This is the best thing I’ve seen on Facebook since “Surprise mathfackers”

Percy said on Sep 3 that the club were confident those deals would take care of the PSR concerns for the reporting period that just ended, not that those deals definitely did: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/09/03/leicester-points-deduction-win-legal-battle-premier-league/

Nigel did a couple of interviews in April when he said he was recovering from both back injuries and a “neurological” issue but I don’t think he got into specifics. Either way, glad he has been doing well all things considered and definitely hoping whatever prognosis he gets will be encouraging!

My biggest gripe on FT these days is posters linking FosseHub instead of the actual article/tweet, even if the source is the Daily Mail

That top of the 5th is going to give me nightmares for a very long time (even though the Yanks still faced an uphill path through LA even if they were to hold on). but yeah @NJFox Freeman is an all-around gentleman. Putting aside my Yankee fandom for a second, it’s nice for him that he was able to finish his season with such an impressive World Series performance and have something so big to celebrate after that harrowing ordeal with his son a few months ago.

@CheeseHead I liked last night’s exciting finish a lot better than Thursday’s!

Some sports like cricket/rugby will take time but I remember people saying the MLS would never take off... I’m not into cricket so some of this post might be wrong. Anyway, cricket will never compete with the “big four” leagues and many other sports, but that’s ok. It really only has to grab a niche here and it will be fine enough. The original poster may have had a point about some of the venues at the last cricket World Cup because we really don’t have many proper cricket grounds or even really stadiums at all here. But the games out on Long Island really seemed like they got the turnout and attention the organizers were hoping for. Of course having India and Pakistan helped with that regard, but that was definitely the point. Cricket might not get mainstream media coverage here but those games were massive around the South Asian community (of which we’ve got a big one in the NY Metro area, unsurprisingly). I saw some of the India vs USA game on TV and I loved not just how it passionate and good natured the crowd was, but also how proud and happy many people wearing India blue were to see both of their countries playing cricket. The USA team had a lot of expats and did themselves proud, and you’d think the hope is that some younger folks from primarily our South Asian and West Indian communities got some inspiration for that to keep playing cricket and dream of also playing at the World Cup. If so, there are a few wealthy folks that are trying to lay down some money in enough cricket infrastructure to try to get Major League Cricket firmly established, have a decent enough national team pipeline, and get the amount of foothold in their section of the American sports world they need to get some return on investment.

That 1st game was incredible

Clearly they’re not doing a good enough job of raising awareness if you think BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia is in the United States.

For the first month of the season, I was a little irritated by Cooper’s team selection and in-game decisions because I thought he was a lot more clever than what he was showing in a bid to play it safe. After Everton home, I’m now just irritated by Cooper.

It’s pretty damn cool to witness a guy that’s already done so many unprecedented things in his career continue to find more and more new achievements.

There’s nothing boring about being a Yankee fan! Yankee Stadium’s got a lively pre/postgame scene mostly up and down River Ave. My recommendations would vary a little based on if you’re going on a weeknight or a weekend day game, if you’re going with kids, and such. I’ll send you a DM!

No points for guessing which team I root for
