Paris Saint-Germain put on a show in Leverkusen. Nine goals, two red cards - and Ousmane Dembele marking his first game since winning the Ballon d'Or with a goal. What a performance from the defending champions.

Heading home from a 3 - 1 defeat at Radcliffe FC.

🗣️ “We have to find ways to overcome that and thrive on the pressure” ⚓️ It has been an exciting week for South Shields - but manager Ian Watson wants their focus to be firmly on this afternoon’s home game with National League North rivals Hereford. www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/footba...

There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trump’s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.

Former Premier League striker Fabio Borini has joined League Two side Salford City, who are owned by David Beckham and Gary Neville. The 34-year-old, who previously represented Chelsea, Liverpool, and Sunderland, scored 16 goals in 111 top-flight games.

Jack Grealish is unavailable for Everton against Manchester City this weekend, Official Premier League rules state that "during the period of the temporary transfer… a player shall not play against the transferor club."

Things you love to see.... Managerless Hartlepool United is getting beaten in the FA Cup at home to a team 2 leagues below theirs. Currently 0 - 3 Gainsborough Trinity.

Ross King is eliminated. That was the right decision on Strictly tonight in the dance off.

Trump also seems to forget he was president on J6.

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Hartlepuddle are in search of a new manager, yet again! www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk/club-stateme...

RIP Diane Keaton 🙏 youtu.be/Q_oFL_b719g?...

FT Darlington 0 - 6 Telford An overall woeful game was played by Darlington.

Darlo are having a bad day at the office. Currently losing 4 - 0 to Telford in the FA Cup

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

Maria Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace prize for keeping the flame of democracy alight in Venezuela. Another headache for Trump as he finds himself on the same side as a Woke liberal socialist woman who he will say stole the prize he most coveted. apple.news/AYNtl8qJLQ32...

The Epstein Estate has provided a third batch of documents to House Oversight. I review the publicly available documents, including new info that Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel dined with Epstein, while Elon Musk allegedly had plans to travel to Epstein Island. youtu.be/Dg02A69EQnc?...

If Trump had half a brain he would cut a pardon deal with JD Vance, resign over health reasons and take the money he has grifted and run. All he does every day he is in office is strengthen the case against him. He is a moron and will never walk away. Not so long as there is a penny left to grift.
