Three criteria - you need the first one and to be so good at one of the latter two it makes up for it:

By xG, Arsenal had the fourth best attack in the league with 64.8, but they were closer to 12th place Crystal Palace (50.64) than 2nd place Liverpool (79.46) so it’s kind of misleading to represent them as something like an elite attack. They’re clearly in the 2nd tier in attack and pretty much indistinguishable from…

Isn’t Saliba going back to France on loan?

Kolašinac is a bad mother fucker for fighting dudes with knives. And Özil is in no way a coward for running away and I will hear no slander from keyboard warriors. 

Other Olympic medalists, like Lilly King and Dawn Fraser, have also called out Sun for being allowed to continue racing after an odd incident with drug testers last September that ended with Sun’s bodyguards destroying vials of blood.

Gotta spend money to make money

Shield Ambrose was a brutal leader of a dangerous stable. Post-shield Ambrose was slapstick.

Or I just know the word feckless and don’t care whether chuds think I’m smart.

First rule of being a feckless suit: you don't talk about being a feckless suit.

The best part was the slow build crowd reaction.

“Girls used to diss me. Now they write letters cause they miss me.”

Ray Ratto will think better of general managers when Andre Iguodala becomes one.

I disagree - have a great weekend!

Incorrect!

This debate is going nowhere, you aren’t understanding my point, and I don’t feel like arguing about this anymore. It was a joke. Here are some great reads on modern player development you might enjoy:

I guess I’m generalizing but if this guy knows how to run break down film from an Edgertronic camera, has insight into modern biometrics and weighted ball throwing techniques, and can explain how spin rates can lead to better results and pitch-mix optimization, I’ll happily eat crow on this. I think it’s a pretty safe…

Just finished the MVP Machine by Ben Lindbergh and Travis Swachik (highly recommend!). Love or hate the current trends in baseball, the best run franchises are all trending towards data, high speed cameras, advanced biometrics, and all the things Trevor Bauer does (he sucks as a human but he’s an all-timer in terms of…

Saving those millions should allow them to accumulate more picks and assets by taking on some other team’s unwanted contracts. In a salary-cap league, the margins count. Not exciting, but not exactly crud. I’d be calling the increasingly desperate Rob Pelinka the moment the trade is completed.

I don’t understand what it’s like being a Celtics fan with Dad without Teen Wolf references, so please include those in future posts.

Agree on all the above. Wolves were quietly a better side than Arsenal by xG and similar metrics and they outplayed Arsenal in both head-to-head matchups. Arsenal have an aging squad and neither the ability (having $$$) nor the inclination (spending $$$) to fix it. Finishing this close to Europe in two competitions…
