@BlueShefford @LCFC Well, the one thing we've been good at this season is tripping Ipswich up, so can't see that changing!

🇪🇺 Last night, Leicester City were relegated to League One, the third tier of English football. This puts them into a group of six clubs that have played in the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Champions League, then proceeded to be relegated to the third tier of their nations football pyramid. But who are these six clubs? In this thread, I will tell you each of their stories. THREAD 🧵

Wages will be out of our league, but John Stones on a free transfer is the sort of defender we will need next season.

@bnjmnlilly @mattyglesias I feel exactly the same about people who bring their elderly parents places. They move so slow and need everything in giant font. Just put them in a care home already!

@mattyglesias I feel the same way about people bringing their babies and toddlers to restaurants. Get a sitter like everyone used to do or stay home.

I am appalled by recent attempted antisemitic arson attacks in North London.  This is abhorrent and it will not be tolerated. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.  We are increasing visible policing and those responsible will be found and brought to justice. We will not rest in the pursuit of perpetrators.

@keithdunn Would have been nice if some of the football associations would stand up to this. But they were all yellow.

The 2026 @FIFAWorldCup Final will feature a "halftime show" for the first time in history, FIFA President Gianni Infantino tells @maxwelltani, revealing it will be "curated by Chris Martin and Coldplay." "I cannot yet tell you which artists will be performing, but it's not one, it's more than one. And it will be the biggest in the world. It will be fantastic."

This is interesting. I wonder what tennis players do that gives them 6 more years than swimmers? You have to wonder is demographic has any bearing because I’d suggest exercise & sensible eating regardless of sport adds quality of life & very possibly years!
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people. Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade. The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds. Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2. Tennis almost triples jogging. A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%. The question is why racket sports destroy everything else. Three mechanisms stack on top of each other. First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system. Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline. Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%. Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community. Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@thefoxesarms Whatever the wording, our seasons highlight, as we go down into League 1 and Cov get into the Prem, is that one game where we stopped them scoring. Back to the good ol' days...

@DrDiGiorgio Simply quantitatively ease the other 40 appointments into existence. Basic economics!

“Read this book” isn’t an argument, it’s a deferral. If you have a point, make it. State the claim, give the reasoning, and defend it. Appealing to a book is just borrowing authority without doing the work. It shifts the burden onto the other person to reconstruct your position for you. A serious argument stands on its own. If the idea is sound, you should be able to explain it clearly and defend it without outsourcing it to a reading list.

@mjshrimper @KieranMaguire Agree. And no shame in being wrong. Most of us thought it would eliminate mistakes. It didn't. But not many were prepared for the second order effect of killing the soul of the game. Fine tk say "we tried this thing, we thought it would work. It didn't. Let's go back"

I admit it - I thought VAR would make a positive difference. I was wrong. I think we should scrap it. Not tweak it. Just scrap it. Looks like a lot of you agree. nytimes.com/athletic/71560…

50 miles on the new #nike trainers and they’re coming apart. How good are they at honouring returns as that’s some awful manufacturing. @Nike
