Incredible performance by Henderson first half. Maybe could have been a red for the handball, but the penalty and save from Doku were top draw. #FACup

Magnificent goal from Palace. Played out from the back initially a lovely pass to Mateta, who should be on a lot of clubs radar in the summer. Brilliant ball in from Munoz and Eze provides a wonderful first time finish. #FACUP

NEW with @simonkuper.bsky.social:
The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong.
Players don’t play any more football than in the past. What has changed is a sharp rise in intensity of play.
Not more minutes, but each minute exerts more load.

@jarrodkimber.bsky.social just started your new book and I'm absolutely hooked. I think everyone should be reading "The art of batting" as cricket fans.

I had a sneaking suspicion that FM25 would be postponed indefinitely. It makes more sense to wait for 2026 and aim maybe for a September release date and align with the new season. Innovation as ambitious as Sports interactive have aimed for is rarely simple.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.
He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.
While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.
They would make hundreds of billions from this.
That is what they want.
