Bill Gates Epstein Files latest From the new Private Eye, out now.

Chelsea committed 12 fouls, Arsenal 13. Chelsea got one yellow and one red. Arsenal got six yellows! #CHEARS

💯

For the first time ever, I am getting frustrated with Saka’s performance. He is off form and instead of using his teammates, he’s trying to prove he can do it himself.

Saka is amazing but quite some way from his best.

This is going to be interesting to see the structure now. Odegaard deep?

Aghhh, all those pushes and shoulders into the back that Chelsea got away with in the first half. MLS gets an immediate yellow card

Chelsea out for the second-half with stick-on bumps hidden but ready to deploy.

No surprise. Chelsea started the game wanting a fight, because they know they’re the inferior team and a fight only evens things out. Don’t give it to them. Keep the pitch big, dominate possession, tire them, bring on the big athletic subs.

If Hincapié is yellow carded for an accidental arm to the face, how about a swung clenched fist to the chin?

Outrageous that is a yellow

Alan Smith you are losing your Smudge title. You are talking utter shite today.

We have allowed the ref to get to us. We need to slow this game down and get some control.

Caicedo fouls at will. Nothing from Taylor.

Eze giving up on a challenge because he’s already expecting the whistle.

Foot was anchored blah blah blah. Yet a no foul situation gets Zubi a yellow card. Ignoring Cucacrappa kicking Saka into the air.

West Ham’s team v Arsenal for my first match at Highbury • Goalkeeper: Mervyn Day  • Defenders: Kevin Lock, Bill Green, Billy Bonds, Frank Lampard (Sr)  • Midfield: Trevor Brooking, Alan Devonshire, Anton Otulakowski  • Forwards: Billy Jennings, John Radford, Alan Taylor

I bring you a live stream from Your Party’s first conference youtu.be/lgGmYeAm0jk?...

The moment Eddie got away I said “He’s not passing”. Unfortunately he didn’t do anything at all.

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more. This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich. This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

Why did ManU think looking like Leeds was a good idea for a 2nd/3rd strip?

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... RIP Billy. One of the glamorous players from the pages of Shoot magazine when I first started following football.

Can’t bear the Thatcherite fifth columnist but credit where credit is due. On this I applaud Reeves.

Farage's alliance with the US hard-right should alarm every British woman

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Jesus fucking wept. America is insane. Simply insane.

The stark difference in priorities between the Green Party and Labour has never been so clear. Vote Green Party. If you really want to send a clear message, then join the UK Green Party. It was one of my better decisions.

Every MAGA and every US Christian Fundamentalist is going straight to hell.

Been boycotting them for years. Because they are an awful company and because of their crimes against coffee.

Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities. Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers. Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees. Support local independent coffee shops:

The epitome of the hypocrisy of the right wing. ‘Pro-life’, yet utterly resentful of anyone else living.

Thank GOD for Andrew Fisher!! FINALLY we get to hear about Spain on #r4today The fastest growing economy in Europe & outstripping the US as well & how? Wealth tax, rent controls & a positive integration-focused approach to immigration & asylum!! 🙌👏👏👏

As Jesus said: “You’re on your own mate, not my problem”

What a sick country Israel is

Another Gill? An investigation long overdue on UKIP, Brexit and Reform. Amazing how many of these anti Europe protagonists patriotically live or have second homes in Europe.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Great interview youtu.be/33ZNz5Ai-Y4?...

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Ah I see the weird hentai accounts of reached Bluesky. A few odd follows over the last few days.

Reform makes sense. If you’re a racist and are happy to throw away all your rights, including employment rights, just not to live near a dark-skinned person.

Kimmich had his head on a swivel trying to keep up with Arsenal, so he probably missed having rings run around him. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684... Joshua Kimmich says Arsenal are not best team Bayern Munich have faced this year: ‘They rely on set pieces’

Best attack in Europe managed 0.78 xG against Arsenal.
