"Maybe I was confused." 😮‍💨 Throwback to this Pep Guardiola dressing room speech to the Man City players after a 2-0 loss to Southampton in the Carabao Cup in 2023. They won the treble that season. Arguably the best coach of all-time for a reason 🐐

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

I’m afraid to say this is absolute class

Heated race debate leaves Eni Aluko speechless!

Jeremy Kyle: Why is everything so personal nowadays?!

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍 After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires. Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

@FabrizioRomano The World Cup only wanted Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BBC Sport have just done a feature on what football will be like 2036. Back in 1994, on the football show Standing Room Only, they looked at the future of the game. This one from 32 years ago was more serious.

Rather see this btw than fucking centre halves falling over at the slightest touch and long throw ins and weird corners…

Love how he’s rattled all the plastics hahaha

Ridiculous when you think about it. No other club gets this level of speculation about their players

You get to a level where this becomes a norm and nobody is even talking about it. Harry Kane’s standards are out of this world.

Joelinton 😎 #UCL

Is Lewis Hall legitimately the best player in the world?

What a player. 💫

Reminder, they scrapped Soccer AM for this shower of shite

Funny you didn't post this when Liverpool or Chelsea played them.

Newcastle have drawn City in a cup competition in 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025 and now 2026. Can someone better than me please do the maths on the odds of that please? I’m willing to bet its genuinely thousands to one btw. #NUFC

Grooming gangs are raping young girls, but don’t worry the UK is going to use the correct pronouns for milk.

football isn’t dead, we’re all just watching way too much arsenal
