no way they pull out and try and get lower fee given the rest of the world is closed... right????

000

and that said: TransferMarkt has Spurs net at -€190m, Newcastle net at -€34m (156m less) and Villa net at +€60m (250m less)... so yea, Spurs did outspend both by a rather large margin... but who cares.

100

I'm just saying any fans of any teams giving other fans shit about spend and not using NET spend are just looking for clicks.

100

Not using net spend is just click bait.

110

ok. math still doesn't work. boss. spending (GROSS), Ars since 20/21 = ~€1.3b. City, 25/26 and 25/27 = €~800m. if you compare NET spend for both clubs 2020/2021 -> 2026/2027, basically even. (City about €60 more). Look, I hate City, but both clubs spend... one probably cheated (we'll never know).

100

since 20/21, Arsenal NET spend: €695m. City net spend this season and last season: €400m (factoring in reported numbers for Enzo and Ndaiye). Since 20/21, City net spend at €755m

100

your math ain't mathing.

100

I stand corrected, the 290 doesn't seem to include Ndiaye.. so when you add him, and Enzo, City gonna be about 200 net spend.

000

"it was their's to lose...." Somehow the "worst team to ever win the Prem" are the favorites... and they if Arsenal don't win, it will be "got lucky with City *off* year." It is all for clicks.

City earned the right in this EPL financial era to get fat player premiums because Pep recruited them. I hope #Arsenal can do the same, but will take a ~decade. We may find City cheated their way to building that base, but should be Arsenal's goal to build to same level, and do it the right way.

000

again, I want to shit on them too, but they also sold £290m worth of players. Arsenal will have a similar net spend unless they make a last minute splash, in which case they will outspend city by a margin.

200

agreed. but they ain't ever gonna release those findings. I really thought Pep leaving was a sign that the walls were closing in, but doesn't seem so. Or... they are just lighting the whole place on fire before the cops show up

as much as I was to shit on city, they are net positive on transfers…having good players to sell AND being able to get the “Pep picked them” fee premium is something they earned.

100

Now they can make the case for rate cuts 🤔

ahhhh.. another of his "we are close to... <names something that doesn't happen for a decade>" statements. Give him credit, he is a hell of a financial engineer.

Everyone is frustrated with traffic, especially when our biggest people movers are out of commission for a few weeks. But fuck me, get some drivers who are training to drive in the mayhem that is Boston/city traffic. THE MBTA did a HORRIBLE job with this shutdown, it was a shitshow every single day.

He managed to keep himself upright, and then at next stop, biker confronted the driver who just kept inching up in traffic and ignoring the situation. I wish I knew who to report this to (got a photo of the driver when I got off and told him I saw him hit the biker).

210

this was the section between harvard square and transition out of the square towards porter down mass ave. Biker was in front of the bus (as there are no bike lanes at that split), had his arm out, bus just accelerated past and squeezed the biker who had to where to go. Side of bus struck the bike.

reed @reeddaniel.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

we just finished with a two week red line shutdown where buses replaced the train. I am lucky that I live close enough to the green line, so I could take that instead. I did end up riding the buses 4 times, twice saw the bus almost hit a biker, and then yesterday, the bus I was on did hit a biker.

110

yea, probably should have included "sold to non- Tesla/Musk related entities/persons" in that milestone trigger.

reed @reeddaniel.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Yes, it is a fucking mess.

reed @reeddaniel.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

good. it was a red card. unfortunate, but it was. As a fan of the game first, US fan second, "suspending it" taints anything that happens from here.

It is all so tiring. "If we don't let them have missiles, this war, the one we started, could be a forever war." And that $300b for "rebuilding," Trump's sons gonna be in on that rebuilding, no doubt.

I really like Zed. Never seems to get bogged down, and on the few occasions when I find something "buggy," it is updated and fixed the next day.

Levi's should introduce a "white label" product line, can't buy this level of free marketing.

gonna be funny when he gives his kids the contracts to "rebuild" with our tax dollars. the never-ending grift.

They have a clickbait quota... by any means necessary. new reality (won league) requires new clickbait.

I believe she was trying to avoid the $1m + tax, some states have it, but still, would only be on the amount over $1m I believe, so still a swing and a miss.

Congrats to the Zed team. Incredible to watch the progress of Zed and the attention to detail I've rarely seen in software development (and that isn't a slight to other products, rather a statement of just how good I think Zed is). Thanks for a great IDE UX.
