his killer being a man who murdered three people including a pregnant woman who he also raped is a perfect demonstration of how ‘paedophile hunters’ are just violent men looking for a socially acceptable target for their violence
This is a very good point. How they come up with these storylines is so impressive!
Although Riffers getting a lot of hate on here is funny, I do feel a bit bad for Simon. Seeing your best mate ripped apart like this must be hard for anyone, let alone the man single-handedly bringing kindness back to politics
Sorry @arseblog.com and @arsenalvisionpodcast.com - I still love the pods, but I have a new favourite now: @vftlpodcast.bsky.social. It's far funnier than either of yours, and is just a really enjoyable way to end the week
Fabian Hürzeler in tears. Gary Lineker informing the bench.
My most fundamental political belief is that so much of the mess we are in today is people confusing "things used to be better" with "things used to be better because I was younger". Ironically, this has led to things actually being much worse now
In this case, it’s a jumped up child of a manager throwing a tantrum. But it also a Prime Minister, a Home Secretary, a US president or the leader of Reform (not leader of the Greens though). It is a safe way of doing journalism. Challenging what an authority says is hard, and may lose you access
This is only football, so it’s harmless, but this is the BBC all over. Someone in authority says something, and it does two things: first, it sets the narrative; second, there is just the acceptance of truth in what they say. At no point do they question the authority www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
I’m nostalgic for those years finishing 8th. I can’t take this
TNT love a close up and a replay while the football is happening
THANK GOD
Very true
It’s crazy not to sub him at half time
I think Cala will play RCB. Nothing against Mosquera, who I love, but he’s getting sent off
I think it will literally be no one if he doesn’t get subbed though
Mosquera has to come off half time
That ball boy hunted him down
@JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is turning and they are being vindicated. Solidarity.
Apropos of nothing
To really connect with the red wall, it is political plainsong that we need to speak their language. When I was talking to voters in former mining towns, they kept referring to the cache-misére of Labour mythology, and how Labour really needs to stop wrapping itself in sackcloth
Er guys, I was only joking…

As long as he genuinely means it (and I am sure he does) and it is not lip service, this might be one of the only ever instances of the 'sorry for any pain it caused' non-apology actually being appropriate
Oh I completely agree with all that. And the two matches v Wolves were great examples of that. We should have played better yesterday. But I did feel it was a bit of sterile domination from Chelsea
We had some dreadful performances in that season. Which is a trait the Invincibles shared with every single team in history
Here's a 'fun' stat for you...
At this stage of the 2003/04 season (ALL competitions), Wenger's Invincibles:
42 games
31 wins
7 draws
4 defeats
__
2025/26 Arsenal side:
44 games
34 wins
7 draws
3 defeats
Maybe I have blanked it out, but can't really remember many chances Chelsea had in their period of "domination" (ie, after Neto's sending off). We were not great, but there wasn't that much jeopardy, was there? Which was similar to our early season form
Imagine you work your fingers to the bone as a ballboy and some idiot comes along and undoes all your hard work. Fuming.
People keep suggesting this war is about hiding what's in the files rather than being entirely in character with and indicative of the callous disregard for life and wellbeing of the vulnerable you can expect to find in the files.
It's not 8 dimensional chess. He's just a global tier dickhead.
Fuck, really hope Rodri is ok. (Cheat)
It really is tough supporting these lot in this game
I thought the original analogy was great then straight away my mind went to Smosh Reads Reddit, so I loved this interaction
