You have to feel for Harry Kane...EFL cup on a Wednesday night against a second string Wolves line-up....off you go Harry, yet another 90 mins please. Oh its gone to Extra Time, dig in Harry, another 30 mins please.
He is going to be absolutely buggered by the time the World Cup comes.
Is there extra time - I thought it went straight to penalties
You might be right....still, it really is absolutely stupid how he gets whipped into the ground like a cart horse. Its the same for England, those 3 matches, he played in all 3 of them.
Where as at the top clubs like Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, none of the crucial players are playing 90 mins every game, and certainly not in things like every round of the EFL cup.

A professional footballer having to play football matches? How horrendous.
What's wrong with a footballer being ever-present in games? Many are, so long as they can remain fit enough.

Finally scored though...
Good away win for the Foxes reserves.
Its a decent comparison, Vardy, Maddison, Barnes don't get ground into the earth like Kane does.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki blamed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for chaos in Oval Office https://trib.al/Dcv1A5u
The "chaos" being that Boris gave journalists an opportunity to ask questions and Biden doesn't like answering questions? 🤔
Its was absolutely ridiculous that supposed the most powerful man in the world is too old and confused to be able to answer some questions so a press official has to scream and shout over any of the journalists to stop any question getting caught on tape.
Nor is that democracy.
Also, how can they possibly keep this up until 2024? He's not going to get LESS old and confused

That isn't the way it works. For starters, footballers are often carrying minor knocks, which rest and recovery is the best thing for them. Stressing your body week in, week (remember he doesn't even really ever get a proper break as he plays for England), will only lead to one place, injury and shortened career. You only have to look at what happens to Kane, he plays all these games, then he goes pop and out injured for several months, rinse and repeat.
I don't think any other team in the EPL does this, their best players are rested from time to time, or brought off early in a game.
England cricket for instance have realised this, hence why they rotate the bowlers. Just asking Wood to run in and bowl 95mph, game after game after game, it just caused him to break down injured.
All British Lions players from the summer have been ordered no matches for 10 weeks.
All sports realise this now. Nobody tries to play every match, tournament etc, every week.

Well the way its going, Harry Kane will be absolutely buggered by then....oh your talking about Joe Biden ;-)

Last season Mo Salah played in 51 games for Liverpool, 2 more than Kane. They both appeared in the same number of Cup games (14) but Salah played 2 extra League games (35 for Kane, 37 for Salah).
Three Liverpool players had more appearances than Kane over the season: Wijnaldum (51 including ever-present in the League), Salah (51), Robertson (50, ever-present in the League)
Mané and Firmino both had 48 which is only 1 fewer than Kane.
I'm struggling to see how Kane is overworked in comparison?
The more I hear about Evergrande in China, the more mental it is. 37x your household income for a home, with prices in many cities the same as the most expensive parts of London, despite salaries 7x in London.
Also, what I didn't realise is the demand for housing isn't just a wealth thing, apparently in China, you can only claim for state services like schooling and healthcare in the province you are born or where you own a home. So huge percentage of people who have moved to a different province for work can't access any state services.
Funny sort of Communist miracle, when the people can't even get access to basic state services.

Its a decent comparison, Vardy, Maddison, Barnes don't get ground into the earth like Kane does.
Vardy played every game when he was Kane's age. Maddison hasn't been right for 6 months with a hip problem and Barnes had months out at the end of last season through injury.
If I have a criticism of Rogers, it is that he gets players back too soon from injury, and so they take a long time recovering. Good to see 90 minutes for Evans, he is our best defender. Soyuncu needs a cool head beside him.

Which is why Xi is having his own cultural revolution against speculators, tech tycoons and celebrities. He is flashing a bit of Maoist leg to the Chinese poor.

Oh god no...I thought it was terrible.
It's not Chernobyl, nor is it Breaking Bad
But as an amusing insight into the idiotic rich people that go to mexa-luxe resorts, it is excellent. It nails them. Their narcissism, their fatuity, their unknowing cruelty and vulgarity
Perhaps I am biased as a Dildo Knappers Gazette Correspondent, I've seen these people countless times, and they are exactly like this

Watched the first episode of that Only Murders in the Building...willing to give it a second episode...but I am then reminded just how good Serial Season 1 was as a true crime podcast.
Apparently on top of all the official debt Evergrande owns, they have been doing their own version of I guess what you might call QE for years, producing commercial paper (basically IOUs), which have now been traded throughout China as an alternative for cash.

They are very much the cheap, illegal labour that allows China's urban elite to live cheaply. They are about as Communist as N Korea is democratic.
Which is where Xi is a break from the recent past.
It really does look like a serious crackdown on the profiteers. The circulation of Li Guangman's article by leading CCP outfits shows the way the wind is blowing.
An interesting direction for China, and perhaps will be the end of Xi, if it doesn't go well. Evergrande having its finance pulled was a deliberate act, to encourage the others.

The characters are superbly drawn. These Americans are REALLY like this. The super-rich families whose kids just stay on their screens, in their $5000 a night suites
I went to a safari camp in Kafue in Zambia once, mega luxurious on the Busanga Plains, you have to fly in, I was told that just before me the entire camp had been rented by a billionaire Microsoft dude, for his family. He hired several helicopters to make sure everything was brought in, including satellite dishes and the like, to make sure that he and his kids were always online, despite this being one of the most remote places on earth (ordinarily there is no wifi let alone mobile signal)
The result was that his spoilt kids spent their whole time on their phones, arguing and sexting, and they barely did any safari (and Kafue has some of the best safari on the planet)
Probably cost him a million dollars for one holiday. Or more

Were it not for habit, and the history of their rise to power making it unviable, they might be better off calling themselves the Chinese Nationalist Party instead.

That's it?
That's their demand.
And they are willing to go to prison for the years for the belief that all social housing should be insulted?
