Ah, Manchester United really are back: thats a classic Old Trafford penalty (in that it’s not one for absolutely anyone, anywhere else). The clue for the ref that it’s a dive is that Cunha goes down only after the contact stops. Pathetic

Fun fact: video gaming as a sector is worth more to the UK economy every year than the music and film industries combined in GVA.

Maybe it's not your thing, cool, whatever, but you definitely still benefit from the fact other people enjoy it as much as they do and being a snob about it is passΓ© πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

This has 1-0 written all over it. Slow, lethargic, no threat and giving up the odd chance: story of our Conference League campaign so far and really not good enough #cpfc

We went 2-0 up and assumed that was job done. Utterly complacent. We could play another 90 minutes, we aren’t scoring. Last home win over 3 months ago, bravo to anyone who stays to the whistle because I’m not #cpfc #crybur

That run and the reverse pass to Lerma was fantastic, he’s going to be very, very popular

Full-time: Aston Villa 0-3 Palace

What an absolutely outstanding performance from Oliver Glasner's side. Such a thin squad, their sixth game in 20 days and they demolish Villa.

Yeremy Pino brought some excitement in the latter stages too. A huge smile on Marc Guehi's face at the end. #CPFC

Log in and click the drop down profile menu - you should have your season ticket seats assigned to you under β€˜reserved tickets’ and they can be bought from there

Being generous, it feels like a journalist lazily regurgitating an email (including the stock photos?). Which doesn’t say much for the journalist but might fit with the idea that someone is on a wind up - which might also explain why such an unsympathetic situation is in the papers at all!

Not to mention the 38 year old man who (a) went to school in Singapore, (b) lived in New York for 20 years, and (c) has a 13 year old daughter who’s been at the same school in the UK since she was 5. Is the suggestion he left school and emigrated at 10?

City picked up 5 yellow cards in the final. Admittedly the emotions are blurring my memory but at least 3 of those were for tactical fouls to stop a break. City are masters at it, but what’s that if not cynical, anti-football behaviour? David Squires was spot on: www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

And it was everything! 100 odd minutes of unbelievable tension followed by euphoric release. Crystal Palace, FA Cup winners 2025!

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

I realise everyone will (rightly) bemoan the lack of VAR but how on earth has the linesman missed such a blatant offside? Same as Arsenal’s second in the League Cup, are they just not looking for it having got used to the VAR safety net?

I’m genuinely interested in what happens when Online Safety Act duties kick in. We publish games with in game chat, but no photos, videos, and we’re taking compliance very seriously, as are other publishers. Ofcom face a real challenge with big social media, esp with potential for Trump retaliation

I know it has nothing to do with you, dear Sunder, so my apologies, but I have to say I'm sick to the gills with that 'appeared' caveat. He did do it. He may have been off his head on ket, but he did do it. This is how we normalise unacceptable behaviour, introducing doubt where there is none.

I see most of the media is on day 1 showing all the spine they did last time round. It’s not a β€œstraight-armed salute”, it’s not an β€œodd gesture”, it’s not a β€œRoman salute”. If someone does a Nazi salute on live TV, twice, you don’t get in trouble for saying they did a Nazi salute live on TV.
