Happy new season! One very basic but crucial thing Premier League sides have realised over the last couple of years is that you need a goalkeeper who can...actually save shots. This is obviously very important for those at the bottom of the league. ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...

Can’t get my head around this fee. What about this player or his record justifies that level of spend?

Today's @theathleticfc.bsky.social podcast with Kate Mason and Rob Green about the future of Liverpool pod.fo/e/55fe42

Liverpool need wingers to stretch the play and threaten in behind. Minteh isn't the sort to constantly cut inside so the fact he's a left footer on the right isn't an issue. Would prefer if he wasn't injured but I'm probably asking for too much there.

Dan Lawrence has the exact physique of what I imagine the characters of J.L. Carr's "As Season In Sinji" to look like. A certain air of resigned sadness mixed with a very British kind of assumed fortitude.

"LIVERPOOL LOOK LIKE A TEAM FLAILING & THRASHING AGAINST THE END OF AN ERA, DESPERATE TO START A NEW ONE" 👀 What is "success" for Liverpool this season? 🤔 @yeti

First things first, the annual pre-season predictions pod is upon us. Last season I predicted Arsenal would win the league with 85 points and my off the wall prediction was that we wouldn't get any red cards. Tough act to follow... www.arsenalvisionpodcast.com/episodes/epi...

THIS TEAM WILL BE THE WEST HAM OF 2026/27 👀😬 Rog & Rory's PL relegation predictions are HERE 📉 @yeti

The most frustrating thing about this is from 2019-2022 MLS played single elimination playoffs, and that produced four straight absolute fucking banger postseasons, which culminated in the best MLS game ever played (2022 MLS Cup). And the power that be were like "nah fuck that."

Prediction markets serve no purpose other than to extract wealth from those who can least afford it; to monetise everything, death included; to provide an undetectable money-laundering tool for criminals. They are a threat to national/global security. Yet they can obtain gambling licences in the UK.
