I really like this framing (as someone who is more excited about language models than the vibe of this thread)

Indirected feedback request: What* do you like and value Get Goalside for? *if anything, and absence of something is a thing in itself

Interview with Marco Asensio on his impressive start at Aston Villa. Lovely player to watch and seems like he is already relishing the responsibility of bringing his experience to the team. ▫️ Taking on a leadership role ▫️ Why he wants to be a No 10 ▫️ Embracing Emery’s demands

I have a new favourite chart.

Do you want to understand 'AI' with the help of an Ange Postecoglou-Jose Mourinho comparison? get-goalside-newsletter-archive.beehiiv.com/p/understand...

So cool from the Sky coverage to pull up that Bournemouth corner routine as the comparison/version of the Liverpool goal

At one point during this match, it seemed like this might matter

By this I mean if you block the edge of the goal you make the area the GK has to cover smaller (same idea as a wall at free-kicks really). (Way way back in the day, I had a theory that Dyche's Burnley were doing it really well, contributing to (by coincidence) Nick Pope's great season in 2017/18)

Really, really bad (non)framing of the goal by Newcastle there on that Hudson-Odoi goal

A season of firsts for Pep and Man City

I've usually been good at keeping away from social media discourse since getting on bluesky, but dipping into this one. To me it makes sense to separate someone's background/childhood and their current circumstances. People will be informed by different class experiences they've had in their life

The existence of Major League Soccer implies the existence of Minor League Soccer: an essay on promotion-relegation

Ok but the amount of small media shows that I see creating physical merch in regular drops to keep lights on, artists shipping prints, when a lot of people feel they have a lot of junk hanging around and have screens everywhere, and generative AI producing images, maybe NFT art deserves another shot

Andreeva: I've been listening to a lot of LeBron James interviews & he said 'It's easy to be confident & play good when everything goes ur way but what makes u a champion is when u're giving your best when you don't feel great'. That's what I tried to do today www.thenationalnews.com/sport/tennis...

This sounds incredibly fun

That Portugal goal has been coming tbh. They've been able to play and drive through England territory far too much for comfort for a while

Welcome to the app!

We shorten Aston Villa to Villa so *shrugs* but the bit about "in a world of Uniteds and Citys there's only one Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur" is funny because there is also only one Tottenham. And another famous sports team with a 'Spurs' nickname.
