God, this is like watching a session of the Chinese Communist Party. The boasting. The fawning. The sycophancy. The tawdriness. The lies. The conceit. The arrogance. My flesh creeps. The GOP disgusts me. The Democrats are useless.

Abominable, arrogant prick. 6,500 British service members killed or wounded fighting alongside American troops since 2003.

What’s clear at this point is that the Trump strategy on Ukraine is to only place pressure on Zelensky, not Putin. The moves we’ve seen have been to give Russia everything it wants, and Ukraine nothing. It’s a complete reversal of the American position from only 6 weeks ago.

words I never imagined writing in my lifetime..... General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Nato deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, has told Times Radio: "I think we have to assume, after the events of the last 10 days, that we cannot in any way count on America as an ally"

If the sole reason for re-considering the commercial relationship is financial, the Arsenal board can royally go and do what you'd expect them to do in this situation.

Also true in the UK. Where people imagine there to be big savings they approve of (overseas aid, MPs salaries, benefits fraud) there are not.

I think in the circumstances, a point is a decent result. The title charge died with Kai & Martinelli’s injuries. I am sanguine. We need to limp on until April when hopefully the good lads of HMS Attack are back…

That's how I expected our games without an actual striker to look. Well-assembled but completely blunted, no cutting edge, no ideas, but trying to work with what we've got. Though that itself only goes even further to show what an outright disgrace everything about Saturday was.

Romanian authorities this morning arrested pro-Kremlin presidential candidate Călin Georgescu. Officials found $10m in cash and plane tickets to Moscow at the home of one of his bodyguards. This is the man that JD Vance and Elon Musk claim is being treated unfairly by Romanian and EU authorities.

This thread shows how close US is now getting to a constitutional crisis - as opposed to constitutional drama. Once the executive freely disregards court orders without sanction then US pretty much has a constitutional crisis. Things are coming to a head.

Neville trying to draw a comparison between Liverpool today and Arsenal's games at the Etihad in 22-23 & 23-24. He just seemed to miss the bit where Arsenal were playing probably the best team in the world at that time.

Forest are getting carved open at will. Newcastle’s wide players get to run at isolated FBs as the CBs are terrified of Isak. We can do the same with our plethora of options on Wednesday 😒

My optimism is very low atm… Crap feeling like this. Forest next. Again, they’ll be compact & same scenario very much likely. We could be in a Top 4 battle before we know it. Maddening.

A completely wasted season… With every dropped point, my anger increases at there being zero movement in January & the dismal summer window. I can’t fault the team or manager. What more could they do in the circumstances?! The hierarchy above that, however, have questions to answer.

RvP about to be appointed Feyenoord coach, which of course, is one of the two teams (with PSV) that we could have from today’s CL draw. I am ready for some score settling…
