Jesus. Let’s see if Blair will resign.
Russia says President Putin has been invited to join Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza.
Astonishing to invite one of history’s most egregious warmongers on to a peace board. The international rules are already in the bin.

That clear Forest handball that VAR didn’t give is so frustrating when you compare to Aaronson v Newcastle jumping looking in other direction. The inconsistency is ridiculous.

I just cannot see why Farke thinks Okafor is a better choice than Gnonto. He’s a one trick pony and that trick has not been effective for months.

FFS. At least it’s the transfer window, Paraag? Hello?
Farke to BBC pre-match: “Anton has an adductor strain, we hope to have him back for Everton. Jaka has a hamstring strain, which may be a bit longer." #lufc

A few points on Greenland: - Miller got every point wrong (Inc confusing international waters and the EEZ);- assume the US uses troops. Good luck with that - even landing on Greenland is tough plus no armour (no roads) and no air cover; there will be a v pissed off and capable population 1/n

Al Hilal en Barça niet uitonderhandeld na Cancelo-deal: Saudi's bieden 100 miljoen
Al Hilal en Barça niet uitonderhandeld na Cancelo-deal: Saudi's bieden 100 miljoen
De laatste onderhandelingen tussen Al Hilal en FC Barcelona gingen niet enkel over João Cancelo. De club uit Saudi-Arabië heeft zich in de huurdeal rondom de vleugelverdediger coulant opgesteld in de hoop een speler in ruil te mogen verwelkomen. Zo willen de sjeiks van de rijke club 100 miljoen euro neer gaan leggen voor Raphinha : 80 miljoen aan vaste som en 20 miljoen aan bonussen. Door de aanhoudende financiële druk overweegt Barça de verkoop serieus, al zouden de Catalanen zich wel bewust zijn van de potentiële sportieve aderlating. (Fichajes)

I presume he needs a redemption arc too?
Five months later than first hoped, Leeds United are close to finalising a loan deal for Facundo Buonanotte. The 21-year-old's head was turned by Chelsea last August, while his Leeds-bound plane idled on the runway.
Significant reinforcement in the final third. The left-footer they wanted. #lufc

The proposed deal would see the attacking midfielder's Chelsea loan ended early to allow his move to Elland Road.

I’d have thought having arrogance would be well suited to that club! A more self-entitled arrogant fan base you could not find.

Think this shows we need a bit more depth in the fullback positions in the squad. I just cannot understand why we only have one player in the u21s who is good enough for a bench spot. What is going on in the youth development?

I repeat, Okafor isn’t good enough. May as well not be playing.

This is the insanity of the current Labour approach. You are kneecapping the economy by slashing immigration to appease voters who hover between Tory and Reform, and yet they don’t even believe your numbers anyway…plus you’ve just alienated your actual supporters
Two-thirds of UK voters wrongly think immigration is rising, poll finds.
Net migration to the UK fell by more than two-thirds to a post-pandemic low in the year ending June 2025, but 67% of the people polled thought it had increased
