Wolves playing home to Liverpool on Tuesday and then again on Friday feels all wrong.

I’d forgotten that. We’ve been in the trenches for so long.

“Igor Tudor” is going to be an incredible quiz answer one day.

Indeed! Yeah, when people ask what's happened for us to be in this situation, the unifying answer, I take it, is complacency, caused by how much energy went into the stadium, what its opening seemed, erroneously, to symbolise, and reaching the CL final. In hindsight, the latter seems like a curse.

Don’t mean this as a dunk *at all* but I keep thinking back to that VFTL where you mentioned seeing a ”no more lady gaga” protest sign or something like that. I agreed with you entirely at the time but now I wonder if there wasn’t something to that, in terms of the focus of the club.

keep seeing spurs stories about DOFs, transfer targets that really don’t feel like a club about to get relegated.

The Premier League is an unwatchable slog because the PGMOL has chosen to not call obstruction, grabbing, holding, etc.. on corners.

It’s an absolutely embarrassment for the Premier League and I doubt they will do anything about it.

Sign saying “no dogs except guide dogs and dogs travelling with passengers”.

This airport sign seems to amount to “no wild dogs”

Can’t wait to see him in the dressing room after the CL final

He's (understandably) underplaying how miraculous reaching the CL final was (in more than one way).

Yes, to the extent that I could find a steer from the rules it seemed like that. Quite annoying given that an indirect free kick to the defending team is less good than a goalkick from the hands! My kid’s team have loads of counterattacks stopped this way.

Question from kid football today: suppose a keeper is trying to kick the ball from their hands, if an opponent intentionally runs across their path, can the keeper still go ahead with the kick (and smash it into the player from close range)?

Oh nice! What’s he like, stylistically?

That would be satisfying. And definitely the groundwork is there (the dance party). And, marginally, Jamie looking so much like Rick Grimes primes you to underestimate it.

1000% this!

I met him last season with my eldest and he seemed such a lovely kid. Said that the janitor asked him if he'd watched the derby at the weekend and he got to say "Yeah, I scored in it." Really hope he comes good for us.

Can I ask your opinion about the end of Years / beginning of Temple? I thought the end of Years kinda spoiled it (with that extra bit to set up the next film, after what seemed like a natural ending). And, having seen Temple, I still don’t get why they did things that way. What did you make of it?

Tottenham eh

Book blogging, part 1. How happy should you be about the present state of the world? This is a coherent question. It is also neglected: the literature on norms for emotion almost never discusses happiness. This is effectively the gap the book aims to address. alexgregory.name#HAPbook

Our obsession with signing very similar left sided attackers in the same age bracket is bizarre, especially when for so many seasons we've tried to get by with no proper backup keeper!

At least one (preposterous) episode of wondering if this is a new Kane’s-deflected-free-kick-against-Villa-that-saved-Poch. Ridiculous.

nothing today (yet!) just amazed at the emotional rollercoaster of the build up to last night and then the performance and how I feel today!

A scene from peep show. Tony telling Jez “she’s the beautiful position, my friend”.

Another day of supporting Tottenham hotspur

I wonder if there was a typo in the drafting of this because “and/or“ doesn’t really make sense. Maybe was supposed to read “and so…”?

Yeah, it reads to me like (1) you don’t have to reinstate Solanke (2) if you reinstate Solanke, it can’t be in place of someone other than Tel.

it’s Scanlon’s World Cup thought experiment but the man trapped under the transmitter is all of us

Great stuff! Superb cover and jumper colour coordination!
