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

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.

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.
