Broadly how I feel, this

I’ll be honest, I’m finding it really difficult to be too angry with any of them. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch, but it’s clear they’re trying and I think they deserve applause for that given what happened in the summer. I no others will be fuming, which is totally fair.

Liverpool here, achieving something Amorim has failed to do by making Man Utd look like a decent team

Michael Oliver "doesn't see" an awful lot, for a guy whose job heavily involves seeing things

The rules on what's a foul and what's a foul on Salah are absolutely miles apart aren't they? It's wild how much licence there is to just boot him when he's on the ball

The hotel stay was all fine. The worst part of the whole experience was the deluge of email shite checking I was having a nice time.

Sam @blessedwithpace.bsky.social · 5d

Totalled 12 emails about a single night booking. This included separate ones for "welcome" and "how is your stay?" within minutes of me checking in, and two this morning asking me how my stay was.

This is insanity

This seems less likely now

This one ended up in my junk folder. Do I need to check the news?!

They've sent me two more. That's seven emails in about 40 minutes.

Nothing meaningful has actually been resolved, none of the deeply engrained root causes have been addressed, and as with everything it's a vanity project that he wants to demand praise for, but that'll collapse when tested even slightly

I'm no expert on solving the nuanced complexities of the situation in the Middle East, but the idea that a dickhead like Trump is going to deliver any kind of long-term, sustainable peace in the region beyond these initial developments is absolutely laughable.

Agree with all of this, it cuts both ways when you're scoring and conceding in added time

You nerds can all do the tactical dismantling, XG stuff, all that shit, I might read some of it

Sam @blessedwithpace.bsky.social · 16d

Add to that the sudden, tragic loss of a much loved teammate (and a fucking great footballer), it's a lot.

Not excuses, just reasons we haven't been good yet. I reckon I'd have taken a point off top for now tbh.

Think we'll probably be fine overall, it's just shit right now.

I thought a long time ago that you can't make this many wholesale changes to a squad and expect it to click

There are two many variables for there to be good cohesion. Not just new faces in the team, stuff like the commercial pre-season nonsense, different personalities, tactical and system changes

A Lego car and a panda plushy
A small jigsaw and a Pokémon figure
I say that's the Entertainer
That's the Entertainer

A playdoh kit, a brand new Uno
A giant furby and they're now open on Sundays
That's the Entertainer
That's the Entertainer
