It’s easy to be a better defender than Trent if you can make tackles getting the man before the ball and it not be a foul.

Think the fans need to take a share of the blame for this. The bad karma from the way Trent was treated has poisoned the well.

I’d be subbing van dijk after yellow card. Angry challenge, awful and unprofessional example from a captain.

On juries….
If you’ve ever been part of one, they lose a bit of their seemingly magical legitimacy.
What’s so significant about 12. Why not 7? Or 17?
The jury spends a lot of time at the beck and call of the judge. I don’t think they are the rate limiters.

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Trump says he won’t stand for election for a third term. (He wouldn’t win anyway).
That is not the same as him not being president after 2028.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social why isn’t the attack line against reform “A bunch of ex-tories and bankers”? It’s true, it’s true of their leader. Neither is popular. It works even better every time there Is a defection. Seems like a no brainer.

Fair to say the data science player recruitment egg heads have some serious questions to answer about what they have do to this title winning side. Brought in a bunch of players that seem to have made us tactically uncomfortable.

@lewisgoodall.com just listening to the latest newsagents. I left Twitter as soon as I felt Elon started pushing for the violent overthrow of the UK gov. Are you still using it? And is there a line Elon can cross that would see you depart it?

What would Orwell think about a huge face on a gigantic screen telling a crowd of people they should wage war on foreigners and dissidents? No way of knowing, I guess.
When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"
So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

Quick question for Trent boo-ers: In a parallel universe, TAA signed the contract. 25/26, a kid emerges from the academy at RB who’s a genuine generational talent. 6’2, defensively brilliant, great engine, great passer, carries the ball at pace. Do you…

If you can’t rely on an Italian side to turn up to an away leg in Europe and keep it tight, I don’t think there’s any certainty left in the World to cling to.

Some pretty nasty stuff from Real Madrid around the ref and the Copa Del Rey final. Feels like UEFA need to get involved with a ban. No else is going to stop it and it’s utterly corrosive.

Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said.
