Finally, a practical solution to growing autocracy that has infrastructure, resources and the Constitution behind it. In fact, it's already happening. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

I wonder if our other young players were offered the same choice of loan or to stay. I think Vuskovic made a smart choice. If Tel was offered the same, not sure he made the right choice there. Bringing in RKM suggests Frank thinks he's not ready. Let's hope he gets enough minutes on the wing.

Okay #COYS folks...I've been given the reins of a column on Pure Football. What should I write about? I'm always drawn to #strategy related topics even when it comes to football. But I'm looking for thoughts and inspiration.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

Pep is doing that tough job of rebuilding on the fly. Itās possible but they let the rebuilding start too late. So now itās a bit disjointed as a squad. His teams can start slowly. So I give him more benefit than most.

He wonāt be first. Nuno is going during the break. But he might be third.

That's probably about right. Late winter depending on how the league and Europe are going... An early FA Cup and Caraboa Cup exit will get them making notes...

I'm joking. You know how it goes with Spurs, 18 month FC.

Heās close to being out of his depth according to the average Spurs timeline.

I worked on some political campaigns...and it isn't often you can actually support someone that has the moral compass that @chriswarcraft.bsky.social talks about. Actually, you don't usually find that these days. Thanks to @marisakabas.bsky.social for putting this interview together.

The staying in his prime thing probably gets answered by whether this is the peak of this new era or the start of a new way of managing the team.

I had to get an ablation because mine seem to be set off by viral infections. I never had them before COVID. Then I caught that strain in winter 2022 and it threw me into a mess. The ice pack thing, Iāll try. The alcohol thing is something I never knew. So thanks for that.
