Never let it be said that the British press is out of touch

I’ll never cease to be amazed at the indifference & lack of teeth shown by football’s governing bodies in the face of such despicable behaviour.

The full scale of the exploitative market in children in care is laid bare in a new report from Ofsted, published today. Four out every 10 children in care now earn a profit for investors. www.gov.uk/government/s...

I forgot how massive Kompany’s head is…

That was a budget from a leadership paralysed by a lack of strategic vision. They can’t even communicate the wins because of the briefings & counter-briefings. Government by polling & focus groups is for the weak & that is what they are… Depressing.

COP30 in Brazil was billed as the “implementation summit”, when hot air turned to action. But Edelman, the PR firm that won the contract to promote the climate summit, was pulling in two directions. 🧵1/2

I watched zero minutes of the last WC & I can see it being the same again… FIFA is run by men who only have one interest & that is lining their pockets. Greed will be the death of the beautiful game.

Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing... Column: inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Lol

are arsenal too reliant on open play goals

What a picture! 🙌🏾

Wow that was enjoyable! We could & should have scored more. Spurs were absolutely dreadful too. Get in!

Hahaha if I supported that lot, my head would be on Mars 😂

Only the fourth ever hat-trick in this fixture, after Ted Drake (Arsenal, October 1934), Terry Dyson (Spurs, August 1961) and Alan Sunderland (Arsenal, December 1978) according to Opta. Seems mad, but suppose it's always been a game between two teams relatively close to each other - unlike today.

I hate NLD day.

Terrific that the new legislation will NOT stop this...🤦🏻‍♀️👀🤨

Right decision but club can take no credit given how long it has taken to come to it & the fact they were publicly known to be looking to extend…

In 2020-21, Robert Lewandowski had 35% of Bayern Munich's xG, the highest ever mark for a player on a title-winning team in a top 5 league. Erling Haaland currently has 60% of Man City's xG. www.thetransferflow.com/p/manchester...

Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job." nymag.com/intelligence...

Starmer is not only a terrible PM but is also a shit person.

"Denmark" is to Starmerism what "Australia" is to the Tory/Reform axis A mythical land whose policies are to be emulated with no real engagement with the reality of it or what it involves E.g. Over 30% of Australia's population was abroad, it's more of an immigrant melting pot than America

Wow. Pope Leo XIV with one of the most eloquent and profound statements about algorithms, art and cinema you are likely to read.

In 1622, when the Ottoman Sultan Mustafa I was supposed to be returned to power after years of imprisonment, he instead barricaded himself in his room and refused to come out, telling court officials "I do not want to be the Sultan". Not sure what made me think of that.

That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC. SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Sweet Jesus!

Liverpool have been absolutely abysmal.

That’s a nonsense call.

Liverpool being carved open again and again.

That’s a terrible pen.

Beyond Man City, other clubs which profit directly from emirati patronage should ask themselves some inconvenient questions; and if they do not of their own accord, we fans should be pressuring them into doing so. These other clubs very much include Arsenal FC. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Beat Spurs after the break & no one will remember that game. Dust off & move on kinda game.

We should have won. Sunderland worked really hard for their point but we had so many chances to kill that game off & gave two very poor goals away…

Two goals conceded were not fouls but both really poor defending.

Reinaldo is a lucky chap

Raya is really, really good.

Damn it! Missed the goal as I was putting it the little one to sleep but on the replay, that’s an exceptional goal from Trossard. I would have subbed him at HT 😂

I hope Pawson’s car breaks down on the way home tonight…

Ref book him ffs!

Trossard slows everything down. Against a team sat so deep, it’s infuriating.

That’s not a foul, you insufferable git.

I just messaged my mate to say Saka not at his best tonight 😅

Yellow?

Ffs! Wake up!

Trossard is too slow & through no fault of his own, Merino allows CBs all the time in the world. Not sure where the spark from the bench will come from, mind.

Why is Goodman on comms? Are Sky broke?!

As bad as the ref has been, we’ve been dire.

So their player pushes Calafiori into their defender so it’s a foul to them…

Ffs! Anyone but Saliba on that ☹️

Love Xhaka arguing that 😂
