    Cambridge Blue is the best pub in Cambridge. Great beer garden, beer and food.
    I'm not sure if they serve whatever monstrosity you drink these days.

    Not the greatest selection this year.
    It was noticeable that there were no goals from outside the box. 3 from the edge, but no 25/30 yarders.
    Didn't Bird score a good one from a free kick touched to one side? I wonder why it wasn't included.

    Bird - 10 non-penalty or set-piece goals/assists
    Brannagan - 7
    Yep... a lot more end product than than Bird.

    Francis was a RB who could play at CB. He has never played at LB in his career.
    We signed Christie a couple of weeks after Bournemouth refused to sell Francis

    It was the ankle injury that stopped him reaching the heights we had hoped. Took a yard of pace off him. He never had electric pace but was mobile.

    That bold bit is where the problem lies, imo.

    I envisage the majority of the attendance (22k+) will scuttle off home having not had the chance to thank/congratulate/celebrate with the people that matter... players and staff.
    Shame really... but utterly not unexpected.

    Strange one. Seeing your post I looked through my followers and I have none of that. Am I missing out?
    We should understand that as one of the richest, if not the richest human, Elon lives a different, rarefied life. He's probably more normal than many multi billionaires. All his life he's voted Democrat, but when Trump (also a long-time registered Democrat) became President, he invited Musk onto the nation's Industry and Technology Committee and Musk thought he should do that. But there was so much vitriolic hate for Musk for doing that, that Musk probably thought stuff you. And, as is only natural for anyone, he reacted against that.
    When he bought Twitter, he saw first hand the political interference that had been going on. As he's said, it was basically an arm of the FBI, and this suggests all the other platforms are in hock to the American state. The obvious example before the last US election was the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story (now universally acknowledged as true), with anyone who tried to post about it being banned from Twitter (and everywhere else). Clearly a deliberate attempt to manipulate the American election, just as Facebook previously boasted it won Biden the election. This is the establishment at work, which Musk chooses to call the deep state. Another obvious example is with Covid, when anyone who talked about a lab leak from the largest coronavirus research institute in the world in Wuhan, was banned from every single platform. Now it's acknowledged the theory is highly plausible and most scientists (and other people I know) assume that's what happened.
    But taking on Twitter has been tough because of the mass advertising boycotts driven by one side of an increasingly polarized political divide. Maybe I don't see the bots because I subscribe? But I don't mind subscribing because Twitter remains the greatest site for interesting news and comment and fun. And I love the diversity of voices that are allowed. It remains a mostly left-wing site but nowadays other voices (such as Tucker's) which would be censored without Musk, and it's right they're not censored. People should be able to choose what they want to see and hear.
    Twitter/X is far from perfect, and frustrating at times, but it's an impossible job to make it perfect and Musk and his team are generally trying to do a good job and create a public square/space for the free exchange of ideas. The future should be a decentralized platform, like BlueSky is, but that's so small it makes it pointless to use - only the same few faces.

    I saw Liz Truss at Heathrow Airport a few weeks ago. She was going mad because none of the airlines would sell her a ticket.
    They didn't want her anywhere near Business or Economy.

    I don’t think I’ve ever really understood this argument. You can’t do it perfectly but if you have a relatively big budget for the level you can buy relatively better players for the level who can do it.
    If we get promoted, we will have a relatively worse squad than this year, that’s where I can understand pragmatism. Although even then we played decent enough football to accumulate enough points to be lower mid table with a tiny budget last time we were there, albeit in weird circumstances.
    Warne has chosen this way to play football. It’s not really my taste but we’re pretty good at it so who am I to argue. But let’s not pretend he’s not had a choice.
