I always wonder why people say we should avoid Crunch in the games industry, they taste good.

Edit the episodes to take them out, get voiceover to fill in the blanks “the judges thought the food was etc.” and broadcast what’s left in a condensed series.

Hopefully will also work better now because if Renee wants someone, that should mean she is intending to use them. We might just have to be more strategic and step away from market opportunities, thinking carefully about how we allocate resources.

Or you sign Kafaji profiles and have a loan plan to develop elsewhere first, like how it worked for Saliba in the Arsenal men’s team.

Think perhaps the age profile we’re looking at sometimes is a bit too young, and we should be looking at those aged 22-24 already in WSL or a similarly good league who are ready to step up. It might cost more, but can’t help but look at Van Domselaar and how we handled that as a model to follow.

This sounds brilliant. I missed the first Death Stranding, will the story make enough sense to a series newbie if I haven’t played it (well, as much sense as a Hideo Kojima game can make!)

I started laughing in disbelief about how many goals Arsenal were scoring when Trossard got our 5th. We looked so free-flowing after struggling to make chances in previous games. Amazing. Have you ever had an unusual reaction to an Arsenal goal going in, and if so, what was it? #arsecastextra

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Is that a Nietzsche quote or the GB News Mission Statement?

Wonder if an issue with someone like Nick Cushing as Arsenal Women manager, is if he’s not a ‘popular choice’ it could do undone the unity that’s been rebuilt under Renee Slegers. The optics of hiring a sacked manager might be ‘difficult’. Think this could be a factor @tim-stillman.bsky.social?

Feel like this on the assisted dying debate, main thought is why the rush? Isabel Hardman wrote a great piece about the dangers of well-meaning but rushed legislation in her book on why we get the wrong politicians. More work needs to be done on thinking about the optics of decision making.
