From the way he pulled up, would be more concerned about his L hamstring. Can’t remember if that was the same one he injured last season against Fulham, but instead of chasing Adama Traore, it was Sadio Mane. This is worrying.

We got rosc, but family opted for comfort measures shortly thereafter. So never went to cath lab.

An emeritus program director from my residency (originally from Germany) told me in 2015 of the similarities he saw between here and Germany in the late 1920s. Again no specifics, but just a vibe.

Its impact wasn’t just confined to Africa. My father, who was still in India when Lumumba was murdered, has told me of how upset people were in India at the news, feeling a sense of betrayal by the Americans to the anti colonialist movements worldwide.

Slow Horses, Andor series 2. The Pitt is also quite good about as realistic a medical show as I’ve seen.

Would be interested in a profile of Luis Enrique, including tactical influences/evolution. Seems a thoroughly fascinating individual.

Easy for fans to forget that it’s only second year in champions league (for this group), manager is still in his first job, and while he had a hell of an apprenticeship, limited experience as a player or coach at this stage in tournament. PSG a hell of a team, and Enrique a hell of a manager.

This reminds me a little of the 2007 semis when a young Manchester United team with Ronaldo/Rooney et al (after drawing the first leg at home) were taken apart by the Milan of Seedorf/Kaka/Pirlo away in the semifinal second leg.

Still pinching myself that he came to Arsenal. 20 years ago no way Ferguson lets him go anywhere else.
