Angry take for the weekend: Luke Shaw is a bitch. Betancour’s tackle was clean. Tough shit. He started the fight, faked getting head butted and all to get a player sent off. I hope he gets suspended after Tottenham’s appeal and is on the end of a two footed tackle. Fuck him.

Trump's massive surveillance state and attacks on our civil liberties wouldn't have been possible without the PATRIOT Act. Watch this prescient warning from Russ Feingold, the only Senator to vote against its passage after 9/11.

Great match. There were some nearly moments where Arsenal could have made it a 2 or 3 goal lead. Odegaard and Raya were great. Saka was the hardest worker out there and nearly scored again.

Does it strike anybody else as a bit odd that several clubs who are under investigation for financial breaches / already been sanctioned keep selling players to each other for massive fees above what other clubs value those players at?

From one Josh to another, good job. You have made all Josh’s proud.

Watched the match back this morning to do a bit of analysis & I spotted a couple of things.. For example with this Spurs freekick, Mathys Tel hits the ball too high (circled in red), when he should’ve ideally aimed at the goal (circled in yellow). Subtle issue, but just thought it was interesting.

I’m not going to let all the GM talk spoil this win. The club and the player need to separate. That has been true since the beginning of last season, when he became a substitute and neither side opened negotiations for an extension. The club should have not made that ridiculous Galatasaray rumor.

His agent should have worked last season to secure a move this summer. He has done a huge service to the club, but has plateaued at LW. He needs a club that will allow him to make use of being right footed, quick, inventive, and skillful. Arsenal are not that club.

You have to think Arsenal knew this before the public and that’s what has led them to have a go for Vini.

This has been going on in Maine for years. Often an educator is allowed to resign without their acts ever having been made public because personnel matters are resolved by school boards under executive session, meaning in private. It benefits the offender and the school board and harms kids.
