    GW 22: Moyes Story II or Ange Ball Bursting

    There was no easier grift in world football than selling Ten Hag a guy from his Ajax teams over the past few years.

    Tottenham Hotspur 24/25: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's a lost league season with the injury crisis exposing the squad building errors that are even worse than typical Spurs squad depth issues. As important players start getting healthy again, the minimum requirement is that league form goes from wretched to patchy, so things stabilize and the...

    Sons of Rube Goldberg: MLS 2024-25 Offseason Thread

    I guess that’s Campana, which me forgetting for a post shows how convinced I am that he’s the man and not just a solid piece.

    Sons of Rube Goldberg: MLS 2024-25 Offseason Thread

    Revs offseason so far seems heavier on quantity than quality which makes me a bit nervous, but not done yet I suppose. If they’re replacing Vrioni with Urruti, that’s underwhelming. If Urruti is the Bobby Wood backup spot and there’s a DP striker incoming, that might be different.

    The Special Ones (manager talk)

    Moyes is definitely the funniest option, but I don't think he's the worst option by any means.

    Game Week 20 - The Window Has Opened

    Also they shouldn’t be using screenshots from Sensible Soccer to make VAR calls.

    Game Week 20 - The Window Has Opened

    I’m not saying it was correct, it was an insane decision and he got lucky. Advantage saved his ass most likely, refs often get goofy about both playing advantage and giving a card.

    Game Week 20 - The Window Has Opened

    Bizarre that wasn’t a yellow, but bizarre that the Diaz no-contact tackle was one so it comes out in the wash for me.

    Americans Abroad 2022-23

    On the bright side, he was so early in starting a development curve for a GK that a few lost years at Chelsea should put him at about par rather than way behind the 8 ball.

    Game Week 20 - The Window Has Opened

    Possibly to a certain extent, but in addition to their horrible injury issues and the fatigue the rest of the players have as a result there was apparently stomach flue running through the team, which was not really discussed on the broadcast.

    GW19: Auld Lang Syne - New Year's Fixtures

    So Ange is gonna get credit from pundits for sagging off, ceding possession and defending a lead like they all demand, right? Because it worked so well?

    Tottenham Hotspur 24/25: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Four CBs (counting Davies) is a problem that should have been known going into the season and simply wasn't resolved. It's a stroke of terrible luck that literally all of them are hurt, but I've been looking at other PL rosters and they all seem to have 5 - 6. As for winger/striker depth, there...

    Game Week 17 - Winter Solstice Soccer; Yule Love It

    This was always the match where having 1/5 starters across GK and the backline (with the one starter being the worst defender of the bunch and exhausted) was gonna really show up for Spurs and so it did.

    Everton 2024-25: All Roads Lead to Roma; Frie(dkin) to Be You and Me

    I still think a well off team out there should zig when everyone else is zagging and trying to put out the same technical press and possess sides and see if Dyche becomes Diego Simeone if you give him enough money, but nobody is actually going to do that.

    Sons of Rube Goldberg: MLS 2024-25 Offseason Thread

    MLS on linear is in a spiral where the networks already cared so little which was the reason they pulled almost everything to a pay service in the first place and that pull uh hasn't exactly made networks more eager to promote the scraps. It's basically sink or swim on the Apple deal at this...

    2024/25 Europa League

    I was concerned they're irretrievably overplayed it when Solanke didn't shoot that one, but it all worked out. 3 points would have been a lot better for Spurs, but with this absolute patchwork of a current squad situation you take the point and move on. Just get Ange to January and get a few...

    24/25 Champions League - Now with More Inequality

    Makes up for the lack of air vs. the Barca one by also dropping the initial dime over the top to Weah IMO.

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    The offices of Sports Reference are in Philly, so the most logical theory I've heard is that they use Aaron Cresswell as a default sort of testing or checking on production issues page in the office.

    Tottenham Hotspur 24/25: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's funny with Son. The other Spurs site I frequent has a weird thing going where whenever he plays wing there's a sizable contingent of people convinced he absolutely can no longer play the wing, and when he's up top there is a similar contingent absolutely convinced he can't play up top, and...

    Tottenham Hotspur 24/25: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I'm cautiously optimistic about the overall project, not so optimistic about the season but hoping we can sneak a cup trophy, and extremely unexcited for the rest of December.
