A day of huge mourning for the Far Right in the UK. Not only was the Huntingdon train stabbings not the terrorist/asylum seeker/immigrant atrocity they’d hoped and prayed for, here is the hero of the day:

Mary Earps has gone quite Peter Shilton on the face of it (to be fair she had a better England career than “Shilts”).

If whatever this thing was was so egregious, then why did Sarina let her back into the squad and also their other teammates would have likely said something as well? In the extracts that have come out Earps doesn’t mention her teammates having issues with Hampton coming back in, it’s just her.

Going to get new manager bounced by Wolves next week. 😞

I went for a beer and I’ve missed a blatant Spurs red card that didn’t get given?

Not Reiten, I’d have her out wide. Either Nüsken or Bronze I think for Thompson.

Chelsea need another forward on the pitch. The back 3 and midfield 3 combo against London City feels a bit overkill and there’s space in behind to attack.

Can’t remember ever going as potty about a goal as this one. I don’t remember any of the game between that and when Palmer gets fouled for the second penalty.

Double Header means it’s going to be a long day, and the away game means more. It’s the exact same scenario next week as well.

This is very sad - the lad was ADHD and I can imagine the intensity of rejection sensitivity dysphoria when he was wrongly accused.

Hilarious that the very intelligent sporting directors may have bought the wrong striker from Strasbourg.

Dmitry @dmitry.mclachbot.com · 5d

I don't even have a picture for Panichelli in my database yet but the guy is putting up ridiculous numbers. Strasbourg aren't going to miss Emegha at all when he moves to Chelsea.

Never been to Wales before (somehow) but I’ve already used up all of my annual leave. I am livid.

Rich @batesintheplace.bsky.social · 5d

I think Diego Costa only got sent off once for us in his entire Chelsea career, he knew when to push it generally. Delap right now is definitely indisciplined, that was as stupid as Jackson’s red away at Newcastle. I guess I was defending the goal record because of the lack of games (1 in the CWC).

We won’t win on Saturday, Spurs are a smarter side than last year and presumably Thomas Frank is licking his lips at how terrible we are at defending throw ins.
