This game, man. The sense of scale and destruction combined with the stunning visuals and graphics, it's incredible. #gearsofwar #eday

Leaving the UK with a heavy heart
Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves. For the past 7 years we have look…

Same thing happened with Halo just a few months ago. You can't hype up a game to the extent they have and then not have it work at launch.

Of fucking course, after waiting seven years for a new Gears of War game, the most dedicated fans who paid extra to play it early can't even get into the game and those who can are facing technical issues. Sort it out @xbox.com

7 seconds. It should be physically impossible to win a game like that. Justice for the bullshit pass interference on the previous drive. Incredible stuff.

RTÉ not showing Jack Moylan's celebration in the HT highlights. He kissed the black armband and pointed to the Israeli fans, before kissing the Ireland badge.

The burden shouldn't have been on them, but it was, and they bottled it. Useless cunts. Aaron Rowe had a lot more to lose and made the right choice.

These lads had the potential for a historic moment in their hands and let it go so they can kick a ball. That said, the burden shouldn't have been on them. Israel should've been kicked out of UEFA long ago.

For as annoying as he is on comms, Gary can at least say he influenced how punditry is now done. I dont think Redknapp has offered a single insightful thought in all the years I've watched him.

Ste McGovern @stemcgovern.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Are Sky Sports aware they don't need to have Jamie Redknapp on every single football match they air? Has anyone told them this? It's worth a try.

Fulham have had some dodgy commercial partnerships in recent years, but Chelsea take the biscuit with a fucking crypto shirt sponsor. Scarlet for whoever wears one of those in public.

It's mental how it's the done thing now to trash cities for political points. Glasgow getting it tight now. Every city is shite if you seek out the shite bits it's not a new thing and it's driven by poverty rather than "immigrants"...same as it always was.

Very annoying that we gifted a couple of goals to Chelsea. Could've easily gotten something out of that game tonight. #ffc

Don't really get this insistence that Palmer should've gone to the World Cup. He could barely run last season! He desperately needed the summer off.

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2: 
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3: 
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4: 
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news
