    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    notwithstanding the results, just the sheer number of whistles and especially the delays for the replays slowed the game down, made it choppy, best thing that could have happened for the Knicks at that point in the action. I’m not a Knicks fan but I live in NYC and I have to enjoy my hardcore...

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    The shot of him leering into the replay monitor, all sweaty, was quite off-putting

    The Special Ones (manager talk)

    actually not so much. They’re 11th, on 47 points, behind WH and Bournemouth, just ahead of Wolves and Fulham. Or put differently, if you gave Everton back their points they’d be only two points behind Brighton, and level on wins on the season (12). Yes, the curse of Europe, injuries, etc. but...

    Everton 23-24: You Don’t Own Me (Yet)

    The bare minimum is that the ownership group has the funds. It’s a nice to have if they’re not complete shitbags. 777 appear to be 0 for 2. Now that the club has stayed up* and should be primed to sell on Onana and/or Branthwaite at significant profit while earning enough to acquire some...

    Everton 23-24: You Don’t Own Me (Yet)

    Yeah, the news around 777 had been getting increasingly bad. I’m not going to hunt for and post links atm because I’m baking cookies but the group owns an Australian low cost airline that is going tits up, among other problems with solvency, lawsuits, regulatory issues etc at their other...

    Week 36 - the pen-penultimatum

    Red Sox hire outside consulting firm to audit organization

    Obviously true, in the macro sense. But it can also be true that distinguishing the one Mahomes in the pack of Trubinksys had be be grounded in some data, some process. an Auerbach- type guru is not making these calls on gut instinct anymore. If there can be incremental approval in the means...

    Matchday 35- Waiting for the inevitable

    Utd are a random football outcome generator right now. I still don't think they know WTF they're doing but they pull these moments out of their ass. It would worry me to play them in a must-get-3-points game.

    Matchday 35- Waiting for the inevitable

    Notwithstanding Nuno giving away goals by playing with injured players literally unable to stand or walk- Forest have fluffed, no joke, four golden opportunities. Even at their best Citty can be played through, Forest have some decent attackers, and the chances have been there - but have been...

    Matchday 35- Waiting for the inevitable

    3 wins at Goodison for the Toffees in a week, all clean sheets, with two goals from Idrissa Gana Gueye, giving him 3 on the season. That’s as many as he had in 99 games over 3 full seasons with Everton the first time around.

    Matchday 35- Waiting for the inevitable

    Believe me I have an asterisk in the back of my mind. We are safe*. pretty sure that we will be docked points for something that happens at the Euros, in Latvia vs Portugal or summat

    Matchday 35- Waiting for the inevitable

    Blades back down, Foxes back up, it was always thus. Toffees secure mathematical safety with a win over Brentford in the 12:30 game.
