Hadn't quite appreciated FF's slippage here. Pic 1, Champo table Boxing Day, Cov 8 points clear of Boro, 13 above third; Pic 2, 8 games & 8 points later, table today.
Monday's game vs the smoggies is massive... lose & #itfc could soon replace them in automatic places 😳
Not #lufc but blimey. #utb

In Iceland he is known as something like the most extensive private property owner alive. Not in wealth or Icelandic businesses, but just good old fashioned land. He owns vast swathes of the Icelandic countryside. So his rhetoric about colonialism have caught some attention.

Looking at 24/25 after 26 games. #lufc same pts now as Stretford Reds then.
Pre-season question was if a promoted team was to stay up, which established Prem club would they finish above? WHU & Wolves (about to go on a 6W run) were 16th & 17th
Spurs took just 5 points from their last 12 games 😳...

Who'd've thought ol' Nige would be in there. One of his besties being a BFF of Epstein. #TruePatriot
Imagine if Keir Starmer’s name was in the Epstein files.
But no it’s Farage’s. So nothing to see here.

This mini-thread is a classic of the shot-shot-chaser genre. Spat out my prosecco at the third post 😆
my last Epstein scoop for the weekend:
Jeffrey Epstein wired $150,000 to Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, in 2001, according to newly released financial records, after helping her to cash in share options earned from her work for Weight Watchers.

You have to say that is magnificent
Forest away at Braga:
* lost 1-0
* oppo didn't have a shot on target
* Forest scored an own goal
* missed a penalty
* Elliot Anderson got straight red for bad language
* if they'd won, Forest would likely finish in top 8
* they now face a two-leg play-off

Around a million Syrians have returned since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024.
And every day at Damascus airport, families separated by years of war and dictatorship, are finally being reunited.
