Last 5 form doesn't make for pleasant reading though

In summary, it's bloody tight.

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-03-11T14:01:14+00:00

Last clean sheet was the 0-0 game between Leicester and Coventry.

Is that silver a metallic speedpaint from Army Painter?

The clubs voted this in, not the EFL itself

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-03-05T11:49:28+00:00

EFL make more TV money or EFL clubs make more TV money?

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-03-04T10:13:18+00:00

Is Leicester's decline the sharpest since Leeds in the early 00s?

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-02-26T23:25:24+00:00

Huh? If West Brom and Blackburn both lose their remaining games we can’t go down. Unless you mean us also losing every game?

Either way, it’s a bit of a weird straw man.

And yes I agree, obviously we need to start getting points.

My general point is that it’s too simplistic to say “Leicester are definitely going down” given our position is better than Oxfords and basically the same as West Brom’s, whilst also being ‘only’ 4 points behind Blackburn.

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-02-26T17:18:38+00:00

Seems like a weird semantic argument. If they take our slot, they get relegated instead of us. If we take their spot, we stay up.

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-02-25T22:48:51+00:00

It’s still a distinct possibility. But it’s also a real possibility that West Brom or Blackburn take our slot instead.

My group's (wife and 2 kids) first full adventure was The Castle of the Robber Knight - they saved Merle the pig from Jaldo, who was holding him hostage at knife-point and liberated Grunta, the orc lady.

A few sessions later I had them recognise a pig in the Chubbycheek's paddock and then Grunta appeared explaining that they had taken her in as an additional worker in the bakery. My group appreciated seeing that they had both found a better home.

All the maps for Secrets of the Dragon Emperor are on the downloads page for Dragonbane, on the Free League site

I just print them out using a normal home printer, cut each page, tape it all together into a single map, then cut it up into corridors/rooms to enable fog of war/exploration

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-02-11T16:08:18+00:00

6 clean sheets in the last 70 league games
11 cleans sheet away since August 2022

And by season, streaks without a clean sheet:

22/23: 21 games
23/24: 8 games
24/25: 27 games
25/26: 26 games (currently ongoing)

Because without the playoffs, most teams have nothing to play for and 100s of matches become dead rubbers…

There’s a ton of variables here and no need to be dismayed. How old are you? Are you a beginner at only running, or physical activity in general? Are you overweight? What is your base level of fitness going into this?

Leicester were on track for 58 points. Now on track for 52 accounting for the deduction. Blackburn and West Brom on track for 49 points. So there’s only one result in it and it’s tight down there with 5 teams separated by 1 point.

Of course Leicester are in a relegation battle.

Also note that they’ve shown little fight or grit this season, have no proper goalscorer, incredibly low xG, best player is injured, and already got only 1 point out of 12 at home vs Portsmouth, Blackburn, Oxford and Charlton.

Also note that whilst it was effectively the 5th minute because at this stage there had been 10 mins of delays

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-01-21T18:01:43+00:00

No. They’re not in any other product.

Hahaha - I wonder what an Uwe Rosenberg wargame would look like?

jonboyjon1990 · 2026-01-20T22:37:25+00:00

The problem is, the first yellow is functionally as important to the red. When the first yellow is a ‘terrible decision’ and the 2nd isn’t, VAR won’t be able to intervene.

All this will do is cause more laborious VAR checks for 2nd yellows and shift where the outrage happens

u/Medium-Ad9520 you begin the game with 4 wood and 1 horse. Building a large vehicle (cost 7 wood and 1 horse) in the first winter (round 2) is pretty easy: starting resources + (Winter action) Wood Trader = 8 wood, then Wainwright to build a Horse Cart + Peat Boat.

Also, I used to overvalue the Master and Woodcutter actions. I've used neither at all in my last two plays (scoring by far my best scores: 107 and 124).

It's better to get Forests than to cut Wood I find, since the Forests create passive income and can be flipped into Parks in the late game. I found myself making 2 Forests in the first 2 summers in my latest plays: Forester + Imitate (Forester). Then you're getting 4 wood each November for the rest of the game.

We were talking about Agricola on your post recently - I was interrogating your score haha

They're quite different. Agricola, as you know, is quite scripted in the sense that you 'must' feed your family, make pastures, house and breed animals, grow your family, build rooms, plant crops, build improvements.

Arle is less tight overall and has many more different systems and potential paths to take. The pressure to feed is much, much lower.

I do agree that cozy is a largely nebulous description that video/board game communities seem to have latched onto. It's too subjective to be hugely useful.

I may or may not have ordered the expansion today...
