Hi James - looking forward to reading. Say, have you authored anything about the closed, tight knit circle of Italian coaches who receive the jobs at the top Italian clubs? Maybe it’s a myth, but I’d be interested to hear how Italian fans view it & how the new wave of Coverciano coaches can break in

I wish someone would gesticulate to Vicario when he gives the ball away the same way that he does to his 19 year old teammates after every goal he concedes.

Loved it!

If you were chasing (by a significant margin) because you kept faith in Haaland, would you continue that faith knowing it’s the most realistic high scoring differential?

@cdeccleshare.bsky.social as an Ange backer, and one I generally agree with, do you have worries that it’s a binary decision between Ange’s deeply personal attacking philosophy and sustained winning? I like Ange but sometimes wonder if his unwillingness to compromise at all is selfish to the club.

Ange is always on about not compromising because it gives you conviction and belief in your philosophy. You can have conviction and belief (and gain even more) even if you’re not a chicken running with your head cut off attacking wide open at every moment.

Men vs boys on the pitch and on the touch line. Ange IN but also basic situational understanding IN.

Another impactful piece helping shine light on communities that don’t often get the support they deserve. Thanks Adam and Abi - I think this type of mainstream coverage is a key way to help “the bootstrap-less man pull themselves up by the bootstraps.”

That’s embarrassing by him.

Awesome work guys.

And if you didn’t think the other part of that -8 was giving up on Bowen and moving him out …

To clarify .. this -8 included selling Mbuemo 😂

A short story…

Deleted Twitter and trying to fully rely on Blue Sky.

Ranked like 6 million and genuinely trying at the game. Finished top 10k last year.

Finally gave into Salah and took a -8.

Now reading about the potential postponement 🙃

What a picture!

Tremendous reporting Adam
