It looks like he’s standing next to Matthew Taylor

That was BSE a few years earlier

Really good answer from Kompany on Mourinho, Vinicius Jr and all that:

Oh mate. Please don’t buy any more.

Yes ultimately the club has to be sensible and out spiteful pettiness to one side. But I don’t!

Yeah and we got a good price. But essentially it’s cost him nothing to go on strike mid season and that’s a bad model.

I had this dream he’d come back, score the winner against Ipswich at Wembley and then leave. Looks like it’ll have to be Springett instead.

Presumably the offside is automatable up to a point so could be introduced on that basis The penalty on Digne could be too I’d imagine. But adding in friction and delays changes the game and makes it worse. Introducing appeals just guarantees x number of delays per game.

At the moment you’re not sure if a goal is going to stand. If you allow reviews you get two phases for each goal- when it goes in, and some time later, when it’s allowed.

I’d rather have last night over any external refereeing system. Nothing that takes longer than go alone tech

Every goal would be appealed tho. Complete joy killer

Speaking to the Unsung Britain conference yesterday, @claremoriarty.bsky.social from @citizensadvice.bsky.social emphasised the importance of joined up policy making ‡️

Yikes. So bad I can’t even listen to the Zero 7 rmx either

Have got very into Prefab Sprout (not really King of Rock n Roll) and Aztec Camera (Oblivious and Somewhere in my Heart) recently.

Disabled people could face benefit cuts – even if they cannot work Long-term claimants of employment and support allowance could be moved over to a new, time-limited disability benefit – equating to cuts.

NEW: Planned welfare reform could see big benefit cuts for disabled people who can't work, Citizens Advice has warned

The government wants to replace long-term ESA disability benefits with a new, much more time-limited benefit called Unemployment Insurance (UI) www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

That’s literally Terry Fenwick isn’t it.

Yeah he has a real 80s vibe. Probably played for QPR with Kenny Sansom

11.01.2026 15:27 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah his average is slightly better but I just feel getting out 3 times in the first over is disqualifying for an opener.

Crawley was out three times in the first over, just fundamentally not doing his job. Stokesβ€˜ batting was bad, and not sure he should be ahead of Neser for bowling tbh

You do, yes, esp Tinker Tailor and Smileys People. And/ or watch the BC adaptations w Alec Guiness

That’s a lot of fireworks.

Also it’s not an abstract political issue. It’s about friends, family, partners, kids and grandkids with a foreign born parent. It’s not, idk, freedom of movement or a customs union.

Yeah sorry poorly phrased, didn’t mean to imply you were. I think tho- often mainstream culture could and does exist in its own silos. When Oasis were culturally dominating the 90s, more people were listening to trance very weekend and that left no trace even then

Midge Ure too, presumably? He co wrote it and iirc wrote the riff, which maddening or not is pretty memorable
