Joe Stanley-Smith

@therealfunnyjoe @AlfieHouseEcho I think he's a good player at this level and can be important for us, particularly given our squad's lack of leadership and experience. No agenda here; it's just a dumb, needlessly whiny statement that does nothing to dispel the rumours he undermined Still.

@HeavyMetalTax @AlfieHouseEcho I think your post and attitude proves that nothing he does or says would influence you to view him positively.

Just spoke to Jack Stephens and he said he has absolutely nothing to do with that manager riff report. “I'm open to criticism and opinions of me on the pitch, but when people question my character that really hurts, because it is just so far away from the truth.” #SaintsFC

You know when you'd read articles tracking people from normal right-wing views being radicalised online to acts of racist violence? This website is like watching it play out in real time on mass scale. Some i've followed for several years now push extreme right talking points

Do I want to read the article first? Wrote it, mate.

@GrantSlatton but then you have fandom, which straddles both

Feels like one of the sharpest self-segregations are people with mainly consumptive vs productive hobbies Both groups really don't understand or interact much with the other

Will be heading to Rio de Janeiro for the G20 next week. If you're going to be there, hit me up.

@santhiegoundar I feel like even when trying to feel included in France/Britain's trend of calling snap elections which will obviously be disastrous, this doesn't qualify. What is "snap" about an election that will (probably) happen in 2-4 months!?

@HeavyMetalTax I guess they felt left out 😂

Incredibly selfish behaviour by the German government to collapse when half of the European media ecosystem was awake at 5 or 6am this morning politico.eu/article/german…

I'm editing the live blog for the confirmation hearing for migration Commissioner-designate @magnusbrunner tonight, with @NicholasVinocur, @MaxGriera and @hclae (check out her graphics!) writing. Follow along here: politico.eu/article/europe…

We're just over half way through Dubravka Šuica's European commissioner grilling in front of the European Parliament. Here's a vibe check from @EddyWax 👇 Head to our live blog for more reporter analysis: trib.al/JrdshhC

Israeli justice minister calls for 20-year prison sentence for citizens promoting sanctions against the state. It follows Amos Shocken - the publisher of Isreal’s left leaning ⁦⁦@haaretzcom⁩ - saying international Govts must sanction Israel. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/israel…

@1goodtern I feel like 20 is far too small a sample size and in any case there are many other factors in play. You can't just attribute any old change to covid.

No one could have predic.... oh.

🔥 Which aspect of elite sport is getting hit hardest by repeat covid infections? Look at this graph of average ages of EPL managers over 15 years. "Covid is much more likely to have a damaging effect for older coaches, managers, trainers... than for younger elite athletes."

All I could think of while I was editing this piece was how upset the Twitter Suit Guy was going to be if any of King Felipe's clothes were damaged @dieworkwear politico.eu/article/furiou…

Saudi Arabia says it's open to using the petroyuan for oil settlements.

Fondly remembering when Bernie Sanders’ suggestion a multi-billionaire owning the Washington Post influenced its coverage was dismissed as a crackpot Trumpian conspiracy theory

BBC News reports that the journalists in south Lebanon thought they were safe because they had been giving their location to UN troops who were passing it on to the Israelis. It turns out the Israelis used that information to bomb them.

A mostly nondisabled friend looked at me the other day and said "I'm not sure how I feel about assisted dying but it's interesting that if anyone else is suicidal we do everything to stop them but if they're disabled we want to help them" yeah, I can't stop thinking about that

Just two years ago … how the debate has changed in Brussels on migration since then!
