This is excellent.
I think clocks on setpieces would make a difference (because it would be more physically demanding to send the centre backs up if you had 8 seconds to take a throw-in) but so would actually applying the existing rules and not resetting the "grammar" of throws 40 yards from goal.

I'm watching Arsenal-Chelsea and for some reason I thought people might be interested in a newsletter about how the set piece revolution in the Premier League has led to fewer open play goals and tons of six-yard-box shoving www.expectinggoals.com/p/the-set-pi...

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

the price of populism
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"
