I know he’s two years older but getting Bruno G for £75m flat when Tonali was £90m+ feels like a negotiation W for Arsenal. Now it’s all about what they win while he’s here, because this is a new high water mark for this age + position combo

I’m still waiting to see something funny he wrote
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 2d agoThe Mail, call him 'brilliantly funny'. Kemi Badenoch calls his death 'heartbreaking' John Humphries calls him 'wonderful to work with'. Editor of Sunday Times says he had a 'wonderful way with words'. He wrote he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" if he was a teacher
The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

JPMorgan Again Entangled in a FIFA Fiasco (Gift Article)
After promising to learn from its role in a failed “Super League” that fueled fan anger, the Wall Street bank is involved in FIFA’s latest meltdown.

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'
He’s 💯 right here. Easy to focus on the horse race of who could be the next one, but the real fix is breaking apart the system that allows these guys to rise in the first place
Financial Times@financialtimes.com · 2d agoInfantino is not the problem ft.trib.al/5qdaL5k
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
In a better world, Miguel Maduro, the author of this article, would be among the first people drafted in to work on the complete reboot of Fifa. The headline is provocative; but, like @tariqpanja.bsky.social, I agree it is correct. Removing Infantino is only the pre-condition of an overhaul.
Infantino is not the problem
Fifa’s regulatory functions must be separated from its commercial activities

I was under the impression that presidents were not allowed to do stuff like that....
We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...
I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
no agreement with trump is binding, it's impossible that anyone at this point fails to understand that. All that's happening here is spineless toadies folding as anticipated bsky.app/profile/matt...

Hazbro@hazbro.bsky.social · 2d agoEveryone worrying about midfield numbers if Bruno arrives. Our 25 man squad has 3 keepers, 7 defenders, 6 midfielders, 2 RW, 2 LW, 3 CF. That’s 23. Max, Ethan, Myles don’t count against the 25 and given how stretched even our depth was last season it wouldn’t surprise me to see Mikel milk that.
This is banana republic stuff - we all know that, right?

The President of the United States (indeed EVERY Republican in a national leadership role) moves in a way, that, were this high school you’d have slapped him in the face and dared him to do something. (He would’ve just stood there and bled.) All hat no cattle.
