It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

Ppl keep saying Farke isn’t “elite level”, but who is that you could realistically get to replace him?
If the answer is any of the those proven failures on the bookies’ list, I’m happy to say I’m also available at less than half the cost of a Heckingbottom. 🙃 #lufc #holdtheline

Just introduced a new category of reverse engineering labs: Multistage. Multistage labs simulate full malware attack chains based on real-world malware campaigns. These labs are designed to familiarize malware analysts with reversing complex infection chains, rather than just standalone malware.
Multistage - Reverse Engineering Labs
Real world malware infections often happen in stages. Each step of the infection chain is responsible for initializing the next. For these challenges, you'll have to analyze your way through more…

For the brief 20 seconds we saw of it, DCL and Piroe is a combo I’d like to see more of.
Also, Struijk in for Bijol please. Too negative and doesn’t want to pass forward. #lufc

So Sky’s entire analysis of #lufc after broadcasting Farke’s pre-match interview was to talk about Sunderland. 🤦♂️

Today isn’t the time for one of those “great performance, got nothing out of it” games.
This is the kind of game where we have to rob them with 90 minutes of relentless “we’re not going back to the Champo, you are” determination.
A Farke “knife between the teeth” job. #lufc #alaw

We’re still (just!) ahead of the 1pt/game survival average, but the reality is we will lose ~20 games. Brighton away was always on my list of 20 defeats.
We will have better days, and we’ll have around 15 more days like this 😥.
Hold the line! #lufc 🤍💛💙

Based on what I’m seeing today, looks like a high energetic press (a la Leeds most of last season) should help us see of Brighton next weekend. #lufc

Weak second half doesn’t inspire confidence for facing better teams. Would have felt much better if we’d kept the clean sheet. WHU were awful and didn’t deserve the consolation goal, but over the line is what counts. 🦾 #lufc

Missed following the commentary on the game yesterday as, ironically, I was in Leeds for the first time in 2 years.
Girding myself to watch the full match replay on #lutv. It‘s going to ruin the remnants of my Sunday night, isn’t it? #whydowedoit #lufc
