I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

There are so many crimes in this thread you have to wonder what the police and Home Secretary think they are doing at this point.

This is so good. You should also read Tom’s books. (I’m not playing the role of some kind of publishers shill here - I just genuinely enjoy his writing and think when someone finds something good to share they should do so!)

What’s not to love about the league’s highest paid player scoring thanks to the league’s most expensive player being offside to win the game for the league’s most expensive squad backed by the richest owners with the record number of financial charges hanging over them?

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine

Looks like yet another season in which Premier League matches are not being paused in the 79th minute for a respectful silence to commemorate the destruction of Pompeii in 79AD. I've given them the benefit of the doubt for a long time but at this stage it's starting to look downright callous.

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.
Poem title: At the Intersection
 
The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.
 
The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all
 
The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead
 
In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all

Having made my purchase of this book from my local indy bookshop (the fab Griffin Books in Penarth, a top recommendation!) I got neither a signed copy, nor a bookmark. But even in their absence I enjoyed the book a huge amount. Just the right blend of joy, light and beauty - I loved it.

Has anyone asked why each FA needs to get the same amount? Why is FIFA’s cash delivery system the same no matter the need of the FA? What for instance does for example the Guam FA do with $40m? This is clearly not a system fit for any genuine purpose. It simply allows the incumbent to lavish gifts.

Personally, I think we should let every nation in the world take part. Maybe you could start by staging small, local tournaments, and then the teams that progress from that round all head to one main 'host' country one summer every four years to compete in the 'finals'.

My solution to the Balogun controversy? He can play but he must carry a plate of hors d'oeuvres throughout. If he drops any, he's sent off again. Belgian players are allowed to eat the appetisers but one of them contains poison. If a Belgian player dies from food poisoning, Balogun is sent off again

Ok, the Cymru pre-match photos are getting silly now.
Wales men team photo. Three players standing at the back with their arms around each other. 8 players crouched in front. Wales women. 4 players standing at the back. 5 kneeling in front. 10th player kneeling directly in front of them, partially concealing a team mate. 11th player missing. Wales at Women’s Euros 2025. This one’s a mess. 8 players at the back. Seven are standing, one is crouching. Two have arms around each other. In front of, three players are crouching - two are in the middle, with one at the far right. 4 squirrels.
