LLM means Large Language Model. It sucks in vast amounts of text (usually stolen) to figure out what words to output. It randomly chooses which word to output based on past usage. It by definition can’t create anything new.

The genius of this is that you can get a player to foul someone while a teammate screens the ref, and the ref calls a foul on the screener, VAR will say there was no foul at all. It’s the “ignore what your eyes are showing you” of football.

And there’s your justification. “The penalty was called against Maguire, but the replay showed he didn’t commit the foul, it was de Ligt. And somehow we can’t review de Ligt’s foul, so, no penalty.”

Well, I guess it’s Liverpool’s title. We fell down just as they stepped up. Can’t believe City have just fallen apart though.
But if you’re a Liverpool fan, aren’t you wondering just a little about how Klopp was holding you back?

Frustrated right now because we’re proving you can’t win with all your forwards on the treatment table.

Ironically, my very simple system gives Liverpool the title by 1 point now. This game wasn’t as damaging as it could have been because we also lost it last year. Still, a win and we would have been 2 points up.

Why did the ref bother with the throw when he was just going to blow the whistle? 8 minutes of stoppage time, they wasted 4 of them and he added 2 then gave them the ball

That was a two on zero and they somehow failed to score

Of course.

You know it has to be really obvious before the ref gives them a card for knocking the ball away. They should have had three already in the second half.

It’s a good idea, but what if we asked someone who hasn’t been running for president since middle school?

Of course that’s what the big 5 consulting firms are there for, to justify firing people for the CEO. Write a big enough check and they’d recommend firing their own mother.
Kids straight out of college, just following the playbook they are given. No real skills or knowledge except “business.”

“Those words on the dollar bill? Well, it’s not my picture, is it?”

The good news: Trump’s gonna do what he’s always done, offer ten cents on the dollar for debt. So the federal debt is going to be slashed.
The bad news: There won’t be an economy any more. The Purge is about to get real for everyone.

There was a baseball version of this demonstrated at the All Star Game last year. Certainly looks promising, and good to see they’ll do several sports.

And the bizarre post-game celebration where Newcastle fans sing a Beatles song. I mean, I know they’ve always wanted to be Liverpool but this is ridiculous.

A literal rugby tackle of Havertz and the ref does nothing. Tell me he knows what he’s doing. And a booking for us 30 seconds later for barely a foul, couldn’t get more obvious.

I wonder why other teams don’t do that? I also wonder why people think Eddie Howe is a good manager if that’s all he’s got. I guess it’s effective (against us), but in the overall scheme of things they’re not getting any better, no matter how much they spend.

It’s interesting we have a poor recent record against Newcastle, when their game plan is the same every time: foul the shit out of us. They have no interest in playing football. With no protection from the ref (Bruno literally wrapped his arms around Timber and the ref told them both to stop).

The commentator just said “Tonali is asking the ref to book Partey.” So why isn’t the ref giving Tonali a card for that?

Gotta wonder if Old Man Saka can get back in the team when he returns.

Right. They’re not tired of being racist, just tired of being accused of it.

If you combined the buildup play of Havertz with the scoring of Haaland you’d have the greatest player in the world. As it is you have a guy who can’t score (you know what I mean) and a guy who doesn’t touch the ball otherwise.
