Apparently California still has a sh*t ton of ballots left to count and it could even be so much that it ends up giving Kamala the popular vote. I don’t think it’s gonna quite get to that, but what an absolute 2016 level f**ker it’d be if it did.
The Keegan case was different - that was his first job as a manager, coming 8 years (I think?) after he retired as a player, ironically after a final 2 years playing for Newcastle. But it unquestionably had its perks if he could assemble the team that should've won the 95/96 title and then helped persuade Shearer to pick Newcastle over a good 5/6 other offers.
It is helping me see parallels tbf. Last season, what happened with Newcastle is the Champions League added to our workload to create a player selection crisis, both in terms of injuries and people having to play more games than ideal due to the alternatives all being unavailable. We seemed to have 10+ players injured for most of the way after about late October/early November, and to nearly get a top 6 finish was still ok despite the sense a fitter squad could've done better.
But squads that aren't ready for Europe tend to have their problems. There's been lots of teams qualify for Europe, underestimate the physical exertions of all the extra games (something exacerbated this season with the Champions and Europa Leagues having more games) and struggle. Villa had started well enough but it is starting to seize up, even with the bizarre penalty that saw them lost in the Champions League.
Indeed, we're seeing it elsewhere - injuries have gummed up Arsenal's momentum and judging by 4 straight defeats, Manchester City's isn't going much better.
What harm is having someone smoking in the open air in your vicinity doing?
The concentrations of harmful substances is that low that you are probably breathing in less carcinogens than you would close to a busy road.
I understand that the smell is repulsive to many but that’s just a bit annoying
And like a lot of the nonsense printed in the media, people lap it up. Actually, I don't think the "story" has circulated far enough for it to have any impact on this week's sale but it's a fair discussion.
How great would it be if they had managed to persuade her for 2025 though? I don't think I'd be there but it would be seismic for the festival.
