1  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Calderwood on: June 04, 2025, 22:38:45 pm
I've always been a fan of Calderwood and grateful we've been able to employ him, thanks to his roots in the town.
At least he keeps the Ipad sales up with his frustration at games.

The rise of the Reform Party is an interesting phenomenon.
Politicians dance around it, but let’s be realistic, it’s the party for thick people. There’s nothing wrong with being thick, and it should be regarded the same as being fat. We should not fat shame; so in the same way, we should not thick shame.
However, if you are both fat and a supporter of the Reform Party, you are stretching it a bit.

I got the bit about the hair and beard correct, he now models himself on Clint Eastwood.  Lets just see if he has learned his lesson.
I look forward to any wetwipes mentioning his real name.

It's incredible what a difference hair can make.
He's gone from thug to be avoided at all costs when on public transport to affable geography student.

It's a great book. It's not until you read it that you realise we have so many unwritten rules that must appear bizarre to those not brought up in England, let alone the nuance of our language.
 
If you want to widen out a bit, I would suggest Sapiens by Yuval Noah Hahari. It's a fantastic history of us humans

This happens frequently.

I mean how many other sports can you win by scoring one?
This is different to being first in a race. There are many opportunities to score in a game and the low score means the opponent is still in the game even though they have been overall the lesser side

Two questions for you.

1. If they are trying to escape oppression, war, famine etc. How come only 23% are female?

2. If they are trying to escape oppression, war, famine etc. Why don’t they settle in the first safe country they come to?

1. They are aware of the dangers of the journey, so the younger males often go ahead.
2. The vast majority do so, with 73% staying in the neighbouring country. Of the 43.4 million global refugees, only 91,000 sought asylum in the UK.

It's essential to recognise that these individuals are all human beings. You are no better than them because you were born in a different country.

Todays results show possession means very little, Man City had 78.3% and Notts County 73.2% and they couldn't muster a goal between them.

I would suggest one game shows little. It takes a season of games for the better sides to percolate to the top - or sink to the bottom.
How many other games can you win by scoring one?
11  The Hotel End / Other Football & Sport / Re: FA Cup on: May 17, 2025, 21:23:37 pm
Let's face it, they aren't going to win anything this season.

It was always City's strength in depth that enabled them to stay at the top of the Premier League and win a variety of cups along the way. The vast amount of money available to all clubs has meant others have caught up with them.
I can't think of any other competition in any sport where there are so many with a chance of winning. There are 1.87 billion followers worldwide, so let's all enjoy what is a golden era for English football.
12  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Thoughts on the season. on: May 10, 2025, 20:31:08 pm
Once something ceases to be enjoyable, stop doing it. Would be the obvious thing to say. Football, whether it be the game, or the what surrounds it, rarely stands up to any rational scrutiny. As a supporter of any club, you have very little influence over anything to do with the end product. But I am still enjoying the Cobblers. And quite excited by at what Kev puts together for us for next season.

Very little? I suggest none, and that's the beauty of being a supporter. Ok, we pay for our tickets each season, but that's the limit to my contribution; the rest is up to the club.
13  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Tarique Fosu on: May 05, 2025, 20:21:14 pm
I want us to offer him a contract. I know that he's very much flattered to deceive this season, but after being completely omitted from the side by Nolan, from the outside looking in it looks like he worked hard to get fit and get back into the team towards the end of the season.

He's an exciting player to watch, he's a potential game changer and with the right management and coaching to keep him focussed then we have a very good player on our books.

Whatever happens, this could be a pivotal season for his football career.

I agree; he's no Aaron McGowan, but every team should have a luxury player when we are trying to unlock a defence, and Tariqe is as good as most.
14  The Hotel End / Other Football & Sport / Re: Northampton Saints 2024/25 on: May 05, 2025, 15:50:20 pm
Congratulations to the Saints on reaching the European final. That's a fantastic achievement.
Anyone going?
15  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Mitch Pinnock on: May 05, 2025, 15:42:56 pm
He's a "Consummate professional". As quoted post-match to Tim Oglethorpe by... M Pinnock.
16  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Wigan Athletic - last game on: May 05, 2025, 14:22:02 pm
I appreciate it's a low bar, but the ref had possibly the most flamboyant haircut in the league and he's named Neil Hair.
17  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Tarique Fosu on: May 05, 2025, 14:15:46 pm
The problem for Fosu is that his style of play and contribution make it difficult for him to have a “solid” game. He either produces moments of magic or loses possession. This means he’s either vying for man of the match or judged a waste of space.
18  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: The Rise of Sam Hoskins on: April 20, 2025, 20:46:51 pm
Sam never really come to life until a few years back. But since then he has been a genuine asset. In terms of interest in him. He has probably learnt a few lessons from other departures over the last few years, who on the whole have gone on to be bench warmers. I'm pretty sure that if the club had received any significant offers, he'd be gone.

We complain there is no loyalty with players. It’s a shame that when one does show that attribute it’s claimed that’s because no-one else wants him.
19  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Relegation Watch on: April 20, 2025, 20:40:20 pm
Why is it that when Birmingham won the League, everybody claimed they'd  be on the beach and not care anymore yet when a team is already relegated, suddenly the pressure is off and they will play like Barcelona? I think people just make things up to suit their side of the argument. Shrewsbury are bottom of the league for a reason. They are not very good. We should win comfortably and will but the players will not be helped if those in the crowd convey their unfounded anxiety should things not go to plan straight away. Of course things could go wrong, anything is possible but to expect the worst is plain daft.

I’m sure you appreciate, as an expert in statistics that many of the cliches such as “on the beach”, ”new manager bounce” and “scrapping for their lives” are proven to be false.
