@boydhilton.bsky.social Not that I'm angry about it - I mean not that my friend is angry about it - but why is Gyökeres taking pens ahead of Saka? Grrr. Is it just to build his confidence? Is it just to win that bet against Alan? Is it to anger me & other fantasy managers - I mean, my friend & co?

@deirdreassenza.bsky.social Wow! Talk about your powers over nature! This fellow showed up at our house just as your "like" hit my screen. Thanks for sending him.

@boydhilton.bsky.social In the pod's quest to be positive this week, I was surprised that Arteta didn't come in for more criticism. With the superior talent he couldn't fashion a way to overcome Wolves with ease. Same when Rob Edwards kept Luton in both games they played in 23-24. Just saying.

@boydhilton.bsky.social Early Happy Birthday Boyd! So sorry that your usual trip to NYC is not happening but probably for the best given the state of our States ... peace prizes & such. Unecessary but please tell Alan I agree with him about "the game is enough". All the razzmatazz here for 1/2

@sofire.bsky.social @boydhilton.bsky.social Good luck to you this evening!

@boydhilton.bsky.social Break out the Tesco bags! Kieran Tierney with the goal for Scotland in added time.

@theathleticfc.bsky.social @adamcrafton.bsky.social Adam, you need to relocate to Chicago (bring a whistle). Saw these on my visit to Mariano's today. Have also seen them ar a local Jewel grocery store. For any Aussie writers at the Athletic, both stores now have Tim Tams too.

@adrianaterrazas.bsky.social @aztecaameliaaa.bsky.social @golazodelgringo.bsky.social @ourfutbol.bsky.social Last weekend. Five clubs with a shot at that 8th spot. A lot of jockeying for position. Will one of the usual suspects win the Final or will we get a surprise? Time to buckle up!

@swalsh.bsky.social @joanwalsh.bsky.social 9/25/75 As Mr. Landau said before me, "I saw rock and roll's future and its name is Bruce Springsteen." 50 years go by ...

@jameshorncastle.bsky.social "Ti amo come un gol ..." Sir James, what is "in stoppage time"? Perhaps the greatest expression of love I've ever heard. Thank you for passing it along.

@boydhilton.bsky.social Magisterial?? HaHa! Have you been listening to Ray Hudson commentary on your trips to America? Re Madueke, I thought his play at Chelsea was inconsistent largely because of club's lack of a plan of attack. It always seemed like a free for all. Handbrake on, looks better.

@friebos.bsky.social Thank you for the great coverage of the Vuelta on @thecyclingpodcast.bsky.social . I know it was difficult to tell the story this year, but I thought you & your cohorts did an excellent job, striking the right balance between cycling reporting & news reporting. Well done.

@thisdaypod.com Wow! Getting ready for 16th of September celebrations here in Chicago with our city invaded by our government & what do I hear? Something brand new to me! Great tale of the Irish battalion fighting for Mexico. Nice job, "This Day" team! Esoteric indeed!

@mattspiegel.bsky.social I could see Tributosaurus doing this on the Lakefront.

@treblenikki.bsky.social Knowing that you have had great appreciation in the past for mascots, thought you might enjoy this new member of the mascot world: Truro City's Brian Chough! Nothing like name humor on multiple levels!

@boydhilton.bsky.social Your hat trick hero center forward! Turkey 0-6 Spain: Arsenal's Mikel Merino scores hat-trick in rout - BBC Sport share.google/cOBWtw6YiiJa...

@sofire.bsky.social Let him have it. I have a Chicago style hot dog at NWSL game - Chicago v Orlando. Though I wouldn't mind trying @boydhilton.bsky.social 's veggie burger at the Emirates.

@lacaldwelldc.bsky.social @jheil.bsky.social Our buddy Finley says, "Go Leigh Ann!"

@booksoftheyear.bsky.social Enjoyed the @laurasrobinson.bsky.social episode. Let's see, con men, "The Art of ...", GOLD pineapple? Is there a subtext here? Really looking forward to reading this book & previous by this author. Bet the Q&A episode will have some good recommendations too.

@thisdaypod.com Enjoyed your Denali/McKinley episode. What a long political history for that mountain! Thanks for outlining it.

@boydhilton.bsky.social BIG Game, top analysis! As a neutral, it's so great to hear honest, even keel thoughts on an important game. No excuses. Just a clear eyed view of what happened & possibly (probably) why. Kudos to you & Alan.

@felsgate.bsky.social He keeps on ticking ...

@boydhilton.bsky.social Nice gesture, but if you ask me, every Arsenal fan in the US (especially the MAGA ones) should have to pay the tariff difference.

