Visited the new London City Hall in Canning Town today. Nice building. Nice prayer room - pleasantly surprised how accessible it is (in the main foyer) with a proper ablution sink.

Alexander Isak is a great striker. But don't fancy #LFC spending £100m+ on a striker who misses 8-18 matches per season due to injury. No matter how good he is, I'm scarred from high-quality players like Jota, Sturridge & Kewell being injured and negatively impacting our seasons.

It is interesting how ways of working are evolving post-COVID-19.

Why were #Inter wearing their 3rd kit at home? And why was the #Genoa GK wearing the outfield players' home kit?

📚 Now reading #InMyMothersFootsteps by Mona Hajjar Halaby.
A Christian Palestinian teacher of nom-violent communication retracing her mum's childhood before the Nakba.
I'll be honest, I kinda dropped this book as it didn't grab my attention but determined to see it through 💪🏽

That's not to say the "Galactico" era did not have its uses. It put #PSG on the map from a ⚽️ & branding pov (it is ultimately a nation-state soft power project).
The exclusive Nike x Air Jordan collab was more likely to be successful if Neymar was fronting it than lesser known players like Barcola.

NEW #PADEL RACKET!
Treated myself to Augustin Tapia's 2025 #Nox AT10 18k. The right weight (367g), balance & ball output for me.
#Adidas AdiPower Ctrl 3.2 felt top heavy & rigid.
Adidas Metalbone Team Light 3.3 too light.
#Bullpadel Vertex 04 felt good but not enough power & smaller sweet spot.

3rd addition... #ACMilan 125yr anniversary shirt
It features the original club crest which refers to it as a cricket club. The cross is the oldest part, dating back to the Republic of Genova and the Carroccio, a symbol of the Milan commune, which was opposed to the imperial forces.

I felt this. The dehumanisation of Muslim men. Every Muslim man is a suspected terrorist. Every Palestinian man is Hamas.

Wouldn't recommend Adidas padel rackets. They have one major flaw - the wrist strap. Cos it's loose, becomes a faff mid-rally. Lagging behind Bullpadel, Nox etc.
Also modified my Adidas padel racket with a Bullpadel Hesacore grip. Took a while to get used to, but it feels more substantial.

Credit to Enzo Maresca given how shambolic #CFC were last year. Got them beating teams they should beat & quietly climbing the PL table. They have the best squad depth in the top 6, and should be able to ride any injury crisis or individual loss of form. Will be a threat over the marathon season.

Finally invested in a mechanical keyboard! Went for the Lofree Flow 84.
It's gorgeous. Opted for a low profile 84% model cos I value space & minimalism.
It feels premium. And like typing on a cloud (well most things are better than the in-built Macbook keyboard)

- Mocha Java Blend (for those who like mocha)
- Syrups (tastes too artificial)
