## Resource

We start with Harvey Elliott’s Villa loan mess and how trigger clauses can stall a player’s season. Then it’s Liverpool vs City, a ridiculous free kick, a brilliant game, and another VAR moment that sucks the life out of it. After that we get into Romero’s red, Spurs’ injury nightmare, relegation chat that shouldn’t exist, and a quick wander through the bottom-half chaos, plus a detour into aphantasia, sock holes, shin pads, and the one-foot-out sleeping “regulator”.
