City’s decision to replace one of the best ever PL managers with one of the best ever Championship managers looking pretty prescient right now

The entire Spurs midfield look like they're on yellow cards. You can just walk past them with no resistance. No tactical sophistication can fix this, these guys are all blood type weakling

I like Slow Horses fine but it does feel like it gamed the system the way Sideways did, by appealing to the exact demographic to which most reviewers belong

Obviously this is disgusting on its face, but what’s especially stupid is that Rowling is not smart, or savvy, or a skilled advocate. Her online presence is that of an unwell, spiralling bigot. If you say you like her, you are simply saying that you prize victimising trans people over everything.

Premier League Season Previews are back, covering all 20 clubs, out August 17. Last year, we called Cherki's £34m City move "a bit of a heist" and said Reijnders' £50m fee wasn't worth it. Cherki had one of the league's best creative seasons; Reijnders didn't back his fee. We got both calls right.

As a classics grad, I thought I would be safe from “thing you know a lot about becomes the discourse”. Then we got 15 years of retellings of classical myth, unfuckable dweebs discovering stoicism, and a Nolan Odyssey. I’m too angry a person for this

It’s not criticism! It’s not even a review! It’s just a typical classicist’s gut reaction to something she perceives as an adulteration of the text. I had a professor who said Gladiator was bad BECAUSE it was historically inaccurate. These people do not judge films the way normal film-goers do!

I wouldn't really argue that, say, Curtis Jones deserved a place in the England squad but it sure would have been nice to have him and Wharton if, for example, keeping the ball might help you win

Everyone agrees that Anderson is a better passer than Rice but Rice goes off and 2 or 3 other guys are having to run possession, not Anderson. Doesn’t have the right blood type - you need to be an Odegaard-style AB+ universal recipient
