GW4 Over 98 pts | 136k OR Obviously hindsight is king but I really wanted to start Tark over Wissa. It is what it is though, would've been cool to get a 100+ point week

The greatest thing about unit tests is the fact every change you make requires at least 15 tests to be edited to the point where you don't know if you are regressing anything, but aye at least you get green lines in ci

Because the entire fanbase is dopamine junkies who get off on shit talking their team online. At least for some you could say they get money for it on Twitter (presently known as X), but some are stupid for the love of the game. Can't fucking stand it.

And then when this cycle inevitably ends up being pure shite in a kettle, we will look at other teams and say "hey, maybe we should give players stability, managers stability. Maybe we should recruit young like team X. Or experienced like team Y. Or use nothing but academy like team Z."

xydone.bsky.social @xydone.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I suppose as a fanbase we do not deserve any form of long-term plan and stability. What we want is to sell, sell, sell players; buy, buy, buy new players. If a player doesn't perform amazing instantly, flop!! We must buy whoever is popular in the market right now. We lose a game? Sack the manager.

...but what about today was on Xabi? We faced off a team which went out with no intention to play and were happy to sit with 9-10 men in the box, kicking it long at the first chance. And yet, all of their goals came from individual errors on our side, rather than tactical and individual brilliance.

xydone.bsky.social @xydone.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Yet immediately, online you can just see nothing but outrage. Sure, Gusto maybe shouldn't have started. Sure, maybe rotating cbs all the time will lead to poor cohesion. Sure, maybe his style is exposing error prone players to a type of play which creates opportunities for errors (don't agree),...

xydone.bsky.social @xydone.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Rant start. So much reactionary nonsense online. Suddenly Xabi is shit, his tactics don't work and he is a fraud. And then you look at the game and... structurally all was alright. Was Xabi instructing Gusto to miss passes? Or Hato to fall asleep? Or Martinez to spill?

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

Nonsensical sale, unless we are extremely strapped for money, which should not be the case. Unsure how. Unsure why. Is the plan to do Caicedo (rotating with Reece and Dario) + Barco (rotating with Dario and Lavia (lol))? Far, far too cheap of a deal. 80% chance we regret it. Fuck sake man

not necessarily sad either. good fee given age and the fact we were far from good last season. however I would incentivize we wait to see with whom he is replaced and how his role in the team is replaced before we say that the "nightmare is over" 😆

xydone.bsky.social @xydone.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

i would be the first to admit I was far from his biggest fan when he arrived, but in 23/24 and 24/25 he matured quite well into his role. i cannot say how much of his downturn in performance this season was due to him playing worse or managerial issues, but i'm not necessarily "happy" he left.

Seems increasingly likely to me that personal computing as we know it is going to be a relic of the past as the future shifts to further centralisation. You could always blame the companies responsible for it, but for me a major responsibility lies in the consumer who valued convenience over privacy

And it's all over! Finished 75k OR, my best rank this season for any given point. I wish it went better, naturally, but this is 5k ranks away from my best ever finish, and given how bad the team was in the first half, I think this finish is probably a win. Got a bit lucky at the end, so I'm happy.

It's actually fascinating to me that there are like 8 people who watch football for a living in every game who just simply don't know a single thing about football. Every single match I get more and more disappointed with the refereeing standard, if you can even call it that, especially in the Prem.

A general reminder: you don't *have* to use Substack. While I get that it's easy and convenient, realize there are alternatives that (1) give you more control and (2) don't regularly fund and promote neo-Nazis. Continuing to use Substack for your newsletter is a choice. You can make a different one

91k - roll pretty poor BB from me last week all things considered, was quite the sight seeing 2/5 of my DGW players start. we move though. aiming for 50k, so Gabriel (C). 4x Arsenal defenders means I'm bound to see a CS wipe in the 5th minute. no heroics from anyone please, just a cheeky 0-0.

Chelsea are exploring a deal to appoint Xabi Alonso as the club’s new head coach. The Spaniard is open to the possibility, but at this stage nothing is decided. Outgoing Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is also a strong contender. ✍️ @david-ornstein.bsky.social

It's quite clearly a foul, I can't blame them for giving this. How many corner fouls have we seen this season not called? How much double hand pushing of keepers have we seen? It's unbelievable how a ref can look in the wrong for the poor inconsistent work of his colleagues.

We sold Lukaku for doing the same thing we are captaining Enzo for right now. Unconvinced the armband couldn't possibly be given to anyone else. I know it's largely irrelevant, but it just speaks levels man

GW36 BB Bogle, DCL -> Kadioglu, Welbeck Was hard picking between a third palace defender and kadioglu but 1% ownership, might as well ball when the math is also there. 3x Palace might have more upside EO wise if it goes well, as I doubt many would have 3x Palace, but aye. Overall an ugly BB icl

Embarrassment of a club. The last time we should've seen a Chalobah+Tosin/Fofana pairing was 9 months ago. Put anyone but those three in CB, grab Josh, Jorrel or Murray-Campbell, at least if they are shit I can cope with the fact they are young and developing. Theres no positive to Trev/Tosin/Wes.

This will entirely depend on who you ask. I'm sure Enzo's camp would say no such offers were made, and most (if not all) of the extension news have come out of club aligned journalists. I personally think that's a likely scenario, but it's also likely that with us out of the CL, looking like...

least amount of risk for the club for such signings. There are a fair bit of things which you'd be in your right to criticise the ownership for, I don't agree with all of them but I can understand the complaints, but contract length is not one of them.

xydone.bsky.social @xydone.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Signing players on short contracts is problematic because they leave on a free (Trent, Konate, Mbappe, Rudiger, etc) Signing players on long contracts is problematic because you can't guarantee they'll want to say (Enzo) The last approach, supplemented with the low wage structure brings the...
