- Is the referee lagging?
- Every time Chelsea and Manchester United play each other their brains fall out hahahahaha what is this game
- Monaco just an incredible fumble for French football
- They can't and won't keep getting away with this
- My month spent over the summer binge-watching 34 Marseille games is finally going to feel relevant tonight
- I definitely overlooked Ekitike's dueling when scouting him back in March. I focused too heavily on his lack of bodyweight and ability to get barged out of the way, and missed what he can do to put defenders off - using his arms to keep them away
- Did Emery use Guessand off the right yesterday?
- Stop that Angel Gomes

- Is it too early to confirm a wildcard/transfers in FPL. I know I should wait but I cba

- Cyclists of London, we built you roads, we built you traffic lights, we didn't build you them so you could blaze through red lights. Are you colourblind? bring back diesel
- Maybe Donnarumma will be mostly flawless in shot-stopping at Man City, but can we please stop framing his signing as, "He's a great shot-stopper, just terrible with his feet". Arsenal. Atletico Madrid. Newcastle. Dortmund. Liverpool. Last two seasons, go and watch the goals.
- Just remembered he's still only 23 😂😂😂
- Been watching all of Chelsea's games this season and my word, Caicedo is just phenomenal. Step ahead of everyone else in anticipating loose balls and winning it back. Gonna be HUGE for them

- Stop that Malick Fofana
- On X, I'm trying to actively apply a filter to my takes. Here though, I'm happy to post more of my general thoughts. One of those is that Simons to Spurs is probably the biggest superstar they've signed in a decade. He has flaws, but an electric & fun player that I love
- I'm going to be posting Spurs analysis and I'm worried I'm gonna get hated. It's not saying they are bad, just way less hyped than most people are on them
- Which team has 10 men again?
- Think a few years ago in football, there was a big need for traditional scouts/people in the game to combine their 'eye test' with new data. Now, I believe there's a chunk of data analysts who rely on the data too much, and undervalue the 'eye test'

- Started Sels and Forest have imploded
- In the space of a week I've gone from thinking that Marseille could potentially do something big this season, as they were pretty unlucky last year + made nice transfers - to now being v sceptical that RDZ even lasts the season lol
- Really enjoyed Acheampong's ball carrying today, feel like it's something I haven't seen from Chelsea's other CBs under Maresca, at least to this frequency. It's helped a lot to disrupt Palace's block
- It's a small thing, but interesting that Guardiola subbed Haaland for Cherki. Probably his two weakest players at pressing, and has only had one of them on the pitch at all times. Accommodating those two going forward is a fun thing to keep an eye on
- Bring on Cherki
- Absolutely no one is rating West Ham and I'm sorta more positive. Haven't watched pre-szn, apparently wasn't amazing or anything, but think it's gonna count for a lot that Potter has actually had time with squad, + additional signings to make it more suited to his style
- #nottinghamforest fans (or #nffc) here's some analysis from me on Kalimuendo - I love him!

- Could tel he was gonna miss that
- I almost admire Slot's approach to allowing Frimpong to go forward, which is, "meh don't worry about covering for him"
- I reckon he's on personally
- Bit of a random one, but this video is a thought-provoking watch for anyone who makes content. Tackles everything that makes art, art. The barrier between it and making things for consumption. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aSE...
- It's rare that I have an extreme take on a player, but I'm gonna say it: Nico Paz is the next Kevin De Bruyne
- Battlefield 6 trailer makes me want to take the plunge and get a gaming PC Never done it before and they just look incredibly expensive, especially for tech that may not work as well in 4-6 years. Thoughts?
- Watching Como's entire season has reminded me what tactical flexibility actually speaks to. It's not just tweaks game to game. Cesc Fabregas has mixed between a range of different approaches. Looking to dominate possession, looking to build more incrementally, trying to create transitional moments..
