Yeah this version of City is very Haaland gets the shots & if a shot isn't Haaland it's a mistake. Expect Mings & Onana to start this one, quite interested to see if we go with the Malen two or Guessand though I think it will be the latter.

If I remember right Dionysus has a damage over time effect which can stack up pretty heavily if you can get a few of them. But yeah pretty mid tier boons.

Damn! So close
It's one of the few games to really use failure to it's advantage. If you don't know what's up on the surface yet I won't spoil it but it's a really nice but of writing & acting that makes you want to continue doing runs.

Also a great doc series on it:

For a guy who grew up in a part of the UK with a very low number of Jewish people, South Park was basically an introduction to a lot of antisemitism & it's related conspiracy theories.
Lot of that stuff got repeated & ingrained over those teenage years.

The back half of the second half wasn't great at all agreed. Sometimes a maverick that doesn't listen to Emery gives you the idea you need in that situation but we went down to their only good open play chance & we live & die by our 10s without better width on the right.
RB is still my Jan loan pick

Hope the camp takes it as a sometimes you get footballed result because that's really what it was.
Though rethinking defending set pieces is needed because a side starting Martinez, Mings, Onana & Watkins shouldn't be this vulnerable to them.

It's canon that Hades likes a Jack & coke so if you go boxing gloves you better hope Hermes grants you the movement speed to get out of there when Daddy gets a bit fighty.

The nice aof boons from Zeus & Artemis are good for early run & hydra but Ares, Athena & Hermes speed boons go hard against the big man himself.

Supergiant finally making gameplay that reaches the level of their storytelling & music chops is fantastic.
My tips depends on your build for the run, but I found the shield the best to first beat him. Get it with the charge, deal as much pain as possible, the keep your distance.

Thanks for saving a good half hour of googling to see if I should pull savings out of investment accounts because as soon as I thought about it I was not confident.

Well I hope they aren't all tied up in bonds & betting on said bonds this time 🤞.
Surely they regulated that after 2008 right? [Padme meme]

As the gif obscures the link Tel Aviv derby cancelled due to fan behaviour. The local Tel Aviv plods must be antisemitic too by the logic of all heads of major British political parties.

Y'known apart from Polanaki who is actually Jewish.

That was felt like a must win 6 pointer & we got through even if it wasn't pretty at all.
Still question marks but making up the points on Spurs, Newcastle, Palace & Bournemouth puts us back in the top 5 running, if just on the edge of it.
2-4 from the next two keeps us there.

It's supposed to be the second striker role he played at Burnley where either he or McGinn were in the RM in defensive phases. Or where his run starts in the wide area as a rest attacker for the first goal. Though I guess a lot of people would visualise that as a front 2.

Dan Pritchard - Another fananalyst data nerd @1874pritch.bsky.social · 6d

Close but I didn't count on Watkins' fitness.

How I go Vs Spurs.

They don't have any good midfield passers, apply pressure there & win the ball with Onana & Kamara. McGinn is further forward to cut out long passes into the wide players. Digne needs to cut off Kudus (he's not that quick so I back him to do this).

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums.

Thank you.

Honestly respect an interim coach having more ideas than stick the lads in a 4231, even if that idea is bad. The team is bad, & you're also looking for a new sporting director, it's bleak so have some fun.

Chasing American production values is what killed the show under JNT the first time, just saying.

I'd so happily go back to bubble wrap monsters to get an actual decent number of stories.
I've had to get into 40k just to fill my apparent need for British scifi in my life (I'm not sure what it is exactly but there's a vibe to all of it that I like).

Or other leaders have incorrectly called this antisemitic & you are the labour leader after Corbyn, wanting to avoid looking antisemitic, want to support NATO/US & have the political instincts of a rusty trolly.
Israel throwing lobby money at a ton of non-US politicians is a antisemitic conspiracy.

Tbh UEFA really could have for seen & avoided a lot of this. Once amnesty international says hey this is a genocide you just say you can't compete in our competitions until that stops. Russia was, Serbia/Yugoslavia was, quite silly not to in this case.
