Father Beocca was at Crystal Palace’s promotion match

(Having fun though!)

Not ascribing much to this except man West Ham suck

Schrödinger’s chairman: in the seat, Levy is awful. Now that we can move on, he was great.

Oh there’s football thank goodness

Xavi Simons rules and he should have been Tottenham's primary target from the start. Cannot believe they fell ass backwards into the perfect signing.

Starting to think the guy who dresses like a bundesliga manager but got walloped every week at Southampton and is getting walloped every week at Rangers may not be good

My Cousin Vinny: Ace Attorney

Had to finally release this from my head

This is why I am inherently pessimistic about any forecast that relies on “just make a few signings and then…”

Slept on it and I think my frustration was that the good performance was built on simply being further ahead in preseason. When fitness levels were even at the end we rolled over. Hopefully we can make a few signings bc I can see reasons for hope if it happens!

Throwing it away that badly undid the performance (more than most for me I think) but to be 2-3 signings away in mid August sounds more discouraging than not

These guys are bums

I was told we would “fucking terrible to play against” [non-complimentary] and I’d like a refund

I will follow you into the dark* CFC

Feels like Son earned it

Hell yeah hon

fwiw I think when picking career mode teams, finding a team with good home and away kits should carry a lot of weight, as you’ll be staring at them a lot

This is a good man. A brave warrior. He will go to Valhalla and you should not shame him.

If you don’t contest dunks because you see the poster coming, you die without honor.

Hiroshima bombs for justice

These people, the gleeful goons, the giddy race scientists, the cheerleaders of misery, the “America for Americans only” demagogues—they don’t believe in this country. They never have, no matter how brazenly they’ll wrap themselves in the flag to justify their actions. The country they believe is small and cruel. It’s a country where secret police demand to see papers, where neighbors turn on neighbors, where the state is the enemy of the people rather than the embodiment of their collective will. It’s a place governed by fear and by hate, but even more so by doubt—doubt that any country could possibly be big enough to contain multitudes. Doubt that any country could be strong enough to take the unrealized dreams of the rest of the world and make them possible. Doubt that any country could be resilient enough to face hardship head-on and keep marching toward those ideals put to parchment by imperfect men two and a half centuries ago. They don’t believe in America, and no matter how tightly they grip the reins of government right now, America doesn’t belong to them. It belongs to the people who do believe in it, whether they came over on the Mayflower or through Ellis Island, in business class or on foot, “the right way” or not. Heck, maybe they were here long before anyone who looked like me showed up. It belongs to people who believe in those ideals that we’ve strove towards but never quite lived up to, people who believe that we should keep striving anyways because that arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself. It belongs to people willing to do the work, willing to stand up for their communities, and willing to take to their streets to stand up for those unmet ideals. It belongs to people who can still see the promise of this place in their mind and want more than anything to be a part of it, even if they have to cross an ocean or a desert to do so.

Logging off for the weekend, but shouting it one more time before I do: they don't believe in America.

@theextrainch.bsky.social general question for the pod. Is it useful to separate discussion of coaches using “young” players vs using *academy* players? Seems like everyone generally agrees on the former but Windy specifically is frustrated about the latter. Club-trained impact and all.

@noscoredraws.com wife joked the unfamiliar package was probably a bomb-little did she know. Strange days as an American Spurs supporter #COYS

@skipjack.bsky.social watching PL channel Bale highlights and they muted the commentary whenever 22 makes the pass. I get it but also don’t make it weird?

When people talk about a set piece coach at Spurs, throw ins come to mind first 🫠

Ready for next season

Of course they don’t have a replacement lined up. It was never Postecoglou vs. Frank, it was always Postecoglou vs. the club’s ability to be a high functioning organization. I will never understand how people miss this.
