10 - Bukayo Saka has 10 assists in Arsenal's 13 Premier League games this season; only Cesc Fàbregas in 2014-15 (12), Mesut Özil in 2015-16 (12), and Harry Kane in 2020-21 (11) have reached 10+ assists in fewer of their team's games from the start of a season in the competition. Platter.

I miss top right Messi
Since the start of 2023-24, no player to have played at least 2,000 minutes has a higher average expected assists per 90 than Saka (0.34), while he’s also inside the top 25 for non-penalty expected goals per 90 (0.32).

Ding's champion craft leaves Gukesh without answers in game 1 of World Championship
Ding's middle-game was absolutely incredible, as move-by-move, he tilted the scales in his favour.

The 2024 season was bad for the Indian football team, but 2025 will be far better
The Indian men's football team finished the year 2024 without a single win, but there's still cause for hope in 2025 and the primary reason for that is Manolo Marquez.

As BlueSky grows, some of the bad elements will inevitably follow.
Not telling anyone else what to do, but engaging – even to dunk on them – gives them oxygen. Not for me. 100% mute/block. I don't need to see any of that stuff, and will just unfollow anyone who puts it on my timeline.

Sri Lanka tried RFK Jr.'s food plan, and it was catastrophic. Productivity plummeted, causing food shortages, skyrocketing prices, lost exports, and an economic collapse. Farmers faced huge losses, forcing the government to reverse the ban and import costly emergency food.
