So much negativity, before a ball was even kicked. That’s honestly embarrassing. Maybe — just maybe! — there’s a reason why Clement is a professional football coach, and people whingeing on social media are, y’know… not that? #NCFC

Remember last week how Dr. Oz called AI the best solution for rural healthcare shortages?
Well, a new study finds that when patients turn to chatbots for health advice, they end up taking the wrong steps and getting the wrong diagnosis more than half the time.

Switched to the Rugby on ITV, and they just cut to an advert midway through the first period while we were waiting to see a scrum. When did this become OK? We’re not America! #6Nations

The TNT Sports commentators have nothing good to say about any of the Luge athletes. Every time, there’s a dude sliding and these guys are going ‘Oh, that was a mistake! That was scruffy. He’s going to be disappointed with that…’ I haven’t heard them say a single positive thing yet. #WinterOlympics

…and a goal on debut for bargain basement foreign player Mo Touré. You love to see it (unless you’re the kind of braindead ‘fan’ whose only joy in life comes from whingeing on social media about anything the club does). #NCFC
People constantly moan that we buy ‘bargain basement foreign players’ who ‘don’t know the league’ and can’t adapt to the rigours of the Championship. Then we bring in someone who’s been in this division for years — in a position where we need options! — and they complain of ‘no ambition’. #NCFC

No idea if this is real or not. But if that is… I called it back in 2018.

AI did not arise out of a real human need. It arose out of billionaires’ agenda that this is what the world needs next so they can be even richer. Everything it does, humans do better, it’s better for them to do. What’s left is that it’s causing people mental crisis, polluting, plagiarizing.

Sky Sports ranking the scorpion kick goals scored in the Premier League — but not even bothering to mention Josh Sargent’s against Watford in 2022… Big club bias at its finest. #NCFC

Apropos of nothing, that’s worth saying again that if you ever — for any reason whatsoever — find yourself actively rooting for your team to lose, you are functionally no longer a supporter of that team and you should go and sit with the opposition fans and buy their shirt instead.

Are there really just the two personality types? You only ever hear people talk about ‘Type A’ personalities and ‘Type B’ personalities, don’t you? Is that like USBs; in a few years’ time, they’ll invent a Type C personality and try to replace us all with that for convenience?
