Amazing first game and tributes for Jota has to be first of mind. Tom, do you think the PL missed a bit of an opportunity for a Liverpool v Wolves opener, or that would’ve been too much? Possibly too much emotionally for players, staff and fans, but a thought I was wondering.

Trump controls what the justice dept releases. NOTHING released will include his name, explanations why he went on the plane, etc… This was a fanciful got ya at MAGA, but the end of it will be Bondi releasing a bunch of horseshit that ONLY mentions anyone whose name isn’t Trump. Waste of time.

This is so ridiculous. Baseball is played in large stadiums throughout the country, in the hottest climates during the hottest months, and is NEVER halted without the actual storm hitting the stadium. Lightning within 10 miles is BS, I don’t know why this is happening.

The Newcastle fan, spending money on a seat in the rafters, or just the one that stays home, and never misses a game has had an experience, that they’ve never head in their lifetime. That transcends how the the team was put together. For that fan, that trophy, legitimizes the years they’ve spent.

Again, that demeans what Wrexham, the staff, the player scouting and development teams, and the players themselves are doing. If you don’t like the lower leagues, don’t watch, but the competition is ferocious, and it’s a great watch and what makes the whole relegation / promotion system special.
