Our ever-green U21-player of yesteryear just followed me on IG, does this mean I’ve made it?

09/10?

What I get for trusting ChatGPT to do anything correctly Should be sorted in my post now

Assist per Minute with at least 40 Apps and 15 assists: Asprilla – 1 in 186 Robert – 1 in 282 Solano – 1 in 327 Fox – 1 in 328 Cole – 1 in 326 Gordon – 1 in 344 Murphy – 1 in 358 Trippier – 1 in 384 Saint-Maximin – 1 in 388 Ferdinand – 1 in 390 N’Zogbia – 1 in 421 Guimarães – 1 in 425 Beardsley – 1 in 429 Bellamy – 1 in 456 Dyer – 1 in 466 Ameobi – 1 in 478 Ritchie – 1 in 550 Gillespie – 1 in 557 Sissoko – 1 in 609 Shearer – 1 in 658 Lee – 1 in 661 Gutierrez – 1 in 805 Speed – 1 in 1312 Assist per Minute with at least 40 Apps and 10 assists: Asprilla - 1 in 186 Carroll - 1 in 243 Robert - 1 in 282 Sellars - 1 in 305 Cole - 1 in 326 Solano - 1 in 327 Fox - 1 in 328 Gordon - 1 in 344 Ginola - 1 in 357 Murphy - 1 in 358 Ben Arfa - 1 in 374 Trippier - 1 in 384 Saint-Maximin - 1 in 388 Ferdinand - 1 in 390 Barton - 1 in 410 N’Zogbia - 1 in 421 Guimarães - 1 in 425 Beardsley - 1 in 429 Bellamy - 1 in 456 Dyer - 1 in 466 Ameobi - 1 in 478 Ritchie - 1 in 550 Gillespie - 1 in 557 Wilson - 1 in 582 Cabaye - 1 in 587 Janmaat - 1 in 601 Sissoko - 1 in 609 Milner - 1 in 648 Shearer - 1 in 658 Lee - 1 in 661 Gutierrez - 1 in 805 Shelvey - 1 in 849 Beresford - 1 in 994 Warren Barton - 1 in 1153 Speed - 1 in 1312 Main takeaway really seems to be that across the 29 PL seasons (of 32) we have participated in, we only have 35 players with at least 10 assists total

I enjoy trivia like the fact Ameobi and Shearer have almost the same amount of PL appearances for us, yet Ameobi has almost half the total amounts of minutes on the pitch

Already have a list compiled. I used ChatGPT to help put it together, admittedly.

Give me a few minutes

Transfermarkt career history, referencing only the PL section of the NUFC period of their career. Lists Apps, Assists and Minutes Played (and more). Spent far too long making a complete list to respond to a bsky post a few days ago, ended up getting three likes

Top 25, for anyone curious: Asprilla - 1 in 186 Carroll - 1 in 243 Viana - 1 in 270 Marveux - 1 in 276 Sellars - 1 in 305 Solano - 1 in 326 Cole - 1 in 326 Fox - 1 in 328 Robert - 1 in 331 Gordon - 1 in 344 Murphy - 1 in 357 Ginola - 1 in 357 Rondon - 1 in 373 Ben Arfa - 1 in 374 Chopra - 1 in 374 Trippier - 1 in 384 Saint-Maximin - 1 in 388 Ferdinand - 1 in 390 Barnes - 1 in 392 Barton - 1 in 410 Miley - 1 in 417 N’Zogbia - 1 in 421 Obertan - 1 in 422 Beardsley - 1 in 429 Geremi - 1 in 441

Of players with 15 or more appearances for NUFC, Murphy has the 11th highest Assists per Minute ratio of all NUFC players during the PL era.

Sporting cost me £380, I share just above 1/3rd of your pain 😩

If FC Santa Claus aren't official 's with Ümraniyespor Kulïbü already, they've missed a trick:

TIL that there's a club playing in the Peruvian Premier Division that has this as their official club crest: Might just be my new favorite absolute freak and weirdo professional football club crest, though it's got a challenger in The Italian Big Lebowskis... though these guys get some points withdrawn due to only being semi-pro in the Italian 5th tier at the moment, whereas AFC Weird Looking Pope Guy compete at the highest national level in their country

