    Got a feeling our mentality is changing, I’m liking this.....

    It's just occurred to me that Conor Coventry was the first player born this century to play for West Ham. 25th March 2000.

    To be honest, Pellegrini had me when he said "I've been doing this job for 35 years, I know what I am doing." It seems he does.

    The 21st Century didn't start until 1st January 2001.

    That's a fairly niche viewpoint.

    Most accept the millennium, and hence beginning of the century, happened at the start of 2000.

    Stephen Jay Gould had an interesting look at this in his book Questioning the Millennium.

    Yeah it’s a weird one. I like to think of the 20th century as being the same as the 1900’s. So, 01/01/1900 is part of the 1900’s, and so part of the 20th century.

    But googling it, it does seem that isn’t necessarily the case.

    The logic I use is a minute (a way of measuring how long something lasts) starts at 0 seconds. So, why wouldn’t this century start at 01/01/2000?

    In the book I mentioned, Gould references his autistic son, who can instantly calculate the day of the week for any given date.

    When asked about the millennium starting in 2000 or 2001, he opted for 2000 and explained it by saying the first century only had 99 years.

    'Big 4' avoid each other yet again. A complete fix.

    already getting the spuds i know giving it the 'your cup final' stuff, i just say just think when you buy a ticket you are paying twice and at least we have a stadium

    Spurs have got PSV away the Wednesday before with the return fixture on 6/11/18. They were supposed to be playing Manchester City on the Monday night October 29 so that will be moved but it's still going to be a hard game whenever over that weekend it's played. ;wink

    Fantastic draw, lets be having em. Spuds twice at the LS in a couple of weeks whats not to like. Play like we did yesterday "thinking like a big club" and playing "delightful" football and there's nothing to worry about.

    The Oxford English Dictionary defines a century as "A period of one hundred years" not "A period of one hundred years apart from the 1st century which only had 99".

    If we accept that the 1st Century started on 1 January 1AD and if you add 2000 years you get 1 January 2001 not 2000.

    If it were fixed then why draw Chelsea against Liverpool in the last round? And why draw Burton against Forest in this round?
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Course it’s not fixed......

    But how the heck do AFC keep getting home draws against lower opp

    Spurs are on SKY on Monday 29th October and Saturday 3rd November so they will need to play us on Wednesday 31st October or Thursday 1st November.
    We should hold out for the Wednesday.
  • alderzalderz
    Carabao cup games are only played Tuesday or Wednesday, so it’ll be the Wednesday night. It’s weird Spurs are playing Monday night though, as they never have Monday night games in cup weeks (that I can recall).

    Spurs are playing on Monday as they can't use Wembley due to a NFL game that weekend.

    The problems caused when you don't have your own stadium eh! ;biggrin

    Yep, that owning malarkey isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!
