@barryglendenning.bsky.social was spot on today when talking about "Ai"...
Nothing more than fancy Google at the moment and it doesn't know sh*t about football. Probably because it's coded primarily in US.

#UEFA & #FIFA only "banned" Russian teams from their competitions AFTER several nations refused to play against them.
Which nations will stand up now?
Spain maybe? Canada? Ireland? Germany?

The absolute kings of football journalism doing a legendary and (soon to be) multi-award-winning podcast about football.

Suck it Sir David Beckham.
Suck it Lionel Messi.
Suck it Louis Suarez.
Suck it all the other members & staff of Inter Miami for agreeing to be propaganda backdrops for Trump's illegal war.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

If you needed ANOTHER reason to cancel the #WorldCup, Trump using Sir David Beckham and his Inter Miami squad as a backdrop to discuss more bombing of Iran.
See in the photo Lionel Messi & Louis Suarez.

The slave states and mouth breathers hate taxes 'less they're spent on blowing up brown people.

Now do the #WorldCup. Thanks.

I listen to several podcasts that have bonus (paid) extra episodes. Only a few, like #TheRestIsHistory & #ItWasWhatItWas flood my #Spotify feed with said locked episodes. Locked episodes just sit there and you can't remove them so I simply, and unfortunately, unsub from the entire podcast.
🤷🏼‍♂️

Timeouts and quarters are coming...

TEAM NEWS! 🚨 Our starting XI to face Arsenal... 👊

Albion have arrived for Arsenal! 🫡

Liverpool to play Wrexham at Yankee Stadium on U.S. pre-season tour Liverpool will play three matches in the U.S. after the World Cup, with Leeds, Sunderland and Wrexham joining them.

Depressing this. I mean, maybe I'm expecting too much from UK-based clubs to not go to the current US. Like I expect them to not go to Russia.

Yes, Fabrizio Romano is scum.

‘He has made the transition from journalist to paid state influencer.’

Fabrizio Romano: journalist or influencer?

In case you needed yet another reason to dislike #LFC, #Wrexham, #Sunderland, #Leeds.

Exceptional Greg. 5 stars.

Jon, I try to listen to all your stuff and just bought your latest book. Could you have your producer adjust the settings for IWWIW as your locked episodes congest my feed and it is annoying. Spotify doesn't allow me to delete/remove locked episodes. Thanks.

Dang you Mark Church! Hahaha

Would a Russia by any other name still smell as shit?

Turns out, yes.

I believe, I would guarantee (for whatever that's worth), it is definitely going to get worse.

Vote of no confidence in Parliament? Are there the votes for that?

AND, he has set the road map for the ones that follow.

I guess because the US-right has always been further to the right than Europe. Maybe not Hungary or old Poland but still.

Honestly, I don't think they will. I told friends that still live there that when the US elected him AGAIN that the US as we knew it was over. They said I was being dramatic...

US is f*cked due to its system. Can Germany do something like a snap election or anything?

It's been systematic since probably the 70s. Keep 'em under-educated, work them to death (no social safety net), and keep em luvin Jeebus.

Oh, and that bitch Murdoch with FoxNews.

I agree. It's horrible. That's why I moved out of "my" country when he got elected the first time.
