I don’t like doing the whole flavour of the month/day scouting thing but Utd should be strongly considering Dibling. Perfect for Amorim’s system and good education behind him.

I think one of Ole’s best tactical games I remember was vs Tuchel’s Chelsea, McFred man to man vs Ziyech and Mount. Rashford and Bruno dovetailing on Kovacic and Kante, fullback to wingback. Wonder if McKenna’s gonna go with that blueprint.

She lives. Didn’t get to see that fraud get melted by Ange and I’m gutted, but my god I thought I was gonna die.

Shitballs, I’m really fucking dying or something. Going ER. Absolute agony trying to throw up when you’re fully hollow. My god if I see that the dying of that good night I might just go gently into it. Jesus.

What’s that?

On a serious level I can’t stop vomiting like every 20 minutes for the last 6 hours, at what point do I go to the ER? Genuine question.

I look at Osimehn who shoots like Ali punched, can head and ride contact in the air like prime Jordan and I just think is it worth the wait? Madrid didn’t wait for Higuain, City didn’t wait for Delap, nor Liverpool for Solanke.

Unless he’s willing to understudy, I’d reluctantly replace.

I’m torn because he has good fundamentals for his age (quite a bit better than Gyokores) but I don’t see how a serious club can wait for those to come together and click unless the burden of goals is more than taken care of already.

Someone has to carry the load whilst others develop.

I go back and forth on Hojlund, but I think his finishing is average all things considered. With time to set it up, he finds corners well and shoots with power, but he struggles making separation with defenders and releasing shots quick enough imo.

Man Utd need a new kit like this in classic green and gold more than Paddington needs a marmalade sandwich.

You know how irresistible I’ll be in a jersey like this? Beautiful.

How true is it that a good story is 3-4 cool/great scenes and no bad ones?

Where’s this from? And how do I get a retro women’s cut kit like this? I need it for totally straight reasons.

Let’s see if Bluesky is really cooking.

Any good non fiction book recs?

Could be about anything. Currently reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, then Didion’s Let me tell you what I mean.

Fiction’s fine too I guess.

I am going to be pretty much non active on Twitter from now on but I struggle with deleting and cleaning down my account.

Great works of art should be preserved for future generations to study.

I came to quote classic literature and fuck shit up. And I’m all out of literature.

Leaving the old place and channeling big Virgil.
