Why Dominant Teams Don't Always Make for the Best Transfer Targets: the Curious Case of BodΓΈ/Glimt - Analytics FC Neel Shelat looks at the hugely successful Norwegian club BodΓΈ/Glimt and asks why many of their players do not seem able to replicate their feats elsewhere

One of the most interesting pieces of analysis I've ever done imo: a look at why BodΓΈ/Glimt's players generally tend to do poorly after moving to a bigger league despite all their recent domestic success for @analyticsfc.bsky.social:

I think both will be sold. Nunez unfortunately not good enough, Jota always injury prone.

What a magnificent game at Anfield. The people, companies and states who own and control football clubs today might be awful, but the players care, a lot, and do the fans - and all of us. A reminder that football is too precious to be left to the bastards, who should be fought every inch of the way.

Robertson should only play big games as when he's on form and rested, he's still world class.

We shouldn't be playing him against Newcastle or Brentford

Trent, unfortunately, doesn't have his head in the right place. Such a shame.

Trent was absolutely terrible today. Don't think he should start next match.

From the 2017 crackdown to a disputed report: Law firm’s role in Saudi’s World Cup plans A human rights assessment made by law firm AS&H Clifford Chance for Saudi Arabia's bid for the World Cup in 2034 has been labelled flawed and far from independent by human rights organisations.

Something to keep in mind when FIFA and others tout the 'independent human rights assessment' tomorrowπŸ€”

Good result, bad performance. Alisson Motm, Szoboszlai one of the few that showed the required intensity. Glad Slot was angry in his interviews and made it clear the performance wasn't acceptable. This guy has high standards - love it.

Gary Speed passed away 13 years ago today.

I had no connection to him through the club I support but his death is one that I pause for thought over every year on the anniversary. It’s so easy to brush mental health under the carpet and β€œget on with it” I do it myself but I shouldn’t.

RIP ❀️

He genuinely looks depressed. I hope he's OK, that is self harm 101
