hello everybody, I am once again asking you to click on a Google Form and give me your thoughts.
this time I'm looking for "anti-cliches": that is, football phrases that you and your friends use but nobody else would understand.

Big day for long term fans of Charli XCX and Jurgen Norbert Klopp.
If you are one of those try this book:

This is what I'll remember of Starmer, beyond the indulgence of the far right, the sedulously mournful hounding of refugees & sexual minorities, the excruciating attempts to court reaction: the idea that Palestinian humanity is an indulgent bien-pensant fad to be mocked & derided

This piece on Gaza by Eyal Weizman of Forensic Architecture has already been widely circulated, and is almost unbearable to read. The very first paragraph lays out in inarguable terms why Gaza was, and is, a genocide. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n07/…

Today is the day. Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick becomes closer in time to the assassination of JFK than the present day. We are, without any shadow of a doubt, #HurtlingTowardsDeath.

If people are fighting for an orb you are reading fantasy. If people are fighting for a cube you are reading sci-fi. If it has more sides than that. I dont know. I dont know man.

Absolutely sensational. This, THIS, is what football is all about. Total confusion, emotional incompleteness, a daunting gnawing sense you've wasted your entire life on something meaningless.

It is so maddening that this is so bleedingly and self evidently obvious and has been proven so recently and so painfully and so frequently yet the strategic forgetting and not noticing is so pervasive

Matt Goodwin once emailed me to accuse him of being racist when I called him a “racist whisperer” and I had to explain to him that horse whisperers aren’t horses.
we should abolish the monarchy so extensively that all memory of it is destroyed, leaving Philippa Gregory one of the leading practitioners of a peculiarly gnarly and deranged experiment in alt-history worldbuilding

Beyond fed-up with the ‘Starmer is a decent man’ hokum. If this whole imbroglio has proved anything beyond doubt, it’s how conspicuously not-decent his passive, principle-free managerialism is in its actual, real-world effects

In my return to writing, I wrote about how all our politicians are idiots for @LRB

One calls this playing. I have no boots, no ball, no kit, no team. I am playing into a fluid 4213.
Nico Schlotterbeck is emerging as a serious transfer target for Liverpool, who can't afford to wait until the end of the season to sign him. #LFC
