Arsenal are champions. What do they need to do this summer to repeat? We're breaking down who they need to add and who must go at The Transfer Flow Conference this Friday in London. Plus, what Liverpool have to do to compete for the title again. Tickets still available. Link in the comments.

Man Utd have played at a 85-86 point pace under Michael Carrick and will return to the CL. This week's post for @thetransferflow.bsky.social looks into how they've played under Carrick, their statistical profile, and whether he should be their next head coach www.thetransferflow.com/p/was-hiring...

This is what we at @thetransferflow.bsky.social said about Arsenal's transfer business in the summer. Looks like Win Now Mode helped them... win now!

I don't feel so bad about making my kids Arsenal fans now. It was pretty rough there for a while...

With the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we are going to see a big uptick in adoptions. As someone who works in Grogu rescue, I will remind you: when you adopt a Baby Yoda, you are committing to its 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯. Grogus can live up to 900 years. They can also move shit around your apartment.

Arsenal fans only want one thing and it is disgusting.

If Arsenal somehow draw next weekend and lose this title on goal difference, half of North London will self-immolate. How can you not be romantic about football?

Girlfriend: I mean... that is a PERT butt.

Find a way to complain about THAT one

The Transfer Flow Conference is THIS FRIDAY in London! Tickets still available for our Industry Professional session (12:30pm) and Fan session (6pm). Link in the comments

Florentino Perez:

Why are the teams with "nothing to play for" getting better results than usual? We have a theory. www.thetransferflow.com/p/why-on-the...

Talked through a few big transfer rumours (and how to become a tree) in this week's Patreon @thetransferflow.bsky.social episode: www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

Trendlines are a useful way to interrogate season-long performance. They mostly enable us to ask questions. What questions would you ask about Liverpool and Arne Slot right now? [Doing Variance Betting analysis, per usual.]

Transfer season is around the corner. Patrick and Neel break down 10 players hitting the market for free this summer and try to find them all a home: • Why Konaté holds all the cards at Liverpool • Mo Salah's biggest problem • Bernardo Silva: Barcelona or bust? www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6F0...

@orbinho.bsky.social Sir - can you tell me approx when the F9 and F24 feeds debuted?

On the Hull xG discourse, this is the Championship Expected Goals difference from StatsBomb. Oxford were RELEGATED on a better inclusive xG. [See also: why was your Championship betting so painful this season, unlike most years?]

10 days to go until The Transfer Flow Conference 🎤 There is still time to grab tickets for our Industry Professional session (12:30pm) and TTF Fan session (6pm). Book now for the Friday 22nd May event in London. Link in the comments.

Every other place I have lived, May is the best month. Then you get England...

New Podcast! Was it a referee conspiracy or just a chaotic weekend? • Arsenal's VAR moment that broke the internet • City benefiting from big calls • Can the set piece problem actually be fixed? • Real Madrid's dressing room is on fire youtu.be/Xh75WffmXuE

We're just over a month away from the World Cup so we've started looking ahead to it at @thetransferflow.bsky.social. This week's Patreon episode focuses on seven players who stand to gain a great deal from the spotlight: www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

REQUEST: Do any of you have connections to get the Curacao World Cup kits? I need them for my family and they don't seem to be available ANYWHERE. Thanks!

This reffing is... perplexing, especially in Germany.

Arsenal making the CL Final with a 1-0, followed by Montpellier women's staying up on the final day courtesy of a 94th minute goal in another match - where the team that scored had a red card and nothing to play for - is all the drugs I can handle. Give me gambling... football is too hardcore.

That was grindy near perfection in a CL knockout. Everyone wants that level of control nowadays and Arsenal are the ONLY team who get it. But they do make it ugly...

If it were the first half of the season, I might be chill right now. Arsenal are great defensively and can see this out. Sadly, the second half of the season ALSO occurred and my sober heart rate is about 140bpm.

4 Atleti players trying to be in the line of that shot, it still makes it through and Saka gets a rebound. Football is a tough, tough game.

Gyokeres is... having fun? In a CL semi knockout leg and has a physical advantage (for once compared to the PL slog) so mise well?!

Arsenal throwing more and more bodies back on goalkicks to combat Atleti's high press, partly because none of the forwards have pace to threaten the backline in behind. Some dicey stuff so far, but a good tactical watch.

Atleti picking on Calafiori early is clearly a choice and probably a good one if they want to sneak a goal.

Erling Haaland is obviously number one in expected goals per 90 in the Premier League, but as of right now... Which player is number 2?

Ferran Torres was a staple of the transfer rumour mill for years, almost completely as a wide forward. I don't think ANYONE expected him to lead* La Liga in xG as a striker at age 26. *I Goodman'd the first posting of this.

We messed up on pricing for the TTF Fan Session. Was £75, now £10. Rebuilding Arsenal + another PL team rebuild exclusive....and 3 hours with the community. May 22nd, bring your friends! Book now: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-transf...

And that, kids, is why you hedge your futures bets.

Learn to cook. THEN Teach your kids to cook. Sometimes they make dinner. Sometimes you tell them there's stuff for strawberry-basil gelato in the fridge... find a recipe and that's dessert for tomorrow. And they make it!

obviously results, but his attacking numbers to expectation were flat and defence -5, since he left Utd's attack is +7 to expectation and flat in defence. As ever our old pal variance lurks

Forgotten hero of this season will be Ruben Amorim. When he left Utd their xG difference was +0.37 per game, up from -0.01 last season, and since he left it's at +0.29, but all the uplift took place when he was in charge

It's transfer season, which means I don't have time to write a detailed historic article on why the mainstream seems to have wrong ideas about set pieces. But I WANT to. Maybe it's a 30 min segment for the TTF Conference instead...

Me, to club leadership: Did I die and no one told me?

New Podcast! @mixedknuts.bsky.social and @patrickbvs.bsky.social break down: • Does the future of football look like PSG vs Bayern • The numbers from Atleti vs Arsenal • Mourinho to Real Madrid: seriously? • Enzo Fernández' to Real or Man City? youtu.be/By3pJ6q-Kco

It’s a good thing when the gasoline costs An XCOM Amount, right

This is about the NHL, but it reminds me of a notable Director of Football in Spain who somehow was lauded as a data savant by the media but did not know how to sort a spreadsheet.

Michael Olise, Bayern Munich 25-26. Quite possibly the world's best/most dangerous playmaker right now. That also makes his shooting better because you can't overplay him on either foot inside the box.

Japan was great. But I guess home is pretty okay too. (Yes, I am still very, very jetlagged.)

There’s a popular genre among booze YouTubers of “try to match Winston Churchill’s drinking schedule” and despite being, like, clinical alcoholics by today’s standards, they can’t get close to the ~20 drinks he did daily. And he was a moderate drinker by the standard of someone 100 years before him!

Update: Butter Butler and Press Butter San great success. As were the Hershey's freeze-dried strawbs! Gummies were fine. Kit kats obv +++

Don't watch Atletico vs Arsenal alone on Wednesday. We're doing our first ever watch party for the UCL semifinal. @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @shelatneel.bsky.social will be streaming live and answering your questions. The stream goes live 10 minutes before kickoff: youtube.com/live/alUDe9ZMrZM
