Nothing like a bit of news in late Dec that renders much of your year's work a really expensive waste of time.

Let's just nip this name-checking suits for sorting sponsorship deals in the bud now, yeah? Is Deel the sleeve sponsoring version of Estevao? Is this some sort of coup? Frankly, I'm just cross at them for not offering it to Sarsons, Tunnocks or Blanco Niño nacho chips for pennies on the pound.

Kepa; MLS, Hincapie, Saliba, Nichols; Norgaard, Ethan, Eze; Gabi, Gyok, Noni. That's not bad.

Considering how Saliba's "matter of days" has gone, that Timber and Trossard update is not ideal.

Oh, isn't that nice? He's got the managerial job he always dreamed of as a kid.

Find it hard to believe he needed the money...

This is so fucking funny dude.

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration. It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

Putting Elon Musk on the cover of a magazine for anything other than “his illegal government funding cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children” is propaganda

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Days after FIFA awarded Trump a fake peace prize, DOJ moves to drop charges in FIFA corruption case www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

Dortmund drawing to Bodo/Glimt has annoyed me. Needed them further ahead of the PL clubs in the race for automatic qualification.

Throwing the Inter game could really piss on some English clubs' chips. Considering we really need Dortmund to beat them in game week 8, I say we do it.

18 points from 18 is espectacularrrrrr.

Don't do it to yourself re Gabi Jeez.

What the centurion on Calvary saw two minutes before ordering up some nails.

Cole Palmer (certified moron) and Marc Guehi (thinks the Bible is an encyclopedia) don't believe in them. Hope everyone else who agreed feels sufficient embarrassment.

JFC... How are they still running the narrative "so many arsenal fans were against signing Noni Madueke". Again on TNT HT analysis. 🤦🏻

Someone do a compilation of goals where the ball seems to accelerate into the net.

Man, Phil Foden really put that Madueke goal on a plate.

wi-fi service on my flight is terrible and when the feed finally showed up this is the frozen screen. seems about right.

This opinion appeals to Musk because it treats women and children as objects without autonomy, which appeals to subhuman techbros in his crowd.

Northern Ireland continues show off just how broken UK counter-terrorism law has become...

Exactly. In fact, having been a schoolboy at a not dissimilar school in that time, it's the Spectator article that spectacularly "misses the point": it's true that 'war talk' was the norm, but it was quite the opposite of the norm to identify *with* the Nazis - and certainly not "entirely typical".

You can bet your arse I'm getting a shirt.

BRB I'm off to study all remaining fixtures for the clubs within three points of 8th.

This was shared in a GC yesterday, so could do with Spurs & Chelsea missing out.

With the World Club Cup already in their legs, City could do with avoiding the CL play-in round. They finish the group stage at Bodo and/or Glimt and home to Galatasaray, so if they're to miss out on the top 8, today's game in Madrid seems like a must lose. Today I feel Madridista.

If travelling to the USA for the World Cup, consider signing up to Truth Social, 4 Chan, or even X to aid entry into the country.

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

SA: "My baby is crying. Should I feed it?" ChatGPT: "Your baby may need feeding." SA: "I fed it yesterday." ChatGPT: "Actually, you're correct. Your baby is fed."

What did the snap of his shirt make Wirtz fall over? That is soft as hell.

You will NEVER see this one coming.

Little known fact: no one has ever raised a newborn without AI. It was literally impossible until the big predictive text machine came along.

This Saliba thing is getting worrying.

Can't believe this death cult is making a comeback.

Been listening to this again. What an astounding piece of work it is. open.spotify.com/album/2y2QZ4...

Boo because they just want to sell more cars, credit cards and prescription drugs, but yay because Jackie Charlton belatedly got his wish.

Any reasonably well adjusted person would take a very deep breath before challenging the veracity of testimony of childhood trauma. And if they went ahead, they would be very careful to make sure they'd got their facts straight. That would be an absolutely basic measure of human decency.

Full piece here. The lack of accountability for Bush-era torture has become a load-bearing flaw in the state of this country. A disgraceful stain that is continuing to spread.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Have done Christmas with work. Fallow and the Devonshire are no joke.

Love to do 45 minutes on the elliptical while wearing a full suit to be #respectful of the airlines

Anyone would think the EU had just hit this man's business with a nine-figure fine for breaching social media regulations.

"LFC want forward to stay"

I would like to see a Norgaard > Odegaard > Eze midfield vs Brugge. Then ideally bring Ethan on to fill the Odegaard role. Will never happen.
