Lighthouse

If you live in Stamshaw and somebody offers you the chance to live in a mansion in Beverly Hills for a year, you take it whether you own it or not. If he scores 30 goals for us, I couldn’t care less if he signed for Pompey next season. I’m just glad we’ll have had someone of genuine quality for a season, rather than sending the likes of Long, N’Lundulu and Obafemi on to try and change a game.

I saw one theorist a few years ago, who was peddling the whole, ‘jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams’ line. He’d clearly gone to great lengths with his maths, worked out how much fuel a 767 would take on a flight to LA, how many joules of potential energy would be released on ignition. Then he contrasts this with the amount of steel (apparently) used in one tower of the WTC, the temperature at which it melts and the amount of energy required to increase it to that temperature from about 20 degrees on the morning of the attacks. Wouldn’t you know it, the jet fuel doesn’t release anywhere near enough energy!!! All looks very plausible and scientific until you realise what he’d actually calculated, if his maths was right, was the amount of energy required to literally liquify the entire skyscraper on impact and send a tidal wave of molten steel flooding down Wall St.

If we jab Burnley with a coat hanger and keep flushing, they’ll go down eventually.

I heard someone on the BBC earlier saying that only 1% of deaths were people who had been fully vaccinated, so slightly higher than that tweet. I guess now that 90% of adults are fully vaccinated, that death percentage has crept up to one whole percent.

I’m more concerned by the cream chinos.

Not this again. He basically won League 1 and was a whole point with better GD off winning the Championship. A better ref at the Riverside and we’d have won that too. Give it up.

I get that but it’s not as if there are laws requiring us to pollute, produce carbon or have poor insulation. If anything, the rises in energy prices are going to make it imperative for people to be as efficient as possible, regardless of whether they care about environmental issues. I’m not sure there’s much crossover between anti-vax and climate protestors. One is predominately left wing and the other right wing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-58543603 I don’t get this. If you’re trying to get people to be environmentally conscious, why do stuff that makes you widely hated by the rest society.

I think it’s absurd to think that it’s never occurred to a professional football manager, or any of the coaching staff, to try something which a bunch of nobodies on the internet have thought of. I’m sure a lot of stuff gets tried in training and never carried forward into the match day routine. Saying he’s good at running forward and crossing, therefore put him in midfield is far too simplistic a take on it.

I don’t see why not. I don’t think he will pick Broja but that’s a tactical choice and nothing to do with a loan.

Is it just one Manc we’re playing? Should be able to beat him on his own.

About 40 seconds in. 😉

A bit offensive from Lineker, to compare Raducanu's family (who I assume came here legally) with what's going on in the Channel.

That rule needs to change, maybe an enforced sub of the player involved. I’ve watched it a few times, only at full speed and zoomed out but it didn’t even look like a foul. Just an unfortunate clash of legs as they both went in.

That’s a nasty looking injury.

Awesome 24 hours for British sport, McLaren winning again.

A lot of people want to feel like they're fighting against an oppressor of some sort.

It’ll go to Phil Jones.

Was that the game when she claimed the umpire was discriminating against her for being a woman, in an all women’s match? That was pretty pathetic. Fernandez seemed a bit miffed about the physio call although I’d forgive a teenager for that, playing in a grand slam final under sudden death pressure.

Wow. This girl is a born winner. Faultless, didn’t crack under pressure, didn’t drop a set. Amazing.

I agree. If the points keep trickling in whilst we’re playing below standard in tough fixtures, then that’s no bad thing. All four games, whilst frustrating, have been a million miles better than the 3-0 down after 25 minutes garbage, when you never trouble an opposition in second gear.

Djenepo, Adams and the Armstrong brothers for me. Broja off the bench.

I’m fairly sure Kammy has been drinking on GSS.

There’s no reason to think that was the choice.

Who had 14th minute in the ‘Romeu has to play the rest of the match on a yellow’ sweepstake?
