We really should take 6pts from the next two. I mean Rotherham have seven league defeats on the bounce

Got badly let down by AI yesterday. Was walking on Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest peak @ 2565m. Checked to see what clothing to take and AI said ave Jan temp was 27c. It was 11c ;-/

I think running those photos through AI is a failed experiment. I'd much rather see the black and white originals.

Comparing those two pictures is fascinating. Rows and rows of people appear to be an interpretation of a mottled wall behind those standing. And I think the word on the hoarding in the original must be Drink.

6 million dollars - silky fabric? I had them both

Whatever we end up with, for our outfield strips I would stick to any combination of colours from a palate of various blues, yellows, golds, whites, greys, blacks. So much better for supporters to know what to wear at matches. No need for green, red etc. kits.

The all white Adidas kit with the blue trim we wore in 1977-78 (with the away kit the exact reverse, i.e. all blue with white trim) remains my all time favourite Wimbledon kits. Whoever designed those two kits didn't think about playing teams that season in blue and white stripes like Huddersfield or blue and white hoops like Reading when coming up with the away kit. I remember being taken to Hales sports shop in South Wimbledon to get a replica for Christmas but they didn't do any with the club badge and they had none to fit an 8 year old. The 1978-79 yellow shirts wirh blue trim and blue shorts with yellow trim Adidas kit comes a close second. Shirt advertising in the 1980s ruined that kit. I still remember Golddigger or whatever it was emblazoned across the tops. I can't remember what our away kit was when we had the yellow and blue Adidas kit. Anybody know?

That goal wouldn't be allowed these days.

76/7 and 77/8 we were all white or occasionally white/blue

Did we really play in those colours in 1977? I thought we were yellow and blue.(I'd quite like to go back to that, or better still blue shirts and yellow shorts).

Which real intelligence can't work it out? The biggest problem is the size and quality of the original. Given those it isn't surprising AI makes a pig's ear of it but it still has. Yes trying to upsize and colour them is fun but it shows how poor AI can be, it pattern matches, it doesn't "think" like real intelligence. Which is why LLMs will be a good tool for many everyday tasks but beyond that are a dead end.

OTD original clearly shows the awkward angle of the keeper and his arm behind Cooke's head. It might make mistakes but perphaps some are not so surprising when real "intelligence" can't work it out ;) [Link]

A win at Rotherham would certainly lighten the mood.

Keep the faith. Lets all stay positive and keep the faith.

I must admit I feel along the same lines oh lord. And am I right in thinking JG gave us money to be able to get those loans? Hoping we’re not spending much money on players who couldn’t get into their own L1 teams.

Same division loans screams desperation

My mate who is a Luton town season ticket holder says the new guy is ‘absolutely hopeless’ … he is a glass half empty kind of chap so let’s see !!

Wow and lol

Trigger - Poland are apparently the second most successful country in terms of club achievements in Europe this season and Tottenham are the third best club (after Aresnal and Bayern)

The A in AI stands for Artificial - that’s all we need to know about it… 😬

Also it is probably being asked to turn one pixel in the original into 20, 30 or more in the result, which is not a simple task. However 'intelligent' it is considered it doesn't understand the physical concept of not being able to have an arm going through another person's head so no hesitation in producing that.

Naz it’s called “hallucinations” and is a very frustrating aspect of AI image creation/editing. Even if you prompt something like “add clouds to the sky and leave everything else unchanged” it can’t help itself and will one day destroy the world because some asks it to make themselves look a little slimmer in a holiday snap.

Ah yeah it was you Spit. 7 defeats in a row and then we rock up with our all out attacking style of play.
