Heartbreak for Musetti. Two sets up and cruising v Djokovic and has to retire. A real, real shame.

Bit out of the loop on Liverpool stuff but the vibe around the club seems so off right now. If they're backing Slot, I think the club HAVE to come out and say it.

Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll to the Titans. Feels like a coup for us.

Melbourne is awesome. And I got to see Nick Kyrgios up close!

The hubris in some of these WWE Unreal clips is off the chain. I've never seen so much confidence from people showing the world how incompetent they are at what they do.

Just had probably my most satisfying checkmate ever, with a pawn push for discovered check.

It's extraordinary how terrified wrestling orgs are of changing a TV format that has been regurgitated for decades, and only to certain degrees of success.

Try something new with fresh faces? Nah, let's do the exact same thing as everyone else... but just way, way worse.
I see the AMC era of TNA Impact is off to the start I expected

is this recent news, or...?

not signing Guehi in the summer was the killer, but i'm not going to get mad at the club for not matching City on stupid money when he's free in 6 months.

in regards to Semenyo, i wonder if the club just have preferences elsewhere. there's no evidence they did more than just kick the tyres on him.
Something is definitely not right behind the scenes at LFC.. We wanted Semenyo and then seemingly pulled the plug. We wanted Guehi but now we’re watching him sort a move to City.
Either we don’t trust Slot or Hughes or possibly even both.

Some words on Manchester Utd - as they continue to stumble under the weight of their empire.

The weight of an empire
Man Utd move on from another manager and another failed project, and return to the warm bosom of ex-player familiarity.

Yes Niall Stanage!
Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?

Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

It's delicious how butt hurt right wing twitter weirdos are about certain people leaving for here.

AEW's roster is so deep and varied but I can't see where the TV hours are to give enough talent enough airtime, nor the creative will to maintain and deliver meaningful story. And the shows are already claustrophobic enough with Don Callis Family.

remember web forums?
"It's not the same as Twitter", friend Twitter isn't the same as Twitter. Old Twitter died years ago, we need to accept that almost no-one under 30 is interested in joining text-based social media - the format will die with us, like floppy discs, Mars Delights, and the concept of hope for the future

Gotta feel for Salah, but Egypt were never in that game. Pretty poor stuff and they were a distant second best.

Netflix bringing podcasts (in video form) onto their platform, as well as adding some of their own, is an interesting move. They know there's a market for people who throw that type of stuff on for background noise. Very easy, very cheap numbers to bolster their stats.

Rio Ferdinand may be the most embarrassing figures in sport. A failed pundit/comms, pivoted to podcast and "content creation" and is just as bad and cringey. The guy is 47, is one of the best defenders ever, and is out here acting like a Tiktoker.
