New generation of public facing analysts and football ideas people is so toxic. A few are friendly and bounce ideas between each other but it’s more rivalry, competition and bitterness than bounding ideas together for greater progress. People who think novel things or are wrong are berated. The point should not be predictions. It should be to push the sport forward.

The blog era and long form as a format will always beat tweet because of the depth, the conversations and the audience that reads and replies. That early work of @spielvercom is the blueprint.
