Which @premierleague teams chop and change the most and how does it impact performance?

@tabouchadi They’re wonderful, Tarik. I use them in my post-graduate course on Analytical Politics and Policymaking in Europe.

Ei schau mal @chbiermann was die Post heute gebracht hat. Freu mich auf die Lektüre – gespannt wie’n Flitzebogen!

[Chris Anderson @soccerquant]

Just for the fun of it: since it’s the 2022 #StatsBombConferenceI thought it’d be fun to share what you could call the current @MLS Moneyball charts (salary data courtesy of @AnalysisEvolved). (To help w reading, I’ve circled the “good” quadrant)

[Chris Anderson @soccerquant]

Wow. Can't believe the forensic work that went into unearthing this. Thanks, guys - amazing walk down memory lane. 🙏

@DaveLaidig 😉 Dying for coaches to be less conservative and more innovative. Innovation not typically rewarded in the game (because risky). Fear of looking foolish is a strong deterrent.

Thrilled this study w/ my great colleague @sarahobolt has found a terrific home at @WEPsocial. We examine the politics of face coverings - specifically, people's willingness to comply with UK govt advice to wear masks. Many thanks to the @BritishAcademy_ for supporting our work.

Amazing story

[Sean Williams @swilliamsjourno]

In the 1980s an East German criminal was delivered across the Berlin Wall to fuel a tide of neo-Nazi violence that still plagues Germany today.

His name was Rainer Sonntag—and he was a Communist spy.

His handler? Vladimir Putin.

Fun and informative piece if you're into data analysis in football (and understanding a bit of its history).

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.
