Tough start to #FPL week 12! No Caicedo, no Semenyo, and only 45' for Reece James. After auto-subs, I'll be playing a 5-2-3 with only Kudus left on the bench.

Paul appears to be a sound leader at the top of USL. He mentioned in the interview regarding pro/rel: the league is considering inflationary payments to "protect" clubs rising, since they'll have to increase their wages to compete at a higher level. #USL-1 #USL-C
Paul McDonough, president and chief soccer officer of USL, discusses the league's growth, particularly in Florida, where it has expanded from its Tampa headquarters.

I'm on #FPL wildcard after a good start to the season! OR 447k after a few seasons of slow starts, I'm happily in the mix rather than fighting to catch up with you all in the second half of the season.
I'm second-guessing my choices. I've got Haaland & all my current favorites - and £6.6m ITB! 🧵

Congrats to Nashville SC fans! Meanwhile in Knoxville, a USL1 battle for first place! East Tennessee neighbors, biggest rivals, neither has ever won the league. One Knoxville and Chattanooga Red Wolves battling for 1st place with 4 matches left to play!

Interesting fact: if Djed Spence gets a cap for England, he will likely be the first Muslim to ever play for the national team.
Contrast this with France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, and other major European footballing countries that all regularly feature Muslims.

If this is what Frank's "notoriously slow" start looks like, I can't wait to see us once we're up to speed! Everyone said that his ideas would take time to bed in and that we would have to be patient with the first ⅓ of the season. Instead, it feels more like a mid season new manager bounce!

Is Nashville really going to do this too? Please don't spend Tennessee tax dollars on this lunacy!

“Boring is a single lane tunnel that runs in both directions, requiring a signaling system and gates.”
Plus the two tunnels don’t connect and cars must drive through a parking lot to get into the next extension. Then a short 15 min walk to the hotel entrance

Digesting the Sonny news overnight, I do understand the sense of loss. Son was the perfect club ambassador. Attitude, skill, spirit, commitment to #COYS, I've followed Tottenham since 2002 and no player has been a better embodiment of the club. 1/
