Sharp analysis from beyond the touchline
Venturi tunnels, vortex management, and the eternal battle between regulation and ingenuity. How Formula 1's ground-effect era changed racing — and how engineers immediately began un-changing it.
From Guardiola's Barcelona to today's positional-play juggernauts, the false nine has quietly rewritten the geometry of attacking football. We trace its origins, its mechanics, and why defences still struggle to answer it.
Amortisation schedules, agent ecosystems, and the quiet mathematics behind nine-figure fees. A clear-eyed look at how football's transfer market actually works — and where the money really goes.
The mid-range jumper didn't die of natural causes. How shot-value mathematics, spacing theory, and tracking data engineered the fastest stylistic transformation in basketball history.
Declared extinct for two decades, the attacking net game is creeping back into elite tennis. Data on shortened points, new-generation volleyers, and why the baseline era may have peaked.
Expected goals was only the beginning. Inside the models, metrics, and recruitment departments that turned player scouting from an art of instinct into a science of probability.
Triple stints, energy allocation, and the mathematics of mechanical mercy. Endurance racing's greatest event is won long before the chequered flag — in simulations, spreadsheets, and split-second calls at 3 a.m.
