You should have heard Tim Montgomerie defend Farage on R4 yesterday with such enthusiasm. I have never heard someone speak over themselves before

I have no idea what happened at the Badbadnotgood gig at
@southbankcentre.bsky.social tonight. The sound levels where all over the place. Drums drowned out pretty much everything in South London. The only person you could see on stage was the sound engineer. x5 tickets @£50 for noise

Totally agree. It's also an issue about family being together. I have three season tickets for myself and two sons. My other son is at University so has a membership. Therefore we will not be able to sit together.

Glasner's tactical know-how is exceptional. His use of substitutes again was spot on. The ball is well and truly in the owners court if they have the desire to back him realistically and dev the club. If not, says a lot about the level of ambition from the owners #cpfc.

I think we are allowed two loan players from the Prem so you are right. Turner being the other

Incredible indictment of the quality British male football managers in the Premier League - At the start of the 24/25 season there were 6 British managers out of 20 Premier league managers. 4/6 have now been sacked while 2/14 non British managers have been sacked. - Poor leadership and culture?

Uncertainty has already become a themed term for 2025 - To make sense of what is going on we can do no worse than turning to Zygmunt Bauman's theory of liquid modernity. His sociological sense making saw well in advance how uncertainty would unfold.

Munoz reminds me a lot of PVA although the latter was not a wing back but played like one. PVA and Zaha were immense together and one feels Eze would benefit with a more attach minded wing back. However, but be a bit too gung ho having a PVA equivalent

How long will it take me to read through the out pouring of #LinkedIn members sharing their 'reflections' of 2024? On the one hand you feel a moral obligation to read them while on the other hand you feel guilty falling asleep half way through. A anthropological interpretation is needed for sure.

It will be at lease 10 years since announcing the new stand that it will be built - Taking into consideration there is no start date and the build will take 2 year. By then, there is a good argument that the design will be (or already is) out of date. #cpfc

7 years ago since @officialcpfc.bsky.social announced the go ahead with the new stand. It took the pharaohs 20 years to build the pyramids, although in fairness to Palace, they did not have to deal with Croydon Council #cpfc .

Sadly the Marc Guehi slogan is embodied in psychoanalytical and anthropological codes. - Denial, taboo, pollution, purity etc etc. Yet, tt also exposes the @eplscores.bsky.social for assuming they can, through a ritualised performance of wearing a armband, address an important societal issue. #cpfc
