In the anime, Divine Serpent Geh requires the player to reduce their LP to 0 to summon it, but with the effect that so long as it remains on the field, the player cannot lose the Duel. This would, presumably, cause some insane rulings were it actually adapted for the TCG, but given the game does already have alternate win-cons printed on cards like Exodia, and even alternate *lose-*cons printed on cards like Relay Soul, is there any way it actually could be workable to have a card with the opposite effect like Geh, where a player cannot lose the duel until some other condition is fulfilled even if their LP reaches 0 or they deck out?

As the Barclays era seems to be regarded as having its own distinct identity that happened to overlap with the Barclays sponsorship, how else should we divide up the history of the league since 1992?

One suggestion I'd have is doing it by players, e.g.

1992-97: The Cantona Era - This one seems to fit fairly well as Cantona's time at Man United coincided with the period where they had no real consistent rival to the league title and won every year barring Blackburn's sole title in 1995

1998-04: The Keane-Vieira Era - Not quite as neat as neither Keane nor Vieira left their clubs until 2005, but seems to typify the duopoly of Man United and Arsenal during that period pre-Mourinho at Chelsea pretty well.

2017-2025: The De Bruyne-Salah Era - Probably put De Bruyne in capital letters here due to Man City's dominance in the league in this time, but Salah's worth inclusion too as the other standout player from this time and with Liverpool being the only other team to win the league from De Bruyne's first title at Man City up to his departure in 2025.

Or are not featured on concept albums, where you wouldn't be surprised to hear the title of the album recur a lot. For example:

• "Stargazer" by Rainbow, from the album Rising, has the line "I see a rainbow rising" several times in there. There is, in fact, no actual title track on the album.
• "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions. Again, there is no actual title track on the album Love At First Sting, but the line "love at first sting" does feature multiple times in the track.

Football quotes that get the same treatment as "lies, damned lies and statistics", "insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results", etc.

For one, I've heard the anecdote about a manager back in the day having a concussed player who "doesn't know who he is" and telling the physio to "tell him he's Pelé and get him back on" attributed to various old managers including Shankly, Busby and Clough, but seems to have actually been said originally by Partick Thistle manager John Lambie.
