    Arsenal 23-24: Watch this Space

    I think that's probably a fair assessment, although a disappointing one given where things stood a week ago. The squad has looked really tired in the second halfs of both matches and completely out of ideas in possession. Its clear we need another high quality player in the front line, both...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Not a very good four days for the Arsenal. But Tuchel is an excellent cup manager and Bayern have as good a CL pedigree as any club outside of Madrid. We didn't get beat by nobodies and they deserved to win in the end.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    This has been an amazing round of quarterfinal ties.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I don't think its impossible. But its only something you embrace if you haven't been able to land that elite QB and the chances of it working are really low. Plenty of teams have made, or even won, Super Bowls without an elite QB but the denominator for that category is huge.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The other problem is that having an expensive elite QB isn't such a drag on roster construction that some well-run team with that kind of QB won't also be able to amass and retain a shit ton of talent. And so you not only have to get past Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady but you have to score on a...

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Welp. Villa played great, completely punched us in the mouth in the second half despite being on short rest.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Especially when the line counts as inside the box. I certainly didn't see an angle that conclusively showed that the foul occurred entirely outside that line.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Suicide football from Spurs. 2-0 Newcastle and it could easily be four.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    Yeah, on a second read I agree there are some sketchy elements here, also including the boss being like "You have to sign an NDA anyway because you saw OJ's lawyers in this building, so I'll share this entire sordid story with you."

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Yeah, its probably one of these situations where there is very little benefit but also very little downside. If you're Washington and you're set on Daniels then the only situation where you're really hurt by revealing that preference is one in which another team is willing to offer a king's...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    What do you guys think the chances are that we "know" the Commanders' pick with a high degree of confidence going into the draft? In other words, they either publicly confirm who they're going to take (like the Jets did with Zach Wilson a few years ago) or it becomes so widely reported by...

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    No idea if this story is true but it seems plausible. I doubt OJ's criminal behavior toward women started that famous night. View: https://twitter.com/mouvement33/status/1778566905881829792

    23/24 Europa League: Staggering around Temple Bar

    Klopp makes a triple change at halftime, which you don't see every day.

    23/24 Europa League: Staggering around Temple Bar

    Only saw the last 10-15 minutes of the half but Atalanta is really taking it to Liverpool, who look like they assumed they could win by getting out of bed. 1-0 but really could be 2-0 or 3-0. Meanwhile, Moyes has brought his finest double decker bus to Germany, getting outshot 18-1 by...

    Golazos

    I still have very fond memories of scoring one of those in 8th grade against our cross-town rival middle school team. The keeper was about four feet tall but never mind that.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    How has Gundogan played in this role? He used to spell Rodri there when at City. Pep once started him in a CL final as a pivot 6.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    I'm happy with this not being a penalty but I think your description is a little off. If you look at angles from the side its obvious that both players are actually moving into the contact simultaneously. Neuer's right leg is moving forward the whole time, it just doesn't look that way from...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    I can’t complain about the Saka call. I’ve seen it given and Neuer was moving into him as well but Saka was too obviously looking for the contact. The ref also gave Arsenal a huge gift earlier by not calling a pen when Gabriel had a massive brain fart and handled the ball after Raya rolled it...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Nervous...its been a while for us Arsenal fans. Bayern's front four is scary but that defense and central midfield looks pretty soft. Eric Dier starting... Pep dropped KDB for this match and I think its the smart move. The only way Real can really hurt City is turning this into a super high...
