@flynas I was double charged after your site said "transaction failed." I have tried calling your customer service numerous times with no answer. I have tried to contact your CS via WhatsApp - no answer. This is unaccepatable and I require an immediate refund of this error.
@KTTECHPRIVATE KT, might be a stupid question but appreciate the education: is it because analysis reads fundamentally bullish on the current market that you don't identify or analyse for any entry to pullbacks/put entries/scenarios?
@MilanVerse @BennaSaraa Bad take. Bennacer had some undoubtedly decisive games for us that single-handedly contributed towards the scudetto. The disrespect is insane... Maybe your judgement is clouded by his poor form in the last few injury-ridden years...
@_InsideMilan Sad to see our fans be so disillusioned by the lack of professionalism, motivation, and skill by majority of our players. Mister is absolutely not ALL to blame. Individual player mistakes have cost us. Keep him at all costs, UNLESS Allegri is the replacement.
@keralista Offensively, there is nothing wrong with this approach, and it's not a "desparate" tactic whatsover. Defensively they must know how to foil the counter, as you have analysed elsewhere - this is Conceicao's challenge and imo our players weakness/lack of IQ.
@keralista Utter nonsense. You're usually spot on with analysis but I have to disagree completely if you're using this specific example. No issue having your back 4 in the 2/3 when ALL 11 players of offense are in the final 3rd... The issue is defending the counter correctly, as a team.
@ACMilanSydney - Terminate Thiaw contract effective immediately
- Pavlovic continues fantastic rebirth & making the runs Theo (who's lost all confidence) became loved & famous for
- Sottil looked promising for Leao's inconsistencies
Jimenez should have started RB every match before Walker came
@keralista Agreed + will add Jimenez (although not perfect) should have been RB ahead of Royal, every, single, time. How is our CB Pavlovic making the runs Theo became loved and famous for? He's lost all his confidence. Terminate Thiaw contract effective immediately.
@DezzFromThe4@footballkush I say and stand by the same "off the ball criticism" even when he scores and literally saves us the game. The lack of effort off the ball, as a winger, is astonishing and unacceptable, no matter how you look at it.
@DezzFromThe4@footballkush You reply as if I reward & worship Morata/Tammy simply for their efforts out of possession 😅 You think I don't have criticisms of their offensive capabilities?? Simply put, Leao, as magical as he can be, lacks effort off the ball & that is not justified by his offensive wonders
@footballkush Agreed. As much as I love him, it's overas we're too defensively vulnerable I'd prefer a solid LB who can defend well rather than a goalscoring one who, direct or indirectly, allows us to concede way too many (easy) goals
@footballkush For me, I don't judge his performance based on G/A. It's his lack of effort, at all times, around the pitch. Losing possession (whether himself/teammate) he's just so lazy, whilst teammates scramble to recover. Look at every top winger across all leagues - ALL hustle all the time
@opikarim55@WhatGattusoMad THIS!!! Why can't any player on our team (except maybe Reijnders) accurately shoot from the top of the box? Do they expect to constantly thread the ball in every time? We have a goalscoring issue, clearly there should be greater emphasis on finishing in training!
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!
As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.
Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.
I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.
And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.
OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.
We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.
I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.
I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.
And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.
Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.
Rafa that!
Best always, your fan,
Roger
