topcat(The most tip top)

soon after a particularly effective style of play emerges it becomes popular meaning teams have reason to prepare to counter it and plenty of opportunities to practice and get better at playing against it and it slowly becomes less effective and then less popular . we’re most of the way through the cycle now

Aren’t St Mirren marginally more plucky and wee?

He’s struggling to deal with the fact that Rangers have been far better than Celtic in the games that really matter this season

Klopp's real achievement has been taking the club back to a point where dropping out of the title race in late April is seen as a cause for jollity amongst the rest of us.

They’re looking after their pensioners interests so props to them

I’ve been there. It”s about the size of Dumfries so “City” might be pushing it. But it does have a massive 2000 year old Roman theatre thats really impressive and still functioning I wouldn’t go there specially but if you’re in Provence then it’s worth seeing

I remember that now but I only saw a couple of soundbites at the time ETA: I've just realised that the video is 30 minutes long, I didn't have time for that then and I don't have time now I salute your endurance in getting to the fifth minute

according to the athletic… San Siro is unique in the sense that it actually has three dressing rooms. One for Inter, one for Milan and the other for an away team. The Inter dressing room has a lot more space, whereas Milan’s dressing room is more compact.

The Roman Arenas in Verona, Arles and Orange are better than Hampden So I don't know which shithole amphitheatres you've been going to

I'm not sure who that is but It's hard to imagine a face looking more stereotypically Celtic than that It's like an Neil Lennon's ugly uncle

This is basically a restatement of @craigkillie's theory from earlier which we've already shown to be problematic But given that people have been struggling with similar paradoxes since Zeno in the 5th century BC we shouldn't be surprised that P&B's finest brains have yet to crack it There are no photos of Zeno so here's one of Xena instead

as the answer in that link states continuous probability doesn’t perfectly model any real world situation. If you start by simply assuming that the probability of something is zero then it’s hardly surprising that you can show it’s impossible which means we’ve still not solved the question of whether two players can be absolutely level I think we’re dangerously close to needing someone that understands Quantum Mechanics properly and that’s not me

I thought that went without saying

FTFY

if I wasn’t familiar with your work I’d have thought you were being clever and ironic

It’s the faster rise in Scotland since the ‘50s that drove the decision to try MUP in Scotland before the rest of the UK. Unless @strichenerhas had a damascene conversion on this issue it seems a strange point for him to be making

When Dutch people say “William of Orange” they mean the great grandfather of the “William of Orange” that you or I would associate with that title He was the leader of the Dutch fight for independence from Spain and the Spanish Inquisition

Although as it hasn't actually told us anything it is a "failed experiment" in one particular sense of the phrase

Given the noise in the data caused by Covid any attempts to unequivocally declare the MUP experiment to be a success or failure must be seen as either scientifically illiterate or disingenuous.

Don’t spoil it with facts

That's a word that's due a comeback

When anybody starts going on about "mentality" you can be fairly sure things are going to get silly It's magical thinking by proxy

Silva may have been less than entirely honest but I was a lot more sceptical about Rabbi matondo I reckon he's probably not even Jewish You can't trust anyone these days

I think we can file this one under "good" rather than "great"
