@lmtpod.city Good show, like the chat but Iโ€™m not sure how many other shows you could do along these lines. BTW Sam a Pokรฉmon cafe in Kenilworth not a shock given that Warwick & Leamington is a major global hub for computer games!

@bluemoonpodcast.com Painful listen this week as the audio from the Guardian bloke is awful. Doesnโ€™t help that he mumbles/drones.

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes.

Itโ€™s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia.

Investigation now!

US Threats Cast Doubt On Shipping Emissions Deal An ambitious plan by the UN's shipping agency to cut maritime emissions could be scuttled at the last minute after the United States threatened to impose sanctions on those supporting it.

USA seeks to export its climate idiocy in order to undermine an international deal to reduce shipping emissions

Using all the bullying tactics it can muster, USA is threatening other countries with sanctions if they support the deal

@bluemoonpodcast.com Best save - Joe Corrigan against Leeds in the FA Cup 1976-77. I was in the Leeds end and the ball was definitely going in the net when, from nowhere, Big Joe dived across and pawed it out. It won the BBC Match of the Day save of the season - check it out.

@lmtpod.city Big shout out for the defence. Another clean sheet. Only Arsenal has a better GD. Both Oโ€™Reilly & Nunez look at home. Thank goodness we have Bernardo - mind you Iโ€™m old school. Never played Football Manager and believe Pep knows more than meโ€ฆ.

Farage backing Trumpโ€™s line on paracetamol yesterday smacks of Boris. He will lie and cheat to get elected, but with a touch of the Kristallnacht about him

Or even gameโ€™s gone. It just sounds reverential and treating highly paid professionals as trusty old retainers. Very 1920s. Language has moved on - even for football.

@footballcliches.bsky.social Just listened to September 11th show and the utter bollocks when describing a series of highly paid footballers as โ€œservantsโ€. Volunteer stewards, club officials (lower leagues), ball boys- Yes! Millionaire footballers NO!! Fuck off Adam. You knew this was coming btw.

@lmtpod.city Haaland, Foden, even Doku but Khusa - heโ€™s maturing fast. Surely heโ€™s the right back?

It was a really crap piece but it does show that work needs to be done to counter the Reform and Tory loons.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

Manchester United ignored Pep Guardiola's warning about Jadon Sancho

Cool story bro but we saw your first (honest) response which was to threaten to sue anyone who reported on you STEALING A HAT FROM A CHILD and gloating about it. I hope you never get out from under this.

I'm sure Nigel Farage will bring this up when he testifies before the US Congress in September about freedom of speech restrictions in the UK.

What number have the Rags got in the Carabao Cup draw. Oh sorry they havenโ€™t got one but Grimsby has - the most embarrassing result in โ€œLeagueโ€ Cup history - since 1960. So funny. #Amorimin

Amorim in! Donโ€™t get rid of him - heโ€™s a star. I bet Ole is waiting by the phone with his bottle of DNA. The Rags are an absolute joke
