We were visiting friends today so I didn’t touch my phone.

Just watched the European Champs! What. A. Race.

Always fan of Toon!

Super strong ride by Wyseure, Hendrickx, Ronhaar, Mason.

So many twists and turns!

What a thriller!!

Plus points: Tempo & turnovers, more entertainment

Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50

That is an absolute catastrophe as it looks like Jac Morgan is going to be done for at least a few weeks.

Was outstanding this afternoon, a truly world class operator #WALvARG

🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end
First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left
Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers

Wales kick off the Steve Tandy era against Argentina at the Principality Stadium.

Their last competitive win in Cardiff was against Los Pumas in 2022.

Kickoff at 3:10pm, updates and match report to follow. #WALvARG

See below for a sequence of separate tweets (not a thread, unhelpfully) from @mrmujac who chronicles and authors books on the the #MUAcademy about the consecutive games with a youth player in the 1st XI match day squad being in danger…or not: (screenshots in reverse order, alt text in order)

IMO Jonathan Marcus is a rare voice of reason on the #BBC #bias debate. The first duty of journalism is to get as near to the truth as is humanly possible. But to do so, personal views of *any* kind, inc those of the right of centre, must be set aside, so that stories are approached *fairly*.

BBC News/ Politics have absolutely given up on ‘getting near to the truth’ for false equivalence in the name of ‘balance’. You might have 100 experts saying one thing, and a partisan politician saying the opposite, and those opposite views are presented with equal weight

Legs and mind tiring every game and subs not working out well. Hopefully turn it around in the months ahead. A coach focusing solely on the subs could help with prep, may sound a lot but it’s the little things that help.

Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.”

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Where are the protests?
Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.

I wonder why.

Are there any more Mbeumos out there?

If so we should snap them all up.

Fair play to United staying unbeaten in that block of games since the last international break. Maybe should’ve been better too, which is also a positive
November 8, 2025 at 2:37 PM
Another set piece goal from united. Good to see
November 8, 2025 at 2:33 PM
I’d have taken a draw pre game, and definitely with 2 minutes to go… but it’s disappointing that for the 2nd game running we’ve not kept hold of a half time lead
