That is a ridiculously massive hit to an extremely limited and irreplaceable Russian military capability.

Shows you how far Man Utd have fallen when not even Spursy can save their season! That said, how are Spurs one place above the relegation zone and European Champions?

Wow. What a day for Palace and their fans!

10 mins feels a bit excessive to me.

I remember Chelsea’s medic kicking off against Mourinho a few years back but the medics kicking off against each other is a new one for me as well.

Not enough to be overturned by VAR. Some refs would have judged that Haaland would have had a clear sight of an open goal from a wide angle without the handball, and sent the keeper. I don't think VAR would have overturned that.

Should have been but VAR doesn't decide on that once they decided it wasn't a red. I think he was fortunate not to be sent though.

I know some people don’t like the playoff games but they just serve up absolutely fantastic matches so often, as well as keeping far more teams in a fight for something to play for far further into the season. I do think they could make it fairer on the teams finishing higher by making it 5th vs 6th, followed by the winner of that playing 4th, followed by the winner of that playing 3rd. It’s the same number of fixtures, albeit with trickier scheduling.

Did he think the players should just ignore the fans going nuts all around them and go “Y’know, stay quiet, we haven’t been good enough this season to be allowed to celebrate keeping a clean sheet against the champions…” It’s even funnier being able to see how much it’s irked Sutton. Probably ruined his accy or something

Having sat through this season can only make me wonder how it was possible for Derby to be so monumentally terrible that they did worse.

Well at least we never have to see Vardy score for Leicester against us ever again.

Wow. Burnley with 100 points, invincible at home, and miss out on the title in injury time on goal difference.

Well we’ve had worse days this season!

Absolute daylight robbery that Palace got anything from that.

Oh, in that case it was probably engagement farming, using an image to get people to just start watching, in this case reversing the image used for the thumbnail of the video to imply that Americans didn't even recognise the world map being reversed in the video.

Usually it’s done to evade automatic copyright detection that would automatically flag it for removal on video sharing sites. Sometimes it’s because the video capture reverses or rotates the video at record time (usually if it’s been recorded on a phone) so it displays correctly while it’s being recorded, and uses metadata to allow it to be played back later the same way. If the metadata gets lost at some point through the video being processed or uploaded, the video isn’t oriented to the correct way when it’s played.

Of course, after he shouldn’t even be on the pitch.

Gerrin!

Every single ally the US has are currently moving to isolate from the US as much as is possible and are treating its president like a toddler.

The US president has never looked weaker on the world stage.

Feels like we played better during both 9-0 games than we have the last two.

It’s difficult to read how this will play out in the US. Trump has an extremely strong grip on power just at the moment, and certainly isn’t throwing his full weight behind Ukraine at the moment, and his motivation for that isn’t entirely clear, but below Trump there’s still extremely strong bipartisan support for Ukraine, and among the US public there’s still extremely strong support for Ukraine. Trump has gone so strongly against Ukraine with his rhetoric that it seems to be one of the factors contributing to his approval rating in the US sinking, and it’s certainly one of the factors uniting Europe in its support of Ukraine. It’s possible that Trump’s ultimate aim is to burn a hefty amount of political capital with Europe to shift a significant amount of the burden of Russia and Ukraine to Europe.

The only victories for Russia are entirely Pyrrhic, coming at bigger costs than ever before. Their resources are more and more stretched just making those small gains, some of which are starting to be reversed. For more than half a year they haven't even been able to hold all of Russia. They don't have anywhere near the resources they'd need to make it 'inevitable' Ukraine loses.

Not to mention that, regardless of Russian claims of the military power they have, some of the best options they have (and so are actually using) on the front in Ukraine are donkeys, domestic vehicles, motorcycles, military vehicles from 70 years ago, and troops on crutches. Meanwhile Ukraine lead the world in drone warfare, and are increasing that domestic capability at an incredible rate.
