Samu Saiz is promoted at last
All is forgiven in promotion. "Look at the clown!" said Michel, as Saiz came on camera for a hug. "We fight, and love each other," Michel said. Saiz had come to say nice things.

That's the theory, anyway. Let's look at some Brenden Aaronson goals and see how they measure for Bowyerism.
Having Huddersfield Town in the Premier League again was going to be a high price to pay for bringing Tom Lees up here, but both their dreams were dashed at Wembley on Sunday anyway.
Why would anyone leave Champions League football and a lifestyle lifted from The Sound of Music for the bottom of the Premier League and life in fucking Leeds?
This is a man I assumed to have the highest aesthetic standards in football, and now I'm forced to picture him roaring his approval as Danny Ward runs the clock down in a corner of Wembley.
Leeds United were brave, in 2018, hiring Marcelo Bielsa to change the club's culture. But Premier League paranoia was too powerful in the end.
Marcelo Bielsa's obsessive practice of his life's work gives football the true seriousness it needs for us to remember that it's only a game.
Marcelo Bielsa should be a football club owner's dream. Can you help him? No. He is here to help you.
Imagine being the first person to greet him after his retreat. They might have thought this madman would never stop talking. 'So what you're saying is, Marcelo,' they might interrupt in a breath-long pause after a night's talk has run on into breakfast, 'Maradona was a good player?'
Dealing with last weekend first, Bielsa went to great detailed lengths to say it was all his fault, then said he was going to great detailed lengths to say it was all his fault to make sure everybody is clear that it was all his fault.
