Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

yeah. i think a big part is that the spanish squad that won things made an effort to address this, xavi and casillas famously friends who tried to bring everyone together. but if they could do it (at height of clasico nastiness with mou vs pep), anyone can.

he didn't invent that nickname. some random person online did and it grew organically. it's about him but it doesn't belong to him.

Chelsea and England playmaker Cole Palmer has successfully trademarked the term ‘Cold Palmer’.

Palmer’s application, submitted to the UK government’s Intellectual Property Office in November, was approved on Friday.

bit weird that england specifically would have this. it's not like spain where one club rivalry rooted in cultural divides dominates everything. it's not like belgium where people don't natively speak the same language.

i mean, yeah, but this is hardly a unique problem at international level. but the sides that won trophies often addressed it head on and found ways to get everyone on the same page. it just went ignored at england.

Former England captain Steven Gerrard has described sometimes “hating” international duty and claimed star players being “egotistical losers” damaged the side’s chances of success.

absolutely love it when foul throws are called tbh. elite professionals failing to follow the most basic of rules. always funny.

Mike Goodman @themlg.bsky.social · 4d

If everybody’s gonna do long throws then we’re gonna have to end the gentleman’s agreement on not calling foul throws.

frimpong right wing in front of szoboszlai right back is the most benitez tactical move liverpool have done since 2010.

var was designed to be a sticking plaster to the problem that people can't grow up and accept sometimes decisions will go against their team. we're never going to fix this as long as that is the real issue.
