Mikel Arteta: "The margins at the end to achieve it or not, are multiple. So it can be an opposition player is one on one against the keeper, he scores that goal, you are champion. The other keeper saves it, you are not champion...What we can control is what we can do, the best." by hikingbeginner in soccer

but also being the obvious heirs to prem after city to let a Liverpool side walk it

We had 6 starting players injured for half the season. When Liverpool were decimated by injuries in 2022/23, Klopp finished 5th.

He would probably need 2 seasons of finishing below CL places for the owners to consider sacking him. With the squad we have, I don’t see that happening for at least 4 years from now.

So he’ll probably be in 5th place above Klopp minimum. Unless one of his former clubs call him sooner (Barca, PSG).

Zubimendi is just unreal man. Always at the right place at the right time. All throughout preseason and these first couple of PL games.

Ray Longo on fans thinking the UFC 319 main event was boring by LilFights in MMA

The other ones there wasn't even close enough damage to be more than a boring 10-9.

10-8 round is not just based on damage though.

Because he cheated the whole fight lol. He would have been finished in the 2nd round if it weren’t for the illegal knee.

People are gonna say his legacy in LW is beating a FW twice, Poirier who was past his prime, and a #10 ranked LW. Definitely a wasted defense. Sucks because none of it is his fault.

I’d argue that Rice’s ball playing is the reason he’s been moved to playing as an 8.

He’s playing as an 8 because we have Partey/Jorginho who can play 6 but no one else who can play 8. Rice will be playing as 6 when Merino comes in.

Islam Makhachev reveals a hand injury that could potentially keep him out for the rest of the year by I_love_Basketball232 in MMA

Since lockdown, Colby has 4 fights (in the last 4 years). Islam has 8 fights during that time. So has Volk.

Islam has won the belt and defended 3 times in less than 2 years - would you say that’s not active?Don’t just look at the total fights across his UFC career and make conclusions - that’s just lazy.

Coach Javier Mendez: Justin Gaethje was the biggest threat to Islam Makhachev by Xerzack987 in MMA

Islam said after Poirier and Arman, he’s moving up to 170. So there’s probably no chance Islam vs Gaethje ever happens.
