@IanDarke No one is asking for a cavalier mindset though, just a more active press and a slightly higher defensive line. Hindsight and all, but it felt like we sat back far too much and let them attack for the majority of that game. I think the team will regret that when they watch again.

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@_PhilCosta We lost with 25% possession and 1 SoT. It is so so hard to win a final with those stats. PSG are great but surely you can understand why some feel we should have set up with more ambition. We’ve outscored PSG on xG the last 3 times we played them, so why so negative tonight?

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@HLTCO We lost, so clearly not the right approach. We had the right game plan for the first 5-10 mins - an aggressive but measured high press which seemed to worry PSG. But then we went low block and ceded all control. Ultimately you don’t win many finals with 25% possession and 1 SoT.

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@EBL2017 Sorry but when you’ve got your foot on your opponent’s throat after 6 minutes, you don’t spend the next 60 helping them get back on their feet. That’s what we did tonight tactically. We are so much better than the way we were set up to play.

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@DarrenArsenal1 Probably not the time but I don’t think that was a good performance at all. We are 💯 capable of competing with PSG offensively as much as defensively, but went into our shell as soon as we scored. It was all there for us, as the first 10 mins showed. Absolutely gutted.

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@scottjwillis We need a much higher bar for handball penalties generally. Was it intentional? Did it meaningfully create an advantage or affect a goal scoring situation? If not, it doesn’t warrant the punishment. We’re seeing too many big games distorted on a technicality.

This is the third year I've worked with @foodgov and @FSScot on this fascinating report.

We can sometimes take the safety and integrity of our food for granted in the UK.

This report explains why we shouldn't.👇

[Food Standards Agency @foodgov]

Today we've published 'Our Food 2023: An annual review of food standards across the UK' with @FSScot.

It is the third report since the UK left the EU and is an evidence-based assessment of food standards across all four nations.

@zak_afc Yes this came directly from the bench. Raya got the instruction initially and then shouted to timber who passed it up the pitch. Fascinating to watch and absolutely pre-planned!

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@afcDW Honestly the whole thing is just tedious, and Pgmol are wholly to blame. NONE of these incidents should be yellow cards really. But by the letter of the law etc…

[Neil Coffey @NeilCoffey]

@JonRay_15 @DeanJamesAFC Yes. This is the key point for me. They were both playing silly buggers and the ref should have told they to cut it out & get on with the game, i.e. use a bit of common sense. No one would have complained & we wouldn’t have had to sit through 2 weeks of tedious arguments.

USA media dishes brutal truth about Brexit Britain

“Every decision taken by Tory (and @LibDems) governments was a political decision—it did not need to happen that way. Austerity was never the hard logic of dutiful caretakers; it was a political calculation to rescue rich friends and dump the burdensome price on those least able to endure the cost.”

“There is mold in the walls and shit in the rivers, posh butter in the supermarkets has anti-theft tags stuck to it, the trains run on schedule about half the time, the average pub-poured pint of lager—the blood of the nation—is nearing the criminal price of 5 pounds ($6.34), and on May 22 a new general election was announced to the people of Great Britain by a prime minister who is richer than the king. 

“Should the polls prove correct—short of a 2016-scale error—the annihilation will be justified. Wage growth is at its lowest level since the Napoleonic Wars. What the Financial Timescalls the “rental market” and what the rest of us call “How much of your money someone richer than you takes every month” is stratospherically inflated; rent is about half a person’s average salary in London. Chain stores on British high streets close permanently at a rate of 14 per day, leaving most shopping areas a procession of corrugated shutters, uncollected rubbish, and the sleeping bags of the homeless.

“The precious marvel that is the National Health Service is cracking at the seams; at the current rate, waiting lists will not be cleared for another 685 years. The union for junior doctors, the BMA, has organised 10 strikes and walkouts in the past year for a pay deal that would only bring wages up to the current level of inflation. The city of Birmingham was the first to tip over into bankruptcy; more will follow.

“In 2022, at least 3% of all families in Britain—around two million people—could not afford to eat. Like a revenant from Dickens, Victorian diseases like scurvy, rickets, and scabies are back to blight children.

“Life expectancy has dropped to the lowest level since 2010—tellingly, the year the Conservatives took power, at the height of the recession.”

“These are the bitter fruits of austerity: an experiment in sado-monetarist economics and financial barbarism. Not much unites those five PMs other than the constant ritual tribute in blood to their coiffed icon, Margaret Thatcher. Yet Thatcher, back in the 1980s, did not lie about how brutal the first shock of neoliberalism was going to be. She coldly promised torture before riches.

“Its sequel, however, was pitched by its architect George Osborne, chancellor under David Cameron, as a bit of belt-tightening resembling that most prized memory in the national canon: the Blitz Spirit. Come on, chaps, buck up and give it some welly. The shattering of society into thinner fragments was supposed to be a hardy adventure. 

“Midway through this downhill plummet, Britain bumbled backward out of the EU. The wreckage of this four-year disaster can now best be seen as an attempt to escape the harsh bite of austerity.

“Brexit was a retreat from hunger into myth: an embrace of antique fables about British pluck and derring-do, a belief that even without an empire and an industrial base this archipelago might reclaim past glory. Faced with profound turmoil, much of the nation turned to a half-remembered falsehood about their grandfather’s generation, marching along with Churchill. This election is the reckoning Brexit postponed.
