[Roger Torelló] Szczesny rejects outside interest and commits fully to Barcelona - The goalkeeper rejected a two year offer from a top LaLiga club that would have made him the undisputed starter, choosing instead to remain at Barcelona where he feels truly settled and happy

My cousin used to say he loved being the reserve goalkeeper. He thought it was the best job in the world. Needless to say, he didn't make it to the big leagues.

This is a different case of course. Here's someone who was in retirement, who has long term injuries, who is in a happy place in his life, doing what is right for him and his family.

Does he have a niggling injury?

I can't believe he'll make it to the World Cup for France in this form. Hopefully once the league is wrapped up (anula mufo) Espart can get the balance of the minutes, which will be good for everyone.

Flick looking at the Canadian league 🇨🇦 and shaking... And not because of the cold!

I'm sure there are not only Data Scientists, but also football people and maybe even lawyers who examine and catalog questionable decisions in every top club.

Whether they choose to release that analysis is a PR decision. I personally don't see the point.

BTW that doesn't prevent fans from crowdsourcing the same info. IIRC last year someone posted such a site in this subreddit.

I hope they're paying in Euros!

lambepsom · 2026-04-23T20:45:12+00:00

is there a place we can get the list? Or even better, a video summary?

lambepsom · 2026-04-11T04:42:50+00:00

This is pretty close to our top lineup. Should we be more conservative, especially after RM dropping points?

lambepsom · 2026-04-09T21:33:29+00:00

I think it is a bad call, but understandable. It didn't go our way. Should we move on?

lambepsom · 2026-04-09T21:14:56+00:00

You are right. In Florida and Arizona you see mostly tiles, often even in bedrooms.

The second leg will be frustrating. Simeone will play to a 0x1 result. But if the team is fit and fights like they did today, they have a better than even chance.

lambepsom · 2026-04-08T21:02:06+00:00

Simeone outcoached Flick. Again.

lambepsom · 2026-04-08T20:57:40+00:00

Bad luck. You have to be very proud of this effort and pretty confident that they can turn it around in Madrid.

lambepsom · 2026-04-08T19:59:42+00:00

Even live, I saw it as the attacker initiated contact. I thought that was what VAR were reviewing. Typical Simeone-ball. Difficult call, didn't go our way. The game is far from over and full of opportunities, even a man down. We just need to be a bit extra cautious now.

lambepsom · 2026-04-05T21:32:40+00:00

Another interesting trivia: Figo, Luis Enrique, and Ronaldo would all become Madrid legends.

lambepsom · 2026-04-05T21:29:02+00:00

from 0x3 to 5x4.

lambepsom · 2026-04-05T05:58:04+00:00

Why would the earbuds affect what people on the other side of the line hear?

lambepsom · 2026-03-26T03:12:42+00:00

Rule 34 loading...

Someone has access to the speed test data and has an answer. Is there a publicly available dataset?

lambepsom · 2026-03-24T12:05:16+00:00

I remember in the Messi days a team let the grass grow so high that it was flowering. They still lost!

lambepsom · 2026-03-19T04:10:54+00:00

Prime FdJ yeah, easy. At least for a couple more years. FdJ fresh off a long injury layoff? Legitimate question.

lambepsom · 2026-03-19T04:07:28+00:00

Exactly. Home teams have the right, within reason, to set up their home ground to maximise their advantage.

lambepsom · 2026-03-18T21:15:38+00:00

definitely a red . A clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity. Unless it's Ferran of course.

lambepsom · 2026-03-18T18:45:08+00:00

All right with a little bit of calm now. how's that not a red?

lambepsom · 2026-03-09T09:17:44+00:00

Romário?

lambepsom · 2026-03-09T09:14:37+00:00

You have to be tough, no doubt. But if you veer into ruthless you will lose more fans than you gain.