TL;DR I think we're hung up on something not even on topic, as, again, the intention with my reply to Ronaldo was only to give more examples of controversial personalities that just keep growing their fanbase after controversies that would've, if not cancelled then at least damaged, their careers. I didn't mean to imply Theo Von was the face of the far right toxic masculinity #manosphere podcaster landscape 😅🙏🏼 ---------- This'll probably come across sounding like some kind of passive aggressive retort, but I've already read it 😅 But! At least I can vouch for your recommendation, it's a great read and anyone that find themselves even just curious after looking it up, they should just skip past the "on the fence" part of deciding to make the effort, they should just read it I don't think it applies here though, as the critique isn't of them as comedians, it's of them as podcast hosts. It's essentially a new role in the media landscape, more comparable to either the host of panel debate shows or entertainment talk-shows on old-timey linear TV back in the day. I have nothing against them as comedians, I've laughed plenty at their jokes through the years. But now, when adding more context to their opinions, beliefs and views on society – the same jokes that once felt genuinely entertaining and like they were "poking fun" at things wrong with modern society, especially after the dawn of cancel culture in the past decade. It's less funny when I'm aware that they weren't really joking*, and that some of the opinions performed as jokes, appear to be their genuine opinions and views (based on the consistency of them repeating said opinions/views in other channels). *obviously I don't think that the reality is anything other than the majority of the stand-up routines, or at least a fairly big chunk of them, were written with a genuine intention for the punchlines to actually function as jokes – not personal opinions. I can understand your views about me including Theo Von in the list of five controversial public figures with massive fanbases I posted – neither did I do a deepdive to ensure I found the five publicly, overall, five people that fit the context and purpose of my reply to Ron's post 😅 I can say why I went for Von, though. I acknowledge that he's fairly left-leaning on certain topics, but his dramatic swing directly to the far right on a few other subjects are, overall, the main reason. These aren't random "quips" made once or twice that the media or general public celebrate being able to act outraged about having been said, but rather things he's repeated often as far back as I can remember knowing that Theo Von existed. Things that's been said in multiple context and on different platforms/in different formats (interviews, podcasts, stand-up, social media & public appearances). Whilst you can praise Von for his staunch stance regarding what Israel has been doing in Gaza has been nothing else than genocide, him talking down female rights and his staunch opposition to the LGBTQ community being acknowledged as existing – let alone being deserving of basic human rights. That said, I can happily agree that there are many more suitable public personalities that I could've included in Von's place if I had bothered to not just name the first ones that came to mind. In fact, I can even go as far as admitting that I 100% regret giving Von one of the (randomly chosen number) five spots I posted – as I remembered Tucker Carlson exists That said, the very fact Theo Von is a person that would give a genuine, unrepentant, child predator a lifeline by bringing him on as a co-host for one of his podcasts instead of denouncing him is unforgivable on all fronts, regardless of which part of a made-up political spectrum any person feel a connection to. The fucking vile cunt's "attempt" at a public apology wasn't saying it was wrong of him to repeatedly groom minors and pay them to have sex with him, or commit other sexual acts – it was saying that none of his "encounters" had ever been "nonconsensual" Von siding with the child molestor, regardless of whatever the fuck else he's ever done in his entire life... that, on its own, tells you everything you'd ever need to know about the kind of person Theo Von actuallly is. There's no "comedy" angle to hide behind for making the choice of publicly backing a – proven – repeat child molestor.

fwiw, my personal opinion about men my age (or younger) being fans of media personalities like Joe Rogan and his merry band of toxic masculinity preachers, is that they should all read this article with their undivided attention throughout: Joe Rogan: "Straight white men are being silenced by 'woke' culture"

The context the post was in response to the question raised concerning how people like Barton – i.e. figures that are obviously controversial and have a recorded history of either consciously, ignorantly or accidentally (repeatedly so), talk down, demean and devalue massive swaths of the population in a vicious manner that a cynic would say was a calculated effort to generate more press coverage and thus more ad revenue – yet still having massive fanbases. All five of the persons I posted have enormous fanbases regardless of them repeatedly causing outrage with their opinions, whether you agree with any of those opinions or not is wholly irrelevant when it comes to the context of the post and why I chose those five people to represent controversial figures that retain their popularity no matter what they say or do in public. Hell, they even grow their fanbase from doing so at times.

Just popping in to say that the chances of that happening are absolutely not – in any way, shape or form – zero. They've played 19 games, across those 19 games they could have accumulated a maximum of 57 points. Without any home wins in those 19 matches, their maximum possible total points is 39. Even if they had lost all their home games, their maximum possible total of points would've been 30 – which would've seen them on the same amount of points as HSV in 5th. Needless to say, the amount of different combinations for accumulating the required amount of points to be placed #1 in the 2. Bundesliga after its 18th/19th fixtures are remain fairly plentiful, not zero, even without any home wins. However! The amount of times something like that has happened in the history of the 2. Bundesliga? Now THAT'S probably zero, or at the very least extremely close to zero. Stop using language and words wrong, world!

