New piece for @ScoutedFtbl profiling Jadon Sancho, evaluating his start to life at United and touching on the portability of Bundesliga to the Premier League transfers as a whole patreon.com/posts/58243087

@AmosMurphy_ The way you consume sport is soulless 👍

To spell it out for those not understanding… This whole gimmick and this result means NOTHING if Arsenal don’t go on and win something. Arsenal the much better team & deserved winners. But all of this posturing kinda proves Haaland’s point.

They just don’t get it do they? This is EXACTLY what Haaland meant 🤣

@TrentonJocz Medvedev especially has a history of overcoming tiredness when he's on a winning streak. The confidence seems to override how he's feeling physically

One of the most interesting phenomenons in tennis is when someone is so tired that they actually cross over into playing with total clarity, not enough spare energy to spend on nerves or doubt

@TrentonJocz @Gill_Gross twitter.com/OptaAce/status…

@Gill_Gross Seems TC's on air stat conflated that with fewest games lost before the final, Serena 2012 ended up with the fewest at 32

To play the year-end championships and not come remotely close to losing a single match is crazy!

@Popcorn_Tennis1 @tennisnation @BarclayCard18 hey guys, just letting you know I've sent something to the site email. Have a look whenever you get a chance

Here are some of the most elite scoring peaks we’ve seen in the last 30 years. The players’ most prolific 13,500 minute (150 game) period in their career. ⚽️ Non-penalty goals+penalties. 🎯 Assists shown too. 🌍 Club and country. ✅ Playing in an elite European league.

Bellingham is such a throwback player. Still has development to do in his possession game in order to become elite, but he is influential in every area of the pitch and he's developed the habit of his goals coming in big matches and moments. 5 goals in 6 CL & WC apps this season.

I wrote about how Eddie Nketiah helped flip the game for Arsenal vs Fulham. Some proper ‘wow’ moments included. Also touched on his obvious improvements over the past year. patreon.com/posts/71195613

@TrentonJocz Yeah there basically isn't a tier 2 for contenders in the women's draw (i.e. Tsitsipas and Zverev in the men's draw). The next challengers after Iga are in the Sinner, Rublev and Ruud bracket of contenders

@TrentonJocz Yep I never understand those takes. Think generally playing on day 1 is/has been an underrated advantage for the ageing big 3

Also, already seeing talk of Nadal needing to start RG on Tuesday, but my guess is an extra day before a semifinal would be more helpful than one extra day before the first round.

Would probably be better if people treated Nadal's foot more like Fed's back than a normal injury. It's unpredictable, incurable and assuming the future after a flareup is likely foolish. He missed most of 2021, he also won a 5 hour AO final on hard court, who knows.

As Cesc Fàbregas turns 35 years old, do not forget what he was. @Reunewal remembered his excellence at Arsenal in Volume X, perhaps the best young player the Premier League will ever see. Available here: bit.ly/SFHBV10

I'm actually kind of surprised there isn't some nonsense in the process that prevents this correct outcome occurring

Penalty if it's offside surely?

Wonder if Jorginho will finish above Benzema in the Ballon D'or again this year

New pod where @SeanDZWalsh, Dan and I discuss the state of the title and top four races

@mattracquet Also Medvedev and Tsitsipas' struggles on slow and faster hard courts respectively (not to mention clay and grass) show that the narrative that the big 3 only dominated everywhere because of 'surface homogeny' is often overemphasised.

@rohan8r We recorded on Tuesday

After over a year, we’re back 👀

Some of you may remember (back when our old account had close to 1,000 followers) a podcast which myself, @Reunewal and @BigFanOfRecess used to do two years ago. Giving it a reboot next week and would appreciate any support!

@GoldenViews00 This is funny because I saw possibly one of Federer's last ever professional matches at the same venue for about £30 in 2019. And he might not even be fit enough to play this!
