Talks mostly about: football, F1, video games, film & TV, occasionally a bit of marketing. Long suffering Tottenham fan and former season ticket holder. From North West England. #COYS
Although I've just been sent this. Make of it what you will.

This is pretty wild, and I think is sometimes lost when everyone is busy crapping on Thomas Frank.
Were we top of this table last year too? What DO we do to our players?! My theory now based on very little is that it's something to do with the surface at our training ground.

This is probably the single greatest meme I will ever create. In honour of today's Cloudflare outage. This was me and many others in the marketing/digital world.

There are settings to use the most responsive mode for gaming. The delay is pretty much imperceptible for me in all honesty.
If you're on an OLED or thin TV you do need to do some mods to get the camera to sit nicely if above the TV.

This is why Sarr hasn't featured much recently: he's been retraining as a centre back.
Either that or Sky Sports have got it wrong of course. #COYS

Here's tonight's stats for comparison. Weirdest thing for me is Sky Sports shows that Spurs had 3 clear cut chances tonight, but Bodo only had 1. That's now how I remember the game at all!

Were we actually good away at Bodo last season? Co-commentator just referenced it, but as I recall we sat back, soaked up pressure and played a lot of long balls? It was effective as we won, but not exactly fluid.

Has Ange broken the statistical model in football? I'm sure Graham Potter was accused of similar in his Brighton days.
It can't be coincidental, surely.

Post-match celebrations.
Really solid start to the Frank era. A couple of quality additions, which should be Eze for a club of our stature, and we'll be cooking. #COYS

This is my dad, celebrating his 80th birthday (from last month - he's milking it), meeting one of his heroes. He used to watch Martin Chivers when he had a season ticket in the 60s and 70s.
Genuinely touching moment for me to witness.

Just noticed the new "Season History" feature in the #FPL app. I peaked in 2011/12, apparently.
And I really did have an absolute shocker last season!

Got a new job recently that means I'm commuting past the new Everton ground twice a week. I'm sure it'll be a great revenue driver for the club, but damn that thing is ugly from the outside.
I can't decide if it's more like an airport or a metallic blimp.

Then again, I remember my Nan watching me play FIFA 96 on the Sega Saturn and asking my dad if it was a real football match on the TV.
I suspect her eyesight may not have been brilliant, or TV pictures were just outstandingly bad.

Went to the Lytham Festival yesterday, saw Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne and Dagny. Fair play to JT, he destroyed that set, even after the whole PA system went down during his second song (it was fixed quickly).