It's where they belong - on the whole. I fully acknowledge and accept that they may make good points about certain topics every now and then, but if you look at their views and content overall, there's clear trending towards the far right, toxic masculinity, misogynism and similar. The fact so few people realize is one of the more troublesome things in modern society, in my opinion That said, I have listened to the odd Rogan piece when it's been an interview subject that interested me or a subject matter that did. But I couldn't even begin imagining consuming his content wholesale listening to each and every episode no matter the subject matter or interview objects... though the very reason I can't picture that is probably also the answer to why people don't see the big picture with these type of content creators; we all consume media in bits and pieces, so nobody ever really get the entire picture as we choose the content we're interested in and skip the rest https://www.ft.com/content/9f2be125-ba1b-4062-ab2d-4b2977db20b0 https://www.vox.com/culture/368563/theo-von-trump-interview-podcast https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/10/opinions/joe-rogan-myth-spotify-joseph/index.html https://www.teenvogue.com/story/emboldened-by-a-trump-win-misogyny-is-exploding-online https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/20/joe-rogan-theo-von-podcasts-donald-trump https://www.thedailystar.net/opinion/views/news/peterson-rogan-tate-the-cult-toxic-masculinity-3129491 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/14/young-men-election-joe-rogan-donald-trump https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-joe-rogan-adin-ross-b2642756.html https://www.politico.eu/article/scotlands-controversial-hate-crime-law-triggered-jk-rowling-joe-rogan-elon-musk https://www.cinemablend.com/television/comedian-theo-von-defends-roseanne-barr-controversial-comments-viral https://slate.com/culture/2024/11/podcasts-politics-right-spotify-tucker-carlson-charlie-kirk-candace-owens-joe-rogan.html https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/theo-von-praised-by-far-right-for-telling-joe-rogan-jews-control-liberal-media-why-do-they-hate-white-guys And this is just after a quick one and done google search, god knows what would show up if I actually gave the searching the same amount of effort as I did formatting this post *I've not read through all the articles, just skimmed them what felt like enough to confirm that their contents aligned with my point of view. Fully acknowledge I may have missed something during the skim read, so not accepting any "butwhataboutthisarticle?!-isms" as I'm well aware I didn't give any of the content thorough quality control, and that was a conscious choice as my mind would've rotted having to read about those people one more second than absolutely necessary.

3 proves the lack of intelligence among the masses as his "fans" deify him for being an "alpha male" getting all the supermodels he wants, being rich enough to buy whatever the fuck he wants and being one of the best poker players in the world - which is how he apparently accumulated the wealth he uses to get any supermodel he wants and buy whatever it is he wants... https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisroberts/2020/07/09/dan-bilzerian-is-a-renter "The mansions, the yachts. The parties—the models. How does Dan Bilzerian, the globe-trotting, cash-stacking, gun-toting, Instagram-boasting partying playboy do it? Or, more to the point: How does he pay for it all? He doesn’t. Dan Bilzerian charges his six-figure lifestyle to credit cards someone else have to pay off." Yet, even after the obvious became public knowledge; the man was a scam artist and a fraudster through and through - even with him now facing nine federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and wire fraud, the absolute monkey brained "fans" of his refuse to acknowledge reality The worst part about our meagre existence is the fact that people with lower IQs get more children than people with higher IQs, and that both groups prefer having children with people that have a similar IQ level to their own... meaning intelligent people are bound for extinction, and the rest of humanity is bound for a real life version of the movie Idiocracy sometime in the near future.

All say hello

For some reason I'd forgotten that the forum got an ignore function years go Cheers for reminding me, will improve my experience of the forum immensely

This post was just the final straw, he's repeatedly kept quoting my posts to make the same negatively loaded comments towards me for weeks on end. It's just old and tiresome, and the amount of times he's kept doing it makes it feel more personal than it in reality probably is. Especially when I've kept trying to respond that I just want to discuss shit, if he agrees or not with my viewpoint is perfectly fine – but the response should be to make his point about why I'm wrong about something and he's right, not to aim snide remarks at me for actually making an effort to explain my views on something in writing when making posts, even if they end up fairly long, but if the length of a post is a problem for someone all they have to do is just not read it

Why don't you, for once, try actually engage in a discussion about the subject matter at hand– instead of whining about someone trying to have one? Or if you're not interested in discussing something online, you could try just not making a comment about it? It'd save everyone some time. This site is stil, last time I checked, a discussion forum and not a social media comment section – so stop treating it like one. Looking through your last posts (went back 10 pages on your profile), none are any longer than a paragraph and 90% of them barely even a sentence long. When I see the day that you begin offering up some actual thoughts and opinions in a post instead of snide remarks and non-constructive replies to a thread, it'll be a happy day.

I feel like there's been a remarkable rise in supporters dying from sudden cardiac arrest at sporting events in the last few years RIP
