The City-Arsenal theory tweet from last night, by the way: for some reason only some accounts can reply. And that doesn't include me. Just to say: I don't know why and I didn't do it. Apologies etc. Not that I was going to wade in again or draw it out, just to let you know.

Lost in all of the post match is credit to Atleti for playing the exact kind of match they needed to play to get a result. From defending to riding an in form keeper, even the Sorloth sub. Simeone got so much right.

I have to think this confirms my thoughts about Araujo and Flick. He's done.
English
Flick's Barça has the potential to be amazing, even dynastic. The main problem is that it is one player deep at every key position, and doesn't have a repeatable system to get similar results from lesser players. Injuries to Pedri and Lamine Yamal and it's a mid-table side.

@sidlowe I watch way too much EPL and La Liga. Time wasted (for a throw-in or corner) in the EPL is so much more. Makes the game less enjoyable. And that the commentary for EPL games is boredom inducing. In contrast, the English commentary in La Liga actually adds to the enjoyment.
English
At the risk of opening up a can of worms far too big with no chance of getting the wriggly little bastards back in, with no desire to host a debate all day, and accepting that my own biased moaning is probably showing here, but… is VAR the clearest manifestation of this?

Football is a bit sh*t right now but you, along with everyone else, is responsible for the slop served as football in the attention economy. football365.com/news/modern-fo…

@tsf_podcast @sidlowe Your commentary on the game today, Sid, has been great. A perfect example of what a color commentator should do.

INCREDIBLE goal puts Getafe 1-0 up at the Bernabéu!

@owenjonesjourno Been closely watching all the noise surrounding Gorton & Denton. That Labour has sunk so low to be indistinguishable in dirty tricks and complaining compared to Reform and the Tories is incredibly sad. Not unexpected, but still sad nonetheless.
English
They are literally importing Donald Trump's playbook of undermining faith in elections.
They will destabilise our already crisis-ridden democracy if that's what it takes to crush the left.
Paul Goodman@PaulGoodmanCH
My @Telegraph verdict on Gorton & Denton. "Our democracy can’t survive if its norms are habitually violated, electoral malpractice shouldn’t be tolerated and what matters most...is the integrity of the system, not who wins the contest." tinyurl.com/mrz5jnu6

The world is saving FC Barcelona from itself. You love to see it.

It's the Luis Suarez Defense, resurrected for 2026 like that old luggage you pull out of the closet.

@LaLigaMichael Because being rude, obnoxious etc to someone online has no consequences. Moreover, it seems the art of arguing a difference of opinions without resorting to insults is dying. Just sad all around.
English
Can anyone explain why this kind of interaction has become so common?
Neal (harmlessly) says Villarreal played decently and this dude calls him a dumb fuck.
How sad & angry do you have to be to respond like this, unprovoked, to another person?
What a pathetic “community”.
English
@LaLigaMichael They have obviously not been watching Liverpool play the last few months.

3rd in the Prem lost 4-1 to Arsenal, btw.
2 things you can bet on after after any Madrid or Barcelona match:
1) Fans will call the league trash if their rivals win
2) Fans will blame ref for any result that doesn’t go their way
jo@futbolfan222
@NealGardner_ La Liga is not a serious league when 3rd place is performing like that
