Literally Ben White

No mate it’s just an opinion. If it’s obviously wrong then make that point?

Yeah, that’s it!

Yep, my understanding is that the cost of the contract is only amortised over the first 5 years of the contract now?

I just don’t look at it this way really.

A 9.5 year deal isnt normal, and reeks partly of desperation, partly as some sort of attempt to threaten the PL that they have the potential to ruin Haalands career if he he’s fated to go down with the City ship. It’s strange, makes me think they’re scared.

Wouldn’t a higher number of changes available also be a symptom of having more fit players?

All well and good that Liverpool are proving they weren’t 99 point team, but this Arsenal team just don’t have what it takes to close the gap, imo.

They don’t know what they’re doing.

Usyk always comes on strong in the final stages. He keeps at a close distance and looks to draw punches out of his opponents so that they are tired late. When they are tired, as they usually always are, he ups the pressure to make it obvious to judges he’s on top.

Close fight, but a clear winner.

Pod me up, buttercup!

This is it. I almost can’t enjoy their downfall as much because I have no faith that Arsenal are capable of winning the league this season. We have a team that is good enough, but we won’t.

What about my post suggested that Arsenal aren’t in part to blame for this result?

It’ll feel worse Fulham capitulate infront of Liverpool next week.

Who knows what condition they’ll be in when the derby finally comes around .. due to all the fixture pileup before the new year there’s a real chance they could be in worse shape then they might have been today.

I thought he was reminding the crowd how many games he has lost out of the last 7.

Ødennis Bergkamp.

Timber sneaking in behind the dummy block to nudge Paqueta forward .. a perfect execution of the tactic let alone the delivery and header.

Regardless of if it is or is not a penalty, the referee could not wait to blow that whistle. Vasquez wasn’t even on the ground before the pen was given.

If this team can stay moderately healthy, how can we not be considered title challengers?

I think it means we run a lot. No need to thank me.

Remember watching this film and “liking” it, in so much as you can like a film which is that grim

I assume the issue is about the racist cop? I never really saw it as a redemption arc with him. In the end they both ride off to potentially murder someone, both miserable finding company in each other

Damn good thing this story didn’t come out during the election or Bolsonaro would have definitely won a second term .. that’s how these things work everywhere right?

The DNC Chair race, which will likely be held in early 2025, is the biggest fight we have in the immediate future. Of the rumored candidates, Ben Wikler, chair of the WI Democratic Party, and Ken Martin, head of the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, are by far the best choices.

Problem is this is who they always were, just now they’re on a power trip having seized control of the largest social media platform and the most powerful office on the planet.

Truth is those who moan about politicisation of things they like just want you to shut up, they are all for politicisation

I’m getting a lot of communication from people saying they’re no longer going to listen to the pod because I’m on this app. I find it astonishing that we’ve gotten to a place where politics has so badly boiled people’s brains that using a social media app is seen as an unforgivable transgression

It doesn’t matter. These people believe in nothing, but want everything.

There isn’t a single position they hold on any issue that they won’t undermine at a moments notice when it suits them. Don’t engage with them.

⚖️ Man City v Premier League

I have a theory as to why the outcome of Friday’s vote on APT rules is so important to both Man City and the PL… it’s to do with the hearing on the 130 charges.

Validating it currently with a litigator and an arbitrator.

If it holds, it makes Friday absolutely pivotal.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

My guess is the football + other global “issues” lead me to not pay as much attention to the news cycle as I usually do!

I wasn’t even aware there was another vote? Is it being reported on much?

Personally I think Trumps handlers are trying to get Republicans voting against these awful choices and poke their head out so they know who isn’t loyal enough.
