I also love the idea that a group of people who can’t sort out a workable hand ball rule thought they’d diversify into handing out peace prizes.

You'll be amazed to discover that a bunch of anonymous people that Nigel Farage says definitely do exist, have confirmed that he didn't say any of the things that lots of other people say on the record that he absolutely did

So having leaked the shit out of the "Chelsea & Liverpool are Farke's last chance *snigger*" narrative, how does the ownership react to this surprising but welcome turn of events?

"Bank Security Department" just called.
BSD: Can I take your name and DOB.
Me: You called me. Don't you have that info?
BSD: Sorry no.
Me: Strange. I'd have thought my bank had that on file.
BSD: I'm not calling from your bank. I'm a scammer.
Me: Fair enough.
BSD: Have a nice day.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

So they relied on WordPress plugins to handle security for a market-moving doc, didn't fully understand how the plugins worked, and had them misconfigured. Sounds absolutely plausible. But an institution like the OBR should at a minimum have a decent sysadmin on call for webserver stuff.

If they've got a Chief Security Officer, they have to go.
If they _don't_ have a CSO, then the CEO and/or the board need to walk.
There is no way in the world we'd have got a single contract signed in the last 15 years by any bank or fund manager with systems as slack as this.
Unbelievable.

A vastly improved second half. Not one I think anyone saw coming. Close to getting something, at least.

Goal given. Man City 2-0 Leeds
Would be interested to look back at Foden when he had that shot that led to the corner, wondered if he might be offside. Matters little now.

Farke remains convinced he can turn the tide.
⚪ "17th would be great success."
⚪ “When I judge the objective data, that gives me lots of confidence."
⚪ "We are in the top two, with Man City, for physical output."
⚪ Against NEW, FUL, BOU, TOT, BUR, AVL "(data shows) we were the better side."
