Ten years. So many incredibly brave women. So much work from indefatigable journalists. Questions left to answer - but for now, this is justice

Just remembered this post. Another away win for Liverpool today after being away in Europe.
Andrew Beasley@andrewbeasley.bsky.social · 3w agoI wrote a thing last March about Premier League teams playing away after being away in the Champions League. At that point, they’d collectively won five of the 16 league matches. Make no mistake, today is a massive win for Liverpool.
Liverpool are top of the PL away table. Last had a better five-game run on the road in 2021.
Five of the front six have scored and/or assisted today. That’ll do. Up the Reds.
It amazes me that Liverpool scored from a set piece in this game given the standard of most of their deliveries.
This vid is 2 minutes long but I want to tell you about one stand-up comedian and why he’s the reason it’s impossible to solve comedy’s #metoo problem. It’s a true story.
They still haven't scored in any home league match that counts
Sad news. Although everyone involved in this track/album is essentially immortal. People will still be marvelling at it in 100 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbu...

You won’t read a more interesting and disturbing sports piece this weekend than this by Paul MacInnes on ‘schooligans’, the young gangs engaging in anti-social behaviour, including out-and-out violence, at non-league football. Some are as young as 10. Yes, 10. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Nottingham Forest are just the fifth English top flight side to fail to score in their first four home games of a season. Yet despite amassing 3.6 xG at the City Ground, it isn’t *that* weird they’ve drawn a blank. My latest:
Nottingham Forest’s historic goal drought at home is part of longstanding problem
Oliver Glasner’s side are yet to score at City Ground this season but troubles in front of goal precede his arrival

my brain is a repository for soccer players on reality shows so naturally, the news of Nathaniel Clyne’s move to Sporting Club Jacksonville reminded me of his very random appearance on Love and Hip Hop: Miami in 2018 youtube.com/shorts/UEzzf...

“No Everton manager with at least as many games has a lower win percentage in all competitions, with that post followed by a caretaker spell back at Chelsea in which he won only once in 11 matches.” How good is Lampard? How good are Coventry? Tonight is huge for both. My latest:
Win at Everton would put Coventry on right side of history in survival fight

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

This style is the gold standard for election results. Areas used properly, relative position maintained, important boundaries (state/country) have their shapes maintained, unimportant ones (inside states) mostly don't. Top notch.

Liverpool’s ninth away game against Turkish opposition, their seventh one-goal defeat. It’s just what happens. Pity, looked like this could have been different. Up the Reds.
Both equalisers were four minutes after Liverpool scored.
Delighted to be in a pub in which the TV is on mute.
