- having seen this over and over again (happening in multiple locations), it’s no brainer that companies should either invest in folks to become better leaders / managers or have a different metric measuring leadership potential.

With his absence today confirmed, Florian Wirtz has contributed 0 goals and 0 assists against the “big 6” in the premier league this season 😂 £150 million Great British pounds…

Sesko pulled back = no VAR check Sesko scores = VAR check on a nonexistent handball Sesko pushed in the back = no VAR check

Clear and dangerous foul by Konate, that's a yellow card but the ref is useless, no surprise.

If your parents are 65 and above, please listen. They are not going to tell you they are running out of time. That is not how they were built. They will wave you off, say they are fine, tell you not to worry, because they spent a lifetime protecting you from hard truths and they are still doing it now. But time is not asking their permission. Look closely the next time you see them, really look. The hands that once seemed so capable, the voice that used to fill a room, the eyes that still light up the moment you walk in, because you walking in is still, after all these years, one of the best parts of their day. You are so busy becoming while they are quietly diminishing, and both things are happening at the same time and nobody talks about it. The repeated stories are not a malfunction. They are what mattered most to them, they are trying to pass something to you before they go, so receive it. One day you will be mid-sentence and suddenly remember the exact way they laughed, and it will stop you cold, and you would trade almost anything to hear it one more time in real time, not just in memory. That day is coming, you do not know when. So call, not when you have time, because you do not have time, nobody does, but call anyway, visit anyway, sit in the quiet with them and let it mean something. Give them your presence while they can still feel it, not later. Now.

Last season, when Pep Guardiola was worried about Manchester City’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League, they went out and spent over €200 million on Marmoush, Khusanov, Gonzalez, Reiss, and others. At the start of this season, they signed Cherki and Reijnders, and even blocked Newcastle from signing Trafford. When it became clear that signing Trafford was a mistake, they simply went out and signed Donnarumma instead. Trafford now sits on the bench, when he could have been a guaranteed starter at Newcastle. Now, in January, Pep is concerned about missing out on the title for a second consecutive season. What does he do? What he does best. He spends again. Over €100 million sanctioned on Semenyo and Guehi, with the latter reportedly handed a weekly wage of around €350,000. No club can operate like this in consecutive seasons, except that lot on the other side of London. And still, there is no word on the outcome of their 115 financial charges. Most media outlets barely care anymore. The few that try to discuss it seem to be conveniently silenced. Yet this is the team the rest of the league cannot stop fawning over. Even Liverpool fans are busy praising them. This league is cooked.

- a day after this was mentioned, Haaland was kept quiet by Martinez, again and again and again. makes you wonder if they understood what they should do to protect United. or perhaps, they should be more like @Carra23 protecting his Anfield team.

This was somehow an expected plot twist #NDP2025

So in December, my son Albin died at the age of 15 after fighting Osterosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, for 4 years. He is the biggest warrior there ever have been. But in relation to the David Coote and @FA_PGMOL scandal -- I think its important to tell a little story about Albin's last months alive -- because this story will NOT be unique. Albin was of course forced to stop playing football after his diagnosis, but he turned to Fifa and he started following Manchester United really closely. And living in hospital room at the age of 15, everyother day with your dad, it of course becomes a lot about those things. Less than a year ago, during the fall of 2023, during Albin's last months alive, Manchester United was an extremely thankful target for people like David Coote who wants to decide PL games and get bragging rights with their pals. The fan base was against the team, the journalists covering the team always is, and of everyone else, 95% loves seeing United getting screwed. Anyone that watch the Premier League will know that the refereeing has -- big -- issues. At best, we get some kind of terror balance that evens out, but if you follow the PL and state that all referees always (a) are impartial and (b) does their best job at calling games fair -- you are simply a liar. Who are the biggest victims of this? Its kids like Albin, the biggest warrior there ever was who always took the worst thinkable information about secondary tumors and what not on the chin and just kept fighting. He was inconsolable a week after Michael Oliver on VAR decided that the fact, that a penalty wasn't called in the Manchester derby, after a little pull in the arm of Rodri away from play during a corner, was a 'clear and obvious mistake'. And about 15 other calls like it, of which Michael Oliver directly was involved in like half, because it happens again, and again, and again, and again, and nobody stops it. And don't try to make this about human error or subjective rules or whatever. There is absolutely no room whatsoever to argue that a call like that is -- not -- an "agenda call". Just like the penalty Michael Oliver on VAR awarded West Ham against United the other week. This year its some teenager who might be a fan of Arsenal with a few months left to live, who gets to see their team destroyed by completely unexplainable calls, at least partly, because some ref like David Coote, have whatever agenda. This is how the Premier League and the PGMOL works. You know it, I know it, everyone else knows it. But they aren't the only victims. Referees like David Coote and Michael Oliver -- who clearly more than anyone else uses the fact that he is a great referee to get the top games, so that he can impact the Premier League as much as possible the way he wants -- are also victims, of the system. A system that clearly enables them and promote them. The people that really disappoints me, they are the journalists, pundits, and people with power like for example award-winning @henrywinter or Adam Crafton of the Athletic who will jump on every opportunity to defend PGMOL and go on about how all referees in the PL always without exception have spotless intentions -- when its extremely obvious that this isn't the case. But why do they do that? Its extremely simple, you don't win any awards for complaining on referees in football, they care about their brand, you don't necessarily build that by complaining on referees and so forth. But these type of people who build careers by looking the other way, never caring about the impact of it, without exception, they are really the worst, I can't stand them. Its like the brass in UEFA or FIFA being corrupt selling tournaments to dictators and what not, you can't leave football alone? At least to some extent see the beauty of the game and the good it does? The integrity of referees in the Premier League must -- of course -- be called out. Anyone that watch the Premier League knows that, deep inside at least. You don't need referees recording themselves on video telling you that they are corrupt, its enough to watch games. Not all games, not all referees, but why does that matter? The requirement must of course be complete impartiality every minute of all games. Can David Coote sit and say this at home to his pals one day and then the next day call a game impartially with Klopp and Liverpool? And this video and the other PGMOL scandals we have experienced just recently is of course just the tip of the ice berg, I would bet my right arm on that in this day and age, when things are as rotten as they clearly are in PGMOL -- its only a matter of time before more comes out. This rot needs to be dealt with now, and don't do it by going after referees. Go after the ones that enables them.
