Life is too short to be sad, so be happy!

@SkySportsPL Man City did this on more than one occasion against Newcastle last night, in front of the referee, and all they seemed to get was a warning? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Why is there no consistency?

[AJ Large @ajlarge]

@maxrushden going early with a question for the pod - why are some many City players wearing bandages on their hands? Is it from all the blatant pushing they get away with? 🤔 (Yes I am a disgruntled Newcastle fan 🤣🤣)

[AJ Large @ajlarge]

@EPLBible I blame Jake Humphrey’s High Performance mindset…

Newcastle had to start Karius in a cup final because Dubravka was cup tied, but Man City get to play Semenyo, despite him playing for Bournemouth in the Carabao this season.

Seems totally fair.

@barneyronay Home advantage Barney!

@maxrushden a lot of talk this week around Ivan Toney being in the squad even though he plays in Saudi. Meanwhile, Ruben Neves is quietly still playing for and scoring the winning penalty for Portugal. Is it not actually a big deal? #footballweekly

@EEHelpdesk what’s going on with mobile data? I have a 5G sim and never had issues but in the last few weeks speeds have been so slow. Only getting 3mbps should be getting over 100?! #ee

Bruno blowing Fernandez a kiss 😂😂😂😂

Some boy. #NUFC

@FCB_ACEE I think what makes Rice’s better is that he does it with his weaker left foot. Could Messi do that with his right foot?

[AJ Large @ajlarge]

@maxrushden no pressure Max but tomorrow’s pod will be one for the ages. I will no doubt save it and listen to it on rainy days. Make it a good one! #nufc #footballweekly

@maxrushden @guardian_sport @bglendenning @Will_Unwin @Seb_Hutch Can teams target others who have their keeper as a captain, foul to the point where captains get called to the ref then take a quick free kick and score while the keeper is still making his way back? Much like the Walker incident for the first Arsenal goal.

IT’S BLACK AND WHITE 🖤🤍

@_chrisquinn Interesting if it is the latter because then that means that you could generate an xG of more than 1 for one attack. If Salah scores the pen the second shot doesn’t exist. Essentially more you miss the higher xG you could generate in theory!

[AJ Large @ajlarge]

@xGPhilosophy can I clarify something that’s bugging me? In terms of xG does each shot contribute or each “attack”? E.g. Salah’s penalty miss and TAA’s follow up - does that count as one combined score or is each shot counted and totalled independently? Thanks.

@SkyHelpTeam ordered Broadband at the end of October. It’s nearly 2024 and after 3 engineer visits, 2 no shows and countless hours on the phone to your help team still no Broadband. No Boxing Day sport, no streaming for the kids. Appalling and still no sign of it getting sorted!

[AJ Large @ajlarge]

@HamleysOfficial They have b) 3

@BBCSport @tntsports @SkySports idea for an end of tournament montage:

Set to Coldplay’s The Scientist - usual highlights of the competition until the last 30 seconds when you play the highlights backwards, finish with freeze frame of first tee-off/kick-off etc.
