Copying across some facts (a thread that will run on, and that is entirely true if you look it up):

1. Everest is not the tallest mountain on earth. It’s also not the furthest from the centre of the earth.

He’s done it before very successfully tho

Oh, for sure, Milos in the league cup 🤝

Hear me out:

Play Gomez at right and left-back.

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 15h

IMHO Kerkez needs to wait like Robbo and Fab did. They need to learn the system. Too many changes!

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 15h

Hear me out:

Play Joe Gomez at left-back.

I mean, if she wanted to highlight that she’s not the sharpest tool in the box, retweeting an obvious parody really is an excellent way to start!

The sad thing is the absolute core of CM/FM’s success was how intuitive it was (if you knew football). Everything was clickable in a way that made sense, and you could go as deep or as shallow as you like. The bad releases (of which there are a handful) always lost that fundamental.

I think you are very much forgetting Modric’s first season at Spurs…

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

I subscribe to this

No, he is dreadful with his feet! And he’s left-footed!!

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

Dom in mid, not the worst

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

That was the Arne Slot kick-off! Genuinely, he invented that. Wonder if anyone will pick up on it.

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

But I contend that shouldn’t matter 😕

On that, the very one-footed left-back is also an issue. I think people never really appreciated how good Robertson was in tight spaces.

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

“Alright” and being very one-footed are big worries for me I’m afraid. And opposition teams will take advantage of it.

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

😆

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

With (genuine) respect:

1) At this level that shouldn’t be an issue
2) Disagree, he lamped it out of play or bobbled it plenty of times this match

The author of a book remembering the Fergie years fondly makes quip about time being added on 😉

Except with the ball at his feet.

David Quainton @dqstuff.bsky.social · 2d

Did we know Mamardashvili can’t pass a moving ball very well before we signed him?

We aren’t winning the title this year either way. Arsenal or City. You can’t make as much change as we did and expect success immediately. Might improve enough to win the Champs League, mind…

Card companies taking on the risk though, no? If it gets stolen they give you it back straight away. That was my experience when it happened anyway.
