I am seeing it in literally 40m

Not far off a majority of doors on my recent round!

Step back a bit more and you'll see it! Rather than assume PM as ambassador was the goal (in which case the whole process is bewildering), assume MMc et al were acting both logically and self-interestedly, and ask what then actually happened here?

You said it better than I could have. Even now, OP is still doing that pol-journo wood-for-the-trees thing. The value for e.g. MM isn't in Mandy as ambassador but in the expected future return of such a huge favour for such a connected "friend".

I've never been so personally attacked

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated Tottenham are really bad and looking at the way this team has been constructed, one thing clearly stands out: This team is really bad at passing the ball, and that may explain their present malaise.

I wrote about how Spurs used new some numbers terribly and ended up with a super-expensive team of players who can't pass: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I started this series thanks to your early recommendation, and it has not disappointed.

(Also the nice thing about AT is knowing the final book will arrive, and usually pretty soon)

Painful state of affairs when my club is being dragged by my econ/pol follows

Oh wow.

I guess in this case it's Chinese govt?

I have always wondered about these ads, and never known whether it was a) not-really-existent thing propped up by money for an alternative purpose or b) huge, wildly famous event attended by parts of the public with whom I never cross paths (see also megachurches).

There are now more tech workers going from the US to Europe than the other way around

Fighting over a comb, but surely this *is* (hire a ~DoF and back him) trying and failing (it's Johan Lange)?

how do you handle that without equivalent control of the output though?

You referenced the fifth place finish, which was the previous season.

I'm arguing at the margins here though - you're right that Frank had us playing much worse than our baseline.

I just think more people need firing.

I don't agree that was a worse squad before injuries. Even the declining Son produced much more than any of these forwards are capable of. And without either Maddison or Kulu this one contains ~zero midfield passing. We've bought poorly, and worse when viewed holistically. (🤞Lange also goes)

We do, though, have a very bad squad. Not players, per se, squad. Technical ability is distributed poorly. Lots of players who do similar things in certain positions. Players who have very specific skillsets that aren't being used or that are challenging to fit together.

This was not a pro Corbyn message. That is what they did, though, so it's a bit rich to complain about a critical media now.

They were also perfectly happy to use our media to knife the previous leadership. They really ought to have understood how this would work..

I truly believe there is nothing more important that civic-minded multi-millionaires could do right now than start up local newspapers and run them at a small but steady loss

and the benefits are amazing -- everyone has to talk to you and you get to act like you're a good and important person

We don't!

And how's the food?

He already looks a lot bigger to me, so I think this is in progress

Songs that are both comedic and meaningful are a sweet spot for me (love e.g. that part of Warren Zevon's oeuvre), and it seemed like AS could churn them out at will.

All the damn time

The 4-0 over City was still (indeed, was the last gasp of) proper Angeball

That's the right bet for a club in our position.

Oh it sucks balls, but release clauses aren't exactly release clauses in the UK, as we've also learned this summer
