I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Not a total surprise to me that that’s the result tonight. The fact is we are conceding far too many shots and we were always gonna come unstuck in a big way by allowing that to keep happening. Jaissle has to make us more solid. #nufc No panic yet, but a lot of work to do.

The Virtual Safety Car is always an absolute lottery; track position and how long the VSC actually lasts mean it can give some an advantage over others. Always been an issue in my opinion. #f1

Great to get a point after being 2-0 down and clearly second best in the first half. Barnes gave us a lifeline and Ramsey grabbed it for the team. Yes, a poor first half but: - we have to expect ups & downs with a new squad / manager etc - Bournemouth are a decent team, it was never a gimme

At least we’re still somehow in the game. But it’s a huge team talk for Jaissle. The positives are there are some options on the bench. And ways to change the approach. Let’s see what MJ can come up with #nufc

Well done to True Faith for getting David Hopkinson on. Thankfully it’s been largely received well by fans. Unfortunately a few comments laced with misogyny aimed at Charlotte. It’s honestly pathetic. But also predictable.

Hard to see how Woltemade finds a place in this current Jaissle version of #NUFC. Could he depart back (to Germany perhaps) before the window closes? The club would have to take a hit on his fee though. And would leave the squad needing another, more dynamic, forward too.

I’m fuming with that refereeing performance. Absolutely shocking. Never a sending off (nor was it a foul on Ramsey, just momentum and genuine contact). And then the decisions leading up to their equaliser were terrible #NUFC

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Huge race in #F1 today. My prediction is Lando will get a poor start and Max will be at least P2 by the end of lap 1. Norris struggles with starts, especially when it’s against Verstappen.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.
