@managingmadrid Hopefully Trent doesn’t play like Terrence Trent D’Arby again…

Thoughts on Real Madrid’s starting XI vs Espanyol?

@Ramon_AlvarezMM Y por eso no hay árbitros españoles arbitrando en Europa. Lo peor es que es OBVIO que hay un problema muy grave aquí y nadie hace nada para rectificar una situación comprometida, ni hasta la UEFA.

Hay una terrible falta de nivel en el arbitraje.

@madridisme Seguramente te costará todos tus ahorros por una para que luego te la manches con la salsa de unas bravas… 😂 Pero sí es bonita.

Esta sí me la compro

@managingmadrid At the end of the day, a choice is going to have to be made. Vini and Mbappe can’t coexist. It’s not a criticism of either, but they don’t mesh, the sum is less than the whole of the parts. Get rid of one and sign a proper 9.

"It is important to note that blaming Mbappe for everything is lazy. People tend to lean into extremes, and blaming Vinicius’s poor form on Mbappe is too common; as is the disregard of all the variables that coincided, freakishly, with Mbappe’s arrival: Kroos’s departure, leaders leaving one by one, ACL injuries, players playing through pain, and the team relying heavily on young inexperienced talent while putting up with their growing pains. Also: coaching turmoil and shifts in identity. It’s been a two-year, perfect storm. Vinicius is not without blame when we discuss the failures of the Vini-Mbappe connection. Media tends to have debates about whose fault this all is. It’s not black and white; good vs bad. People should be free to criticize both, because both parties have been poor in their own way. Keep in mind one important story from this season that will be remembered for decades to come when we look back on the 2025 - 2026 season: When Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid, he wanted to bring something different — something fresh — to the team’s identity. He had seen the team’s tactical struggles under Carlo Ancelotti the year before. He wanted to play faster, take less touches, be more surgical, and find openings in more creative ways than simply pumping the ball to Vinicius on the left wing and watching the offense stagnate. That offense was built around winning the ball through rabid ball recoveries, hunting opponents high up the pitch, and two key players: Arda Güler and Mbappe. Güler would take one touch, and use his second to feed a through-ball to Mbappe. Mbappe would take one-to-two touches and score. It was a system that worked. Güler racked up assists, Mbappe racked up goals, and Real Madrid racked up wins. Their only loss until November was away to Atletico Madrid — a game where the team rushed Bellingham back in his first start since recovering from shoulder surgery. He wasn’t ready. But eventually, Alonso incorporated Bellingham into the team, and by the time the Clasico rolled around in October, Bellingham himself was providing the through-balls to Mbappe, gliding out of pressure, and pressing opponents. In all this, it was Vinicius that was losing the spotlight. Alonso rarely gave the Brazilian the 90 minutes — either not starting him or subbing him off in the second half. When he had the ball, Alonso asked him to play quicker, to find teammates before defenses could set, and to tone down superfluous dribbling. It was a double-edged sword. Vinicius wasn’t happy, and the frustration built up inside him. And this is where the aforementioned story concludes: Alonso took Vinicius off in the second half of the October Clasico. Vinicius reacted furiously. The team collapsed, and was never the same again. What was supposed to be a wave of momentum to start the season as league leaders, turned into a funeral that sucked the soul out of the team." - @KiyanSo : managingmadrid.com/kiyans-observa…

@jimnance @LeDouxUSA Says a lot about you and the company you keep.

@LeDouxUSA I don’t know 1 person in AZ that’s voting for her. Not one.

Who could've seen this coming besides everyone who didn't live in the AZ GOP bubble... Please start nominating candidates that can win.

@RandPaul Maybe if you’d stop subsidizing billionaires with tax breaks, an outsized political voice and a failure to ask why monopoly and anti-trust laws aren’t being enforced to their benefit and no one else’s, that would help too.

The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no. I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives. wsj.com/economy/u-s-de…

@SleeperRedSox Nah, he’ll be fine as soon as he’s traded to Milwaukee.

@LongTimeHistory This is because this is the Christian, pious thing to do. ✝️⛪️ 🙄

ICE take 10 year old boy to court to deport him—all alone without even a lawyer. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing—no one offered him a change for many hours. "I was scared because it was my first time in court," he said. Separated from his mom for 4 months now after she was detained during a traffic stop. Wilfredo and his mother are originally from Venezuela with a pending asylum case. ICE is now trying to deport him alone without legal representation to Ecuador—a country he's never been to and does not know a single person. He is temporarily staying with his mom's former boss in Houston, Texas.

@samstein The open racism combined with abject stupidity persistent in this country is horrifying.

My mind is blown.

@Timodc He’s an entitled cunt who still thinks we should all get on our knees and worship him. Billionaires are America’s biggest scourge right now.

You’d think an immigrant who moved to California and earned unimaginable riches (scamming people along the way) would be more grateful to heritage Californians who made it possible. Have you even said thank you once?

Use one word to describe Joe Burrow's new look

@3YearLetterman Spotted dick?

I literally cannot name one thing that Great Britain does better than America

@AriFleischer You really are an acrid cunt.

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents. Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide. You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President. But that’s too much to ask. Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

@BostonStrong_34 The Boston Red Sox spend less than 45% of their considerable revenue on players. There are clubs doing more with less. If you want to blame Cora… sure. But until John Henry sells the team this will be the modus operandi. Stop going and putting money in their pockets for nothing.

The Red Sox were due for a major shake up on their coaching staff for a while now but don’t let that change the fact that the front office has done a terrible job too. They’re next if this team doesn’t do their job.

@NBA I wouldn’t watch this flopping garbage if you paid me. The nba is a waste of time.

Drop 42 PTS ✅ Shoot over 80% from the field ✅ Lead your team to victory ✅ Secure a 3-0 series lead in Round 1 ✅ SGA 👏

@BostonSatire Is this a parody or just the talk of another billionaire with zero self awareness?

Red Sox owner John Henry: “If I could find the person responsible for putting together years of losing teams, I’d fire him right now”

@BillSimmons He’s not gonna do that, he’ll fire the interim coaches and replace them with interim interim coaches!!!!

I’m amazed John Henry is gonna pay all those people AND their replacements! They should have kept going and fired the robot GM. So long, Alex Cora - thanks for 2018

@JeffPassan @Enrique_Rojas1 Depends on definition of massive change. Names? Yes… play, not likely.

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN. While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

El último entrenador del Real Madrid que logró ganar 2 títulos de Liga consecutivos fue Leo Beenhakker, hace 37 años. Si, aunque parezca ciencia ficción, el Real Madrid lleva casi CUATRO DÉCADAS sin ganar dos ligas seguidas con el mismo entrenador. Y en esos 37 años que lleva el Real Madrid buscando a un entrenador capaz de convencer a sus jugadores para que hagan su trabajo durante, al menos, dos años seguidos, en el Barcelona lo han hecho SIETE entrenadores diferentes: Cruyff Van Gaal Rijkaard Guardiola Luis Enrique Valverde FLICK
