Thread | Kolli up front in a two
at 10:09 8 Oct 2025
Listened to the W12 pod on the way in to work this morning, they mentioned the experiment with Frey and Kone up front against Oxford, and that Kolli might make a better partner for Kone for games where Burrell isn't available.
I hadn't thought about this before, but Kolli always struggled as a lone striker, but might be much better suited to working off a target man like Kone. He's dropped off the radar a bit, but by all accounts did well when he came on against Bristol City, and could hopefully benefit from our new system this season as part of a rotation up front. We know he knows where the goal is. |

Kone may lack a yard of pace, but he makes up for it with his kilowatt of upper body strength. |

Without really knowing anything about the Danish team, the few players I could name all play in midfield i think - Eriksen, Delaney, Norgaard... but then no idea if they are also having good seasons or what-not. |

For sure, the brain is literally evolved to be a language-producing, pattern-recognition machine. One of the reasons you see faces everywhere on psychedelics. Also because the trees need to tell you something. |

Usually I'd be the same, but I actually thought the monster was well done, I think perhaps because it's all so clearly intended as metaphorical. I ended up watching the short film the feature is based on, it's really good, with a nice ending. It's basically the same monster appearance-wise (I think, it was ages ago), with the parental burnout theme really nicely done too. [Post edited 7 Oct 16:06]

When I teach students about patternicity I always refer to the Peter Kay sketch about people at a funeral getting emotional over an empty packet of the deceased's favorite crisps blowing across the graveyard. I've been doing this for about 10 years, and students long ago stopped knowing or caring who Peter Kay is, but I have a good time [Post edited 7 Oct 17:56]

I'm assuming you've experimented with how generalized this ability is, by for example whistling the Bay Watch theme music? |

Really remarkable stat given how often he was lambasted for hiding last season |

Yeah I know what you mean, is it because the football chant version becomes "the" version, so the connotation with the original song is lessened?
There's absolutely loads.
"Park, Park, wherever you may be..." (and other such variations) = Lord of the Dance, Dubliners
"You're not singing any more" = A Welsh hymn I think?
"Oh West London is wonderful" = when the saints go marching in. |

I've been doing a bit of looking into financial advisors recently, and whilst I'm sure there are good ones out there, there are so many charlatans too. The problem is that to identify the good ones you really need a fair bit of knowledge to begin with, and by the time you've accumulated that knowledge you probably don't need the advisor any more. It's a tricky situation for sure. Personally, and this will be controversial, I'm fairly confident that I've worked out what I needed to work out after an afternoon in conversation with Claude AI. But again, that was only possible because I'd accumulated enough understanding to be confident with it, cross checking numbers with my own spreadsheets etc. |

This is the way. Alternatively drop it all on the most obscure crypto shit coin you can find. |

Watched this yesterday. Quite entertaining to see Second Tier giving us this coverage , but it's a typically surface level analysis imo. |

Reply | Burrell - who identified / signed him?
at 18:46 5 Oct 2025
With Burrell we have surely one of the division's most terrifyingly rapid strikers, and in Madsen we have surely a player who can see a pass like few other's in the division. If we could get an understanding going between the two it could be quite something |

I missed this as on a "date night" with the missus, I only saw goal notifications ("YESSS", "what love?", "oh erm... the lamb's excellent")
Looking at the fotmob stats it reads like a bit of a smash and grab, but doesn't chime with most the comments on the performance here. Where we generally good for the result? |

Seems a good lad, although ideally id liked to have seen him give Lee Mason a vicious kick to the shin and growl "That's for Shaun" [Post edited 5 Oct 8:50]

I'm a big horror fan (and also have a daughter who is horror-curious, but at 8 I think too young for anything serious!).
The question of what's a good entry level horror is an interesting one.
I'm thinking at 15 you don't want her watching anything too grisly or disturbing , so focus on some of the more creepy stuff. Something like The Babadook maybe? Plenty scary but nothing too traumatizing, and a good example of contemporary (resists temptation to say "elevated") horror
Edit. Hereditary probably falls into this category too - but imo much scarier than Babadook, so perhaps approach with caution [Post edited 5 Oct 6:37]
