Salah either wants to leave Liverpool or he wants the club to sack Slot. I can’t otherwise make sense of his comments, especially when he’s going to have a break from club duty soon anyway

So according to a targeted ad on Facebook, Evanescence are still touring

Dyche getting battered at Everton is very funny

Spot on. Honestly can’t be bothered to overanalyse the game today. I am concerned by our last 2 away performances but it’s a long season and we all know we would’ve been much better with Gabriel and Saliba.

If you wanted to ensure that women's football does not grow, you couldn't do better than what they are doing with the WSL. In addition to this sort of nonsense, which they've been doing for years, they moved the majority of matches to a timeslot that has seen TV audiences plummet.

Arsenal confirm Gabriel Jesus and Max Dowman have travelled with the Under-21s for a behind-closed-doors friendly against Manchester United at St George’s Park.

Jamie Smith getting put into England’s white ball squads so quickly after he made an immediate impact in test match cricket was always going to end badly. He’s been overplayed, overworked, overhyped and overwhelmed. It has taken just 18 months to break him. Well done ECB, good process.

The problem with day/night tests in Australia is you can experience England losing during the daylight hours. This kind of thing belongs to the dark times between three and four in the morning, like other nightmares. #TheCricket

Crawley and Duckett have done a wonderful job of sowing the seeds of false hope there. Fair play.

Ooo look at me, I’m Mitchell Starc and I’m going to win a day/night test match all by myself. Grow up.

Given that Bond is British, this wouldn’t be offensive to the main audience. As far as I am concerned, Amazon should get a wriggle on

Good evening from the Benyon dialysis ward at the Royal Berkshire Hospital

Enjoyable 👍

“We’re going to wrap Jofra Archer in cotton wool to make sure he’s fit for the Ashes. However, the rest of the bowlers and most of the batters aren’t going to be properly prepared for the series.”

How do the fast bowlers already look knackered?! They had 12 days off ffs

Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but, especially without Europa League ‘league phase’ and EFL Cup games, I really can’t see Man United winning 5 games on the spin this season.

Come West Ham, into these prawn sandwich merchants

For any Australians who might be scraping the barrel to find ways to criticise Joe Root, he still hasn't: Scored a test century in Bangladesh (Jason Gillespie managed a double ton there in 2006) Score a test century in Australia in a red ball test

Oh, look. A load of coverage about a new government inquiry into "overdiagnosis" that completely blurs autism & mental illness, and ends up leaning into all those tropes about people making it all up.

If someone could tell Harry Brook that it is reasonable to go after Starc when he is actually tired, rather than in the middle of the day, that would be great

The ICC needs to start suspending test match captains and penalising bowlers for these awful over rates

Brendon McCullum advising Harry Brook:

HOW THE FUCK ARE ASTON VILLA THIRD?! They couldn’t score for about six weeks ffs

Genuinely furious that Robert Webb isn’t involved here

Well there it is…

Leno, Smith-Rowe and Iwobi couldn’t even give us false hope. They’ll always be losers.

The only bad thing about Zootropolis/Zootopia 2 doing so well at the global box office is that Disney will now rush to make Zootropolis/Zootopia 3

Absolutely gone at the UK Snooker Championship being sponsored by Victorian Plumbing 🤣 Bring back one of those shitty car delivery firms

So many footballers are fucking idiots aren’t they?

David Miles (of the OBR) at the Treasury Select Committee: Reeves’ speech was not inconsistent with the OBR’s assessment.

Miles not backing down on this point despite repeated questioning. Reeves did need to find substantial tax increases. Contradicts a huge amount of the media coverage in last two days.

I am so done with this England team. Picking a part time spinner in a day/night test match will only put more stress on the already fragile seam bowlers.

Apple TV is offering a deal to old subscribers to sign up again for just £4.99 per month, for six months. You can still cancel anytime, so this is a cheap(er) way to binge watch some films and TV programmes, and just pay for the time you need. I think the deal ends at midnight in the UK.

Sorry for being naive here, but did Tory chancellors include the public sector pensions bill into official debt figures? If not, did the media ever hound them to do it?

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

This year’s advent calendars

Three big, high-intensity games in a week is too many. I am mentally exhausted and cannot absorb any more Arsenal-related content. This is party down to the Champions League becoming bloated and TV broadcasters manufacturing “crunch” periods in order to attract subscribers. I am not a crackpot.

Since William Saliba's debut Arsenal have played four games without both him and Gabriel. Three were EFL Cup ties, the only one in the Premier League a 2-1 win over already relegated Southampton, one of the worst teams the division has seen.

“Arsenal have no excuses not to win this game”

Ooh look at me, I’m William Saliba and I’ve picked up a knock in training so I can’t play in Arsenal’s biggest game of the season. Grow up.

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Hincapie, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Eze, Martinelli; Merino Saliba suffered a knock in training Gyokeres, Jesus, Odegaard all on the bench

Just got home from the cinema after taking our daughter to see Zootropolis 2. If your kids loved the first film, they’ll love this one too. 🐰🦊
