It's hard to tell because refs genuinely don't give fouls if players try to stay up, that's one of the reasons why they don't. Refs and VAR don't check for those kind of fouls even if they are obvious. A player going to ground is essentially 'i've been fouled' rather than literally having to...

What would you like him to do? The only option is shifting Garcia to RB but Garcia has been excellent in the middle. He is playing because he isn't absolutely terrible but he is still far below the level we want for our right back. We need a guy who can defend and attack and he isn't really...

Don't exclude the possibility of us making a run though. There are no real super teams, every top team has shown fair amounts of vulnerability. Whilst I don't expect or demand that we do, as we have already well overperformed our resources if we win LL back to back, I still consider it very...

Truly incredible manager. What is also important aside from tactics is the players really like him and everyone wants to play for him. Now it's time to find any way possible to back him in the next transfer markets. We have a great squad dragged down by some big holes, with a world class...

Come on, kids do all sorts of things, confirmation his kid is gay, are you serious? He's a little child, he probably just saw the clothes and found it interesting, kids do all kinds of dumb or playful stuff, obviously there is no sexual factor here. Gnid is acting like they dragged him into a...

Pull the brakes a bit, a little kid in fancy dress doesn't mean they're going to push him to transition. I don't even think one has anything to do with the other, its probably just for a laugh, nothing serious. And how do you know they are the ones who asked him to wear it? The kid probably...

30m for him is actually a good deal IF we can get him to lower his salary. The contract is the problem here, he is on a huge contract at United and we just won't be able to afford that for a guy who is not a starter, but I would personally love to have him here, I also think he is improving...

This is true, sometimes the effect of 'mentality' is very overplayed. Sometimes, rarely, it can stop a player from performing if it's rising to the level of a serious medical problem, but in these cases, there is usually something you can do about it. In general, a player's quality will...

So the question is, we were paying for what exactly? It seems obvious nobody pays 8 million euros for reports. It is reasonable to say Negreira had no actual influence over referees. Probably we paid him to have an advocate within the refereeing committee, receive information on what they...

At that point the only Muslim territory left is Granada, and they were a vassal to Castile (Catholic kingdom). The Emirate of Granada continued to exist until 1492 though, yes, but after 1230-1240 this was the only Muslim state left in the Iberian Peninsula and they were under some degree of...

It is clear that McLaren had favoured Norris across the season and intended for him to win. Qatar was a great example, one of the reasons they didn't pit during the safety car even though due to the race conditions it was objectively necessary, is because pitting both drivers would put Norris at...

Already by the 1200s almost all of al-Andalus had been recaptured by Christian armies, your history is not the most accurate here.

Norris also pays tribute to Oscar Piastri: “He’s newer to this than me but I’ve learned a lot from him. He was performing much better than me until the season break. I’ve really benefited from having him as a teammate – sadly, we’ve got plenty more seasons together! “I went away and worked on...

Right time to sell as still possible to get a huge fee for him, Liverpool should demand 100m+, the Saudi teams will be willing to meet it given how lucrative of a target Salah is from the marketing perspective.

The thing is, he could miss a few, he could score a few, but at least the chances fall to him because he is fast and works hard so he can get in positions to score. Lewandowski doesn't have that mobility so he doesn't get many chances against these aggressive top teams who press you hard, he is...
