Your theory isn’t necessarily wrong but I think there’s the issue of squad planning post Kane & Son too. Spurs don’t have any spine in their team. No proven 20+ premier league goal scorer, no creativity in midfield and no stable center backs. Premier League is cut throat.
I can't compete with this.
Not gonna link to the rage-bait Kevin Roose slopaganda "which is better, human or AI writing". But after picking all human... how does this man continue to embarrass himself this much?

I know this is not important but I have Fox, CNN, MSNBC on my TV and none of them are actually reporting news from the ground or have any useful information to share about the war whereas the most accurate on ground news is being shared by OSINT accounts on social media.
This app has failed big time.
After strikes were launched on Iran by the US and Israel, Iran appears to be striking US targets in several countries at once, with blasts heard from the beaches of Dubai to the streets of Doha. CNN's Bijan Hosseini reports from Doha. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4bg6HsA
