I saw Savage at Leicester and did wonder how that battle of tactical geniuses would go

It doesn’t much matter if only a small number of men hurt women if the vast majority of “good” ones are unwilling to do anything about it.

I Know Why Cornell Was the Tipping Point
Thirty years ago, my mother told me to never be alone with a group of boys—even if they were my friends.

Yes ADHD and Autism are being over diagnosed. It’s a big game of It. I’ve been breaking into people’s homes, pointing at them while they sit at their kitchen tables and going “NOW YOU HAVE IT” before fleeing. They can’t stop me because of woke. I won’t rest until everyone has been diagnosed.

I hope Nelly Las gets some minutes in the next block of games because Carpenter will need a rest, looking at those Palace and Charlton away games where she’d be most likely to get them.

A hidden list of 100 abusers in Silicon Valley. Left unstated: some are abusing *men* Sam Altman used to date Peter Thiel, known for recruiting young men for sex (one died of suicide). Sam's sex parties are notorious for how hard they go, and the abuse. Three sources told me about this:
nypost.com
Silicon Valley ‘sex assault list’ with ‘over 100 ‘ names circulated, warning female tech workers of predators to avoid
“Some of them were very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors. Businessmen who were in the scene”

West Ham didn’t have a single shot against us. The ideal opponent after you played Arsenal and Lyon back to back.

We’ve been a bit stinky but this is probably our favourite away ground in the WSL

That goal really has come out of nowhere. Think we‘ve been really poor in attacking areas but Malard took that chance well.

Went to Gothenburg in December 2023 for BK Häcken away and had one of the giant cinnamon buns, and I needed to bag up most of it for later consumption as it was so big.

Real Madrid have looked pretty good so far against Manchester City. Linda Caicedo making it 1-0.

Could have even nicked it at the end, pretty good result given we played Arsenal 3 days ago, they’d scored 30 goals in 4 games and didn’t play at the weekend.

I’ve been informed that Lyon still sell Desperados in the ground, the absolute maniacs.

Done fairly well in that first half. Got in behind their left side a few times and just need a bit of better quality in the final third.

I did state on the pod I didn’t think we’d take a tonking from Lyon because I think we can defend, but no McCabe in the squad and Lyon playing all of the forwards has me a bit nervous.

A calamitous penalty for Arsenal to concede. Basically Leah Williamson did the Tyrone Mings handball one. Blown a 2-0 lead and only minutes to go.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Everton were docked 10 points (reduced to 6 on appeal) for missing PSR by £20m over three years. City overstated their income by £900m over 8 years. LOL 270 point deduction coming.
