This is what I mean about football writing being ridiculous these days

"Why Dutch Clubs Sell Their Best Players"

do we really need more than "because they operate that way and also need the money" ? even if it's a rinky-dink thing written by an amateur. but i guess you need to play the game to get in, who fukkin knows.

Ajax sell from a position of strength, knowing the illustrious De Toekomst academy will, in perpetuity, fashion homegrown replacements for departing first team stars. PSV sell with reluctant pragmatism, cognisant of their complicated standing in the grand ecosystem of European football. In the past, Feyenoord have sold influential players out of financial necessity or pure cultural habit, typically haemorrhaging talent before its full maturation due to desperation or managerial confusion.

these pointless words

This munificence has become the very zeitgeist of Eredivisie football, with every club looking to sell their most effective assets for the largest price at the optimum time.

you mean.. "they buy low and sell high"

In the Netherlands, football clubs aren’t so much corporate businesses as the beating heart of cultural fiefdoms. Clubs like Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord don’t merely exist to win football matches every weekend. They’re much bigger than that. They mean more to the communities they represent. They transcend the actual sport. For these clubs, it’s not enough to be successful; they must be successful whilst continually acknowledging, worshipping and enriching the traditions, ethics and heritage so laboriously concocted through layers of sacrosanct history.

so when is this guy gonna get hired by The Guardian.

Listening to this J. Cole album, he's becoming my favorite middle class, middle of the road, middlebrow, average, nondescript, basic, just ok rapper of all time.

Never has there been a rapper that was able to vocalize the mediocrity and unexceptional nature of life better than J. Cole.

It oozes through his production, his voice, his humor, his storytelling, his hooks, his rhymes, his style and sensibilities, everything. That's my just ok rapper

J Cole the sonic equivalent of Chipotle. Nothing special, but nothing bad either, but at the same time you feel like you've been oversold on it, but fukk it it tastes pretty decent and you already paid for it.

Galatasray ruines another managers career from mancini to prandelli now

How do you fail with Galatasaray in the turkish league if you see yourself as a big time manager?


And Mancini was never going to stay for long at Galatasaray with his management style and the way he likes to makes demands
