We are deeply concerned by reports of an Israeli military operation in Rafah. It would have devastating impact, putting the lives of Palestinians and foreign nationals,including 🇨🇦s, seeking refuge in grave danger and making the vital delivery of humanitarian aid dangerous. 1/2

You need to understand why I say what I say. —TAA is a No. 1 progression machine. He singlehandedly solves the buildup for Liverpool —Then he produces creative numbers to rival KDB —Then he handles the setpieces and —Adds value defensively Without him, Klopp doesn't touch Pep.

@JonnyPotter87 Ok got you. I agree the rule is over the top, especially when there are other things that need cracking down on more. But for me, you can't officiate differently based on someone already being booked. I don't like the rule but that is not the solution.

@JonnyPotter87 I am also talking about consistency within games. Unless I misunderstand, you would be ok with a yellow for imaginary card if he hadn't been booked, but think a different standard should be applied if he is already booked. Sin bin is an interesting and separate point though

@JonnyPotter87 I would argue point one directly contradicts point two If the same infraction is a yellow the first time, but not a yellow the second, is that not the definition of inconsistency?

@MoArsenal86 $40m seems like a quite arbitrary number, and if you factor in how long each manager has been there that is more $40m+ signings per year for Arteta than Klopp, and very little difference to Pep.

Sick of this Arteta spending narrative. He had to build an ENTIRE SQUAD. They’ll never tell you the difference between Pep, Klopp and Arteta in terms of *significant* investments (40m or more). Here are the players Pep, Klopp and Arteta have purchased for 40m euros or more:

Have never loved Chelsea but this team has some very intriguing players who can knock ball . They may be on the verge of something ? Gusto , caicedo , Colwill , Enzo , Nkuku , Gallagher are all young and can knock ball

@themoderndaygk Would he not have had more chance to make this save if he gets a step to his left in before pushing? Or is slo-mo deceiving me here and there was no time? The set (pre-split) looks very wide to me and possibly inhibits his ability to do so? Thoughts? Love learning from yall.

@BTFR17 Why waste a man on the near post if they are just going to have a nap? That ball is going in like a yard from the post and he's just watching, even after the save

@secondtierpod My lasting memory of him is standing in the North Stand at Portman Road when I was 12 and thinking "Matty Fryatt, Howard eat it" was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.

@MosesDuckrell @ReubenPinder Trying to improve your public image is absolutely wrong if it isn't accompanied by an effort to change the substance behind the image itself. That's just empty PR. And yes, every major Western state is guilty of this too. But there are levels.

@ReubenPinder There is no nation that is free of guilt when it comes to immorality and exploitation. However, some are more advanced in their measures in trying to rectify that than others. Saudi still fall short on so many levels but I don’t think trying to improve their public image is wrong

I won’t lie to you my brother, Europeans are the LAST people I want to hear that from. The West is still doing that till this day so definitely not in the position take the moral high ground. Especially when they still fact receive COUNTLESS benefits from… the Middle East
Reubs@ReubenPinder

@MosesDuckrell To launder their global image and divert attention from their horrific regime. Also known as sportswashing.

@KierDoyle @AFHStewart The use of "almost exclusively" in that tweet can't just be a poor choice of words - it is the premise the whole idea of the tweet is built around. If it is a poor choice of words, then it just means your point is a poor point. You move a lot of goalposts.

@AFHStewart Almost exclusively probably a poor choice of words - but it’s the same deal as Meslier. If a keeper is conceding 15-20 goals more than their post shot xG and the team chooses not to replace them, they are a huge contributing factor to that.

@KierDoyle @JackMcInroy You can't use "rough rules of thumb" when passing off grand assertions as being backed by data. Those are just opinions.

@JackMcInroy As I said above, rough rule of thumb. Southampton being 11 points better instead of 17, still likely surviving relegation!
