This appeals to the neuropsychopharmacologist in me

This may be controversial, hearing #Israel complaining of indiscriminate bombing by Iran.

Isn't this exactly what Israel have been doing in Gaza? Why clutch pearls now πŸ€”

Given the goal differences, Wolves have got to pull back over 2 points a game, Burnley over 1.2 points per game, West Ham over 0.6 points per game. I really think we are one win from being able to say realistically that's it, job done.

That is one of the most blatant dives you will ever see. The match & VAR officials in the Premier League are absolutely not fit for purpose. I guarantee neither the penalty nor any form of red card discussion happen at the other end of the field

Just don’t think about the one that was given against Aaronsson when you do see it

After 2 pretty much non-entity seasons in terms of Champion and Relegation races, tempted to say the PL are desperate to maintain them this year. But that might be a little conspiratorial. #lufc

Not really sure how VAR didn't look at the stamp on Gruev. #lufc

Couldn't have hoped for better first halves than this. Absolute opportunity to go 3-5-2 with no fear and have a real go now #lufc

Still trying to work out how that was given as a free-kick to Sunderland in the first half and not a red card for Roeffs and free kick to Bournemouth

After Trump's "Operation Midnight Hammer" (no, really), he said Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities had been "completely and totally obliterated" and therefore Iran's nuclear programme had been set back "by decades."

That was 248 days ago.

I read this headline and literally my first thought was cool but why would anyone re-create Marc Bolan's exhaled air, followed by, I didn't know before now it was notably pungent. Only at that point did I realize, and was slightly disappointed, they are probably talking about the dinosaur.

Found a new free music channel on the FireStick, so figured I'd give the 80s Alternative station a whirl not really expecting anything. First half dozen include Bowie, Jane's Addiction, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, Pixies. Think I'm going to be set for the night.

Sweet Jesus, that's over 140 cm of snow since Tuesday evening. The latest 70 cm batch (& still coming down) came with 100km winds which has made nice 6+ft drifts. 3+ hrs for me & Mrs B to clear the front this pm. Mum & dad can stay as hermits for another 24 hrs, side & back will have to wait.

Was utterly convinced they were going to lose it on the double minor. How the refs missed the too many men is beyond me

Needed that goal and bit of luck on the both posts effort at the end. Largely another positive period. Need to keep that momentum in to third and try and get a little more traffic in front of Hellebuyck

Other than the first shift and Toews non-defence on the goal that was a decent enough first period for Canada. Would like to see a few more of them other than Celebrini taking some shots and getting some pressure on Hellebuyk
