I’m sure I read somewhere that statistically, stuttering run ups miss more than normal ones. If that is still true, it pleases me enormously.

This is the best bit of music writing anywhere and exactly correct.

All very fair.

Definitely. It is stupidity at its finest. Although the English have no shortage of examples.

Yep. There is basically nothing that can happen that won’t be ruined by “coz greed”

It’s mad. Believe it or not, it doesn’t get any less mad the more that you look into it.

Yep. End the 3pm blackout so that everyone who actually lives in the country where the matches are taking place can watch them, but then make it affordable for people to do so. Sky Sports is on offer at the moment but it would *still* cost £264 to sign up for the year on top of another package.

“Ok Andy. Do you want to do another one but less….absolutely furious?”
“I think we got it”
“I just wonder-“
“I SAID WE GOT IT”

A lot of the time, I just think people don’t want to sound stupid so they say it the same way everyone else does. Or just however they fancy in the case of Gravenberch

This should settle any and all debate around pronunciations. Including my own! But I’m mainly laughing at how angry Andy Robertson seems to be about his own name.

Yep. Certainly if my dad came out and basically said I did it for exactly the reasons people think and I *wasn’t* homophobic, I reckon I’d make that pretty clear.

Totally agree.

Yes, my instinct is a number of our players, past and present, hold similar views, but it feels like stereotyping them to make that assumption based on their nationality/religion. The difference here is that Guehí has made it clear how he feels & that’s an issue.

Being homophobic is something worthy of a serious disciplinary measure.

Yeah. Nonsense about inclusion and saying that everyone is welcome in the church, but no explanation of why it’s only on the rainbow armband he felt the need to write it. His father said it was to “balance the message” & make clear “we don’t believe in your cause”

My firm “no bigots” policy is in place for #LFC & I think someone at the club should be made to explain why they think it’s ok to sign Marc Guehí. Don’t bother with any of your weak as shit excuses for him either. He has never written “Jesus 🖤 You” on the regular armband, so why the rainbow one?

He is. And it’ll be a signing that will cause plenty to think about where their line is in the art vs artist debate.

That your line as a straight or gay person is likely to be different speaks volumes though.

Why people can’t just be sound and happy to let people just live, fuck knows.

That’s why I never listen to any of the TAW shows I’m on.

All very fair. I don’t mind the ads cos I just fast-forward them and I think the value overall about what the discussion is still there, but it’s difficult to argue with any of your points.

Genuinely fascinating listening the The Rest is Entertainment on AI in the film & TV industry (It’s inevitable, nothing you can do about it, we just need to get on board) versus the world of books (It’s absolute slop, Amazon needs to do something about it etc)

😂

I see Cristiano Ronaldo got engaged. Must be weird for him to hear a woman say “yes”.

There’s also just the nature of the anthem. Why on earth would I want someone I’ve never met, who is worth more money than I’ll earn in my entire life, to “reign over me” for longer? How is that something *anyone* wants?

Yep. He’d been giving them to Palace all day. The state of refereeing is rock bottom.

It will never not be wild to me how many people get upset at the booing of a song that asks a made up deity to allow a multi-millionaire (thanks to the fortune of their birth) to live longer in order to “reign over us”.

How are we the weird ones?

Fingers very tightly crossed.

It’s definitely a concern after the UCL exit.

The Community Shield is only a friendly, so you can’t read much into it at all. That said the worry for me is that the same issues that we’ve seen throughout pre-season persist. Hopefully it’s just teething issues for the new squad. Can see myself betting on Both Teams to Score for a while, though.

Against the slaughter of an entire population? It means you’re a terrorist.
