I absolutely loved this documentary. One of my faves. Thrilled to see it’s on Channel 4. A great vibe. 😁

Agree 100%
Some folks want blood but i'm a hard NO on sacking the coach.
A caretaker doesnt change the pressure on the players, give them new found confidence or accelerate the process for those still grieving.
All you do is sack a league winning coach who had to manage one of his players dying #lfc

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

There’s late winners… and then there’s 90+17!!! 👀🤯
🇮🇶🎉 Iraq’s chances of reaching a first World Cup since 1986 are still alive!

That’s after they beat UAE in the last Asian qualifier to secure a place in FIFA’s inter-confederation playoffs.

There’s something special about world cups being every four years. Players only get so many chances to play in them. And fans measure time with them too. Each World Cup feels like a marker on a timeline of a football fans lifetime. You know where you were.

Those goals. Unbelievable.
Every one of them.

1-0 🤸🏻‍♂️ One of the finest overhead kicks you will see.
2-1 ⚠️ A corner whipped right in the danger zone.
3-2 💫 A long range curled wonder strike.
4-2 🤯 And a folklore-cementing lob from the halfway line.

Ridiculous. 😍🤪

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

This "haptic visuality" is what I've always meant by "texture" but didn't know how to talk about it. This is a fantastic video
This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

Another brilliant studio talk today. I’d never heard someone speak about video games like Rob does. This talk is itself probably the most ‘grown up’ analysis of any aspect of gaming that I’ve seen.😅👏👏

If Donnarumma didn’t get chipped by Martinelli, City would be top of the league right now! 🧐

Do you think Conor Bradley can’t sleep tonight because of the adrenaline? 🤪

Or is he flat out deep sleep because he’s absolutely knackered? 🤣

Sometimes there’s a handball and it hits an elbow or bicep. But this hits his hand and you see it flapping about from the impact. 🤣🤣 #LFC

Alexis MacAllister got choked on one corner, then put in a head lock in the follow up corner and he loved it. 🤣

Hopefully tonight reinvigorated his Argentinian “gaucho” spirit 🤪👊
