Fairs. If that's your rebuttal then it's all good.

I guess I was debating a debate between replacing Arteta with Iraola at this point because it's so utterly stupid. Fair play. I actually respect it. Glad you can see it from my POV. These fantasy football managers haven't a clue. Good on you 👍🏻

I can't, it's a ridiculous take at this point. If Iraola came in, he'd be gone in 18 months.

We're obviously not too defensive... Just too possession orientated. Today was disappointing but we've built a SQUAD that will give us a great chance of success over the next couple of years. Believe!

Replacing Arteta with Iraola at this stage would be so monumentally stupid I can't even begin to debate it.

4 years ago we were probs the 7th best team in the league. Things have changed since then and there are many factors involved. The evolution is ongoing. Don't believe the mainstream narrative

The fact that Dafabet have a registered domain name in Great Britain through an obscure Maltese white label provider is immaterial. They are banned in India and their name should not appear on any ground where India play.

Well done India for reaching 454/7 at lunch.
Well done Ben Stokes for a superb return of 4/66.
Not so well done ECB and ICC for allowing a blacklisted bookmaker which is operating illegally on the subcontinent to advertise its brand to Indian tv viewers at Headingley.

I have a strong grasp of the favourites and the hosts and will be watching pretty much the whole tournament anyway. Some of the less fancied nations competing I have a fair grasp of- which I could upgrade reasonably quickly if needed 👍

Please don't interpret this as a cry for help because things are fine, but I am available for written / podcast / radio work for the Euros. Not going on hols till after the tournament so I am around and UK based for the entirety.

A screenshot from the FA’s website that says: Work with LGBT communities and football stakeholders to identify and address barriers to participation and preserve player and participant welfare

Today, the first day of pride month, the English FA begins its ban on trans women in women’s football.

Checked the “LGBT inclusion” page on their website to see if anything had been updated & it still contains this paragraph.

“address barriers to participation”? You are the barrier!

We are not the same.

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Lazio out on penalties.

Glad to see some fascists taking an L somewhere.

good lord this story

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

Arsenal Women have become the first team in WSL history to score four or more in six consecutive home games.

#ARSLIV

A question for now or maybe even a future pod but with Kyra and Katie not on the field, who do you expect would be our potential setpiece takers and why?

Perhaps it's better for her to miss out on Palace than potentially against a tougher test down the line.

Just seen a stat that she now has the most yellow cards in WSL history with 36 which is right on brand 🤣
