I'm watching The Mandalorian and Grogu and it's remarkable how much it suffers from the terrible decision to have Rotta the Hut speak English (and to have Jeremy Allen White, of all people, do the voice)

Re the England game - in a world where people increasingly can't trust their eyes or believe in a shared reality, I very strongly believe we shouldn't let broadcasters surreptitiously replace real pitchside ads with fake digital ones

This is absolutely dogshit stuff. Polanski has no answer for a Labour government actually doing left-leaning things. His goose is cooked

Would you like an antidote to All The Politics? Would you like to know who has won the 2026 Tiny Award for the best small, non-commercial website of the past 12 months (and a small, handmade trophy)? YES YOU WOULD! Thanks to everyone who voted (thousands!), and see you in 2027: tinyawards.net/2026/

How to recruit a modern day secret agent
In the old days it was a tap on the shoulder and an invitation to a clandestine meeting. Nowadays, all you need is social media and a little crypto

I'm reading about the Buffalo Bills' new stadium. The taxpayer paid $850m to it, the average game ticket is $610, and season ticket holders at the old stadium had to pay a one-off fee of $750- $50,000 for the *right* to pay *more* money and buy their new season ticket. Seriously, WHAT IS THE USA?

This article is poor and riddled with factual errors. I'm fed-up of football journalists totally ignoring the Fan-Led Review, and the lower and non-league clubs that lobbied to have an alcohol pilot included as a financial lifeline to stop them going bust www.theguardian.com/football/202...

It's a huge management failure that the FA has a strategy around training age group teams to play possession football (literally called "The England DNA") that the senior team coach doesn't believe in. If Tuchel doesn't buy into the strategy, he shouldn't be in the job inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

What we learned from the great alcohol football debate: - Andy Burnham shooting from the hip is counter-productive - English people love making up a guy to feel superior to ("pint chuckers" ffs) and it should be studied - No football journalist actually read the Fan-Led Review

Manchester City deserve to be liquidated (for their true crime, those fucking horrendous double-decker advertising hoardings)

Alex Wilson @adjwilson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
The extent to which the English have invented the "pint chucker" as a serious social problem based on a couple of viral videos deserves serious study. Much like the "nonce", they have become the phantom menace that we should both be terrified of, and feel righteously superior to.

Absolutely insane refereeing. If Fernandez isn't standing in the middle of the box to go for the ball, he doesn't draw a defender and Haaland isn't free. Surely this is *basic* stuff?

There's a lot of things happening in the Premier League at the moment that is making matchgoing fans feel alienated and like their culture is under threat, and I'm starting to think it's going to radicalise them in a direction you don't want them to be radicalised