@swalsh.bsky.social @joanwalsh.bsky.social Amidst all the daily dreck we are currently experiencing, let's take about 40 minutes to enjoy the 50th anniversary of a certain album. Enjoy! Not this one, but something similar!

@aakinwo.bsky.social I just finished today's @theathleticfc.bsky.social podcast & was surprised that Gianluigi Donnarumma wasn't mentioned as a Chelsea target. Has he fallen that far down the list of top keepers? At his age, I would think somebody would take a shot at retooling his game.

@boydhilton.bsky.social Will there be a season preview episode of the greatest Arsenal podcast in the world this week?

@thecyclingpodcast.bsky.social Enjoyed the Daily Cheese from Rose & Denny. All the great race coverage & interviews. And, the Nienke Vinke reports. Terrificly entertaining TdFF podcasts @lionelbirnie.bsky.social @friebos.bsky.social

Raúl Jiménez pays tribute to Diogo Jota

@tntsportsus.bsky.social Will US viewers be able to watch TNT's post race Breakaway show (with @sportsorla.bsky.social & @adamblythe89.bsky.social ) during the Tour de France? As long as they don't show the stage live, there shouldn't be problem with exclusivity. Great to hear their analysis.

@julienlaurens.bsky.social Great description of a wonderful moment: you celebrating Champions League victory with family & friends, especially with two of your sons. Truly beautiful.

@aztecaameliaaa.bsky.social Enjoyed your Our Futbol Our Friends episode with @lizzybecherano.bsky.social . Sounds like you two enjoyed yourselves as well. Curious if either of you have any predictions for Euro 2025? Thanks! @ourfutbol.bsky.social

@boydhilton.bsky.social On CBS footballistically post-game coverage

@treblenikki.bsky.social Yes! Forza Roma!

@boydhilton.bsky.social Nice how that happened! Will Tierney carry that memory away in his Tesco bag when he leaves?

@futmexnation.bsky.social @ourfutbol.bsky.social @felipecardenas.bsky.social Not futbol but with 2/3 of the Giro d'Italia complete is it time to start getting excited about the possibility of a Mexican cyclist winning a Grand Tour event. 1/2 www.cyclingnews.com/news/i-dont-...

@boydhilton.bsky.social Congratulations on your Champions League triumph. Wrighty below & Lianne Sanderson on the DAZN coverage (in tears & speechless). What a night for you Gooners. Hope you & Josh give it the time it deserves.

Love seeing a youngster grow up to be a star for their side.

@boydhilton.bsky.social Had to laugh when the topic of switching keepers came up in the pod this week. Remember when Arteta wanted to switch between Ramsdale & Raya during a game? Seems like long time ago. Good luck to you Wednesday. Hope you can get to Munich. www.tntsports.co.uk/football/pre...

@paulvmtufc.bsky.social Disappointing end to a good season, but thanks to you & BBC Radio Devon for the commentary. Hopefully, next season's end will be uplifting. Enjoy your summer! #COYY

@swalsh.bsky.social @joanwalsh.bsky.social After 96 days of this administration, I think everyone feels as exhausted as Finley. Like the Yardbirds song, I ask, "When will it end? When will it end?"

@paulvmtufc.bsky.social Enjoyed your 65th minute recognition for all the people @tufcofficial.bsky.social who made this season possible (from the uncertainty of the last). Well said Paul. From Chicago I say #COYY.

@ourfutbol.bsky.social Did I miss something? Is Itzel Velasco no longer with America? Injured? Just wondering why she hasn't been selected with Panos out?

@boydhilton.bsky.social Fire up that new microphone. A new podcast episode needs to be created. Congratulations Boyd!

Ludmilla off the mark this season! Set her free @chicagostars.com ! Let's see all her talent in full flow.

@sofire.bsky.social @sonicscrewup.bsky.social @boydhilton.bsky.social Congratulations. Will you smile for the next three days or four? Did Boyd work with his pal Declan on his free kicks? Boyd, will you have ten guests on the podcast to discuss this night? Hopefully, these two supporters.

@ourfutbol.bsky.social Just curious, if any one watched Canada v USA Men's match? Heard that Katia Itzel García was the referee. Hope she had a good performance. Not sure I'll have time to watch the match.

@838carlisle.bsky.social Opening Day in Bridgeview for our Red Stars.

@jheil.bsky.social I look forward to your interview with Omar El Akkad

@tntsportsus.bsky.social Hope you can feature the Breakaway show in the USA on MAX on cycling race days (preferably live, else delayed) so we can hear analysis from @adamblythe89.bsky.social & @sportsorla.bsky.social . They are the best!
