Far too much emphasis is placed on whether the glass is half full or half empty. The more important question is: What the fuck is in the glass?

The only surprising element of the Tiger Woods Ryder Cup captaincy story is the fact he was ever in consideration for the role. A player who repeatedly underwhelmed as a team member would be a remarkably poor choice as captain.

I'm old enough to remember a time when some took offence because Barack Obama appeared slightly less deferential to the UK and old alliances. Fast forward, and we now have the most hostile American leadership since George Washington. Vladimir Putin is pissing himself laughing

I’m not sure De Zerbi now is a good call for Spurs. Next season, yeah why not but it takes time to embed his systems. Spurs don’t have time.

If VAR is aborted, Sky, MotD and all the pundits, journalists, managers and coaches need to immediately stop over analysing and complaining about decisions on the pitch. That is what saw it introduced in the first place.

Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”). 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”. 72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”. 79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”. 67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”. 84% “strongly support” goal-line technology. 34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). “These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. “The vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).

Judging by today's efforts to buy diesel, it looks like the fuel shortage/panic is on the way. I guess posting this might also contribute to the panic. Which makes me part of the problem. Bugger.

@colincurryer There are worse obsessions than that, for sure.

I find myself obsessed with the Chichester Cathedral Peregrine Falcons.

I try not to criticise those who leave early, knowing there are a multitude of reasons why people choose to. But, leading Liverpool nearing the end of normal time, with an early kickoff and less need to rush home, I found it surprising that so many still departed early today.

@colincurryer Absolutely, he couldn't say no. Which is why I blame Chelsea. I find you can't really go wrong if you blame Chelsea.

@TheMrGrumpy I agree, but when you’re already owned by Chelsea, he couldn’t say no. Also financially he’ll have found it hard to anyway. I wanted him at the Albion, maybe we can help rehabilitate himself after this is over.

Not looking good for Liam Rosenior. A good young coach on the rise being ruined by the Chelsea experience. Not the first, and won't be the last.

@colincurryer Wrong opportunity for him at the wrong time. Should have been left alone at Strasbourg to learn his craft.

@TheMrGrumpy Sadly, he’s not helped himself either. It feels like he’s not being himself and instead he is trying to be something that he thinks the job requires.

Albion totally dominated the second half, should have scored four, and thoroughly deserved the win. I may not like the selection, but I can't argue with the recent results.

Minteh needs to come off at half time, if he hasn’t been sent off by then. I don’t trust his discipline to play the rest of the game on a yellow. #bhafc

Kick off delayed due to traffic on local roads. Could just have easily been delayed due to problems getting beer in the north stand.
