Anyway we sacked the previous guy because we want to compete on four fronts, so we hired a guy who currently has us competing on…

*checks notes*

0 fronts.

I miss Ange. Only game I’ve ever cheered and been proud of the team after a loss was that game against Chelsea. Didn’t give up values for “flexibility”

Not just self belief and fortitude, but the man-management skills to instill that belief into your entire squad so that they are ready to run through walls to win games.

Not just "compete on all fronts". Win them!

Winning a trophy with essentially nothing but radical self belief and fortitude is an accomplishment. Against ALL odds. Please Frank, my guy. Never mention last season again and omit those details. That shit genuinely pissed me off. Build an identity. We have none right now, again.

The previous manager that you have just indirectly chatted 💩 about won a European cup. Just don’t go there please.

Wait. Did he really go there with "remember we finished 17th?"

Fuck you Thomas, any European trophies on your horizon? Any trophy at all?

Is that your entire goal for this season? Finish higher than 17th?

Anyone want to talk about how “defensively organized & stable” we are now?

No?
Shocking!

Not just our worst performance of the season, but arguably our worst performance in a decade.

My, albeit crazy, blueprint for success. Get Ange back in, forget the league and go all in for the FA Cup and Champions League. Bring some fun back in 😀(though all the gammons will keep on moaning)

I know this will never happen, but something needs to change.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

There must be consequences.
Some incredible details in this piece
*one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm
*illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
