I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
I think he was due to do it this year but it got sidelined after his off season crash.

I don’t really follow the PL these days so haven’t seen in the past couple of seasons, but was a replacement for Robertson necessary? Still looks pretty sharp on Scotland duty.

Juve-Torino finished goalless. Up to Parma and Milan now for the clean sweep.

Yeah I chose to cancel it this afternoon, P-T was the final straw. Happy to take my chances on streaming next year. And yeah, I’d be happy to pay the £30 a month if I never had to hear CK again.

No reason why it couldn’t have been shown online on D+ even if the TV schedule didn’t allow for it. It’s got markedly worse since the price increase. Ad-free streams mostly gone, and now a race not being shown at all even though it was in the schedule. What a shambles.

Always wondered why the attrition is usually higher in Worlds than other races. Is it because of the circuit structure meaning riders can pull in once their job is done rather than having to ride to the end to get back to the bus?

I feel like Worlds are always weird by the standard of regular bike races so it’ll be weird squared.

He’s the Mario Balotelli of cycling. Clearly insanely talented but doesn’t have the attitude to get a team to work for him or to dig in and limit losses on days where he might be feeling below par.

I saw a statement from yesterday about ‘aligning with my values’, has he said something more inflammatory this morning? Can see a lot of people talking about it but can’t find a quote!

This exact skill was my main takeaway from Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait. He had the same thing, got the ball with 2 or 3 players around him and in 1 or 2 touches made space for himself. Never noticed in whole match coverage because it was just so effortless.

So gutted. I really thought she was going to win it after Suisse but looks like things have gone downhill since about the middle of the Giro 🥲

Yeah I don’t get it at all. Yates and Kuss don’t seem to be able to ride quickly enough to put Pog under any pressure, don’t see why they let them come back at all. O’Connor is going quicker than Yates atm.
