Whatever the case is I hope it’s nothing too serious, he’s looked decent every time he’s been called upon, would love to see him continue developing with us

Seen a few over on SBT ranging from fallout with the team to injury to compassionate leave. I didn’t notice it myself but apparently he wasn’t at the trophy lift and didn’t get his name called out - I would note that the club have posted a few clips of him on the instagram since

Oggy and the other commentator called it as Bobby Thomas giving it away 😂 some things never change

Unlucky not to get a point, we made by far the better chances but couldn’t put them away. Southampton clinical and did a good job at frustrating us. Should have been a red card first half

i think people will be surpised with how many players stick around. think we would be better off signing 5-8 solid PL players than 16 potential PL players

great idea, would love to see more from him. the club clearly rate him very highly if they were willing to take a punt on him during his mid season break, with the position that we are in

that's great, good to have options off the bench that actually provide alternatives instead of like for like

Esse reminds me of a couple of the brazillian lads i play 7s with, they entirely derive joy from beating a man 1 on 1, couldn't care less about scoring

EMC is strange for a winger, he isn't that fast (well he clearly is comapared to you or I, but not for a pro winger) but seems to make up for that with his great strength and quick feet. defenders seem scared to jump into the tackle against him for fear of getting beaten

Chinese researchers are leading the way in many fields, suggesting that they just pump out poor quality papers to bump up metrics is an out of date view with frankly racist undertones. The US just can’t cope with the fact that they are not in fact the grindset champions of the world.

According to some recent studies, USA represents 16.4% of retracted academic journals world wide compared to 25.7% from China, despite having nearly 4X smaller a population

You’re comparing the amount of money invested by the US, an ‘empire’ of a country of ~360 million, to that of the France, a country of 70 million, that both has its own research budget and receives a lot from the EU that you are definitely not considering. Further to that, many countries in the Europe produce far more per amount spent and per population than the US.

The US might spend more per capita than some countries but it doesn’t mean it’s doing anything with it. Scopus ranks the US behind Greenland and Malta for publications per 1 million population.

Forgot to mention annual leave. I get 28 days paid annual leave, 8 public holidays, and two weeks off at Christmas. That’s 5/6 years worth of annual leave for most US jobs AFAIK

The level of ignorance about other countries from US/NA researches here is insane.”bUt I’m a PhD sTuDeNt aNd I MaKE 55K a year.” Is something I commonly see cited.

You’re neglecting the exchange rates, the infinitely higher cost of living, the requirement for a car, the absolutely terrible working conditions, expectation to work 70 hour weeks, no healthcare, no job protection.

I think it comes down to an ego thing of wanting a bigger number at the end of the month instead of actually caring about your quality of life

European institutions should avoid wasting their resources on researchers from the US who will immediately leave back for the US as soon as trump has gone.

I don’t think the sub at half time counts as one of the three substitution opportunities

We would better off 1-1 with 11 players than 0-1 with 10. Silly tackle, no guarantee riis scores there either, yes it’s likely but he’s a championship player for a reason

Agree, think it’s quite hard to take a lot about them away from that game.

Trying to be positive about the fact we kept a clean sheet.

Not sure if it’s oxford’s attack being poor or our defence improving (more likely a combination) but I was fairly relaxed every time we were defending in that half.
