Condescending and cantankerous in broadly equal measures. But in a nice way, generally. All views expressed are my own.

Since this moment, #Arsenal have won 14 of 15 Premier League games, and kept 11 clean sheets, whilst City have bottled the league, been found guilty of 114 charges and lost their last three games on the bounce. Never underestimate the beauty of football.

If Liz Truss makes it to 96 she’ll have spent more days of her life at the Remembrance Sunday cenotaph than she ever spent in Downing Street.

EXCLUSIVE: The gap between support for Irish unity & NI staying in UK has narrowed to 4 points in the past year. A new @LucidTalk poll shows 46% of voters want to maintain the Union, while 42% would choose a united Ireland if a border poll was held now. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Imagine if Russell Brand were Muslim. Everyone on here would be calling him a "Muslim rapist." So why is no one calling him a "Christian rapist?"

If you can understand a billionaire moving countries to improve his finances, you can understand an immigrant doing it to feed their children.

This proposal would have presumably blocked Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson - both convicted of criminal offences - from becoming First Minister. But let's be honest - this is really all about blocking a Catholic. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Zohran Mamdani is on fire. 🔥 🇺🇸JD Vance at 6:00 PM: We lost due to the Iran war which causes household inflation for Americans 🇺🇸Zohran at 7:00 PM: "Bro you are VP of USA, not a random Twitter troll. You can't post like it's someone else's war. You started it, You can end it. Stop tweeting and crying, start acting." Brutally Cooked 👏

It wasn't the sexual assault allegations. It wasn't the coup attempt on January 6th. It wasn't the racism. It wasn't the transphobia. It was the price of gas and groceries. As great as last night was, the sad reality is that Americans didn't care until it affected their wallets

Your country kidnapped a head of state this year.
Legitimate question: if you don't live in the U.S, why do you give a fuck about the politics here?

Legitimately hilarious how rattled Liverpool fans are by Gabriel’s gamesmanship considering what van Dijk has gotten up to over the years:
Biggest cheat in football. (Xebec on TikTok)

Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th. Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none. Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS. This is fan fic nonsense.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice. There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday. Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box. It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must. 📝 @JamesPearceLFC 🔗 bit.ly/3V3E2BJ
