Title: Computer Generates Football League
Post by: Woodhead Passer on November 13, 2017, 01:50:01 pm
Some Spurs fans used machine learning to generate football team names by feeding the computer a database of English club names (going all the way down to Level 12 in the football pyramid & the Scottish leagues). Quite an amusing article & comments.

Which team would you follow from the Generated Football League? "I'm Farton 'til I die!"  :saywhat:

I'm pretty sure Dave K*tson is their captain

Clitlowe have a divisional rival in Cockport as well!

There are some great names in there, but I think my team would be "Wodgy Villa". They sound suitably underwhelming and unfashionable.

Clitlowe versus Cockport in the FA Cup with the winners at home to Bloman United.

All they need now is to appoint that well known female boss, Fanny Scratching.
