Whatโ€™s very funny about this, and is so often the case with these jingoistic, flag-waving types, is that they got the union flag wrong on the cover of their shitty book. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Itโ€™s a promotional image for the game, Thank Goodness Youโ€™re Here! Set against a blue, cloudy sky is a motley array of colourful characters. Theyโ€™re all the people in the town you need to help out while they make smutty jokes.

Thank Goodness Youโ€™re Here! is such a terrific game. Like Untitled Goose Game but Northern and crammed full of innuendo. Proper laugh out loud stuff. A perfect way to spend a Sunday evening ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

Itโ€™s so hard to watch fascism in the US unfold before our eyes.

Seconded on Blue Lights. And Nine Bodies in a Morgue in Mexico was very silly fun.

Yeah, the xG and chance creation arenโ€™t too bad. Just insanely sloppy all over the pitch for some reason. Hopefully itโ€™s just been a blip between international breaks.

I much preferred it when we were scoring late winners instead of conceding them ๐Ÿ˜‚ Lots of work to do. Feels like theyโ€™re the team we expected them to be last season. Impossible to say what a factor Jota is in all of this but surely huge. Got to give Wirtz and Isak more time. It will come. #LFC #YWA

Itโ€™s very funny that Hat Trick post something like this while simultaneously making their own gaffe. Maybe itโ€™s time to stop fact checking shit on Twitter, eh?

Premier League Wages | FBref.com Check out 2025-2026 for the Premier League Wages season.

too late for the person for this is about, but complaints about paywallsโ€”whether or not theyโ€™re on something I writeโ€”are an automatic block. I canโ€™t make people support journalism but I wonโ€™t tolerate people complaining they have to pay others for their labor.

What fucking remarkable shots.

My bets for Europe to win every pair sessions is going to come in.

Yeah, Iโ€™d be happy to go back to the Tony Jacklin days and just make Luke Donald captain for as long as he wants it. Not put a foot wrong in picking the pairings.

Oh, in my view itโ€™s the best team sport event in the world. I love it.

Every time USA do anything, Europe respond. To a man. Just incredible match play golf. What a sporting event this is.

American golf fans are the worst, but American golf caddies seem to be worse. They should all go fuck themselves.

Itโ€™s a very silly stat, but also very funny that the world number one is about to go 0-4.

I love Justin Rose. Really want him to win another major. He deserves one for unnecessary putts like that.

Scottie Scheffler has won 19 tournaments since his last Ryder Cup point. Might be another 19 more before his next one!

Itโ€™s amazing how little momentum the USA have been able to generate. Every time they do something impressive, someone from Europe is like, โ€œhold my beer.โ€

Even Matt Fitzpatrick with his terrible, terrible Ryder Cup record, is stepping up to the plate.
