I’d put good money on Manchester United sacking Carrick this week and trying to poach Cesc Fabregas. Every single move that club makes is reactive, it’s why they’re in such a state.

“Components crisis?”

Looks like Eurojank is back on the menu boys. This really sounds like the Gothic series but made with current tech.

Developers already do their fine tuning when they actually make their assets. This is just offloading more work onto them to work around your yasified filters.

With the Steam Deck and Steam OS having already brought me into Linux, this could be what pushes me over the edge on my PC.

What's the over/under on the number of studios they shutter in the next three months. I'm at five.

Leinster in big trouble against Italy at half-time here. #SixNations #Ireland

Bill’s not wrong.

What’s wrong babe? You’ve barely touched your Italian style Pizza Nuggets.

This current Liverpool side me so much of Van Gaal’s Manchester United. Lots of useless possession in places that the other team are happy to let them have it with no cutting edge at all and always a mistake at the back. #lfc

The Enhanced Games have got two of the men's 4x100m medley relay team. What they really should do now is get the other two and fit them all out with cybernetics that let them transform into a giant, ultimate swimmer.

The funny thing is, this is Salah’s best attack all season.

Really not sure how the second remake of near 25-year game is what’s going to bring people back to Halo.

I’d love to think that Ireland could build on this display and I think they will beat Armenia, but more than any other team I’ve ever seen, Ireland match the level of their opponents. Playing a FIFA top ten ranked team? They’ll raise their game. Playing a side they should beat? They’re rubbish.

It’s the hope that kills you. #PorIrl #COYBIG

From the moment that Atleti equalised, you just knew Liverpool were going to win it in injury time. They’re inevitable. #LIVATM

Surprised he didn’t hold out for another run at the Manchester United job.

God forbid a man have a hobby.

Solskjaer sacked by Besiktas just in time to take another run at the Manchester United job.

With storylines aplenty, season 34 of the show known at The Premier League promises more betrayal, heartbreak, and dramatic stare-downs than the last four decades of Eastenders. www.rte.ie/sport/soccer...

That’s got to be encouraging for EA and Dice. Really want this to be the game that puts Battlefield back on the map, even if I don’t get to try it out this time around.

The 1975 - music for people who think Coldplay are just a bit too edgy. #glastonbury

Does anyone actually know a The 1975 fan? I mean they must exist but this is like Phil Collins on ketamine. #glastonbury

Plays really well on the Steam Deck too. Absolute bargain at €20.

Finally! Time for all that shotgun rolling to pay off at last.

The Club World Cup, The World Cup and the Olympics are going to be played out in front of empty stadiums. Who’d risk going there?

Not looking good for the Club World Cup. We have fans that won’t be there, players that don’t want to be there and clubs that are only there for the money.

How a false claim about a Donegal church fire went viral - and the network of anonymous accounts using outrage, disinformation, and profit-driven tactics to target Ireland online

Wasn’t Bobby Francis part of Richie Apriles’ crew in the Sopranos? Big swing from that to being the Pope. #pope

Trent playing like he was out on the piss until the early hours of the morning. #LFC #BouLiv

Still surprised Arsenal aren’t in for him on loan. He could get a dozen goals there between now and the end of the season that would be hugely beneficial for them.

Coleman as Everton manager is brilliant! Hasn’t been a proper player-manager for years. Surely Sligo are due a few quid as an add-on fee here too? Ply 100 games, qualify for Europe, becoming the manager, that kind of thing. www.rte.ie/sport/soccer... #Everton #Coleman

Liverpool behind and that’s all down to Trent. Gave the ball away with a lazy pass out of defence and then didn’t do enough to get back. #LIVMUN

That’s a tough one to take. Ireland will feel they left that one behind and didn’t show the best of themselves in that second leg. They offered so little going forward until they were already 2-0 down. #IrlWal

Anna Patten has been Ireland’s stand out playing over these two legs. If we manage to pull this one back, it’ll be down to her. #IrlWal #IrelandWNT

As Alisson Becker nears a return, what next for Caoimhín Kelleher? Could the Irish international be forcing a rethink into the goalkeeping situation at Anfield? www.rte.ie/sport/soccer... #RTEsport #LiverpoolFC

The duality of Darwin Nunez perfectly summed up by the first 30 minutes against Aston Villa. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another player that reminds me so much as Diego Forlan.

All hail King Ole the Second! It’s going to be hilarious, van Nistelrooy will go on a good run until Christmas, get a three year contract and things will fall apart again before they eventually get in Southgate.

Bluesky feels like a retirement home for people who has Bebo and MySpace.

Even as a short term option, Arsenal should be making enquiries about Lewandowski from Barca. They’re skint enough to accept and he’d do a job at the Emirates for a year at least.

Still hard to see past Man City for the league, given their tendency to going on a big run in the second half of season and getting De Bruyne back, but January could be a very interesting transfer window, especially if Villa give Emery funds.

All the talk about Liverpool missing Salah as he goes off to AFCON is absolutely but they’re going to miss Endo just as much. He’s really slotted into midfield and offered some steel over the last two months. #lfc

Got to say, I didn’t have Scott McTominay becoming United’s new Cantona on my bingo card for this year. #MUNCHE

This is pretty much a dream match-up. So many stone wall classics to dig into.

I think it’s time to finally admit to myself that the Marks and Spencer’s Christmas special lobster rolls are never coming back.

Shane McGowan has left the stage, leaves behind a great legacy of music and a Christmas song that you’ll never get fed up of hearing.
