@orbinho.bsky.social @scott.cannonstats.com Either of you have good stats on getting and conceding corners? B/c I feel like that's often missing from the Set Piece FC discourse: you need to give yourself chances to score from a corner & it's great if you don't leave yourself vulnerable

Gotta give huge credit to Merino there. He catches a lot of slack for stuff he doesn't do as well as some others, but that was great.

That's why he's our best player

Very happy to say that this team indeed showed what it's made of.
Okay, let's see what this team is made of now. We have been playing really well and creating chances. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to put 3 past them in the remaining time.

I wish this weren't true but Port Vale look more likely to score than we do.

Bud Light ... I guess I get it even though I think it's gross that people react this way.
But what did Cracker Barrel do to enrage the fascists? This one I don't understand at all.

Before today, what was Palmer's recent record scoring from open play?
A friend on a group chat just called him England's best player, and I want to remind everyone of the cold streak.

By bizarre coincidence, I happened to just read "The Soccer War," about the 1969 Honduras-El Salvador conflict, on the exact same day those 2 countries are meeting in the Gold Cup
If you don't know Kapuscinski's classic piece of literary journalism, (I didn't until recently) I HIGHLY recommend.

I feel bad for the Knicks, but these finals will showcase the most exciting young teams in the league. If you care about smart team building you have to love this matchup.

This is exactly why we bought Declan Rice. He's a Champion of Europe (😜), and having someone with that experience is invaluable in moments like this.

Serie A is so weird
How bad are Juve to get knocked out by that lot? And if guys like Mkhi & Kola are still thriving in Italy, then the whole league must be shit
OTOH, Inter & Atalanta handled a closer-to-full-strength AFC, & Inter were in final 2 years ago. So actually pretty good?

I love Myles but he should really come off RIGHT NOW. We have 4 left backs on the bench and we're in control of the tie.

I love this stadium. In the state of Texas, this would be a small venue for high school football.

I was starting to worry (not really) that Odegaard might never score for us again

Cedric obviously put a curse on this club as he was cleaning out his locker last June. The fact that he seems likable and appears to get along with his teammates is all part of his nefarious ways. You should never underestimate that man's capacity for evil.

Hope I'm wrong, but at this moment our chances of scoring look quite slim

Tim I wanted to share something with you that relates to both Arsenal & something else we have in common. It puzzled me, but you may know better than me. Hit me up if you don't mind.

Yes Fulham!
Not only are they my 2nd team, since I've been to a game there plus all the Arsenal guys, but I also happened to place a small wager on a draw 😀

At this time of year I feel like there's only one correct answer. For Gen X at least.
Although technically that's 2 famous dead guys if you want to include Jim Henson
