Well the president was not dead when we scheduled this, as a matter of fact he died on the way here. So anyway we’re going to do Alabama with the space force

My prescription for helping electoral politics remains the same: you either get to vote for candidates who you think are epic to watch on tv and online, or you get to vote for the candidates who actually run things and have policies. Separate elections and you can’t vote in both. That’s felony fraud

Love that the midfield influences the match defensively too. Bentancur is optimized, looking much more like 2022 Lolo. Sarr is everywhere. Palhinha erased a couple of attacks. It’s not just Micky snuffing out candles at the last second (when he did intervene crucially, 5 friendlies were around too)
Padraig “Pod” Castman (@alanwhickers.bsky.social) reply parent
Also when Tottenham regains possession under Frank they try cool shit. Immediate attempts to move the ball forward without sacrificing defensive positioning

I agree. I’ve always thought Bissouma was the player on the squad with the most talent, just desperately needs a coach who can man-manage the best out of him. Lolo should go before Bissouma - we can and should get an upgrade over him in a box to box capacity
