@DownThePubPod @FromAwaysHFX wow that is so Beglin I can hear it

@melaniejoly If only the Minister of Foreign Affairs for a major nation had the ability to do anything about it....

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@nonewthing Lol so close to a post that doesn't seem cracked af and then you have to go and add the last bit to be annoying as hell

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@Stuart_Watson Pablo must have a kid who is almost the right age right?

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@JonnyPotter87 Ok got you. I agree the rule is over the top, especially when there are other things that need cracking down on more. But for me, you can't officiate differently based on someone already being booked. I don't like the rule but that is not the solution.

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@EuroExpert_ Where did you get the notebook with pitch on right page?

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@JonnyPotter87 I am also talking about consistency within games.

Unless I misunderstand, you would be ok with a yellow for imaginary card if he hadn't been booked, but think a different standard should be applied if he is already booked.

Sin bin is an interesting and separate point though

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@JonnyPotter87 I would argue point one directly contradicts point two

If the same infraction is a yellow the first time, but not a yellow the second, is that not the definition of inconsistency?

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@MoArsenal86 $40m seems like a quite arbitrary number, and if you factor in how long each manager has been there that is more $40m+ signings per year for Arteta than Klopp, and very little difference to Pep.

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@nonewthing But they didn't have a finishing problem. You truly are on one tonight.

@patrice421 It was the 10th youngest starting XI in Prem history too.

@themoderndaygk Would he not have had more chance to make this save if he gets a step to his left in before pushing? Or is slo-mo deceiving me here and there was no time?

The set (pre-split) looks very wide to me and possibly inhibits his ability to do so? Thoughts? Love learning from yall.

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@BTFR17 Why waste a man on the near post if they are just going to have a nap? That ball is going in like a yard from the post and he's just watching, even after the save

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@secondtierpod My lasting memory of him is standing in the North Stand at Portman Road when I was 12 and thinking "Matty Fryatt, Howard eat it" was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.

@thebenesb This thread is the way it should be. Short, simple language, clear examples. No effort to be wordy and over-intellectualize. Fantastic 👏👏

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@PaddyODurnan @FromAwaysHFX Buddy what are you even on about From Aways isn't an SG it literally is just one person.

@MosesDuckrell @ReubenPinder Trying to improve your public image is absolutely wrong if it isn't accompanied by an effort to change the substance behind the image itself. That's just empty PR.

And yes, every major Western state is guilty of this too. But there are levels.

@KierDoyle @AFHStewart The use of "almost exclusively" in that tweet can't just be a poor choice of words - it is the premise the whole idea of the tweet is built around.

If it is a poor choice of words, then it just means your point is a poor point.

You move a lot of goalposts.

[alex sheppard @its_shep]

@KierDoyle @JackMcInroy You can't use "rough rules of thumb" when passing off grand assertions as being backed by data. Those are just opinions.
