Political Science Prof at University of Southampton. I study misperceptions, fact-checking, and foreign policy attitudes. American in the UK. he/his (y'all whenever possible). Spurs #COYS.
Troy Parrott might return to the PL and score a ton of goals. If so, great for him and would be wonderful if at Spurs. But, there are probably more examples of players who didn’t successfully move AZ Alkmaar goal scoring success to the PL (Janssen and Jozy Altidore both spring to mind).
Very happy to see that former Spurs academy player Troy Parrott is scoring goals for club and country.

For all those saying Spurs should have kept him, I’ll just point out that Vincent Janssen also scored a ton of goals for AZ Alkmaar. Just some perspective for those suffering seller’s remorse.

If you just took the songs that are covers (I’m counting the Meat Puppets songs even though they joined) it would probably be the best covers EP of all time.

Reject. Needs more theory.

(Actually, I love it. Accept!)

Does the money really even exist? Who does this, versus say buy Trump crypto? Seems just as like that there’s a fictional donor (repurpose money in some way? Just owning the libs as they chase a made up thing? Who knows?). All options are bad & we don’t even know what bad we’re trying to discover.

Grass torn underfoot,
the ball slips through nervous feet—
passes lost, hopes fade.

As noted by others, I’m enjoying Marinakis struggling. MGW saga led to learning more about EM, and he seems a very shady dude. I wish struggles happening with someone else and that Ange was revitalizing a team somewhere. (I also think Forest fans deserve a better owner.)
