Blackpool 10/11 are the only team to get relegated after getting more than 25 points from first 22 games but one can hope. they'll have the best stadium in the Championship.
A fresh Cannon Stats simulation. The regular laptop has Arsenal up to 88% to win the league and up 6% over last. Manchester City took a major hit on the team ratings after their derby loss. Spurs have also sneakily snuck up to a 1% relegation chance.

Such a devastating and horrible weekend right? 😉

@poznaninmypants.bsky.social agree with your sentiment on the podcast that Eze needs to make the most of the chances he gets but I disagree that his chances lately have been long enough to do so.
2 mins isn't long enough to impress my wife much less someone with real (e)standards like Arteta.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills hearing Arsenal fans ask if we're spoiled for being miffed about the Chelsea result right after agreeing we should have won 4-1.
We let a comfortable rout curdle to a close win. A team used to putting in B-grade performances earned a C. Disappointment is normal.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Primary them all.
153 Democrats just joined 188 Republicans to pass HR 7006, which
•Sends $3.3B to Israel (including offensive weapons)
•Bans any attempt at Palestinian liberation
•Sends $50M to Venezuela

Only 57 Democrats voted no.

Americans still don't have healthcare.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Remember, transfer fees are the only cost. Wages are paid in unicorn dust, agent fees in gumdrops. If you have to pay an intermediary, that’s covered by gratitude: a hand-over-heart gesture and a solemn nod will usually suffice, and won't count against PSR.

Unlike other businesses in Minneapolis, Starbucks is allowing ICE agents into stores against the concerns of baristas and our community.

That's why our union is taking action. Across Minnesota, baristas are demanding that Starbucks update their guidance around ICE immediately.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Dear WOTC, however cool and fun you believe thief decks are, half that number, then half it again, then half it again. Thief decks are 10% as cool and fun as that number. Please stop making thief cards. We're good.
