Sad news. Fortunately, we're at least a pretty strong team in that area these days. And whilst I believe Emi has been looking much better lately, it isn't like he's been an indispensable player for us. Feel really bad for him though.
The encouraging thing to me is that we have come up against an all-action, nonstop press, aggressive side and we are still winning. We can play against this style of football, and I wasn't too sure how we'd handle it.
We're looking good for the season ahead imo.
I feel like this game is being played at 1.5x. The Valencia press and intensity is off the charts, we don't have a fraction of a second respite from it at any point.
Still loving the Kona electric after 18 months.
This week we are holidaying in Scotland. On the way up we stopped overnight at a hotel near Carlisle. They had free charging.
Tonight we are camping in Perthshire. They have free charging, powered entirely by solar. I wish more places did this kind of thing, it's brilliant. This trip is proving so easy and so cheap in terms of fuel it's just fantastic. Have had zero issues taking the EV on long trips.
Tyre particles yes, perhaps EVs are slightly worse than ICE. I'm sure that will improve with time however.
Brake dust though... I'm telling you now that my electric car generates literally NO brake dust compared to my previous cars. I never ever have to wash the alloys, they are always shiny and dust free. And it's because probably 90% of the braking is handled by the regen system. It's fantastic and one of my favourites unexpected bonuses of the electric car - alloys that never get black and dusty.
Plenty of UFO talk today. But it's just that - the whistleblowers haven't given any concrete evidence as far as I can tell. It's all just words. They may be credible witnesses etc. but this is still all just hearsay. Give us actual pictures or videos or physical items or just... something.
