David Wagner as said 'We like to win and end as high as we can. We are not mathematically safe (in the playoffs). We will go strong.'

Great to hear.

Anyone surprised? Anyone at all? Usually he just sticks his pledges in the bin instead of watering them down to meaninglessness, so I guess it's...progress?

It's still a spoilt ballot with a spunking great big cock and balls for me.

I get people being frustrated over things but any spoilt ballot is basically a vote for the Tories. 

They'll be pleased with any vote that doesn't condemn their 14 years of shit.

Seem he has good chance to be in the squad tomorrow, huge to have him back and hopefully can be fit for Brighton to get some fresh legs 

Good news. 

Such a shame he had that injury after being great against arsenal. 

Norwich will not want Leeds in the first playoff game. 

They'll want to keep 5th place.

I know they didn’t have those things, but their entertainment (whatever it was) was focussed on <something>. When kids (or we, whoever) watch a cartoon or programme, their (our) mind is focussed on that thing that they’re watching. So whilst it’s a different “thing”, the behaviour is the same.

With the “quick flick” dopamine hit stuff, that behaviour is not the same. There’s a lack of focus, it’s a shift to the next thing because you can and “need to”. That isn’t the same as parents not having TV but then kids having TV, it’s an entire change in how the mind is settling on something.

It may not be a problem but given what I see in myself and other adults a lack of focus is becoming a real issue. To the point now where I’m working, but replying on a forum because I can and it’s there.

This sort of thing is just going to be exacerbated if kids are picking it up. It may be inevitable, it might not even be an issue, but I think it’s a very different beast from “we had cartoons and we turned out fine” - and that’s ignoring things such as the (potentially scary) rabbit holes that algorithms will send kids down. 

Yep. 

As an adult I can see the impact it has on my behaviour at times. 

I sometimes struggle to sit and watch a TV show without grabbing my phone to check something. It's just become a habit. 

At least I'm an adult who can understand that happening and try to make more of an effort. 

Young kids have no chance.

I don't really think it's different.

it was a behavioural thing for us as well. When my parents were kids they hardly had any children's TV. Or TV in general. Kids sitting around watching TV or playing video games all day was a completely alien concept. Kids in my generation were addicted to cartoons and video games. We were constantly told that behaviour was different and wrong. Now it's normal and this new behaviour is different and wrong

I think it's just the standard thing that happens in every generation, people think the changes in the new generation are bad and their generation was better.

 

It almost never is

I think the big difference is patience and attention span. 

This has changed massively in my years as a teacher. 

I would sit and watch TV for hours as a kid but I had to watch what was on and sit through adverts and wait for the shows I wanted. 

Now it's instant demand. My kids can't even sit through 6 seconds of a bluey intro and have to press the skip intro button. 

My kids aren't on YouTube but on there you just keep swiping up until you've found the 15 second video that grabs your attention.

You know what's with team in shit form and who best to play against?

I still worry we're that team.

We nearly did it for Jackson yesterday. 

Great result. 

**** sake.

Surely they can't collapse.

I enjoy reading their forum. The hate is real.

Saw some of that on our forum yesterday after Chelsea result - I'm going to be disappointed if we start behaving like entitled Spurs fans as we continue to ascend.

Have you seen the Luiz thread. We're getting there. 

Big point but **** me that was terrible. 

Guess it doesn't matter too much at this stage. 

Absolute **** shambles.

Some teams we haven't been able to live with this season. 

Chelsea have been one of them. 

Even when we won they had a lot of chances if I remember

Well this has been predictable. **** sake. 

Get Duran on and go direct like against Lille. We can't pass the ball out 

It's been coming all game. 

What an absolute gem. 

What a **** signing.

Feels like only a matter of time. 

This is concerning. Is it planned or can we genuinely not get the ball?

Apart from the score this is like the cup game. Can't pass the ball out can't keep the ball

Be lovely if we could keep that ball
