The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

Everything about this city thing smells bad. How did they come to announce it in the international break? So there is no city game for weeks. How was that negotiated? Pep jumped ship a year early, he probably knew. All the obfuscation and deception. They’re the worst. Kick them out.

A very high level half of football. Brighton are fantastic. I honestly don’t think there was much in it, but they pulled out 2 incredible finishes and we didn’t quite find the openings. I think there will be a massive overreaction about how we played due to the scoreline 🤷‍♂️

Weird one, before today Arsenal had allowed six shots that Opta judges as low pressure (i.e. defenders not really closing down) across their first four PL games. They've allowed three just in that first half against Brighton. They've conceded twice.

Most points for the Bears in a game since 1980, when they beat the Packers 61-7. 4 plays, 49 yards, 0:20 D'Andre Swift has 124 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. Kyle Monangai has 100 yards rushing and 1 TD. Bears 59, Panthers 37

Carl Jenkinson feels about as close as you'll ever get to a regular guy getting to live out the dream of all dreams. Hope he gets to spend plenty of his retirement watching his Arsenal fight for more trophies.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is on HBOMax. I bet both Safdie brothers have seen it 50 times. Ben Gazzara is perfect as a flesh peddler & underworld bottom-feeder who thinks he's the only soulful, classy guy in this fallen world. The use of onscreen music as soundtrack is brilliant & haunting.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Bit of a flareup after the match. Jesse Marsch and Qatar coach Julien Lopetegui didn't have a friendly handshake. After Marsch left, argument between the benches ensued. Lot of players and staffers in a bit of a scrum now. Canada still clearly upset about Kone's injury.

All credit to Canada for a fantastic performance. But Qatar are a deeply and hilariously unserious team, despite dumping stupid sovereign wealth money into their team for a decade.

Both players kinda got stuck in the pitch, both falling. Horrible for Koné and I really don’t think Modibo meant to do anything like that. Qatar have made worse tackles than that in this game

PALL-E reposted

Oh no. Gruesome injury for Canada's Ismael Kone. Looks like a clear leg break. Players reacting very concerned. Qatari challenge came in late. Richie Laryea was furious when he saw Kone's leg and went after Qatari player. Canadian players very emotional right now on the pitch.

It's Carson Kelly's turn to go deep, his 3rd of the year. Cubs lead the Rockies 9-2 in the 8th. This is the first time the Cubs have hit 3 homers in a game since April 25 at the Dodgers.

My younger brother and I on the day of Arsenal’s last Premier League trophy lift. We’ll both be in the stadium again today, 22 years on.

Only thing painful about that match was seeing Burnley players clatter us all night with no cards from the ref. I honestly felt we would never concede in that match even if you played another half an hour

I really wish people aspiring to write understood what a competitive advantage being able to write without AI will be in the coming years.

How appropriate for 2025-26 that perhaps the defining game at both ends of the Premier League table is decided by a corner swung into the scrum in the six yards box. West Ham tried the formula Arsenal pioneered. They pushed it too far. It’s a foul and an awful way to decide a game.

An arm extended, one hand on the title - the decision was right - Kavanagh had to referee the moment, not the season - Odegaard the real difference maker - Raya maybe the real player of the season - West Ham show fight - a bad game with cinematic quality www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

I didn’t put this in my piece and perhaps should have. Five games in 15 days, all of existential importance to Arsenal. Not always pretty (but maybe more often than expected) but four wins and a draw in Madrid is a seriously impressive return.
