duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I teach sport business at uni and we do a general class about how typical businesses allocate resources, what some ratios look like etc. And then we look at 2024 Villa ... 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I feel like you really wanted skisuit Flanders 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Pleasantly surprised with Stef's American accent. Most convincing Brit since Idris Elba in The Wire ... 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It is a damning indictment on all involved* that we have recently seen the clean up hitter for the Giants be the guy who started the season as the #9 hitter in AA. No way they should be charging MLB prices to watch this team. (except Jonah Cox, whom I love) 111
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 17/09/2026While I have long term faith in Xabi Alonso, you are suffering from significant defensive frailties and really missing Enzo at the moment, Chelsea! 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My perverse pleasure: checking in every day to confirm that there are still no Giants pitchers doing anything interesting. 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Put into stark relief as Bruno bangs one in from 25 for Arsenal while we just watched Fernandes want to take 5 touches inside the box every time 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026'Reduces' is probably a better word ... 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There's also the issue that if Udogie isn't playing our backline is horrifically slow. Micky can onky do so much. A real issue for this team is its lack of physicality, at least Archie minimises some of that risk. 201
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That is the perfect suggestion for a Spurs fan. No notes. 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Assuming you haven’t memorised Romo's value stats, of course 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Disagree with this. He has his flaws as a player (obviously) but has always given 100% on the pitch even when not being given the status in the squad that he wants. 111
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 05/09/2026You might find this, the last few minutes in particular, interesting. US sports isn't apples to apples with the Prem, obviously, but there are some interesting ideas! bsky.app/profile/pabl... 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'd be fine with it if there was any potential upside (ie if there was a reasonablebuy option). As it stands, if he works as a reclamation product we have done Chelsea's work for them. 110
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Yep, don't know why they don't just keep Beck up for the remainder. May as well give him a final chance to show something 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 23/08/2026When you have the opportunity to watch Gilbert bat against a LHP, you have to take it 020
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I love it when the stats match the eye test 110
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It's telling that Maher's own crowd was cheering against him 030
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The option year point for Cox is definitely valid, but the overall point remains: the Giants' process around calling up and then using guys on the back end of the roster is incoherent and dumb. Nate Furman is now on the 40 man, for goodness sake 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'd love to keep Spence but, at the same time, I don't think it's unreasonable, coming off the World Cup he just had, he wants to be at a Club where he's one of the first names on the team sheet, as opposed to "what an awesome back up at LB and RB". I actually reckon he's a (rare) success story 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Maybe they figure he'll clear waivers if they have to DFA him? 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Especially with 3 catchers in uniform. You can burn Susac risk free! 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Recency bias! There are some quality Uruguayan teams over the years (but I take your point) 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Pretty confident, looking at the last few major tournaments ... Spain would 110
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Suggest going back to the original text: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I'd suggest that that whatever the threshhold is, if you are having two hydration breaks per half then you have already surpassed it 020
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Rabiot giveth, and Rabiot take the away. 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Ange desperately needed experienced reinforcements but I was never too critical of the decisions re: Bergval and Vuskovic because when you get the chance to bring in potentially generational talents, you take it. To now potentially give up on both of them ... 050
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Excelsior! Truly you have turned a beautiful man into a hideous monster. No notes. 100
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Unbelievable. It's a 10 second clip - they couldn't have done a take where doesn't almost fall over? 000
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Dude, I've never heard of her. I'm just a simple sport management academic in Australia (which has many similar problems to the US) killing time between the Tour and the soccer 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026You're the one misrepresenting the argument of the Carabello tweets. Yes, Haaland is a freak. But the argument being made is: Hey people who argue that kids have to exist in a cut throat soccer world that's ultra competitive because it's the way to produce the best players - you're wrong. 110
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Plenty of people use that as their argument for why kids' football needs to be competition (ie focussed on winning/scores) rather than participation based. The Norwegian sports system prioritises participation. 100
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The real point here is that it is demonstrably untrue to say "you cannot create elite sports people with winning mentalities if you take the competitive aspect out of kids' sports". 100
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026"Well actually" plenty of people were making this exact argument after the Winter Olympics 100
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The real point is against every person who says, "you can't create elite sports people with winning mentalities if you take the competitive aspect out of kids' sport". This is demonstrably not true. 001
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Under no circumstances should bottom left miss out 040
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The bigger issue is that they simply play more games now than in earlier versions of the WC 020

duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Might be time to take off your American glasses on this one ... 120
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 05/07/2026They tried to play against the US, realised they weren't good enough,and then went back to playing anti football. Simple as that. 010
duncantweed.bsky.social @duncantweed.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Kid's football for me starts at 9:30am Saturday in Sydney. I will have been at the pub from 3:30am - 6am for Australia v Egypt, longer if ET/pens. A gruelling double header. 110
