I can safely say that not one player or supporter of either team wanted that VAR intervention at the end there. I generally try and steer clear of being a VAR bore but that was mean-spirited nonsense that leaves both teams worse off.

Absolutely sickening but essential read. Thousands reported massacred in one night. It’s a bit nuts how little coverage this has had. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Am I the only person in the UK claiming a pair of illuminated maracas as a legitimate business expense in the last tax year? I think I might be you know.

Why on earth is anyone listening to anything Peter Mandelson says in 2026, let alone publishing him or commenting on it. Get out of public life, man.

Alarmed by how close this Partridge get-up is to stuff I wear myself. Convincing myself he’s got cooler but we all really know what’s actually happening here.

So fucking depressed by the state of politics/discourse in this country, esp the supposedly mainstream left/centre politicians and media who are too cowardly/careerist to call out what’s happening here right now. This is exactly how we end up with a fash gov’t in 18 months time. Wake up dickheads.

“Find It” by The Carrie Nations in Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls
There's a small genre of song that's like "song created for a movie that is supposed to be a hit song within the fictional world of the movie."
Have any been actual good-enough-to-be-hits besides "Golden" and "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow?"
