Man City such a good team - will be hard to beat in next season's Championship

Love the Koumas "if I can't get the ball I'll fucking bodyslam him" move

Haaland still learning how to cut his own hair, I see

Not as longstanding a tradition as fraudulent accounting.

Working on some chants for later: "Oh when the auditors, go marching in, when the auditors go marching in..."

I take every chance I get to make fun of the Telegraph, but credit where it's due.

This is how you write a headline.

Imagine how I feel doing regular insider trading trainings based on US laws, in full awareness of the weirdly prescient trades of numerous high-profile Republicans.

EILMELDUNG: Manfred D. hat die jährliche Sicherheitsbelehrung gar nicht richtig gelesen, sondern einfach nur unterschrieben. Der Cyber Hygiene Check-Up wurde auch nur durchgeklickt und nach 3 Versuchen mit der Minimalpunktanzahl bestanden.

That substantial portions of the European and US Left struggle with the idea that it is possible to condemn criminal actions by the Israeli government while also condemning the vicious brutality of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime continues to baffle me.

Another crazy-ass day in a German Landtag election, another day where I am utterly baffled that such votes are conducted via a secret ballot

Historical comparisons to Trump often fail because even history's worst villains and buffoons existed in the shadow of ideas (including terrible ones): religion, divine rights of kings, nationalism, communism, social Darwinism. Trump is entirely unburdened by ideas. He's pure id.

Failure to maintain party discipline needed to prevent CDU Sachsen Anhalt MPs from lending votes to the AfD almost guarantees a Linke-led coalition government in Berlin SPD, Green or Linke dealmaking aren't putting German democracy at risk. But the CDU leadership's weakness is

Am gleichen Tag den ersten AfD Ministerpräsident und n für Verrat verhafteten ex-BND-Chef. Immerhin spielt die Nationalmannschaft heute nicht.

Hatten wir auch eigentlich mal n normalen BND Chef?

I think this roughly translates as "Lads you better sort that shit out sharpish, or else". Which, besides, the obvious, is terrible news for any attempt to look more pro-Europe than Labour. "You're all secret Brexiteers" doesn't really land that well when your own European party is Big Mad at you.

Für die einen ist sie nur Shadow, für die andern die längste Katze der Welt.

From the German Greens' deputy chair: "Within the European EGP family of parties, 39 independent green parties have united together. We welcome the fact that the GPEW [Green Part of England & Wales] is losing its voting rights soon anyway." Deserved.

Sven Giegold@sven-giegold.de · last wk.

In der europäischen Parteienfamilie EGP haben sich 39 eigenständige Grüne Parteien zusammengeschlossen. Wir begrüßen, dass die GPEW in der Europäischen Grünen Partei (EGP) ohnehin sehr bald ihr Stimmrecht verliert.

Is this how you do this stuff?

Let me celebrate the Tag der Deutschen Einheit by declaring that, despite recent opinion trends, it was most definitely a good idea. Let me also reaffirm that everyone who unironically (or, tbh, ironically) demands the rebuilding of the wall is a moron and, perhaps more pertinently, a prick.

But my cats are [under the impression that they are] black panthers.

ANNA WINTOUR AT PARIS FASHION WEEK: My thing is, even though Iraola has shifted Wirtz to his preferred left halfspace, his game model lacks the central third-man combination play that unlocked space for him between the lines at Leverkusen HUGO EKITIKE, WHO JUST WANTED TO DRESS UP LIKE A JEDI: Oui
