The only tight layer is the first.

My winter set up is:

First layer: tight top + bottom wool long johns (in sure there is a proper term for em, but it's what we called em)

Second layer: loose wool onesie I got from Roots.

Third layer: loose sweat pants + hoodless sweater

Fourth layer: loose insulated work pants + work hoodie

Fifth layer: snow pants and jacket

This gets me through winter in Winnipeg and rarely do I get cold.

I'm really shocked there wasn't a few other teams looking at JWP this summer, given the relatively low price.

Note the bold word ......

Kosovo Albanians belong to the ethnic Albanian sub-group of Ghegs,[10] who inhabit the north of Albania, north of the Shkumbin river, Kosovo, southern Serbia, and western parts of North Macedonia.

Now what is racism?

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

Explain to me, how this isn't racism?

The only way they are escaping the death spiral is for teams to adopt attacking styles of play while also investing in, cheap, young attacking talent. Football is an international sport and outside of Barca and Madrid the other teams need to attract new fans and they won't be doing that with murder ball. I'm the average fan the league needs to attract and I personally don't want to watch a bunch of teams play 60-70 mins of slow, defensive and occasionally brutal football.

Brighton have made a case for smaller teams who want to compete and it's time for some teams to start looking at how they can adopt some of Brighton's philosophies and emulating them.

Technically, yes.

I haven't had the luxury of sitting down and watching games as closely as I'd like to, but Klopp is doing something different this year. Ive s¹een Gakpo start in the CM slot while Mac Allister has been the DM basically.

Given their depth issues at CM, plugging the DM role for one year isn't a big problem. I should probably go check YouTube for an in depth analysis of their tactics this year when I find some time.

A solid signing that should give them the depth they need at CM.

There is no clear front runner in that group and there will be no easy game, so every point is going to matter.

I'd like to see Milan and Dortmund move on but I have a feeling it will be Newcastle and PSG.

At least make the lie believable

Every 100 million raised by player sales can fund 500 million of purchases if the players sign five-year contracts.

The problem with this theory is that it isn't perpetual and it ignores the debt that continues to grow. See below.

  • Year 1. Sell 100, Buy 500, -400 net.
  • Year 2. Sell 100, Buy 500, -800 net.
  • Year 3. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,200 net.
  • Year 4. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,600 net.
  • Year 5. Sell 100, Buy 500 - 2,000 net.

Kicking the can further down the road while accruing more dept isn't sustainable and I'm not sure what the end goal is. Spending 1b doesn't guarantee success (ask Man U fans) and if Chelsea can't get their shit together and get into CL regularly they will eventually end up in a financial dumster fire.

As for the players and the manager, I'm not optimistic in how it will all play out. Poch is a good manager and I'm sure he will turn things around from the mess that was last year, but I don't see how this squad gets beyond 7th, especially if Brighton, Brentford and Villa continue playing as well as they are.

You kind of saw this coming. Given how Partey is still playing and has been crucial for our success (at times) I'm guessing ManU figured if we haven't been crucified for doing nothing then they won't either.
