Academy players only tonight please! All kidding aside, some players need minutes & it makes sense to use them. Players like Zubi, Mosquera, (maybe hincapie) could use minutes. Max obviously should start. But other than that I’ll be annoyed if first team players are involved

When I first moved here in 2013, I'd go on runs and blow black soot out of my nose afterwards. The air quality and general sense of greenness about the city has completely transformed.

There's an interview with Declan Rice on youtube and KSI asks him what activity outside football has given him the biggest adrenaline rush... ...He answered 'You Me Bum Bum Train'. Your CDM could never.

The foxes that loiter around the pitch where our football team trains have taken to eating through our bags and shoes. Last night one feasted on my adidas trainers. Fuming. Foxes, I was your hypeman... why u do dis

In Ugly: A Letter to My Daughter, I write about the difficult experience of growing up aesthetically misaligned with my “prom queen” mom and how my queerness exacerbated my sense of ugliness.

Oh, this is just awful. Poor Beth Dobbin. I remember watching that interview after her false start and wanted to hug her. We really need to get to grips with ME, long Covid post-viral syndromes generally. What a fucking awful situation for her. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

bbc.co.ukBeth Dobbin: British Olympic sprinter in bed for 22 hours a day after ME diagnosisBeth Dobbin ran for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Five years on, she is largely bedbound after being diagnosed with ME, a devastating illness for which there is no cure.

And suddenly it’s boiling hot again? Everyone just seems able to wear the same autumn wear and look comfortable and I’m back in a t shirt and shorts sweating cobs 😭😭😭😭

Today’s kids won’t have their first crushes on animated characters because they all look like round edged Bratz dolls. No one will know what it’s like to simp for Pocahontas’ best mate with her workman’s arms and cute fringe or a skinny fox in a raggedy ass tunic.

I don’t have main character energy I have Glup Shitto energy. I’m the annoying side character with over energetic vocal tics you find funny for a little bit but quickly wish would just fuck off.

I think if the state is allowed to try and murder you but fails you should automatically be granted complete clemency. But I also think the state shouldn't be allowed to murder you. Etc.

Never heard the like of this in any sort of legal verdict before after someone was found to be so fucking guilty.

“Restorative justice” does not mean he is then owed an audience, or the audience he had prior to us learning about this. And this says nothing of my empathy for his victim who perhaps had to deal with the yearslong public praise for her rapist and now all this shit.

Wow, massive start for #CelebrityTraitors. Season 2 premiere was watched by 8.9m viewers on the BBC, nearly 3m up from last year. A record season premiere rating for the show.

Reports indicate Manchester City's appeal will question the independent panel's finding that Sheikh Mansour was unaware of 'sham' deals, arguing it is implausible that around £830M of his own funds were used without his knowledge.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

apnews.comTennessee governor halts executions after Christa Gail Pike survives lethal injection attemptMedia witnesses say Tennessee officials were unable to carry out the execution of Christa Gail Pike for a 1995 murder on Wednesday.

Sometimes you remember in America the state is legally allowed to murder people and it all makes sense. Depraved people.

Imagine being a healthcare provider and a botched “death penalty” victim is brought into your ER. This is so depraved

my initial read on the Cornell 7 case is that we’re likely to have an overdue national conversation about the voluntary intoxication loophole.

Pretty fucking different scenario here Andy

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham: ​"Everton faced a similar scenario a few years ago, and as you may recall, I advocated on their behalf—I firmly maintain that they were not treated fairly throughout that process."
