    Really like that shirt. Sharp, classic look with good attention to details.

    Tatum or Ant?

    Where's option C, for Antoine Walker?!?

    Spurs 23/24: I'm Loving Big Ange Instead

    Some interesting talk about striker targets starting to heat up. Well known players Spurs are likely sniffing around include Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Alex Isak, and Nico Williams. The other name that seems to be gaining steam is Sporting's Swede Gyökeres. Since I doubt Son is getting sold, I...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    I was super down on Gundo during the early part of the season, but he really picked it up once Christensen started playing DMF. The club's fucked finances and ego has led them to the point where they have a pretty solid squad all over, but lack a true starter at DMF. That's why Roberto started...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Roberto belongs nowhere near a UCL QF and MATS really needs to do better if Barca are gonna win this tie. Perhaps the biggest problem is that once again Barca have no clear solution for the pivot. Roberto was pretty good in the first half in attack, but once Lucho adjusted PSG, he was badly...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Exact same can be said for Barca-PSG. Lots of individual brilliance, attacking and defending, but both sides lacking cohesion and getting pulled apart.

    What is next for BB?

    I like this, and I think the answer to getting the best out of BB would be to let him handle a variety of topics for a couple of hours, and then release a 30-minute "show" of it, and release the extended versions as well. The thing about BB is that it would be cool to give him a segment to...

    Spurs 23/24: I'm Loving Big Ange Instead

    Agreed. This season has been a good reminder of no matter what system Son plays in, he's world class at the most important skill in the sport--putting the ball in the net. He's 5th in the EPL in G+A with 15G, 9A (Watkins, Salah, Palmer, Haaland in case you're wondering, and Palmer benefits from...

    Spurs 23/24: I'm Loving Big Ange Instead

    I missed the first 30 minutes of this game, but the 2nd half was pretty electric from Spurs yesterday. VDV is a gamechanger for us, and we are considerably worse when he's out. Of course his PISS MISSILE (my buddy's term) is the highlight, but his ability to clean up everything behind for 2/3...

    May as well post this too, because I'm confused about all the claims made by Fenerbahce: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39895661/fenerbahce-walk-one-minute-forfeit-turkish-super-cup Apologies for posting the whole article, but A) it's short, B) it's Reuters copy, and C) WTF? Best I...

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    Not sure which thread this belongs in, but it needs to be discussed. Everton were docked ANOTHER 2 points this morning: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39898968/everton-handed-further-2-point-deduction-financial-breaches There's more at the link, but I have a real issue with point...

    2023-24 EPL Survivor Pool

    That's a good point. We had 2 finalists this year that basically smoked the pack. If we get 3, 4, 5x the players, you can probably extrapolate that so the title chasers pack grows a bit. Of course, most of our newcomers will join us in the pit of misery of early exits, or if they're lucky...

    2023-24 EPL Survivor Pool

    Thanks so much for running this @candylandriots , super fun! The only tweak I'd propose at this time is adding a couple of points to the elimination number (say 15 instead of 13), so we get the peloton to week 30 or so instead of week 20-25 like this season. I don't feel strongly about that...

    Week 30 - They return, now with Week 31 commentary

    Both clubs are clown shows, but what a game. Unclear which club is on a better path at the moment. What's baffling is how much talent both teams have, and yet both seem incapable of putting together any structure resembling competence. I'm starting to think Garnacho is a player. Argentina could...

    Week 30 - They return, now with Week 31 commentary

    That's a funny way to describe Arsenal gagging up points weekly. Not sure how Liverpool will manage the closing stretch. Will be interesting to see how Liverpool manage their UEL games. I'd have to imagine they'll rotate heavily and play their best XI for the final, whereas MANC and Arsenal...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Appreciate the response as always! I should've clarified I meant on the move, and not so much in the pocket. But I think this touches on an area that I hadn't considered much until recently. Maybe JJ's game in the NFL involves designed throws on the move? I'd imagine this simplifies reads a...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The bolded is mostly false. "Their most important games" is subjective, but let's look at MSU, the home stretch, and the playoffs: @MSU - 21/27, 287 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs @PSU - 7/8, 60 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, 8 rushes for 34 yards @Maryland - 12/23, 141 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT OSU - 16/20, 148...

    Spurs 23/24: I'm Loving Big Ange Instead

    Didn't get to watch the match closely yesterday, but Spurs earned an annoying draw at Bubble Station. Brennan was very good I thought, and it was the other attackers that were wasteful with chances. Son was poor, Madders only got going in the second half before getting subbed off, and Timo did...
