22/23 Fixtures


Recommended Posts

Lads looking abit of info please. Im organising to go over to the away game against Liverpool on Wednesday 31st Aug. I have a few mates who have Liverpool season tickets so will be able to get in that way but would prefer to be in the away section. I dont have a Newcastle season ticket so is it possible to get an away ticket? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel is pretty rank as a programming tool like but it's fairly universal in my field. Error checking is a right ball ache, For the simple stuff you do, it's fine. 

Interesting, Jimmy. Do you use it to make maps of the hospital corridors?

Sick of people trying to run projects with it, learn kanban fuckers

Why in the fuck are people using Excel for that? 

 

That sounds like a PP rather than an EP though.

Agreed although thankfully I've never come across someone who's tried to use it for that. I imagine they're the same level of turds who use powerpoint as a CAD solution. 

Kanban is great, but it needs to be an organisation-wide culture else it fails.

Naah, complicated economic models incorporating probabilistic sensitivity analysis, things like that. If you've got one error somewghere embedded in several dozen worksheets, it fucks everything and is almost impossible to find.

As a Scrum Master I couldn’t agree more.

Ah right, I see your problem. I get around this by simply not making errors.

In all the years I've been supporting I've always looked up fixtures in this order:

- Opening Day

- Final Day

- Boxing Day
- New Years Day
- Mackems (if they're in our division)
- Top 4/6 teams from previous season.

The rest is just meh .... and that includes the likes of Villa & Everton :lol:

Have the 'top 6' got their wish if not having a hard game near the WC? 

No, we have Chelsea at home two days before the break, but have a fairly easy run in before that 😉

Thank fuck those "leaked" fixtures were pure bollocks. They had us playing all the top sides in the first month or so. The actual fixtures are much more manageable, with the three match run of Citeh at home and Wolves and Liverpool away the only real ball aching run until November. As for the office software discussion I had no idea there was such a thing as a scrum master 😂 so you learn something new everyday.

Got to give the techies who are shite something to do, invariably someone with their tongue up a directors arse and usually wankers full of their own importance. No offence KCG, probably a decent one somewhere.

Scrum master II is all the rage these days.  Also, you need someone to explain/blame when all those data science projects fail to deliver. 

 

I'm been promising myself for a while to lay-off Excel and give something like PowerBI a go for things like dashboards. There's always one reason or the other you keep coming back to Excel, the thing is universal for a reason. Also, finance people hate change and are sick enough of their lives to add learning a new software in the mix.

Found myself going straight to the last couple of months of the fixtures before realizing we don't need to worry about who we're playing on the last day anymore :lol: Wonder how long before the Ashley era trauma subsides

Seems you have corroborated my views 😛 

 

Thick end of 30 years IT Project and Programme Management experience, but aye I don't have a scooby. Should have been paid way more as mainly worked with yanks, there should be a "suffering yanks" allowance.

I imagine being a project manager now is like it was being a typesetter when computers were introduced.

Inside or outside of IR35? - if you knew what you were talking about,  you'd not be doing scrum with Agile anymore ,like the true agile Jedis. 😜

(I don't do project management on Excel) but at least you can do timeframes, iteration and produce quality , rather than broken features more easily without Kanban and bloody Scrum... An hour of productivity lost every day in most places.

just being a cnut here tho, cos something about that post seemed a little too smug for a Scrum Master backing kanban on a football forum.
