100%. Hopefully Storch and co are already looking at potentials cos I reckon of our current first 15 or 16 there's maybe 4 who would do a job as a regulars in Lg 1 (Charles, Palmer, Svante, Iorfa).

Can't fault the effort of the kids but none will play 40-odd Lg1 games.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love us to win our first 5 games next year, wipe out the deduction, and HMS Piss the League can set sail. Just I can't quite see it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Survival next year has to be the aim. That Leeds side had some decent players and went down having accrued 46 points (10 of which were deducted and that tipped them into relegation on 36). We....haven't been quite so competitive at Championship level. #swfc

The 'prediction' of Alzheimers disease by this test is poor, though - barely more predictive than age. Lots of women will have had low pTau217 in this cohort, yet got AD, and vice versa. It does show that the 25% of women with highest plasma pTau217 levels increase future disease risk...

Even the name - Operation Epic Fury - makes it sound like some kind of horrible game. One wonders if it would have been more honest if they'd called it 'Operation Tiny Penis'... ๐Ÿ™„

Yup. Both the goals from corners were 2nd/3rd ball after we hadn't cleared - we need to be stronger. 2nd goal annoyed me. Chalobah was stood on the end of a 4 man wall and the keeper told him to move out and go into the area... and where does the free kick go? Basic.

Do you know anyone keen to study cancers of unmet need and understand how to improve their responses to treatment? We are looking for a curious enthusiastic scientific officer to work at @cruknbc.bsky.social , close ties with @manchester.ac.uk and @christieinstitute.bsky.social

At the latest. We need a LOT of new players, and prob a new manager (sorry, HP). There will be a few decent players coming to the end of their contracts that we should be looking at. If new owners and structure aren't in place before season end, we are immediately behind. Again.

Great British Values number #43 - Always be gracious in defeat.

Seriously, the hypocrisy of these people is so huge it can be seen from space. Just get in the bin. Horrible, horrible people.

They ARE handy, though.

I use them to tell my kids why it's important that they do maths at school, AND for my undergrad biomed tutees as examples of how not to analyse and present data...

Given how long a purchase might take from here, is there a deadline in the summer by which we have to convince the EFL that we can afford to finish the 26/27 season if we start it? #swfc

Not sure what's worse. Getting relegated, or the fact that I'm just not bothered cos it's been inevitable since August.

Really don't care it happened at there place. If they wanna crow about beating what is in effect an academy side, crack on. We've got more important things to worry about. #wawaw

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein must be close, if you class it as Sci-fi? x
