Won a major European trophy just months ago. Got into the CL. 250k on the streets. Just astonishing.

This team has tried to swerve politics wherever it’s come up. We were given a talking to by a USA hockey press officer for bringing it up with q player at the start of the Games. But here’s the FBI director Kash Patel inside the dressing room on Dylan Larkin’s live as he celebrates with teammates.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

Root canal, with no anaesthetic.

Not blaming the players (the fit ones), the managers, coaches, DoFs and directors. This is what happens when your owners do not run a football club for the benefit of the football, or, if we're being generous, understand football.

Don’t worry Arsenal fans, Saka will be fine.

Oh, so *now* it’s the players?

Solid point, this.

This game rather countering the idea that derbies are levellers.

Better. Not great, but better. Have to maintain it - they aren’t wasting domination and opps like that again.

Reality check: man for man this Arsenal team is better. The bench is a chasm apart. But just have a go. Try not to be shit.

So, presumably journos will be allowed to ask congratulatory questions of Eileen Gu?

Johnson looking like a sack of hungover straw; yesterday‘s man who had nothing to offer in power and even less out of it - and of course Laura K obliges and gives him easy airtime.

Morning. The biannual trip to the dentist. Try to stay calm and it will all be over soon.

That Citeh result should fire Spurs up a bit more. Should.

Burn v Haaland was a cracker, Btw.

Three (four?) fouls from Joelinton and a yellow in the space of what, 10 mins?

Sensing something afoot with media coverage of the monarchy. Some isolated questions are being asked – the royal correspondent of Vanity Fair was on BBC raising some actual meaningful ones, for crissakes – but only because it’s ‘safe’ to do so.

Good to see that others in the club are at last prepard to face the media. More of this.

oy mama.

Short-track speed skating, I could do that. Rollerdisco at Pickett’s Lock circa 1978, the perfect breeding ground.

That’s it Igor. You’ve cracked it. That’s all the coaching they need. That way 👉 #coys

Al Crapone reacting with customary gravitas, maturity, and sense to the SCOTUS decision. Bully’s gonna bully.

'Just to let you know, the lasagne's off, sorry about that.'

BBC News actually running with some editorial tentatively questioning the concept of monarchy, including critical voxers. Ok, it's hardly revolutionary France but interesting nonetheless.

Also major oof.

"Will no one rid me of these meddlesome priests?"

This is class from Kompany. Erudite, right, and demonstrating proper leadership.

He's not wrong. Oof.

Very good from @migueldelaney.bsky.social. This just one of the bang-on nuggets: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A terrible, shocking story. Don't tell us this has nothing to do with the increased hate-baiting stoked by the rich and powerful. Brazen racism promoted at a think-tank dinner has fatal, heartbreaking street-level consequences: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When the head and sub make the image look like a screen on 'Pointless':

Igor Tudor saying the right things. Good. Important thing is reaction, action, and outcome. When those are positive then he'll have really said the right things.

'General jerkiness' far more preferable to that 'Spursy' cods.

Probably an unpopular view but Postecoglu's comments about Romero paint him as a bit of a self-regarding arse, IMHO.

If there's any justice in this cruel world, Phil Noble is never going to have to buy a drink again.

Want.

In which Frank confirms what his brief from the owners was. #morewins #dna #audereestfacere

Small Prophets was satisfyingly brilliant. The casting, acting, tone, and whip-smart script and plotting. All of it. Very talented people coming together to produce high-class art.

Gazza is thinking of heading for Sandringham with a bottle of Krug and some foie gras.

ISTBC but of the main news bulletins, only C4 raised questions of the Queen (his mum, not the current karaoke act) and her protection of her ‘favourite son.’ That of itself indicts these people and their class. Imagine having ‘favourite’ kids.

Question: while Mountbatten-Windsor is subject to investigation and proceedings re: MIAPO, what bearing, if any, does that have on investigations into other potential offences both here and in the US? Are they able to proceed or are they put on hold?

Wolves have posted a compilation video on their official TikTok of Arsenal players wasting time last night when they score was 2-1.

So... I understand three Arsenal players went down 'injured' with their team winning 2-1. And Wolves scored their equaliser in injury time? Roger that, understood.

'Bringing the game into disrepute' latest.

Useless numpty sat on the wall Useless numpty had a great fall All the king's forces and all the king's men Couldn't put numpty together again.

25 mins into the 1pm BBC News and lots of royal correspondents, pundits, commentators, expert talking heads etc. No one from eg Republic raising even the mildest questions about the validity of and justification for heriditary power and wealth.

With hours of airtime to fill, here come the constitutional experts jostling for who can go 'unprecedented in modern times' the most. 5Live have been quick out of the blocks, going with 'since Charles 1st was arrested - and we all know what happened there.' Gauntlet thrown.
