Given the way the football calendar goes these days, it was inevitable we'd need to rely on backups at various positions throughout this season. But LW was the most obvious area where we left ourselves short & now we're gonna see just how effective Eze can be in that position.

Not proud of it, but I once got creative and registered a team of 20-year-olds in a U10s tournament. Other coaches kept saying things like "you can't use them" and "they have beards" and "I think that's Myles Lewis-Skelly." But whatever happened behind the scenes, the game is won on the pitch.

Very interesting, but debatable take. In global terms, despite the glut of titles*, Man City are now tainted to such an extent that their commercial value will have nosedived anyway; and it's not as if the PL would suddenly lose its main/only locomotive, like Serie A did when Juve were demoted.

It’s so obvious they didn’t stop cheating. It’s basically a straight line. They went from 97m of real revenue to 227m in one year? Bullshit.

So after years of insisting to the point of demanding corrections of anyone saying Manchester City is owned by the UAE and not a private investment of “his highness” sheikh Mansour, City will now insist in its appeal that City is actually owned by the UAE. Riiiggghhht then. 🥸

Between October 2023 and April 2024, Israel dropped more explosives on Gaza than were dropped on London, Dresden, and Hamburg combined during all of WWII. The destruction of Rafah, which I believe is the city in this picture, did not begin until May 2024.

Google has retained the old street layouts for neighborhoods in Rafah that no longer exist at all. Not even ruins. Dystopian.

All of this is too complicated to actually get into with character limits (and because the whole thing is so partisan) but this is for everyone: Rich people do not care about us. They use us. They hate us. Do not celebrate when you benefit from their wealth. They are never, ever, doing it for you.

They should've, but we should also loudly protest our partnership with we never have. We never had a real protest for Visit Rwanda, nor against Thomas Partey. A lot of Arsenal fans wanted Usmanov. It's them but it could've been us or any other club. It's pathetic. It's past time to wake up.

And it's such a shame. Women's sports is BOOMING -- Successes today will mean in 10 years the Emirates is packed full with fans. NOW is the time to capitalize and we just don't. "Let it all work out" is a cute personal mantra in ur a very poor way to run a football club.

I'm always very hesitant, in all the sport I watch, to blame coaching staff. But this season has not been good, and this game was awful. The tactics made no sense, the subs were abysmal. It is, again, buckets of individual talent being wasted.

It's not dark arts too target players on a caution, it's wise play. You don't get trophies for merciful play. Just a little bit of nous is all we're asking.

Hannah Einbinder IG story o 5m
From Create Mode >
If the pictures of my friends and me getting arrested in protest of Netanyahu's shameful visit to New York draw attention to anything, let it be to the devastating genocidal war Israel is waging against the people of Palestine and Southern Lebanon-to the settler attacks, the home demolitions, the bombing of people as they sleep; to the crimes that happen every SINGLE day but garner almost no international press coverage. The US government has the power to bring an end to all of this killing, pillaging, and land theft, yet instead it chooses to welcome the butcher of Gaza with open arms. The fact that the orchestrator of all this bloodshed is roaming freely in our cities is an indictment of BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS who enable and protect architects of genocide like netanyahu.
Let us not mistake the spectacle for the story: genocide is the headline, and it is time for it to end.

Why do they do this? One key reason in the US is SEO (search engine optimisation). This explains how, in particular, gambling companies have been parasiting trusted news resources in order to boost their search results. It is as grim as it sounds.

The health of a democracy can be judged by the state and diversity of its local media. In the UK, with apologies to @bylinesnetwork.co.uk, they have all but disappeared as independent entities. Same in the US, where 1000s of titles have been bought by companies which run them into the ground.

The whole point of VAR is to correct mistakes, but they're saying unanimously that even though it was wrong, it shouldn't have warranted a review. This is why people get angry and don't trust the system or ProRef because the way they interpret things doesn't make sense.

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."
