19 consecutive seasons of mediocrity. Hated, endured, often ignored

@FPLNightmare You were absolutely brilliant in the castle, honesty and integrity to the end. Traitors clearly rattled and couldn’t risk keeping you around.

#FPLTraitors Murdered Vlog On this occasion, I have been bested by the Traitors. It is a hard game, and they are experts. I said I would give my best guesses. It is all about logical progression. If I am easily led, why murder me now? Who was I questioning? These are the clues.

I can reveal that @FPLNightmare was murdered overnight Thank you for being such a great player, top man! The Faithful are in need of some spiritual help… #FPLTraitors

@fantasyfooty It will of course be interesting to see if they do factor in his race into the story, as that would be a direct deviation from the books, but I strongly suspect it won't play any factor and in that case, I fail to see the issue

I'm not against Snape being black in the new Harry Potter series. I'm not against it on principle. There are obviously some pretty awful things and memes being said/shared that are clearly just racist. But it isn't necessarily racist to be a bit annoyed the character has been changed from the book's description, because his appearance carries meaning. 1. Snape is specifically and deliberately described as having "sallow skin" and being "pale." It mirrors the same pale complexion Voldemort has, which is partly why Snape always feels suspicious. They're designed as visual inversions of each other: Snape has a big hooked nose, Voldemort has a flat snakelike one. The whole point of Snape is that he LOOKS like the villain. Everything about his physical description screams untrustworthy. That's Rowling's deliberate misdirection, teaching readers not to judge by appearances. Change the appearance, you risk losing the power of that twist. 2. There's also an irony nobody seems to be talking about. By making Snape the suspicious, untrustworthy, seemingly villainous character AND the only prominent black actor in the cast, you've actually created the exact optics you were presumably trying to avoid. The one black guy is the one everyone's supposed to distrust? How is that progressive? 3. People are making a false equivalence with Hermione being black in the Cursed Child. That's completely fine because the books never say she's white in the text, and it doesn't affect her story either way. Snape's appearance is different. It's written into the plot. 4. The writers now have a real issue down the line. How are they going to portray Snape being bullied when younger? How are they going to portray James Potter suspending Snape upside down with Levicorpus? Surely they aren't going to force racist undertones onto Lupin, Potter, Black and Pettigrew? PLEASE do not turn this into some politically driven TV series where the Marauders' cruelty becomes a racial storyline. That would ruin both Snape AND James.

Wilson has blanked in just two of his last eight home games, including returns against Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City. In the reverse fixture of today's game he hauled 16 points vs Burnley. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@pfaspeaks @markgoldbridge @UtdXclusive His agendas solely rest on what he’s said in the past. If he passed strong opinion in one way or another on a player or otherwise, he’ll find any way to double or triple down for the rest of eternity

@markgoldbridge @UtdXclusive You definitely have an agenda as it concerns some players. Mbeumo and Amad have been what in the last two matches? Yet, you don’t call them out. You are a guy who wants football to be run on your prism, and when you are wrong you dig in deeper. Sigh

LiveFPL’s new Rank page is now live! Explore it during the games today, I’m hoping it will be smoother and faster than any LiveFPL experience you’ve had before. Hopefully! And I really appreciate your patience if you spot any bugs 🙏 Besides the smoother server experience, dark mode, and language support, there are a bunch of new additions: 1- What-If is back (like in the mobile app) so you can add/remove events and see your hypothetical rank. 2- Captains and chips breakdown for every rank tier. 3- The top 5 events that impacted your rank this GW. 4- Visuals showing where your rank sits between milestones, how many players you have left vs the field, captain points, etc. 5- A live chart of your rank over time as events move it up and down, this one is very special to me and deserves its own tweet. 6- Detailed rank impact data when you click any player, anywhere. 7- Live Games/Bonus/Defcon/Points/EO/Feed have all improved …and more. Explore and I hope that, after giving it some time, you’ll enjoy it and forget the old version (I know every change has inertia)

🚨 LiveFPL website is going to look (and run) differently stating tomorrow! 🚨 New underlying architecture, new user interface, new features, and hopefully better server performance. In my developer pov, this change is not just cosmetics, it's absolutely necessary so I can maintain the site further. The site has grown into a huge messy network of ideas that is/was so difficult to manage and I finally had the time to organize it in a sustainable way. Please embrace this change with me tomorrow, I promise it's a good change ❤️ Ragabolly

Almost every decent FPL player Triple Captaining a defender with two away games might be one of the stranger decisions in FPL history.

@kevinhatchard Fascinating how you gorps consider a lack of economy with words and an inability to read a situation as a sign of intellect. It’s being considered performative and try hard because it was performative and try hard

The depressing thing about the response to this is the number of people who think the question to Guardiola was “try hard” or “performative”. If you want everything dumbed down, maybe go and watch or do something else?
Umir Irfan@umirf1

Just to clarify a few misconceptions and highlight some interesting things I’ve seen re: journalism. My question was admittedly long but journalists typically ask three or four questions which when added up are of an equal-ish time to mine. I deliberately chose to ask one detailed question instead. I mentioned the 2006 columns as I wanted to see if 1) his opinion had changed 20 years on and 2) how he deals with that as a coach now rather than an analyst or writer. His answers provided inference to both even if he didn’t explicitly say so, which is helpful for my work going forward. And lastly, I asked that question as I am working on a piece around those ideas. The quotes feed into the article. The article is the end product. Getting more information from an interviewee is probably the aim when the interview is the end product. Getting new information relevant to the article is the aim when the article is the end product. Everyone entitled to an opinion on someone’s journalist approach. As someone with a big passion for football especially tactically, I’m enjoying trying new things and I’m happy with how it’s gone so far whilst always trying to improve with guidance from the best. Excited to share my piece next week so stay tuned.

@FPL_Lurking Because he's qualifying the question with some context and earning the interest of the person he's asking, which is important and can make for a better answer. It's a great question well asked, far better than almost everything I've heard asked at press conferences.

@geomufc20 @SaeedTV_ Just a boring, overdone response. I made a critical observation and used a clip aired by our national broadcaster as a vehicle for that. I have no other opinion on the bloke and nor do I care to.
