I know Kai was worse than terrible yesterday, but if you're looking for big moments/crunch time I'd still pick him.
The irony is embedded emissions will only grow if the UK's domestic oil and gas (especially gas) is replaced by higher emissions LNG from the US/Qatar or West Africa.
The lower emission pathway in the short to medium term is to produce more domestic resources.
No idea what Mikel said to Max, but the boy was well in his rights to react that way. The referee's decision was pathetic.
Gyökeres has clearly been working on hold up play and bringing others into good positions with his passing.
A good sign of adaptation.
Raya to Blanco: Mikel's instructions are chaos in their box, security in ours.
Blanco: received loud and clear.
I never rated Donarumma at an elite GK.
He has big game moments, but will let you down more often than he saves you over the course of a season.
This is another reason why it's so stupid to limit any domestic gas production in Europe. You're paying through the nose ready, why not use what you have?
This should be required reading. Instead of focusing on 'it won't reduce prices' understand how gas markets really work.
The industry has to do a better job quantifying its economic impacts too.
My report makes six key recommendations:
Fix the broken understanding of how the gas market works. Policymakers should recognise that British gas production is not sold on global markets at a global price. The GB gas market uses marginal pricing and additional domestic production displaces more expensive LNG imports, thereby reducing British gas prices. The report argues that claims that additional UK production cannot affect domestic prices are simply wrong.
Increase UK Continental Shelf gas production. Domestic gas should be preferred to imports wherever possible. UKCS gas is both cheaper and cleaner than imported LNG and provides a secure source of supply directly connected to the British gas network.
Reduce reliance on electricity imports. Britain is increasingly depending on electricity imports during periods of low domestic renewable generation. However, highly correlated weather patterns mean low wind generation in Britain can coincide with shortages elsewhere. The report warns that Norway and France cannot be assumed to provide unlimited electricity to their neighbours during periods of stress.
Model gas and electricity security together. The gas grid transports far more energy than the electricity network. Electrifying heating will take decades while gas-fired generation will remain critical to electricity security for years to come. The report argues that planning should recognise the interdependencies of gas and electricity to a greater extent.
Focus on cheap energy. Rapidly rising network costs are overtaking fuel costs as the main driver of energy bills. The report calls for tighter control of network expenditure and for the suspension of the Connect & Manage regime, arguing that consumers should not be required to fund expensive infrastructure whose output is frequently constrained or wasted.
Treat energy security as national security. The government should subject energy policy to an explicit national-security test, prioritising resilience, diversity of supply, sufficient domestic energy capacity and the preservation of strategically important industrial capability alongside affordability and sustainability.

I know this is politicking, but some context from the Chancellor on the opportunity cost of not spending those revenues would be useful.
Norway's economy wasn't large enough to absorb those revenues without significant inflation. Was the UK the same?
‘We'd have a British sovereign wealth fund now that will be worth probably a trillion pounds’
Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP suggests what Britain could have gained if it had set up an energy wealth fund like Norway’s back in the 1980s

Man United in disarray? Chaos in their midst?
Inject it. 💉 💉 💉
It will never get old, unless maybe they get relegated. 😎
Playing Bayern vs playing satanic low blocks are polar opposites.
If you can't parse the difference, then rewatch this game and Nottingham Forest.
Great to see Gyökeres make a telling contribution too! Ekelebe stunner all over the pitch as usual - Declan doing Declan things.
High level football, very challenging opponents for Arsenal and a draw was likely fair.
