As a Fulham fan I recognize this as βThe Palhinha Pactβ where you trade the ability to pass to your own attackers for the glory of 32yard slide tackles.

- away against a MF so fast & strong, is Iwobi/Lukic/Berge they path forward?
- how much of our progressing weakness is solved by Jedi?
- What exactly is ESR good at?
That Jacob Murphy is a black guy and Harvey Barnes is a white guy just demonstrates how big a gap there is btw US/UK.

The ironic thing, is that the racist text messages sent by Ingrassia were all replies to other racist messages originally sent to Ingrassia by Young Republican staff members of these same four GOP Senators.

This feels like one of those social media pancake-waffle things.
Youβre kind of describing my position from 2018. Time (and ICE agents) marches on. Iβve read dozens of these pieces, and if you wanna read more -have at it.
The real change is only gonna come when they realize theyβre choosing between authentic apologies and a seat at the defendantβs table.
Snacks and gas are great, expecting all of us mofos who arrived on time to listen to their βItβs not really my fault because β¦β excuses?
No thanks.
A person realizing theyβve messed up and they wanna change their ways choosing for their first act to be an explanation of why their previous bad behavior wasnβt really their fault (rather than doing everything they can to make amends) isnβt as far along on their journey as theyβre purporting to be.

Iβm not gonna hurt Bob or throw him out of the car but Iβm also not listening to his βjourneyβ. Thatβs for *his* benefit, not ours.
Heβs welcome as long as I donβt have to hear the tale of his bolt of insight.

The rest of us being expected to treat the dawning of βoh wow, women/immigrants/gays/brown people *are* humans just like meβ as if theyβve discovered a new vaccine is tiresome & reinforces the expectation that empathy isnβt just a basic part of humanity.
I thought dude seemed thoughtful at first but stopped reading when we got to the abortion section and the conservative guy realizes that maybe policy stuff isnβt just a chit in a game you wanna win.

20.10.2025 15:29 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0LFC last season seemed to have more control (than w Klopp) and that disguised their def issues. Off season moves seem to be aimed at less control, more attack. The problem for LFC isn't their weak defense - that is/was their plan. The real problem is they aren't scoring 3 goals per game, no?
19.10.2025 17:34 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Nuno was famously Mendes' first ever client but Silva was not far behind, so their relationship is looong.
Maranakis's behaviour with firing managers isn't making the Forest job look more attractive, either.
I expect this is Silva's last year at Fulham and I'd bet on his next job being Juve.
I'm a FFC fan and don't want Silva to leave but I'll suggest that Silva has the same agent (Mendez) as Nuno and that was a huge part of the problem between Nuno and Edu/Joorabchian.
Also, not sure that 'worked w Maranakis before' really means 'interested in working w Maranakis in the future.'
It's as if what people drew from the John Oliver 'We Got Him' comedy bits was we just needed a *slightly* better piece of evidence to finally, truly "get him" and not the less fun concept that there is no single, silver bullet that will pull us out this mess.

Maybe I don't watch enough MLS these days, but are there now more games played with American gridiron football lines of the field in the Premier League than in MLS?
