Four defeats in row.

Slot needs to get his exorbitantly expensive squad performing & soon or FSG, not known for their sentimentality, will inform him that it’s time to part ways.

Though given he clearly doesn’t trust the players he signed in the summer the end might be imminent anyway.

We can forget about the title because we’re simply not good enough.

We can forget about a tilt a European title because we’re not good enough either.

Slot & his exorbitantly expensively assembled squad now face a battle to stay in the top half of the table.

iannlou.bsky.social @iannlou.bsky.social · 14h

That’s fucking shambolic. We can’t score at the other end & can’t stop conceding at ours. We’re missing Trent plus Mo, Virgil etc have lost their mojo since they signed new contracts.

Slot really needs to fix this or we’ll be lucky to make the top ten in May.

Which is totally unacceptable.

Michael Oliver is Jim Radcliffe's best ever purchase.

He's worth every single piece of silver he paid him.

I see that the smeghead Oliver is working hard for his 30 pieces of Radcliffe's silver.

Entitled elderly rancid shit in the Castle this afternoon, demanding that one of the staff hustle out customers who had just finished eating.

I hope she lives for another 50 years. And every single one of the 18262 days is filled with agonising pain.

Criminals protect their own.

A tweet from Rep. Don Beyer reads: “George Santos pleaded guilty to identity theft and wire fraud, a small part of his lying and stealing that really hurt people. Trump says it plainly: crimes don’t count if you ‘vote Republican.’ Just like his pardons of those who violently attacked police. Naked corruption.” Below is a retweeted post from Juliegrace Brufke that says: “🚨 President Trump has commuted @MrSantosNY.”

To be fair, it’s unlikely that Oscar knew that Fernando was doing a banzai move down the inside. So when he moved left he didn’t realise Nico was giving space to his own left.

Unlucky for both Lando & Oscar but these things happen.

I see that renowned furniture enthusiast JD Vance thinks that people 10 years younger than him are “kids” even when they proclaimed to love Hitler and talk about sending people to gas chambers.

As Morgan says …

“I don’t understand your specific kind of stupid but I do admire your total commitment to it.”

Breaking: Nottingham Forest have sacked Ange Postecoglou.

Marinakis has decided that his reign was shorter than Lettuce Lizzy’s.

iannlou.bsky.social @iannlou.bsky.social · 1d

It looks increasingly likely that Postecoglou will be sacked.

While I take no joy from someone losing their job, that does mean Marinakis admitting that he fucked up. Twice.

Which seems unlikely but surely this can’t continue much longer when even the home fans are singing “sacked in the morning”.

Trump downplays hopes he will supply Ukraine with US missiles after meeting with Zelenskyy. Trump said US may need Tomahawk missiles for a future conflicts.

For example, annexing Canada or invading Greenland.

Or wherever his Malevolent Moscow Master commands him to threaten as a distraction.

OTD: 1834 - The Palace of Westminster, the original Houses of Parliament, was almost completely destroyed by fire, caused by the burning of obsolete Treasury tally sticks.

Only Westminster Hall & a handful of other parts of the old palace survived the conflagration.

On the plus side the #MangoPeado is protecting the US public, who have got used to getting stuff from Temu etc for a decade, from the exorbitant tarrifs imposed by … *checks notes* … a delusional, diaper-wearing, dying dotard.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

He used the same line that ‘all the rules were followed’ when he was mendaciously denying that Number 10 turned into a party place during Covid lockdowns. [2/2]

I see that the watchdog has found that Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office. Quelle surprise.

According to them Guardian, Caesar Arsegustus refused to answer specific questions or to provide factual denials to allegations of rule-breaking... [1/2]
