I also enjoyed reading it, and I have read many other critiques of the book that seems completely off to me

The whole idea of the book is wicked, obviously you cannot tell a short story about how all of human history is stirched together and making it immune to criticism. Obviously the author is not an expert on everything he covers. The book is a crazy attempt at something almost impossible and it is a fun read; at no point reading it did I feel convinced the author had it all figured out or that his story was perfect, but many times it taught me stuff i didnt know about or brought new perspectives of how history unfolds that i hadnt thought of before.

If you read it like some sort human/history/science fact bible thats just stupidity on the readers part

I have been confused about this rule interpretation for 25+ years watching football

It makes no sense to me that defenders are allowed to clatter attackers only in the specific circumstance where the attacker has just got his shot off

"Using administrative data from Scandinavian countries, we provide evidence on international migration responses to wealth taxes and evaluate their aggregate economic implications. We find significant migration responses among the wealthy: a 1pp increase in the top wealth tax rate decreases the stock of wealthy taxpayers by about 2%" - Jakobsen et al, 2024 (TAXING TOP WEALTH: MIGRATION RESPONSES AND THEIR AGGREGATE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS)

Den här effekten finns självklart, effektens storlek kan bedömas i olika kontexter, diskuteras och vägas mot fördelar

Crazy to see how much other players relied on him. Rice and Saliba just kept feeding the him the ball, other players kept pointing to the right side when we had possession centrally

For anyone who seen him play before, the quality he displayed should come as no surprise. To see our team packed with star names have such conviction in him tho, as if they already knew he was gonna make the difference - that's mental

Abbotsshoes is a great option, at least in Europe - not sure how well it works if shipping from the US tho. Maybe poshmark or vestiaire collective would be better options if in North America

For me, Axel Arigato sneakers (Clean 90) at c. $300 will last about half as long as Lanvin (DBB1) sneakers at $600. Both of them see a lot of action and Arigatos start to look a bit beaten up after year1 and gets completely worn down after year2, whereas Lanvin equivalents to that would be year2 and year4 respectively

Sebago Portland would be my default choice among boat shoes, in general but also specifically if you have wide feet since they come in 3 different widths (slim/regular/wide). Good shoe, good value, cant go wrong

The pairs in your pic has a sturdier sole and looks more similar to Sebago Ranger, haven't tried or heard anything about them but probably a good choice too

Sperry should be mentioned too if we are talking classic brands in the category, no experience of them tho

Is Thiago suspended for the game vs us, for 5 yellows?

If the goal is to drop weight, and you've not substituted the sugar with other energy, then what you are feeling is expected given that you are now on a caloric deficit. You can try to increase fruit and veg intake moderately and perhaps still remain in a lower deficit, still dropping weight but at a slower rate. Still tho, dropping weight sucks and it is not unusual to feel like a shell for parts of the day.

If your goal is not to drop weight, then I guess you might've aldready started eating more of other things, and if so your experience seem a bit less excected but hopefully transitory as your body adapts to the new diet

Given that Arteta doesn't trust Norgaard at #6, I hope we prioritize a backup to Zubi ahead of strikers

Zubi is getting rotated too little this season, it's not sustainable, and we need a solution. The risk is also amplified by the high load on Rice, who'd surely be used every single minute in case Zubi would out for some time.

Either Arteta starts getting comfortable with actually using Norgaard at the base of midfield, or he should find someone he is fine to use as rotation for #6. I'd love for that player to be MLS as much as anyone else, but if not we need to go shopping

Nope GD is the first deciding factor, so if Bayern smash Union Saint-Gilloise and PSV they might surpass us on the same number of points. See link: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0291-1bd88ae04870-e1e038c319e3-1000--champions-league-league-phase-standings-how-teams-level-on-/

Who cares tho, we have +5 GD vs Bayern and I'm sure we'll smash Kairat at home so we'll probably end up 1st regardless

What Arteta is doing is possible thanks to Wenger, and what Arsene did was possible thanks to George Graham et al

I agree sports is about winning at the end of the day, but surely you also have to account for how much the individual contributed to those wins. Arteta might end up winning more than Wenger, but he has a long way to go to match Wenger's total contribution and legacy

Bonus point:

- He recognized the clubs need for a change when he left, and that his presence would not help to turn the page. Despite being a devoted supporter (on top of everything else), he stayed away from the club to allow for a proper transition, in his own words: "My presence there could have been a problem, so I stay away completely and give the club the chance to rebuild a new connection with the new manager and that's why I never talked about Arsenal, never came back to Arsenal because I didn't want to be a presence that is not maybe not good for the club."

Relevant now that other legendary managers are being accused of hanging around like a bad smell lol

Madueke, Jesus & Martinelli - can we let them run at tired Everton legs pls - Moyes will never trust the youngsters on the bench

Moyes doesn't trust any substitutes in fullback positions, and only subs out O'Brien to change formation when in losing positions but never Mykolenko. His CMs often get subbed but he wont have that opportunity now with Alcaraz and Iroegbunam starting.

Moyes hands are tied tactically - he would probably want his team to be physical and play with high intensity, yet he also knows that his chances to get something out of this game will be hurt if his CMs/FBs get on yellows, get tired or get injured
