@domjdietrich @ramsreview1 What precautions? If we lose today there's nothing left to play for
English

Murkin absence precautionary I’m told. Sore muscle after a week of training, Johnston returns as his replacement at left back #DCFC
English

@JBryanfootball Or the quality of defending.. ward wasn’t great tonight but too mistakes led to goals
English

A good performance against by far the best team in the league.
The difference was simple: attacking depth.
Coventry had game changers off the bench, Rudoni with two good finishes albeit under poor marking.
While #DCFC rued missed chances - we’re just not quite there yet.

We're beaten by the Sky Blues.

A glitch in the Matrix at Hillsborough 36 years ago today.
@GaryLineker scores from OUTSIDE the box.
Not bad for a goalhanger.

@therevba @POMPEYBENNY @JackLJYeats Lose lose for everyone.. I trust our owner is much more sensible than the last .. but hard to see how sustainable it is if we don’t get promoted next year

@POMPEYBENNY @JackLJYeats That's what 70m in debt gets you.

@davidagagoliath @Dr_TheHistories I had that discussion in Bucharest recently .. why Romanian food is spicier (and delicious) than some of its close neighbours
English

@Dr_TheHistories Similarly, people don't realise that Eastern Europe at a time- e.g. Poland, had better access to exotic spices, raisins etc because of the extension of trade routes of those times. Their cuisine was closer to that of Persia, Turkey for example.

There's a widespread myth that medieval people used spices to cover up the taste of rotten meat.
The whole story traces back to one book. In 1939, a scientist named J.C. Drummond published The Englishman's Food and suggested that medieval recipes were so heavily spiced because the meat was frequently tainted. No evidence. Just an assumption. One sentence in one book published 85 years ago.
And it has been repeated as fact in classrooms and documentaries ever since. Here is the major problem with it.
The only people who could afford spices in medieval Europe were the wealthy. Pepper from Asia cost roughly ten times what it costs today and saffron ran about 183 pence per pound in 15th century London. Gold was 240 pence per pound. Saffron was nearly as expensive as gold. The idea that someone wealthy enough to buy saffron was also eating rotten meat makes no logical sense.
Professor Paul Freedman of Yale, who wrote the definitive academic study on medieval spices, called the rotten meat theory a compelling but false idea that constitutes something of an urban legend, a story so instinctively attractive that mere fact seems unable to wipe it out.
Medieval people did not eat rotten meat because they had no reason to. Livestock was slaughtered when needed, not stockpiled. Fish ponds were kept on estates specifically so fish could be caught and eaten the same day. Salting, smoking, drying, pickling, and potted meats preserved everything else. Medieval cooks were extraordinarily skilled at keeping food safe without refrigeration.
They used spices for the same reason we do. Because food tastes better with them. Exotic ingredients from the East signaled wealth and sophistication and because a medieval feast with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in the sauce was the equivalent of flying in ingredients from another continent, which is exactly what it was.

@ScottGretton We have potentially Szmodics, Clark,Brewster, and Diaz, who can all play the 10 role. Dont think he knows who is the best at the min.
English

No data reports needed to know that this man was absolutely superb again today! 💪

@dayko_uk Let's hope we can sign him up permanently during the Summer.
English

@kempyblue @dcfcofficial Brilliant turn out .. you were marginally better.. we’re not far off
English

A stop start first half of the season for Szmodics impacted by injury. Was still getting in good positions but finishing wasn't as sharp. Not a good fit for our system but has all the attributes to do well playing off Carlton Morris #dcfc #itfc

Sammie is a Ram. 🤩🐏 We're thrilled to announce the signing of Sammie Szmodics on loan from Ipswich Town until the end of the season. ✍️
