How cool is this? Our partners @Daktronics welcoming @21stCentury_Evo team to the Santiago bernabeu stadium last Saturday before the Real Madrid vs Villarreal game. You can count on us for all your small to enterprise scale LED needs.

Tiger Woods has been released on bail after being charged with driving under the influence following his involvement in a car crash in Florida.

How did a full goat become 150k in this country? That’s the money we used to spend on a full Ram. Now we are spending money monthly on protein that is good enough to buy a cow.

So Noni got injured?

What’s wrong in park view with network. For 4 weeks now or more. Are masts turned off?

My son died. I know he didn't contribute anything to mankind — he was only two months old — but I like to believe he was destined to do something good for humanity. It's been a while since his death, and I hate to dwell on it so publicly, but I wanted you to know him.

Fixtures scattered.

This is an advantage to pile pressure if we know what we are doing..

Our home fixture against Manchester City will now take place on Monday 4 May after being selected for live television broadcast. 🔵

🚨 Bristol City confirm Roy Hodgson takes over as new head coach until the end of the season. 78 year old manager, ready to help Bristol City from now to June.

Interesting statistic. Only 8 players have reached double digits in the Premier League for goals with 7/8 games left to play. Last season, there were 25 players with at least ten PL goals.

Arsenal fans were asking Gyokeres to come deep and collect the ball to perform magic. Was it Mbappe we bought or didn’t know the profile of the player we purchased?

How did 10 man France kill Brazil like that?

People want to compare Henry and Salah now? LMAO. I know it’s been 20 years but don’t do it. You know what’s funny? I think the folks in Titi’s era weren’t even serious enough with football because look at what he did with Pires on the penalty against Man City. Can you ever try that with Pep, Klopp or Arteta now at 1-0? If Henry was as serious or crazy with numbers the way people are now with Messi and Ronaldo then we will be talking of at least 220 to 230 PL goals and not 175. How many penalties did he pass on to others? He played only 25 In 02/03, he scored 32 and assisted 28 in all comps as a striker. Half of those assists, he could have converted easily if he was just a tiny bit more greedy. He is the only player in premier league history with 20 goals and assists. He did it effortlessly. There is a reason it has not been replicated. There is no player in premier league history with Thierry Henry’s aura. Maybe Eric Cantona comes a little close. Football has changed now because of the money involved so no margin for error or banter. Players can’t celebrate properly. Players can’t try stuff. In those days, too much banter in training you can see it in the games. Managers didn’t lose their jobs like they do now after 3 games. I can only imagine if Henry played now with Pep and Klopp and the crazy demands of the PL, the numbers will be ridiculous.

Olivia Smith and Taylor Hinds were part of the Liverpool side that knocked Arsenal out of the #AdobeWomensFACup in last season's quarter-final 😲 Now, they're part of the @ArsenalWFC squad taking on Brighton & Hove Albion at the same stage this year 💪

Again, all we can ask is that our players be allowed to play with freedom. Player for player, we were better than City in that carabao final and to play the way we did in the second half is just sad. Ake could not believe his luck. We didn’t test the full backs. Khusanov that is usually rash and was on a yellow didn’t even have any worry. If we want to do well in the champions league, we need to brave. We cannot wait till we have our backs against the wall before we start trying. The first half of the 2nd leg against PSG from last season is the level we must aim for in big games.

Gyokeres is a gun man. The stats speak for themselves. If we don’t supply him, it’s all on us then. We cannot continue to look for excuses.

1996. Steve Jobs is asked on television what went wrong at Apple. He hasn't worked there in over a decade. Within a year, Apple will buy his company NeXT and bring him back. Within 18 months, he'll be running the place. He doesn't know that yet. Nobody does. At this point, he's running NeXT, a small software company, and Pixar, which just released Toy Story. Apple is falling apart. The stock is collapsing. The company has lost over a billion dollars. Its market share has dropped from 18% to around 4%. WIRED will put Apple's logo on its cover, wrapped in barbed wire, with the word "Pray." The interviewer asks Jobs what happened. His answer is one paragraph, and it's basically the entire turnaround strategy he'll execute a year later. He says when he left Apple ten years earlier, they were ten years ahead of everybody else. It took Microsoft a full decade to copy what Apple had built. But Apple stopped. "Even though it invested cumulatively billions in R&D, the output has not been there, and people have caught up with it." He says Apple's advantage over Microsoft has eroded. And then this: "The way out is not to slash and burn. It's to innovate. That's how Apple got to its glory, and I think that's how Apple could return to it." When Apple bought NeXT in December 1996 and brought Jobs back as an advisor, things got worse before they got better. By September 1997, Apple was about 90 days from running out of money. The board made Jobs the interim CEO. He cut 70% of the product line, but not to save money. He cut it so the remaining 30% could be great. He launched Think Different. He built the iMac. Then the iPod. Then iTunes. Then the iPhone. Then the iPad. Every single one of those products was the "innovate, don't slash and burn" philosophy from this interview, applied over and over for 14 years. He also says something in this interview that stands out. He says the most exciting thing in software is the internet, and the reason is "no one owns it. It's a free-for-all. It's much like the early days of the personal computer." He says if any one company gets a dominant position, "the rate of innovation is going to drop precipitously." He's talking about Microsoft. But he could be talking about 2026. Apple is worth about $3.7 trillion today. When this interview was filmed, Apple was worth about $3 billion and falling fast. Jobs walked back into Apple nine months later with no title, no authority, and the same diagnosis he gave on camera in this clip. Video: Steve Jobs Television Interview, 1996. Original broadcast footage.

Many players will leave when Pep leaves. Rodri is skillfully laying the foundation.

Very good nonsense.

Our crackdown on visa abuse is now in force. From today, study visas will be refused for applicants from Sudan, Afghanistan, Cameroon and Myanmar. We will always offer sanctuary to those genuinely fleeing danger, but we must stop those exploiting our generosity.
