United are a mess and that wasn't exactly a demolition but there was still more than enough today to say: hey look, some players back and midweek rest and Spurs look a lot better.

So stupid. They just threw off the gloves at the start, with no provocation. They start fighting an hour earlier and it is assault. Do it once the game starts, and it is normal and fine.
If you like fighting, watch boxing or UFC. It is idiotic that this isn't just allowed but de facto encouraged.

The U.S. beat Canada 3-1 in Montreal Saturday night.
But what everyone will remember was the nine seconds of bedlam right from the opening face-off, writes @pierrevlebrun.bsky.social.

Love what Ange stands for. And I think he's been unlucky. But starting with Deki, Bergvall, and Bentancur in midfield with the FBs also pushing up aggressively away from home? Insane decision. If that's your midfield, you need to play a double pivot or keep one of the FBs back. But no. #tottenham

Bentancur awful and Deki & Bergvall leaving him out to dry. Tel awful on the left. Danso touch is poor. Porro poor (again). Kinsky poor. Sarr's decisions bad (again). Son looking a bit cooked.
Didn't see the Liverpool game, but it musta been real bad if this was an improvement for #Tottenham.

Infuriating. Between Biden’s infirmity, his ego, and his team’s greater loyalty to him than to country or party, they both put the country at risk during his presidency and handed the WH to his nemesis.

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

After 7+ hours in a plane, my back was happy not to get a Tesla 3 for my Uber in CA. Got a Ford Mustang Mach-E instead. What is the deal with these awful American EVs? Stiff as a board ride that rattles the teeth. And uncomfortable back seats that are even stiffer. 😡

My issue with the criticism towards Ange is that most of it is exaggerated, lacks context, or is just straight up based on nonsense.
There are areas where he got to improve.
But those things shrink in comparison to how much his coaching and leadership is a credit to the badge.

I learned this more than a decade ago as a productivity/management tactic. I didn't have time to stay on top of all the news, and I gambled that my reports would bring me what I needed or that I'd hear about it passively. Totally worked out (and I too work in a field where news is a critical input)!
When I left Twitter 18 months ago I had severe withdrawal from trending topics and not knowing every single little thing happening in the news. But then I discovered that I still hear about everything I need to know, and that NOT hearing about stuff that does not matter is so so liberating.
