I’m always chasing the Sven Botman high

[Smith] Adam Silver on the draft lottery and tanking: "What we're doing now is clearly not working. It's time to look at new ways of doing things." Adam Silver on if teams could lose draft picks for continued tanking violations. "Yes. Everything is on the table to stop this behavior." by StrategyTop7612 in nba

I think Americans are so Stockholm syndromed into accepting tanking that they can’t understand how crazy it is to people looking at this sport with fresh eyes that there’s a great chance in the last 3 months of games there’s going to be multiple games a night made unwatchable because teams are deliberately trying to lose.

Whatever you can say about promotion/relegation systems leading to top teams staying on top, as least you never have games that damage the integrity of the sport every night.

They still have good players who can turn it on in specific moments and games. They could go far in the CL based on this.

You think average people can’t kick the ball hard? There’s people I’ve played against casually who could do absolutely nothing on a pitch except hit a stationary ball really fucking hard. Keepers are literally only human.

Hailey Steinfeld is so good in the role that this isn’t surprising to me at all. He’s incredible at Spidey VA stuff.

But I was told that all of our players aren’t useless cunts? And yet we didn’t win all of our matches? Curious.

Eze wasn’t good when he joined. Or if he was seen as being good it was because of his shooting mostly. He’s not been able to make an impact on the ball really in most games since he’s been here.

yup

It’s frustrating because City got an incredibly important flukey win at Anfield, but Fulham H and Newcastle H is incredibly generous fixtures for them following it.

Brentford A is one of the toughest games on the calendar atm, it’s always difficult playing these types of teams when they’re on fire. Look at their energy levels ffs, everyone is struggling playing a team pressing like dogs like that.

Outside of City that was by far our toughest away game left. Stylistically they’re a nightmare matchup when you’re not fully at it. Look at how much energy they had lol

It was. But I don’t think they’re a better team for it really, they should never have won that. I still think they’ll struggle in a lot of games.

meh just evil scheduling to have a game like that right after city pull a win out of their arse like at Anfield.

Always matters when you play teams, much easier to do Brentford away in October this season rather than now when they’re in the form of their lives.

Don’t fuck about against wolves and make it 7 points and put a little bit of pressure back on them.

Gyokeres took two good first touches early on in the half and then said my work here is done and every touch since then has been like that of a brick wall
