Agree. Has Athletic Gone A Bit Downhill Of Late?

A bit click baity at times these days with the headlines whilst the comments section seems to be going a little BBC/Mail Online, not that this is their fault.

They're also big on gaming features and the old pie charts, graphs and pitch diagrams littered with arrows. I know they'll have their devotees too but it tends to all wash over me.

("Here you can see how 'x' is pulling two defenders out of position, this game helping to push his Pulling Defenders Out Of Position stats to 39.35% as compared to 29.25% pre-Everton, a figure that is now bettered by only eleven other Premier League attacking midfielders with a ball to feet ratio of 3:1 or above")
