🐦 📰 The :saints: Social Media thread

Well I had left the page so it should have refreshed when I came back onto the site. I can’t really refresh by pulling down the screen because it just scrolls back through endless posts of shit.

It is now working

Good point, deputy.

Good work, deputy.

For those interested, and as I’m sure @fatso had also worked out for herself, we seem to be hitting a rate limit on the Twitter API.

Or in English - we are using too much of Twitter’s resources so they are refusing our request to show embedded media.

Why does it show up after 15 minutes (most of the time)?

Because the rate limit resets after 15 minutes so we get another chunk of Twitter’s resources to use up every 15 minutes.

I just need to figure out how to fix it now.

If it helps, I think we hitting the Twitter API

Pardon my obvious ignorance, but can’t you just click on the twitter link and get it in a seperate window?

I do, now I’ve discovered “private (ooh er, missus) windows” which lets me look at twitter pages from the great and good.

Great news about Bertrand. He’s a very good player and a great bloke, he just has a resting bitch face.

Do you need me to delete some threads?

Deputy Pawg.

If anyone is deleting things, it’ll be me because I’m deputy. Not sure who you are.

You’ve lost me now. Could you repeat the bit about Fatso sucking something off please. Just for context.

Good to see I’m not the only one questioning “pressing teams” viability in the new era

No, you don’t.

This seems as good a place as any

Drop-off point
After three months of debate and recrimination over how relegation should be decided in the event of an incomplete season, we are hopefully going to see it resolved in the fairest arena - on the pitch.

Over the 24 seasons in which the Premier League has contained 20 teams, 37 points is the average benchmark for survival.

How many points teams need to give themselves a good chance of avoiding relegation: Newcastle - two points; Southampton - three points; Brighton - eight points; West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth - 10 points; Aston Villa - 12 points; Norwich - 16 points
There are eight sides in the division who are yet to reach the tally.

Two of those - Newcastle and Southampton - are just a single win away, but Norwich are potentially looking at at least five victories from their remaining nine games to give themselves a fighting chance of staying up - the same number they managed from their first 29 games.

Of the six sides most in peril, 19th-placed Aston Villa have the toughest remaining games according to Opta, while Brighton, currently 15th, also have an ominously tricky run-in.
