You wouldn't think it from the reactions tonight but Man City and Arsenal have both taken 13 points from their respective last eight Premier League matches.

The players have to put this behind them and go and win on Sunday. We're five points clear, the title is still in our own hands.

2 costly points dropped by Arsenal, as they blew a 2-nil lead to draw 2-2 to Wolverhampton. This is a big blow to the title chances, as Arsenal are 5 up on Manchester City. They blew numerous chances to put the game to bed.

4. It was during this shift that Roberts darkly announced that his solution to being transgender was simple: "You outlaw it," and that the organization was working to ban gender-affirming care at all ages through an incremental process he described as "radical incrementalism."

3. During his appearance, he echoed usual far-right anti-transgender talking points, including linking being transgender to being inherently violent. Then, the conversation turned towards what the Heritage Foundation was working on when it comes to the future of transgender people.
