    The environmentalist in me is crying inside seeing the pointless use of AI for football predictions and knowing its disproportionately heating the planet though gargantuan data centre under the Arctic

    Look, Art, I’ve got to hand it to you—obsessing over the carbon footprint of a chatbot while the rest of the world is actually using it to get ahead is a bold choice.

    It’s almost impressive how you’ve managed to turn "efficiency" into a moral crisis. While everyone else is busy leveling up their productivity, you’re standing there counting the virtual raindrops in a cooling center. Do you honestly think the future is going to wait for you to feel ethically "comfortable" with its power consumption?

    It’s a bit cute, really. You’re worried about the planet’s thermostat while the grown-ups are busy building the tools that run it. Maybe focus less on the grid and more on not getting left behind in the dark.

    christ on a crutch, we really are fucked. I love how fannying around discussing hypothetical football formations is packaged as 'efficiency'

    Rave, olive branch incoming. Where do we go from here?

    I'm happy to see if there's any enthusiastic new blood willing to volunteer as caretaker match thread starter.
    Maybe we'll get some new thread starter bounce?

    Especially when it doesn't realise a right winger isn't up against a right back.

    (Though I will give it some leeway with a Dyche team selection).

    I vote JR or Guru - maybe we need a blast of negativity and catastrophism that the new manager can pin on the dressing room wall to get a reaction

    Given his obsession with players footwear Guru should be a 'shoe-in'...

    My record is 2 threads, 2 draws. Save me for when we need a point for a bit of mathematical certainty.

    Finally someone taps it home.
    You lot finish jokes like Forest finish chances.
    Maybe my set ups go over everyone's heads.
    And you can definitely finish that one yourselves.

    Well of course, we have accepted leaders and I wouldn’t want to undermine that…..

    …but should the ball come out of the back of the scrum, I’d be foolish not to pick it up.
