everyone wants to argue about whether mls is a farmers league. i don't care. he's 39, goes past three defenders and finishes like it's 2011. if this happened in la liga you'd be calling it goal of the season. enjoy him while he's still doing it xitter.cf/MLS/status/21170767069…
OMG! MESSI! 😱
Leo dribbles past 3 defenders and scores to give @InterMiamiCF the lead!
half of us are panicking about frenkie at centre back against villa tomorrow. i'd keep him there. koundé, eric and christensen are out, he was the calmest man on the pitch against alavés, and he's played there before. i'd rather lose a header than lose the ball at the back
everyone's calling it a fairytale debut. it isn't. almgren started as an 800m runner and spent a decade moving up through the 5k, 10k and half before he touched 26.2. most of us do it backwards, signing up for a marathon before we can run a decent 5k xitter.cf/FloTrack/status/211697…
Yeah, we can tell, Almgren 🇸🇪
Andreas Almgren speaks on how his legs felt during his NYC Marathon-winning debut performance.

people said the same thing about calculators, spellcheck and google. ai isn't giving dumb people the illusion they're smart, it's taking away the head start some people mistook for being smart. that's what this anger really is xitter.cf/Dylanszn01/status/2116…
liverpool didn't get one shot on target at anfield and people will still tell you arsenal are boring. boring is losing pretty. going to the hardest away ground in england and not letting the home side hit the target once is the most entertaining thing a defence can do
united are 17th, nine games without a win, and the timeline wants carrick gone. moyes, van gaal, mourinho, ole, ten hag, amorim. different men, same mess. at some point you have to admit the problem is the club, not whoever is standing on the touchline
everyone calling ouaddou's celebration over the top. seven league wins in a row, a soweto derby win in front of a full fnb, and you want him to clap politely? we moan that psl coaches show no passion, then one does and it's 'acting'. let the man run xitter.cf/SSFootball/status/2116…
Full-time scenes at FNB Stadium 🎥
It's a massive celebration from Coach Ouaddou 🥳

the linkedin boss says ai has turned work docs into an ocean of sameness. bru, corporate docs were an ocean of sameness long before chatgpt. ai didn't kill original thinking at work, it just made it obvious how little there was
the people moaning that halloween in sa is just copying america will be queueing for black friday later this month and sending christmas cards with snow on them in 35 degrees. we borrow everything. let the kids dress up
rodri plays all 90 at 4-0 up against alavés, gavi doesn't get a single minute, and somehow rodri was the one rested against psg. we're top of the league and i still can't make sense of this rotation. villa and atleti next hansi, it's upside down xitter.cf/appiecule/status/21166…
This is the first time I’ve seen a manager do things the other way around. Flick seems to love giving Rodri 90 minutes against the weaker teams. He’s started and completed the full game against Alavés, Racing and Levante, yet somehow rested him against PSG.
Now what’s the plan? Give him another 90 minutes against Aston Villa and rest him at the Metropolitano? Or leave him out against Villa and start him against Atlético? Or are you just trying to get him injured so you can finally get him out of your plans? 😂
Anyway, Gavi seems to be gradually falling out of Flick’s plans…
ansu turns 24 today and half the timeline talks about him like it's an obituary. he didn't fail us. we handed a teenager messi's 10, rushed him back from knee surgery, then blamed him when his body broke. glad he's smiling again xitter.cf/Ligue1_ENG/status/2116…
everyone's laughing at the young guy who asked the president about tiktok paying sa creators. that is a jobs question. we tell the youth to stop waiting for work and make their own, then laugh when they ask to get paid like creators everywhere else
flick turned down bastoni in may and we've let in six across psg and the clásico. now bastoni wants a call to know he's wanted. that's not him being difficult, that's the bill for a bad call. pick up the phone hansi xitter.cf/barcacentre/status/211…
🚨 Alessandro Bastoni remains open to listening to FC Barcelona, despite last summer's disappointment. He wants Hansi Flick to show that he wants him. [@martinezferran]
found guilty of faking £900m to get through nine seasons and the 'harsh' punishment is 40 to 50 points with a chance to stay up. that's not a punishment, that's a payment plan. strip the titles from those years or the rules mean nothing xitter.cf/footyinsider247/status…
running coding agents all night is the new staying late at the office. looks like work, feels like work, ships nothing. ai didn't kill busywork, it just made busywork run while you sleep
natwest says it cut 1,000 jobs for ai today. meanwhile two in three companies that did ai layoffs are already hiring people back. most of these cuts were never about ai, it's just a better excuse than 'we overhired'. the robot takes the blame, the share price takes the bump
sam altman says it's 'quite terrible' your computer holds memory you only use 5% of the time. my car sits parked 95% of the day too. idle isn't waste, it's ownership. of course the guy renting you the cloud would prefer you own nothing xitter.cf/wallstengine/status/21…
we lose one clásico and suddenly the plan is selling gavi to buy a 34 year old striker. gavi is the only one who plays like losing actually hurts. you don't sell the heartbeat to rent a number 9 for two seasons xitter.cf/DeadlineDayLive/status…
🚨 Barcelona are planning to sell Gavi, Alejandro Balde and Frenkie de Jong to fund a move for a new striker.
Deco aims to raise €150M, with Gavi valued at €50M, Balde at €40M and De Jong at €60M.
Barcelona dream of signing Harry Kane but will only pursue the deal if the Ballon d'Or winner does not renew his Bayern Munich contract, which expires in June 2027.
