It looks like Arsenal will have sealed 3 first-team signings as the transfer window opens, and still the prevailing narrative is that we haven't moved fast enough. Maybe everyone needs to calm down and get off the internet, IDK

Needed an Amazon scheduled delivery today. What an amazing system. First, they give you a 4-hour slot, so you only have to be in for part of your day. Then, 5 minutes after that slot has ended, they say 'actually, it's a different 4-hour slot, starting in 3 hours time'.

I’ve not watched a lot of Hato, and I’m prepared to look very silly but… Kiwior has developed into a really excellent back-up CB/LB. We have a nailed in CB partnership and spent big money on a LB last summer. I’m just not sure I see why you’d do a move like this?

You've got to ask yourself why England weren't bowling for strangles down the leg side earlier...

I ALWAYS hate to say this, but @rbanerjee23.bsky.social is absolutely spot on with this. Batman Begins is often overlooked because of what followed, but it's the best of the trilogy and of any superhero films ever. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/the-...

A quote for the ages. “When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it’s kind of like, I just want to play football man.”

It’s interesting to see the pride flag, complete with trans colours, flying all over the Kent vs Gloucester game. Trans players are banned from playing in the category they identify as in this country

on a purely theoretical level, the failure of the Club World Cup is fascinating you have famous teams, committed to winning because of the prize pool, in new and unusual matchups, a set of brand new underdogs, playing in cities where high-level football is rare and no one cares

I know this to be true, but I've never understood it. It's just not that hard, why would you not start on time?

Thought I’d give the Club World Cup another chance and man, I’m dying of secondhand embarrassment, especially when the commentators are talking about the energy ramping up and what a good tournament it’s going to be.

Had no intention of watching the Club World Cup, and won't watch this game, but just flicked over while killing time. Empty stadium Commentator blabbering about how great the tournament is Players coming out one by one This is garbage!

I get how (some) Newcastle fans are able to ignore the crimes of the owners because they like watching their team win. It's bad, but football fans, we're all hypocrites. I don't know how any journalists can cover Newcastle and never mention this. There's plenty that do and I can't work it out.

It'll be two years, this Monday night. Time, at last, to write about Agnes.

The UK's paternity leave is the worst in Europe. It frustrates dads, burdens mums, and impoverishes us all. The fight for better parental leave is not just a demand for common decency, but for common sense. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Baffling that Lee Dixon still has the England gig with ITV. He seems to hate football, and is determined not to say anything insightful

I'm offering my services to professional athletes. All I'd do is, whenever they negotiate a contract, I'd sit there and occasionally say "can we get this in writing?" I'd charge £500,000 per negotiation and it'd be totally worth it.

Obligatory 'now do it without a glove' comment. (but also, this is awesome. Athletes doing incredibly athletic things is great, and we should always marvel at these super-humans!)

None of the angles we saw were anything like conclusive. The goal's been disallowed, and we've still not seen the evidence. And it took 5 minutes. I'm very glad it was disallowed, but if you wanted to run an anti-VAR campaign, this is how you'd do it!
