Alright everyone - we've set up a basic discord server just in case of outages in future (and we created an emergency match thread channel too, just in case we get a repeat of this weekend!) There's no obligation at all to sign up to this, it is not replacing the main site, it's just there for when this falls over. We have no way to communicate with most people when this site goes down, so this could be a useful tool for that in future. I will add that if this site was ever irrecoverable for whatever reason, having the ability to contact everyone would help keep the community together. I'm not going to post the discord link publicly for obvious reasons, but if people could DM myself or one of the other mods directly, we can share the link privately. When you do sign in, please change your discord handle within the server to your TT username - or ping me on discord and I'll do it for you. Should the site go down in future, updates will be posted in the discord (as well as potentially via Patreon).

Admittedly wasn't really about that game so much as their wider situation but I can see how fate was tempted Beating Fulham or not, they're a club that seems to be in a very weird place right now.

I'd fancy the cat against most of the ones I see day to day

Against mountain lions?

Chelsea sound like they're in the wars mind. Fans and manager at each other's throats. I think they're out of this race tbh, it's going to be 3 slots for 4 teams.

She's trying to provide for the family As much as it's annoying to you, it's some cat tbf. In bygone days she would have been held aloft as some sort of wondercat, bringing rabbits home.

Yeah I think it makes sense for people to join up ahead of any issues but it's obviously going to be at individual discretion. Just need to be thoughtful about the way we do it to prevent abuse/access from undesirables

We've agreed to set one up for emergency use so I'll sort that in the next day or so.

You don't think ours would be fast moving?? It'd be wall to wall unfiltered, uninterupted Gemmill. Is that something you want to see

I like discord too but with an active community it can quickly become chaotic and I don't think you'd get as many distinct threads. You could turn on slowdown to suppress messages of course but I'm yet to see that be enacted in a way that isnt tedious. Also here you can browse a conversation at your leisure on a single topic. Discord you'd have a smaller group of channels meaning multiple simultaneous conversations all overlapping with each other. Some people would login and see they've missed 300 messages - they just won't read them, so conversations will become more focused on active participants rather than community discussion. I've been on discord for 8 years now, it's a great platform in many ways but I don't think it would be a suitable replacement for here. We'd lose members in the switch.

Discord is for active continuous mass conversation so the format wouldn't work as a replacement for here. Forums encourage longer form responses whereas discord is really just chat. But as a backup, I think it's a good idea. I had the same thought yesterday.

Me either. If they lose to us and then City, it's over for them. Which on some level I'll appreciate because it means Emery won't have outdone Howe.

No way Tonali goes for south of £100m.

If we win this i am getting hammered. I don't expect us to, I think Villa under Emery are a very good side, but if we do that's CL delivered.

She actually came out against asexual people recently, as they had their awareness day and I guess she was bored and wanted to lash out at something. You have to wonder how asexual people are threatening women specifically?? I suspect she's now aligned against all LGBTQ. I mean hell she even protested trans people having their identified gender on birth and death certificates. How does that hurt or threaten women? She's full of shit and a bigot, like so many TERFs are.

She posted the same pic on her twitter feed if that helps. I just refuse to touch that platform.

JK Rowling celebrates her victory over trans people on her 150m dollar super yacht, in the Bahamas, with champagne and a cigar. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14622149/JK-Rowling-parties-Bahamas-150m-superyacht-Supreme-Court-ruling-transgender-women.html?ico=authors_pagination_mobile Check the picture, she looks like a fucking Bond villain. This is what was wrong with this. Pieces of shit like her. Its not about her opinion or point of view, it's about crushing people to amuse herself and then taunting them with her unimaginable wealth. When we finally do get around to eating the rich, I hope she's one of the first.

We beat Forest.. and we beat Arsenal away in the LC.

If he wasn't born with money, there is absolutely no chance any of us would even know who he was. Until he hit the news as an incel serial killer.

Fish had a thread that sort of covered that i think but uhh.. y'know, it was a fish thread. Went the normal way.

Done. I feel like we're going to be answering these things for the next several years

I think part of the problem is people perceive it as some sort of criticism of the team, like we didn't deserve to win or something - I think in our case, because we do play a bit differently to other sides, we're just getting into positions and shooting scenarios that other sides don't. Or that their players don't have the quality to pull off.

I am really loathe to wade into this since I'm fairly sure it's more about winding Gemmill up than the actual detail, but I do think that Isak having an XG of 0.04 on that goal is a testament to how fucking sweetly he can hit the ball compared to most players. And I would also add that now he has scored it, the XG for future such goals will be slightly higher All XG is telling us is that out of all the other scenarios that matched that situation (to the limits XG tracks the details), 96 shots out of 100 didn't go in. I don't know why everyone argues about this so much honestly, if you're not into XG it's fine but I find it pretty interesting from time to time.

It is quite tempting, I'll have a look. I'm not one of the rowdy people on here anyway
