TodaystheDay

Just happened across the Prima Squadra Femminile team photoshoot with an Imperial Marcus Aurelius trotting by… @officialsslazio.bsky.social

Friend of mine messaged to say he was looking forward to the Sunderland game and that Chilli Sharpener was good this morning. A brilliant and quite relevant autocorrection of @billycarpy.bsky.social

Never been so happy

Emery has Villa playing like he wants them to be Brazil 1970

No no no not more var

Exactly

Great shout. Imagine if Wenger/Arsenal had bid £2.99

....and started to point and laugh

Today is 'Emperor's New Clothes Day'. The moment Arsenal fans properly realised that Sky and Talk Sport were wearing no clothes....

Thank you Andrew, truly inspired. Just brilliant. An Animal Farm reworking with the totalitarian Sky and Talk Sport ideologues I can sense taking shape....

What ‘main-stream’ pundits can’t get their thick heads round about Arsenal:

‘The rules are simple: you play low block we score from set pieces, you attack you concede 5. The choice is yours.’

This from a fake Ian Wright account is doing the rounds, it's very good:

The rules are simple: you play low block we score from set pieces, you attack and you concede 5. The choice is
yours.

Thank you Andrew, perfect.

Thanks for asking the Ekitike/Isak question on the pod and your courtesy getting through my handle which is actually a Nirvana lyric, real name is in bio, lol. £200m on 2 identical players may be a rare Michael Edwards mis-step considering how LFC are getting bashed about, not winning their duels...

There's some good (but rare!) stuff creeping into the media narrative - Andy Parslow was vg on 5 Live last night calmly and professionally talking through set-piece training and strategy. He was at Brentford back in 2015 when Ted Knutson (Statsbomb/The Transfer Flow) was designing set-plays.

That's very good

Is Hugo Ekitiké an Alexander Isak regen? Everyone, including us, keeps saying the Frenchman is a mini version of the Swede - let’s use data to figure out the truth

LFC recruitment: why did they buy both Ekitike and Isak when they are identical profiles? scoutedftbl.com/hugo-ekitike...

Thank you for such interesting posts - we could do with a few sculpture graveyards here in the UK. Actually, having said that, what has been done with the Colston statue in Bristol is really good. It's been museum-ised and it really works....

Only got a minute of it but wholeheartedly agree, thanks for enduring Sky Sports so a lot of us don’t have to (volume on mute, live pictures synced with the Arsenal comms for matches). Your eloquence and consideration is really appreciated!

YES

"Ombra della sera."
Volterra, Museo Guarnacci, c300BC - yes, c300BC

VAR didn’t want to ‘embarrass’ Simon Hooper (‘Hoops’ no doubt) by sending him to the screen for the second time in the match. Hooper had already missed the crystal clear red card for Chalobah’s last-man foul earlier. Sadly another good example of VAR not being fit for purpose.

Outstanding, looks like a perfect fit; technically brave and unfazed.

Love the format with Adrian C presenting, proper knowledge across the panel

Always

Always

VVD succession planning this is not

Sure but at that price had me wondering if there’s a tactical evolution here ie both start up top, maybe Isak from the left

Why Ekitike and Isak when they are identical profiles?

Always
