I stand corrected. I'm pretty sure 1830s France didn't have table lamps. Apologies for having to include Whiskey Pete in the grab. Keep up the good work General.

Thinking back to the LM joining video, when he was being shown round Conley, there's a little snippet of him going into a room with Nuñez, presumably trying to get him to sign the deal being offered
Martin (@radders.bsky.social) reply parent
a lot of these transfers aren't the manager's. We've been looking at X and Y for 1,2,3,4 years. This is the Moneyball approach, players with good stats. Would they be better under JHT or LM? It doesn't seem to matter. Risks repeating RvW under CH whose style of play was completely wrong for him.

Grimsby keeping their hopes alive of a Carabao/FA/L2 treble though

It reads like the agent has had a big part to play in this. Twice turning down a deal? Let's hope he's properly injured and won't play for a while. I can't imagine they'll let him play Vs us in a few weeks. At least the EDP can run "Pelle signs for City" headline now

They just move the goalposts, deny obvious facts, ignore the question and repeat into the interviews are over and most media are complicit in nodding their answers through. We need people like you who know their stuff and are prepared to stand up to them

Silly pass from Kvistgaarden for #1, Chrisene failed to get the ball for #2 and Gibbs(?) looked like he had a restraining order and wasn't allowed within 5 yeayrs of Matsuki for #3. 1 & 3 you can do something about

Just watched the highlights, and we created a few, generally long distance and had some nice interplay. I don't think he knows what the best 11 is

I have to say, I liked the team spirit in the pre season videos, but I found it far easier to like Farke and JHT and see what they were trying to do than Manning. Lots of cliche sound bites but little evidence of progress

Since journalists are not allowed into Gaza freely - and those there are being killed en masse - to hear what is happening there we must speak directly to those living amid the rubble. I spoke to nurse and mother Alaa Jaber, living in a tent with her hungry and injured family in the middle of Gaza.

After the infamous Helsinki meeting, Trump looked a beaten man, scared witless. This time he seems to be pushing Putin, openly criticising him etc etc. Does this undermine the kompromat theory or is it all smoke and mirrors?

Never heard that one. He failed because of a miniscule amount of a steroid that's in a commonly available cream in Italy. Claimed his physio used it and transferred it via massage. Then bizarrely "negotiated" the ban to be at a convenient time to come back in time for French Open
Martin (@radders.bsky.social) reply parent
Lordy that's a brave call. Factually and financially, it's probably correct. Having economies like DE, FR subject to the same forces as IT,GR,SP etc was always going to be a struggle but the point about the political importance would outweigh everything else

Starmer bundled the proscription with 2 other groups who, if you read this, you'd imagine should be banned. Maybe it wouldn't have got support if it was just PA. Either way, it's underhand and now they're labelled Three groups to be proscribed - GOV.UK share.google/2rhNzO4LXhMR...

Irrespective of party affiliation, this is spot on. Don't announce something that proves how insulated you are from "hard working (🤮) families" and then say you've listened. U turns aren't bad, shocking judgment in the first place is.
