People are rude about Matt Forde as a comedian, just because he's not that funny, but actually as a podcast host I think he's very insightful, and often has on guests and thought leaders who prove to be very influential, years later

Google "Matt Forde Political Party Episode 25" for more info

sorry, i just read it again

"The smart money remains on Bellingham going to the World Cup"

maybe if Ruben Loftus Cheek gets injured i guess

i don't think anybody has ever been quite this giddy about beating Wales at home in a friendly

JS covers Chelsea for the Guardian and he's always been happy to just Deliver Messages in exchange for a bit of inside access, so there's little doubt this will have been a collaborative effort to some degree

it's fucking wild

"a winning formula that prioritises brotherhood"

even by JS's standards this is a very weird article, an extremely fucken weird article (archive.is/kV5FC). the Guardian sport desk's most pliable hack is trying to narrative Jude Bellingham out of a World Cup squad. in October. What is happening

Any return will be on his terms. Bellingham can come back but if he does there will be no special treatment. It is a fascinating situation. The smart money remains on Bellingham going to the World Cup but Tuchel has created a world in which he stays at home. The challenge is balancing the pros and cons. Bellingham would undoubtedly be an asset if he accepts Tuchel’s tactical demands and does not try to win the tournament on his own.

lmao one win over serbia and belliingham must learn to toe the line

Bellingham must accept Tuchel’s collective structure or risk England exile

Manager learned at PSG to ignore star power in pursuit of a winning formula that prioritises brotherhood

according to the always entertaining jacob Steinberg

this is, of course, a lighthearted joke, but also I do firmly believe that Ladbrokes' PR department spent years manipulating the Nobel committee to try to get Bob Dylan Nobelled, sio the stuff about the Polymarket leak does not surprise me 💅

The Nobel Peace Prize has been meaningless since they awarded it to Bob Dylan

Great to have Sid Khan, the Global Sumud Flotilla member and pro-independence activist, here in National HQ, home safe in Scotland after being in Israeli jail just days ago.

i have nothing against Einar, always felt like Einar would be an ideal hype man in a different group

what the fuck? NINETY FIVE? she's had, like, nine top 40 singles by that point? two top 10? in the real chartt that matters, not the fucking Billboard bullshit
