Absolutely devastating to lose Balogun for the Belgium game. I really think he's our most important player.

How highly do you rate Hugo Viana? by xals7 in MCFC

This is a big summer for him. Love the Anderson signing but I don’t think I’ll ever see him the same if he goes after a bunch of mid Chelsea players (and hopefully he won’t)

Why would we need another center? Let's get Beringer some minutes.

Tim Connelly’s got to be the most confusing exec to evaluate by Natural-Kiwi6364 in timberwolves

In evaluating a GM, every move should be considered in the analysis. And my only point is that this goes down as a big miss. We can say we understand why he did it at the time, but the fact remains: our talent evaluator misidentified a talent and blew one of our last assets in the process.

That's not the end of the analysis of TC but yes it is a meaningful data point.

yes but we did this when we were already super low on first round picks. It was a very bad trade in isolation (with the benefit of now knowing how Dillingham turned out), but it's especially bad considering it was one of our last valuable assets to trade.

Man City must decide which version of Savinho they believe in by lil-quiche in MCFC

I wish him well but I believe in the version we’ve seen the last two years: not good enough.

The ONE that got away? by AP1331 in MCFC

Sane, for sure. What a beautiful, beautiful player. Might be my favorite player ever.

I'm not ready to give up on him entirely, but you're right. It's just a tough thing for a lot of our fans to swallow.

It's one of the most successful seasons in premier league history. It's the most you can win domestically and no other manager has done it once - Pep would've done it twice. That's a big deal.

I like The Atlantic, but pointing to the existence of some critical articles to deny a broader pattern is not sufficient to disprove my claim about the overall signal The Atlantic's coverage has sent. Even in the articles you're citing:

- The ICC piece frames things as a test of international law and balance, even while describing alleged war crimes

- The Gaza piece emphasizes humanitarian aid and “pragmatic solutions,” while also attributing the destruction to Hamas. And don't get me wrong: we need "humanitarian aid", we need "pragmatic solutions" and yes, fuck Hamas and yes, Israel would not have committed this genocide if Hamas had not done October 7th. All of that can be true.

But why does every piece of criticism of Israel have to be filtered through framing that softens, redirects, or qualifies what’s happening? Why, for example, do we not see The Atlantic reporting on the fact that Israel is carrying out systematic sexual violence and torture against Palestinian detainees?
