We need you, king

Two fantastic performances by Barcelona this weekend, men yesterday and women today. As with all their successful periods, notable how many players for both sides they’ve developed themselves.

It's the big one. This Saturday, Ireland and France play what is almost certainly set to be the 2025 Six Nations decider. We dig into the game to come, where either team might find advantage, and who may be about to put one hand on the trophy...

It’s the start of Lent but Alisson isn’t giving anything up ✝️

Instagram post from sportbibleireland with a pic of Jason kelce in his tweed suit at the Super Bowl this year. My bluesky post is pasted over it, “he looks like the two banshees of inisherin guys combined.” Their caption is “he’d never have let that happen to Jenny 😢”

I forgot to tell you we made it to Sport Bible Ireland, been a real whirlwind folks

I saw people after the game saying 'we cant keep dropping points like that'.

I mean... yeah. But that's only the third game this season we have dropped points. We pick up 2.7 per game (85% won) when ahead. Arsenal only 2.4 (70% won) by comparison.

United, bizarrely, are the only other team to

Revealed: gambling firms secretly sharing users’ data with Facebook without permission Betting companies secretly track visitors to their sites before sending data to parent company Meta

52 of 150 gambling sites tested shared data with Meta without consent. FB then bombarded the user with gambling ads, including from firms that weren't caught sharing data.

I'm going to take on the VERY AMBITIOUS project of real-time tracking Arsenal's potential round of 16 opponents as tonight's games progress.

If you don't quite get it, just know there will be four possible opponents at all times. When the games kick off, it'll look like this

This was FILTH

Great chat with the Blue Monday chaps on how Ipswich’s return to the PL has gone & whether they expect to win the relegation battle they’re in at present.

I love streamlit and network graphs so I made a "six degrees of separation" style app but for footballers.

"The Anelka Number" measures a player's degrees of separation from Nicolas Anelka.

Maybe it was Kostas actually:

Per Opta, Vangelis Pavlidis's hat-trick against Barcelona was:

🔸first by a Greek player in the UCL since Kostas Mitroglou in Oct 2013
🔸third quickest (from start of game) in UCL history
🔸Benfica's quickest in a major European game since Eusébio in 1965

3 - Vangelis Pavlidis’ hat-trick for Benfica against Barcelona was the third fastest from the start of a UEFA Champions League game (30 mins), after Robert Lewandowski vs FC Red Bull Salzburg in 2022 (23 minutes) & Marco Simone vs Rosenborg in 1996 (24 minutes). Rapid.

Need more urgency here. Playing into Brentford's hands here. Not playing quickly so it's allowing them to sit, rest and wait. Need to be more switched on. Brentford more up for this, so far.

The English word for schadenfreude should be dopamean.

Salah celebrating.

Mo Salah 👑

17 goals 13 assists (30 GA !!!!!!!!)

In just 18 Premier League games and BEFORE the New Year!

Incidentally, you’ll be shocked - shocked, I tell you - to hear that the assist is a Salah landmark…

It knocks Beckham out of the top 10 Premier League assists table, putting Salah there alone.

The man’s a machine.
