🥽⚽VR entering the football world again over the weekend.
This time with Shearer on Match of the Day. Earlier this year, Burnley streamed a VR experience for their friendly v Lazio whilst some Club World Cup matches were available in AR/VR.

Far more balanced structure than Thursday v Midtjylland as Anderson and Milenkovic tasked with more fitting roles. #epl-live #nffc

Forest begin with a 541/3421 this time v Newcastle. #nffc

Christina @christina6ys.bsky.social · 5d

Quite the rough looking 532/352~ Ange/Forest put out from the start. A little needs must with the lack of fullbacks but tough one to pull off. Murillo off injured sees a reshuffle to 433 with Savona coming in. Lack of sub use was an interesting choice. #nffc

25 - Wolves have already made 25 changes to their starting XI in the Premier League this season; through the first seven games of a single campaign, only two sides have ever made more (29 for Man Utd in 2001-02 & 26 for Man City in 2012-13). Tinker.

Just discovered the {gm} package, which lets you programmatically create sheet music (and audio!) with #rstats (with MuseScore as the backend) flujoo.github.io/gm/index.html

library(dplyr)

"A5", "q", "born",
"F#5", "q/3*(q/8)", "to",
"G5", "q/3", "be._",

)

music <-

Slot said he did this because he anticipated Gala to play in a certain way that meant Szoboszlai would end up in midfield (w the inverted LW) with Frimpong more RWB (w the high LB) but as is common v Liverpool the opposition did something different than usual.

Gakpo was benched v Palace not because he needed a rest but to give Bradley minutes. He benched Salah v Gala not to rest him but to give Jones/Frimpong mins. Slot is not a 'rotation' manager but he's trying to be proactive and getting burned/destabilizing the team in the process. #lfc

We should fear common method variance; especially in self-report scales.

A nonsense likert scale ‘predicts’ later relationship satisfaction.
We are getting results using methods when we are measuring nothing.

Life satisfaction mostly declines with age. Previous findings (esp. the famous U-shaped age-SWB trajectory) were artifacts of misspecified models. doi.org/10.1093/esr/...
