"In due time, I will tell the truth to all Portuguese people about the reasons that motivated my departure from the national team, to which I have always dedicated myself." What like you're old and shit now?

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

The list of high scores in ODI cricket really lays bare how manufactured the 'entertainment' is. 13 double hundreds in the format now. 8 Indians, 7 in India. Top 10 scores against Sri Lanka, Windies x3, Zimbabwe x2, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, then one against Aus, before SL again #IndvWI

Remember, antisemitism is not the same as anti-Zionism. Unless you're on the left, and you want to oppose fighting antisemitism, at which point it's the same. Because remember, being on the left means denying antisemitism exists

"And what about the players? How are they feeling? Imagine being Erling Haaland, with a contract until 2034. Or Elliot Anderson, freshly signed this summer from Nottingham Forest. Or fellow newcomer Enzo Fernandez, formerly of Chelsea. Any of them."

Excellent as always from @dtathletic.bsky.social 👏🏼 ‘At this stage, the narrative changes. No longer should it be a debate about whether the Premier League would dare to drum Manchester City out of England’s top division. Now the question takes another form: how can you justify anything else?’

Not seen any of the footage from the Israel-Ireland game last night, but a few clips of the pathetic performative unprofessional behaviour of the Ireland players. They should have not played the game rather than behave like that. To refuse handshakes, disrespect another country's anthem, is pathetic
