For me, a dragging feels like it should be saved for those much rarer occasion where someone's either been so bad they are removed before HT, or a player who has earlier been subbed on. There might be others, but I can't think of them, and I think they're rare.

Peter Drury described Amad being substituted in the Liverpool v United game as being "dragged off". Given he'd played well for an hour, and was booked - which feels like an added and important justification - the use of "dragged" feels too harsh a description.

What's the Swedish for "Champions"?

Next stop, the Europa League. Ludicrous.

I'd be keen too. Same questions as Jonathan - who we used at @glorystudio.bsky.social and I can definitely vouch for.

Maybe you could fire it back up and play for fun now? Maybe jot down some thoughts as you go? Maybe pop them on here? Maybe?

I agree. And I'm childless.

(Disclaimer - I love the subsequent massive leap in form completion success rates and what that says about human-first content, more than the words, but don't tell them...)

... This feels too short a distance for describing the transcendence of a "roar". What's the shortest distance a roar should be proclaimed as being heard? "Across the city" feels ok for a derby, but that's the maximum, minimum for me (Clive)

In the Dundee v Dundee United game on Sky Sports a couple of days ago, Gary Weaver described the celebrations for Dalby's late goal with the words "a roar that can be heard across the road at Tannadice"....
