Entries are absurdly unbalanced, to favour US govt false statements, in a scenario where "sharply contested" both sides reporting would be highly inadequate

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

I have an inescapable sense that what is currently happening to white people resisting federal agents in the US has been happening to non-white people for beyond as long as I can remember.
Maybe things have to reach this point for substantive societal change to take place?

This reminds of the way black parents give advice to their kids on how to survive being black in a majority white environment.

The first tenderness anyone ever teaches you is not language but proximity. Before you learn to call anything by its name, someone’s breath grazes the soft place above your eyebrow; someone’s lips hover near your cheek; someone steadies your head with a palm

The market for wingers / wide forwards this summer is going to be really something.
Could be looking at Diomande, Yildiz, Vinicius, Barcola, Rodrygo, Bahoya moving.
Arsenal only need one.

Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩

I am hoping Kai will be our first choice for most important games, with Gyokeres and Jesus subs to be brought on for different game states and types of opposition.

Give a lifetime contract to the ball boy who made Martinez walk all the way over to him at 2-0 then dropped the ball at his feet.
Even better, Martinez picked up the ball cone and moved it closer for his next goal-kicks, and the ball boy moved it back.

If Madueke on the left means tap ins for Saka at the back post, this could be the new Sane / Sterling.
Not to mention Odegaard at the top of the box or Rice / Merino crashing the box or Gyokeres / Havertz in the middle.
If we can score first, and teams have to come out and play, it could get ugly.

A) In what world is Foden an adequate replacement for KDB?
B) KDB had been injured most of the season, so if Foden was the solution, wouldn't it be more obvious?

Tim's articles are always a good read.
This one is even more so than usual, reinforcing my view that Arsenal has one of the world's best football coaches in Mikel Arteta.

Had a look a few minutes of Ekitike on the You Tubes, and I don't really think we can consider ourselves serious if he isn't playing in Arsenal red at The Carpet next season.
We deserve nice things.
Also, his fee is 80% of a Zubimendi less than Isak.

Significant moment in Norway, where clubs from the top two divisions have voted to abolish VAR. Will be their formal recommendation to Norwegian FA ahead of decision in March.
