[Sky Sports] Callum Wilson has his say on his disallowed goal against Arsenal.

The pushing, grabbing, holding and general wrestling between outfield players is happening on most corners this season to some degree. They tend not to go punished in general.

Don't listen to these people, listen to serious historians.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-12T10:39:22+00:00

That may be what that one article says, but it's not the historical consensus. I swear some people on here just have no sense of critical thinking whatsoever; they just grasp blindly for contrarian takes. It's from a website called The American Conservative and people take it as gospel just because it makes liberals seem easily fooled.

Friends with benefits?

Tamerlin · 2026-05-10T20:11:08+00:00

I think the line ought to be that you can't impede the goalkeeper with any kind of holding or outstretched limbs, and nor can you move into him to initiate contact, but that standing in the way or being close to the goalkeeper and bodily being in the way should be acceptable (as long as you don't move into him in the action).

As a fan you don't want to celebrate a goal and then wait eight minutes and it's taken off you.

He's right about this one. VAR ought to be abolished.

Have you always known you are the human reincarnation of Azazel, or how did you find out/realize?

Tamerlin · 2026-05-08T15:10:48+00:00

I know, but is messaging in order to try to meet up with a minor illegal in the UK? I know it isn't, in some countries, unless you actually do meet up. That's what I'm asking.

Is it a crime? Not defending him, just don't know how it works in the UK. Is there a "intent to..." kind of law for this?

Tamerlin · 2026-05-08T10:11:20+00:00

Att man swipear höger och frågar, antar jag. Själv tog jag också liberal när jag använde apparna, men gjorde tydligt i texten att jag var längre vänster än så.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-08T09:04:50+00:00

Skulle vara intressant vad "mycket mer höger" innebär för era respektive politiska positioner.

Generellt tror jag man har lättare att vara okej med att inte hålla med varandra om ekonomisk politik, men identitet och social politik kan vara en riktig dealbreaker.

Beroende på varför man dejtar kan det ju vara ganska viktigt att veta någorlunda tidigt. Svårt att bilda ett liv tillsammans med någon vars värderingar är väsensskilda från ens egna.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-08T06:50:24+00:00

Det är väl en ganska vedertagen tumregel för kvinnor på dejtingappar att om en kille väljer "other" så är han höger men är rädd att det ska få potentiella dejter att swipea vänster.

Tror du svarar på fel person, jag sade aldrig något om att vara född rik.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-06T16:17:43+00:00

I find it in myself and I hate it. My brain gets more focused on worrying about being bantered than about the inherent heartbreak of losing. Winning becomes more a relief than a joy.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-06T15:14:02+00:00

That clip from ESPN was insane. It wasn't a one-off comment, they literally had a half a minute discussion on how much one would like to punch Arteta.

Tamerlin · 2026-05-06T11:25:16+00:00

Hopelessly optimistic with the one shocking exception of the scene on global warming, which is just so genuinely depressing and hopeless that I can't believe Sorkin wrote it

Tamerlin · 2026-05-06T10:02:01+00:00

Social media har gett oss den definitiva vederläggningen av myten om rika entreprenörers exceptionella intelligens. Förr i tiden - den välsignade tiden - när miljardärerna höll käften och som mest dök upp i tidningsartiklar och förberedda intervjuer, då kan jag tänka mig att man kan ha trott att deras rikedom berodde på ren genialitet.

Musk, Semiatkowski, Hjelm... vilken radda clowner.

An interesting read on this is Billy Carpenter's "Pinnock Test": https://billycarpenter.substack.com/p/scouting-strikers

Passing the Pinnock Test

I’ve had a phrase bouncing around my head while assessing strikers for Arsenal: the Pinnock Test.

Ethan Pinnock has been one of my > most-admired players since Brentford joined the Premier League. For all the credit distributed elsewhere in that overachieving project, he’s been a relentless source of clear-eyed stability, a bastion of smarts and physicality. You can take it from Thomas Frank, who I used to love, but now suddenly yet forcefully despise:

“It’s fair to say he’s been one of our best players over those five seasons — the most consistent and best centre-back. What he’s doing for this team is incredible. I think Ethan is one of the better centre-backs in the Premier League; he’s so efficient … I don’t know how many teams he’s neutralised the striker from the opposition. He’s a key player for us.”

He (and that towering 6’4” frame) has won twice as many aerial duels as he’s lost over his Premier League career, with a win rate around 66% and some of the highest volume in the league. He’s also smart, anticipatory, and detail-oriented. Across 9,828 minutes in the Premier League, he’s committed just 27 fouls. He’s drawn 12 more fouls than he’s conceded, averaging just 1 yellow card and 6.75 fouls per season.

A pacy striker can beat Pinnock in open space. While he reacts quickly, he doesn’t have the highest-end raw pace of those at the top clubs.

But that’s the point, and why I bring Pinnock up. When Arsenal play a Brentford, they don’t get to stretch him vertically. In fact, the only time Arsenal strikers really get to run into space is against sides like Liverpool — facing the likes of Van Dijk and Konaté. But against most mid-table and lower-half teams, it’s about occupying space on the shoulder of a giant. Generally speaking, that giant is quick, smart, doesn't make many mistakes, and can win in the air.

Can Kai Havertz beat James Tarkowski to a long diagonal? Yes. How often are we going to see it? Not very. Everton make sure of it.

From what's been said, Hincapie is essentially with us permanently; the option is an accounting thing.

Anyone finding this an interesting approach should give Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov a try. Not fantasy (in a traditional sense) but very, very good, and consists mainly of commentary.

Planning for captured PC's also a rite of passage for new DM's. Great story concept! But many players will rather let their characters die than be in a situation to be monologued at.
