We would LOVE your thoughts on this, #NFFC fans:
In the The Athletic's 'Talk Of The Devils', Andy Mitten claimed that Elliot Anderson can "play for middling clubs ... or he can play for Manchester United", and suggests our number 8 could "agitate for a move" to Old Trafford.

I was reading spyglass.org/nvidia-gpu-v... and realised I don’t like ChatGPT.
Not AI in general - just ChatGPT.
I use Claude a lot and it’s good.
But ChatGPT sounds insincere and smarmy, like it’s got an underlying agenda.
It’s creepy in a way that Claude isn’t.

NEW PODCAST! #LFC 0-3 #NFFC: The 1865 Match Report
Even the most optimistic Forest supporters didn't see a result like that coming, as goals from Murillo, Savona and MGW secured the points (and should have been added to by Igor Jesus).

I also first saw it on a clip of some Korean TV show where the set is the inside of a school and everyone is wearing school uniform. But the female singers are all teenagers and the male presenters are all in their 30s or older.
It is very very creepy.

I'm going to see Johnny Vegas' Ideal (live) soon. It was a very funny sitcom.
But what I'm most looking forward to is seeing Emma Fryer. In Ideal she played Tania, who was great.
But her best role was Janine in Phone Shop.
