I'm gonna watch the Forest game this evening and try and make an active effort to convince myself that they're shit and will fall away.

Apparently Trossard was sent off against City for 'delaying the restart'. Think he said they had another one for that too but I'm not sure which.

What I can't get my head around is why Tesla are still putting up with this... isn't he meant to be their CEO? What kind of a look is this. How many of the pro-electric car/environmentalist individuals are in line with his current worldview? I don't really understand how the ground hasn't collapsed beneath his feet yet.

I honestly think he has far less support here than he imagines he does.

Aye, I was talking to an Arsenal fan the other day and he was saying they'd had two players sent off for time wasting Arteta clearly taking the 'if you can't beat'em, join'em' approach with this. Shame then that he doesn't know how to do it properly... why are your players already on yellow cards, doing the timewasting? That feels like a fairly stupid approach.

Brace yourselves, apparently the yanks are coming to "liberate" us

Maguire at the end The last player any Man Utd fan would want to be on the end of that chance. You'd imagine they'd sooner have it fall to Onana.

So how should we play this over two legs then? Same as usual for both, or try to be more conservative in game 1?

This actually stuck in my head a bit, that PSR has fundamentally changed the game into less of a transfer free for all, and it dawned on me that against that backdrop, the value of Howe is underlined even further. Because if you can't just buy players to solve your problems, you instead have to coach and train them to be better. This means that any team with a very hands on, in the details coach - as with Howe - is in a stronger position than those that operate with chequebook managers. I would say his value to the club is far higher under PSR than it would have been otherwise (not that it wouldn't have been high anyway).

Aye, turns out "the guy who got Bournemouth relegated" actually might have been a good choice.

Honestly feel like Botman with a few more games back under his belt wouldn't even have let them have that tbh.

Have to say like, think Spurs might actually be outdoing Villa as the saltiest... the number of people failing to understand the handball rule and calling corruption is actually impressive.

This game has broken Postecoglou based on that interview

I think this version of our team might be challenging the 90s era version in terms of how much I like them. Villa, Man Utd and Spurs, all put to the sword in a row. Fucking hell. We're getting CL this season. Calling it now. We're probably the 3rd best team in the league realistically.

Does feel like all civil service accounts on twitter should close. Whether they go to Bluesky or not, I don't know, but at minimum they should be off Twitter. See if we can get some wider movement going beyond that maybe but Musk has to be ostracised for this shit sooner or later.

I'm wondering if he's trying to bait people on free speech or something here. Frankly though, if he is in any way officially associated with their government, we expel their fucking ambassador over this shit.

I was just honouring OTF's request tbh...

He is massively overrated like. Hooper-esque.

Only just caught up with this thread... missed all spoilers. I'll definitely give it a look 👍

He's picked no more than one player per team. Some attempt at diplomacy i suppose

This is absolutely true mind - some really disconcerting stuff starting to come out about him. Good riddance when he's done.

Never heard of it, what is the concept?

I think they might be right with that claim though. But for a few miles, we could all be mackems. Lucky escape indeed.

You'd have to hope we'd get a few mill for him though... do US clubs pay that sort of money these days? Not that I'm sure how much he'd be worth.. £10-15m?

I think removing assault rifles would be a significant first step at least - I assume that would reduce the mass shootings. It's not like the constitution was even set up with such weapons in mind.
