@StokeMark @FBAwayDays Yeah, call a 10yr old a glory hunter. If my dad had supported West Ham, am sure I'd have followed suit, but he didn't, so I didn't and here we are.
Do one.

@learning_yohei Pick one and stick with it. Consistency is what matters.
Personally, the left is the correct way, the right is for the lazy (and frankly pronounced differently. )

@TukiFromKL The VC funding model is deeply broken. The sooner it's replaced by tokenized fund raising, the better.
Put the power back in the hands of the LPs. Screw vultures.

🚨 Do you understand what Peter Thiel just funded..
the guy who built Palantir.. military-grade AI surveillance for the Pentagon, the CIA, ICE..
he just led a $2 billion round.. for a cow collar..
Halter.. a New Zealand startup that puts GPS collars on cows and herds them with vibrations and audio cues.. valued at two billion dollars.. they literally call it a "cowgorithm".
the man who builds software that tracks humans across borders.. just decided tracking cows across fields is worth the same investment.. lol!
cancer research gets defunded.. clean water startups can't close a seed round.. but a cow GPS backed by the guy who killed Gawker gets a $2B valuation..
VCs don't fund what matters anymore.. they fund what sounds good in a deck with "AI" on the cover slide..

JUST IN: AI cow collar startup Halter raises at $2,000,000,000.00 valuation, uses proprietary “cowgorithm” to herd cattle.

Good result for Chelsea: club fined only £10m and given a suspended transfer ban after Premier League found 36 separate undisclosed payments totalling £47.5m made “to 12 persons or entities on behalf of the club”. Lenient sanctions. No sporting sanctions. Yet these are serious offences, as the sanction agreement between the PL and Chelsea makes clear, stating “they were not only obvious and deliberate breaches of the rules but also because they involved deception and concealment in relation to financial matters”.
Yet no points deductions. Just a manageable (if record) fine and a “suspended one-year first-team player transfer ban (suspended for two years)”. Surely they gained a sporting advantage by recruiting such players? So surely a sporting sanction should be in order? And where's the consistency? In 2008, Luton Town received a 10-point deduction for irregularities in dealing with agents (nb from FA). There still could be some further sanctions by the FA following its "ongoing investigation".
PL points to mitigating factors: current owners Clearlake/Todd Boehly in May 2022 voluntarily self-reported potential historical breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. Club co-operated extensively and helped provide (with others) 10,000 documents for PL investigation.
PL established “that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties”. Payments related to the purchases of players including Eden Hazard, Willian, Samuel Eto’o, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic - there is no suggestion any were aware of the illicit payments.
The detailed work of the investigators – and level of Clearlake’s co-operation – is impressive. The sanctions less so. It is a legitimate debate: should a club be punished for offences under a previous owner? Yes, most fans of other clubs would scream. It's a deterrent. And the value of those players' contribution and subsequent sales arguably still benefits the club.
PL also investigated “potential breaches of the Premier League’s Youth Development Rules, committed by a former senior employee, relating to the club’s registration of Academy players between 2019 and 2022”. Again, self-reported by the club, this time in 2025. Chelsea punished with £750,000 fine and immediate nine-month ban from registering academy players from PL and EFL clubs. #CFC

@DerbyCityPhil I've only ever tasted it once, in a bar in Texas, since then it's been a mythical hunt for it..

What do we think, whiskey fam?
If these are 1 ounce pours…
If they’re 2 ounce pours though…

@jondelarroz Bollocks.
It's about the character, not the colour of their skin or their gender or their sexual preference.
Great characters, that you can empathise with make great films worth watching.
If this had been Zoe Zaldana, I still would have watched it.

War Machine hitting #1 on Netflix is a lesson to Hollywood: sci-fi action viewers want a strong, white, male lead.
Do you agree?

@SceneSnatcher Intense all the way through. Definitely worth watching on large screen with full sound on.
