*his words

It is basically impossible to read his word as saying or suggesting anything other than referee bias.

But I guess since he said he wasn't trying to do exactly what he did that makes it okay.

Who could have seen an inconsequential slap on the wrist coming?

That's about a third of his week's wages.

Spilled an entire cup of cold brew coffee on myself. How's your Monday morning going?

yeah, i’m sure it’ll be fine!

I am truly not certain whether he is capable of thinking with that kind of sophistication at this point.

Which is a terrifying thing to not know about the person with the nuclear codes.

Arsenal just posted an outtake video that revealed that Bukayo Saka doesn't know who Celine Dion is and that hit me right in MY birth year.

Duke WBB - ACC regular season and tourney champs. Let’s go!!!

Sometimes the algorithms make it really tough to not grab the tinfoil hat.

I’ve not said β€œAkshay Bhatia” in probably more than a year. I’m watching the golf today - he’s on the leaderboard, they’re talking about him.

Now I’m seeing ads with him in them.

Not just ads, but horrible political propaganda!

Getting repeatedly bombarded with these inaccurate political ads from PACs and interest groups during YouTubeTV commercial breaks ain’t it.

It’s probably analogous to β€œlet me go show [other parent]”

In my lifetime, it’s Duke (5), UNC (3) so I’m doing ok.

Would not want to have to play offense against Brown + Sarr, particularly how they played tonight.

They mentioned it on the ESPN broadcast in the US, too.

Kind of curious how Newcastle avoid a mass player exodus this summer.

Strikes me that players like Bruno, Tonali, and Anthony Gordon might want to look for Champions League football.

More like Poocastle, amirite?

PIF advertisements on the sideline.

They’ve sold their souls and eviscerated their club and for what? A season or two in the Champions league and some fleeting, vaguely applied pressure?

Newcastle are dreadful, aren’t they?

How about an all-out brawl that gets guys suspended for the rest of the season?

I’m going to need significantly more suffering for both Newcastle and Manchester City in this half, thanks.

I agree.

They should also change the offside law. I’m not sure how, but it needs adjusting in contemplation of whether and the capabilities of the tech align with the intent of the law.

They should have dissolved the club for Roman’s crimes, IMO.

The appalling state of that pitch was likely a contributing factor.

I’m not sure it is appropriate to make anybody play on fields in that condition.

Look at Chelsea faking injuries to get opponents booked. Pathetic.

What a shameful acting job from Garnacho, too. Glancing blow, really didn’t catch him at all, and now that the red card has come out, he’s totally fine. No ill effects whatsoever.

Unsporting, embarrassing stuff from him.
