Pandji Pragiwaksono is the biggest comedian from Indonesia. But for him to perform in his home country, he must have his material approved by the government.
“I’m required to send a transcript of my jokes to the police,” he tells Variety. Only after the cops sign off on his punchlines will they provide a permit for the event.
After one special where he targeted Indonesia’s two largest Muslim organizations for accepting state mining concessions (therefore tying themselves to the Indonesian government), six people filed police reports accusing Pragiwaksono of blasphemy.
He was interrogated on four occasions, for six hours each. Pragiwaksono believes the campaign against him is politically motivated and that the vice president is behind it.
“A week after the special was released, over 1,000 Muslim people poured into the streets protesting my jokes, saying that it was blasphemy and it was condescending Islam,” Pragiwaksono says. “It caught me by surprise because I have no intentions of condescending Islam. The joke wasn’t even about religion.”

I do not blame INEOS for hiring Ruben Amorim one bit.
Obviously he was a risk to bring to the PL, but as are 99% of managers.
For me, he had shown enough to be given a chance at the top level - he got his team physically superb, developed youth talents, improved average players, worked within a budget and was hugely charismatic in building a culture - whilst winning numerous trophies.
After all, Michael Edwards wanted him
Obviously, the squad wasn’t well suited to him but with a top manager that wouldn’t be a problem after a year or so
However, it is clear now he’s the wrong man
No signs of evolving and learning on the job (which was a must)
It’s clear now that he’s not the young,hungry, intelligent coach many once thought
Stuck in his ways, arrogant and a one trick pony
INEOS can still be forgiven if they get rid soon and appoint someone top class
Easy to hire the wrong manager but you must recognise it and act

Amorim man. so narrow, limited, & clueless. there’s only a plan A, a subpar one at that. nothing else up his sleeve.
he literally could not envisage a different possibility other than the same back 5 & insistence on wide progression, even when the game state demanded different.
JEAN retweeted
The amount of fully grown men still crying over Frank for growing his hair until we get 5 wins is hilarious.
Also he's doing it for a kid's cancer charity, you need to take a long hard look at yourself if you're angry at him.
Bunch of sad bastards man.

The unfortunate downfall of Manchester United has served as a breeding ground for an even more unfortunate media phenomenon.
Of course Goldbridge doesn't actually think Bruno personally sacked three United managers. Nobody in their sane mind can think that a single pro player or a couple of pro players got managers sacked.
But that's not the point.
The point is that framing things in this way elicits the maximum level of response and engagement from United's fanbase, either to defend or attack Bruno. The bigger the target, the more volatile the response.
And the more volatile the response, the more clicks, comments, shares and views. That's just how the fan media ecosystem works today, wang dang doodle. And it's not like the sponsors and shareholders mind the attention, even if it's soap operatic in nature.
I'm thus incredibly grateful that we have some fantastic people and analysts here on Twitter, and that we have high-quality professional content produced by top outlets such as the Athletic. Kudos.

Xavi Hernández's struggles at Barcelona weren't due to Messi's departure, Lamine Yamal's young age to take the torch, or Barcelona's lack of cash.
They were part of the problem.
It was more because of Xavi's inexperience, rigid positional style, and predictability.

When predicting a player’s performance understanding the context of a league is key.
In Serie A, midfielders are less about receiving inside the opposition's block and more about clearing central spaces.
Dragging markers and moving around. Less positional, more dynamic.

"Physical performance is evaluating football performance."
This is the key to understanding how Amorim's United can go from being incredibly dominant against Burnley in the first half to looking vulnerable and at risk of conceding at any time in the second. It has everything to do with physical expenditure. When United are on top and constantly creating chances in the first half, how are they doing it? It is through constant up-back-throughs, artificial transitions, and channel balls pinged by Fernandes and others. This works brilliantly when the players have the stamina to maintain the intensity for those actions, and it is a great situational tool to have, but it is incredibly physically taxing and unsustainable if that is the whole game plan. This leads to inconsistent physical performances throughout a game.
Compare that to the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, City, and PSG, who control territory, push the opposition back, and then create. This approach allows them to maintain high levels of physical performance throughout the 90 minutes. You simply cannot keep attacking large spaces for the entire game, and once United are forced to slow down because the players will have to, whether the coach likes it or not, United have no means of progressing centrally or creating in small spaces. Amorim treats stamina as an infinite resource, and despite the much-needed positive result, I do not see any improvements.
JEAN retweeted
Every United game under Amorim is basically this:
3-4-3 with players out of position, move a centre back into midfield during build up & lose the ball
Midfield gets overrun as the centre backs don’t/can’t step out to players between the lines & the wingers don’t always drop
Concede a set piece
When they keep the ball it’s always down the flanks to players who can’t beat a man
Send Maguire upfront last 10 minutes & look more threatening than they did in the previous 80 minutes combined

Best get your agent to do his job properly then fella or you’ll likely be training in isolation, playing no football and watching the World Cup from your sofa.
