Arteta when Calafiori asks if he should pull out

The leader of a host country, winner of a “peace prize”, telling a qualified participant that they will be in danger if they take part in the World Cup

Griezmann's intelligence/awareness on a pitch is a joy to watch in itself

Today is International Women’s day. Emma Hayes cherishes the #USWNT’s ability to “lean into” inspiring young girls. With Tobin Heath honored yesterday as an all-time great, her journey began years ago with one word: “Dream.” Now it all comes full circle. sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news…

I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today. Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison. Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency. Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it. When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional. This is close to becoming law. Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.

It really can’t be stressed enough how certifiably insane it was to sack Frank and appoint Tudor

FIFA Code of Ethics, Article 14.3: 'Persons bound by this Code shall appreciate the impact their conduct may have on FIFA’s reputation, and shall therefore behave in a dignified and ethical manner and act with complete credibility and integrity at all times.' Article 15.1: 'In dealings with government institutions, national and international organisations, associations and groupings, persons bound by this Code shall, in addition to observing the basic rules of article 14, remain politically neutral, in accordance with the principles and objectives of FIFA, the confederations, associations, leagues and clubs, and generally act in a manner compatible with their function and integrity.' studio.youtube.com/video/vTP1iBjj…

Bluesky is the new science Twitter: new study concludes For the past decade, Twitter has been a primary home of scientists on social media. In recent years, new leadership at Twitter has made substantive changes that have resulted in increases in the prevalence of pseudoscience, conspiracy theory, and harassment on the platform, causing many scientists to seek alternatives. [including me] Survey results overwhelmingly confirm that changes to Twitter have made the social media platform no longer professionally useful or pleasant, and that many scientists have abandoned it in favor of Bluesky. Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter. academic.oup.com/icb/article-ab…

Manchester United belongs to all of its supporters. No fan should feel excluded from following or supporting the club because of their race, religion, nationality or background. Comments from the club’s senior leadership should make inclusion easier, not harder.

Slot appears to want fouls given based on the past quality of the player and I think this is a fabulous idea. "After review, Teemu Pukki was indeed punched in the nads, but he hasn't scored in the PL since Boris Johnson was Prime Minister. Decision: no goal."

In the BBC this morning setting the scene for deadline day - what's been spent, what could happen, and what might impact the summer (Saudi)

Anthony Gordon does the presser, says #UCL teams player proper football while the PL is all about set-pieces. Gets dropped, then Newcastle score from a free-kick lumped forward from halfway.

this should only be read in the voice of Mr Burns saying "The very idea of a talking banana is absurd! Still..." sportingnews.com/uk/football/ma…

It's November 2027. Manchester United have just replaced Michael Carrick with interim manager Travis Binnion after a 4-1 loss to promoted Millwall.

Haven't stopped smiling

What the fuck is wrong with you? You have no idea who this woman was. You have no idea what she believed. You have no idea what an actual investigation might show. A 37-year-old American citizen was killed. Her 6-year-old son has been orphaned. Her family and friends are going through the worst moment of their lives. And all you can do is call her a "deranged leftist"? Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

@davidlynchlfc Only if you display the right level of Passion, Desire, Commitment

@JoeWright004 And if they let me on television, I'll say it, too.

there are people on actual television saying Roy Keane should be appointed Manchester United manager so I think it's time to have a serious conversation about whether humankind should be allowed to continue

The first man specifically appointed #MUFC men's head coach, not manager, says he joined the club to be manager, not coach. Amorim made a bad team worse and was given a new £200m front 3 in summer. He hasn't earned the right to go on the attack like this sportingnews.com/uk/football/ma…
