@pavyg Ooops 7, but you were out by 5 anyway😉 He'll have at least 8 by the end of the season.

@mpmarky Are you sure he has 8?

I don't think Sinner or Alcaraz get more than 10 slams, definitely won't surpass Federers 20 or Nadals 22 and Djokovic 24. Tennis is a physically and mentally brutal sport to stay at an elite level for 10-15 years is so hard, it's why the Big 3 were once in lifetime players. 🙏

Awesome plan

i worry that tehran interprets this level of incoherence/inconsistency as panic.

@Djoko_UTD Except for your knees.

🚨 Crazy fact : Playing aTennis for 60 minutes a day consistently increases your life span by more than a decade 🤯 Best and the Healthiest sport ever.

@paulenglish1961 But VAR was involved and looking at it but we never heard what their reasoning was for not giving the penalty.

I’ve seen last nights Amad penalty decision so many times over the last 24 hours and I’m convinced VAR didn’t get involved last night because they didn’t want to embarrass Atwell who would have needed to both disallow a goal and give a penalty to the away team. It was never going to happen because these guys have no morals. VAR is broken. I’ve read they didn’t want to get involved because of the on field decision. Ask ETH about that in his last game at West Ham United. It’s a complete joke. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManUnited #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd

@comradempp But not quite as annoying as y'all, adopting a fake Southern US idiom, honey chil'.

As someone bilingual, seeing non queb Francophones say they don’t understand queb French feels the same as if non Canadian anglophones said they didn’t understand Canadian English. Like, y’all sound ignorant

@SIUChasmite Then your argument is based on practicality not objective reality.

@mpmarky I say practically you can’t in good conscience let a baseball bat hit you in the head based on the theoretical point you’re not sure about “objective reality”. I’m sure of it practically. That’s what matters.

But essentially the fact that there is intersubjective agreement of any number of things proves Searle right here. We might disagree about what constitutes intersubjectivity, but we all act pragmatically as if there is some agreement between us on any number of things...

@SIUChasmite How do you know what I am thinking? It seems to me that Searle's argument against relativism is based on a premise that he can't prove that is that there is an objective reality.

@mpmarky Two things. 1. That's not the takedown you think it is and 2. Why? Which pragmatism? How do you intend the word relativism here?

@NoushardMUFC If you've watched Brighton much lately he's been really mediocre and gets subbed a lot.

Baleba is a good player honestly but you cannot compare Baleba to Bruno Guimaraes, Angelo Stiller, Sandro Tonali, Elliott Anderson . They are simply a level ahead of him. He has potential but this window isn’t going to be about potential. We need leadership and ability. You get that from finished products. And luckily the majority already play in the EPL so it would be simpler for them to adopt to the new club.

@GKCdaily Tell that to Galileo.

Simple secularists still talk as if the Church had introduced a sort of schism between reason and religion. The truth is that the Church was actually the first thing that ever tried to combine reason and religion. There had never before been any such union of the priests and the philosophers.

Link me to the coolest Celtic archaeological finds you know of

@henrywinter Absolute cowardice on the part of the officials, Atwell chickened out because he didn't want to get flak for giving two penalties to United, as did VAR because they knew if they disallowed the goal and correctly gave a penalty to United instead there would be hell to pay.

Decisions, decisions. Amad Diallo was a penalty. That gets given as a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch. It’s even more a penalty than the Matheus Cunha penalty (which was a pen, however “soft”). Amad was just less theatrical. Penalty not given. Wrong decision. Harry Maguire was a penalty and red card. DOGSO. Penalty and red card given. Correct decision.  Understandable debate over the decisions and inevitable frustration for Manchester United. But United have benefited from decisions that go their way this season. All clubs have these issues, examples, frustrations. The main issue here is … 1) General standard of officiating in the Premier League. Amad decision was poor. Even more investment required in grass-roots refereeing, in fast-tracking talent, in training up academy graduates who don’t make it as pros, and in continued work to improve further the Select Group refs. PL has some good officials. Just need more. 2) Football belongs to fans, not officials. Fans deserve to know what is going on in real time. When decision/incident being discussed by officials, audio should be played live. The authorities don’t want to, feel it places too much pressure on officials so content themselves with brief explanation when announcing decision and clarification on PL Match Centre. Fans in the stadium and tuning in pay a lot for tickets and subscriptions, respectively, and shouldn’t be kept in the dark. Audio works well in rugby union and cricket (and acknowledging those sports have more pauses in play). l went to a VAR demonstration (not PL) earlier this week given by an elite official. Hearing the audio between officials gave insight into the process - and respect for what they are dealing with at speed, especially with players trying to con them.  You are never going to get complete consistency over decisions. There’s always going to be an element of subjectivity with so many incidents. But fans deserve more transparency and accountability. It might restore some trust. #BOUMUN

@josemorgado Flawless match? Amazing? What are you talking about? He missed a ton of drop shots and had 22 unforced errors. But even playing at a pretty mediocre level for him, he made it look like a pretty routine win.

World #1 and 2022 champ Carlos Alcaraz plays a flawless match to beat João Fonseca 6-4, 6-4 and reach the 3rd round in Miami. He was AMAZING: 27 winners. Didn't get broken. Very good first of many matches between them.

@Muppetiers The trouble is when Sesko starts he's not that effective.

Frustrating rewatch, don’t think United were very good. Chaotic game could’ve gone either way (prior to the refs). Big plus is Cunha, even the best chance Bruno got, saved off the line - came from Cunhas central diagonal run occupying defenders. We missed a striker baaaaadly.

@BarclayCard18 And he wasn't even playing that well, missed a ton of drop shots, and had 22 unforced errors overall.

Utterly professional performance from Alcaraz. He's just levels above Fonseca at the moment. Broke him early in both sets and quickly dealt with any brief signs of a fightback. Also handled the massively pro-Fonseca crowd with complete ease. Cool. Calm. Collected. Alcaraz.

@writtenoff_mufc Then what do you mean by saying justice done? It was clearly an injustice.

I guarantee that if Bournemouth hadn't scored from the breakaway that VAR gives the penalty. Because they score, it would be too awkward to bring it back for the correct decision of a penalty. Justice done!

@Muppetiers Yes, and even moreso as Carrick was really playing with fire leaving Casemiro on for so long on a yellow card.

Refs aside, waited too long for midfield changes. Way too long.
