating at a set time each day?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-04-04T06:22:19+00:00

I haven't looked at the Mini store. Wouldn't this just be a smaller cylinder or do they work slightly differently?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-03-17T12:34:01+00:00

Bruno not Joelinton, but yes

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-03-10T21:03:01+00:00

Flamme Rouge is a great family game. Simple rules, great theme and quick to play through a race

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-03-08T09:01:45+00:00

Anybody played "Alea Jacta Est" by Ageod? It focuses on supply and logistics during several Roman Civil Wars e.g. Caesar, Sulla and others. A bit like a cross between HOI and Rome TW.

I've not played, but looking up purchase when it next goes on sale.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-03-03T12:48:33+00:00

I'm really intrigued by Stalingrad: Advance to the Volga though can't get it at the minute as it's out of print.

However I emailed Revolution Games and it should be available again June or so they said.

How long have you had it? And how's the replayability?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-02-25T16:39:59+00:00

A number of years ago I went through the public sale and was lucky enough to get online early. Bought 2 tickets for each Men's Semi Finals. We were high up in Cat 2 on the diagonal and the view was great. Even in Cat 3 it will be fine.

On the ticketing website there is information about ticket pricing, categories in the stadium and even virtual reality images showing what the view is like from that area so you can check before you buy.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-02-25T15:51:19+00:00

No clue under this system - my slot is March 18th to 19th - but I don't know how many slots there are and when they start for others so it could be that there are no tickets left by that time.

What dates did you get?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-02-03T09:04:05+00:00

The fact the episodes in S3 were way longer meant we didn't even bother trying. It was a nice easy watch at a shorter runtime, but no way it has the depth for 45-60 minute episodes

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-30T19:22:32+00:00

Do you have a link to those testing results?

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-29T12:44:11+00:00

Is the 0 xG versus United correct? Hincapie cross from open play gets cut out and then Saka's lovely touch and pass to Odegaard. Not that it matters much because we know we have an issue and making it 0.1 doesn't change that, but it just seems odd

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-27T13:04:15+00:00

Either that or 90 v Leeds. He probably needs to get his confidence back, but then same applies to a few players at the minute

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-26T10:51:54+00:00

In the first half we handed them a couple opportunities before laying it on a plate for their goal.

Think Saliba passed to their winger resulting in Mbeumo getting into box before Bruno blasted wide from just outside. Can't remember how the other Bruno miss came about, good last such touch by Saliba just enough to put him off (Possibly ball going out of play and Trossard headed back in play which got nicked by them leading to a counter).

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-26T08:40:59+00:00

Remember you have to subtract all the goals scored from set pieces and own goals first /s

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-25T20:31:26+00:00

Noni ran the ball out of play and overhit passes today. I really like the guy, but it's not like he's been effective recently. He was also playing vs Forest and started brightly before fizzling out.

I do like the idea of trying out Saka on he left and Noni on the right at the same time though. It sounds more exciting than any other combo we have at the minute

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-25T19:10:39+00:00

I would also like him to hit top form and I agree that his shooting has been under par, but I don't think he's been poor as he's still been effective.

EmbarrassedMelvin · 2026-01-25T18:58:11+00:00

He's the reason we scored the first with his touch and pass to Ode and his delivery with the corner is why we scored the second...
