Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Rio Ngumoha. He’s quite good.

Poetic justice just now, tho

VAR errors increase - every mistake so far in 2025-26 Premier League The Premier League's KMI Panel makes judgements on every key decisions. Here's what they say the VAR has got wrong.

I didn’t get where I am today by…

VAR brought to you by Specsavers

Breathtaking

Well, well, well

The demise of Welsh rugby has, in fact, not happened. 😊

#6Nations

She does indeed.

Maya Angelou once said “when someone shows you they are, believe them the first time.”

We’ve already seen what Mr Ratcliffe really thinks. Nothing he says now can walk back from that.

Odious views. Odious words.

Never mind

But competitors will always compete. And we’d criticise if they did not

I noticed that too

I think that tallies with what we’ve been seeing.

It’s an intentional approach and reflects the reality of the squad. Today it didn’t work out, but not by much.

What a damaging thing VAR can be.

Almost makes me want to stop watching altogether.

And if that is a view others have then VAR undermines the game it’s meant to support and enable.

🤷‍♀️

Woof!

#winterolympics

At a time when everything looks bleak, the smiles on the faces of the athletes at the Winter Olympics are a tonic

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

#lfc

😔

The commentary from All Red was almost unlistenable.

I get that the commentators are partisan.

But, I gained no real picture in my head of what was happening.

What I got instead was noise, and little to no insight.

Why only a yellow for Martinelli?

Awful behaviour, deserving suspension

#lfc

Flat-footed, achieving occasional pedestrian speeds

There’s some misty-eyed comments about #lfc this morning and how we used to play

But, let’s not forget no team ever stands still, including opposing teams, and it can take time to adjust

And, no team is entitled to win just because they used to win

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Watching a game and reading others’ comments is an object lesson in perspective

I frequently wonder whether I’m watching a completely different match

I am watching the game with my MIL.

Decisions like this are making it hard for me to restrict the use of asterisks

#LFC

I have never seen such an agricultural display by a Tottenham team. Deliberately and repeatedly ugly stuff

#LFC still need to close down games far better, but at the moment I’m just glad we don’t lose any more players to injury 🤞

Unusually so.

Is ugly football now what teams aspire to?

It’s really difficult to watch.

You’d have thought clubs would see that it’s not a good thing in the long term.

It turns out fans off.

And fewer fans mean less money

But we’d miss Scott Parker’s elegance
