Theregulars

Not necessarily - our “true” level would surely involve more points accumulated if we didn’t play for 2 months with half a squad missing?

Christ - right you are. I was sure he was pushing 40 when he left. My mistake!

Re: Calvert-Lewin, it’s hard to find decent strikes who are prepared to be back-ups. I reckon a lot are probably quite egotistical / alpha and when a first choice striker is in form you may rotate them less if e.g. you need results. We’re shopping in a market where the player will know Isak is The Guy, and where it’s not somewhere we’re going to make a huge outlay. Similar to the Kelly transfer, if the aim isn’t to play him more than 50% of the time, then perhaps past injury issues are less concerning. I am probably trying to talk myself into it, but I think there’s probably some logic and value in there somewhere. + Howe would make him look better than ever before, you’d expect.

Lloris literally played as the spurs captain until he was 39.

Perhaps they figure he’ll be less injury-prone in a squad rotational role; or his injury prone-ness will be felt less keenly as a result

Yorkie v reds/blues

To be fair I think there are arguments for and against working from home if you have the debate in good faith. The issue is the coercion: it’s literally old fashioned. Businesses who insist on it won’t attract talent in the long run.

And don’t forget the super important meetings where 95% of the content bears no relevance to your work. Dat presenteeism

I’ve found Dirk Gently

Silva’s off TBF

I mean it’s one of the most important places in the history of human civilisation and one loved by many millions of people… has many, many good elements

Took the question directly out of my mouth

While I don’t like Liverpool is this not just the same at every club?

You know you don’t have to watch the build up to the matches?

Shiny happy people holding hands

Wonderful performance and result. Hopefully we never need to see Ritchie and dummett: literally costly

Genuinely think a historically anti-Newcastle refereeing performance

And the one he calls isn’t a foul!!!

Taylor

Referee absolutely doing his best

In the middle of our bus

Reprehensible, despicable and unjustifiable

Really unimaginative fare

good point.

Another woeful bit of officiating in the books.
