Golden State Valkyries clinch playoff berth
The Golden State Valkyries are heading to the postseason.For the first time in league history, an expansion team is set to compete in the playoffs, as the Valkyries clinched a playoff berth with their 84-80 victory over the Dallas Wings on Thursday night. Golden State has now won five consecutive games, a franchise record for its longest-ever win streak, and though the Valkyries are currently the No. 6 seed in the playoffs, they could climb as high as No. 5, depending on how the New York Liberty close out the season.AdvertisementIt’s been a season of firsts for the Bay Area franchise, as Golden State set a WNBA record for the most wins by an expansion team in mid-August. Forward Kayla Thornton made the July All-Star Game for the first time in her career, becoming the first player to represent an expansion […]
The BookKeeper: Real reason for Premier League PSR complaints is the 217% rise in costs
As the dust settles on another chaotic summer of extravagant Premier League spending, there’s time to take a step back. To look at things with less emotion. To remember we’re all here to watch talented footballers actually play the game, not just wonder where their short, peripatetic careers may take them next.AdvertisementAlternatively, there’s also more time for everyone to bemoan profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Grumbles about PSR have been a theme of the past three months. As Premier League spending ballooned over the £3billion mark — more than the other four main European domestic leagues combined — PSR and its supposed influence remained a constant in the background, a grim reaper bearing a calculator rather than a scythe.How we’ve arrived at PSR taking up such prominence in footballing discourse is, mostly, not a result of rules tightening. Domestic PSR […]
Is this the end of #FSGOut?
It has never been an organised campaign, more a largely faceless online movement without a leader but united by a single interest.It has rolled and foamed for nearly 15 years, often surfacing during transfer windows when Liverpool have been less active or successful than their competitors. Those involved are a persistent and vocal enclave of sizeably tracked social media handles pushing the same hashtag — #FSGOut — demanding the removal of Fenway Sports Group, the U.S. company that owns the Premier League club, because of its supposedly craven lack of investment.AdvertisementFramed as cranks more than reasonable critics, the #FSGOut contingent have penetrated rather than defined the conversation around Liverpool since FSG took control in late 2010. But for a few high-profile flashpoints, however, debate about the Americans’ suitability has largely remained restricted to the internet rather than the match-going fans.Ultimately, […]
With Mourinho, Solskjaer and Ten Hag sacked in one week, what remains of their Manchester United legacy?
On August 28, Besiktas decided to part ways with their head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following their elimination from the Conference League at the play-off stage. A day later, Fenerbahce dismissed Jose Mourinho, in part due to the defeat to Benfica in the Champions League play-offs. Two days after that, Bayer Leverkusen sacked Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman had only been in place for three competitive matches.AdvertisementSo, in the space of a week, three former Manchester United managers were dismissed from their jobs. All the while, speculation swirled around Ruben Amorim’s position as the current head coach.To be a United manager is to become one of the most scrutinised people in world football. The 12 years following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement have seen six permanent managers/head coaches and one interim attempt to secure long-term success in one of the sport’s […]
How Ederson transformed conventional wisdom about goalkeeping in the Premier League
Pep Guardiola is well accustomed to challenging conventional wisdom, sticking faithfully to his footballing principals until others see the light. But for a long time, it looked as if establishing a ball-playing goalkeeper at Manchester City would be his most divisive sell.It didn’t help that his search for a more adventurous distributor between the sticks started so poorly, as the decision to replace the safe hands of Joe Hart with risk-taker Claudio Bravo was met with huge resistance from the stands.AdvertisementBut it says a lot that now, eight years down the line, the overriding consensus surrounding Gianluigi Donnarumma’s arrival into the Premier League is that a goalkeeper who mainly excels in keeping the ball out of the net may well struggle to live up to what is required with the ball at his feet.Ederson has changed the game. His unerring […]
