Standing on the brink of history.

Massive contrast between how Palace fans treat Eze compared to how West Ham fans treat Rice

Identical situations

Palace a club with class

West Ham a club with none

Greatest picture I have laid eyes on

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Lloyd's of London had a $200 million problem floating 210 miles above Earth. So they called NASA and said: go get our satellites back.

NASA charged them $5.5 million. For that price, they got two astronauts in nitrogen jetpacks, flying untethered at 17,500 mph, manually stopping spinning satellites by jamming a spike into their rocket nozzles, then having a third astronaut swing them into the shuttle cargo bay with a robotic arm.

The first retrieval went wrong. The grapple fixture didn't work. Joe Allen had to hold a 9,600-pound satellite over his head by its antenna for an entire 90-minute orbit while Gardner bolted an adapter to the bottom. His wife radioed from Houston: "Make sure there are no pigeons on your shoulders."

They did the second satellite two days later. Ran an hour ahead of schedule.

When Discovery landed at Kennedy Space Center, a Customs official (arranged by NASA pranksters) confronted the crew about duties owed on $200 million in imported satellite equipment. Lloyd's awarded them silver medals, flew them to London on the Concorde, and arranged tea with Prince Charles.

Gardner held up a "For Sale" sign next to the satellites. The jetpack he used was permanently retired. No human has flown untethered in space since.

$5.5 million for a $200 million repo. The best ROI in insurance history came from two guys in jetpacks.

Maybe we should stop asking people to pay more tax - and start asking where all the money’s going.

"I've never seen a kid with so much quality IN MY LIFE."
"I am so confident he will be one of the best English players we've EVER SEEN."

Jamie Redknapp remembers when he first met Max Dowman in his infancy, and has high hopes for the young talent...

It was only ever Arsenal.

A boyhood Gooner, our new number 10 – welcome home, Ebere ❤️

Didn’t give us what we desperately needed in August or January. August was concerning, January was criminal. This is where the blame lies.

IMO no club has a divine right to win anything. I’ve only ever wanted Arsenal to compete & for me that’s exactly what we’re doing. The players enjoy playing for the club & have a connection with the fans not seen in years. Thats down to Arteta. For me he’s the man.

"If you want players yellow carded for that we're going to have a lot of players sat in the stands this season" 🟨

Dermot Gallagher agrees with the on-field decision to not caution Wilfred Ndidi for delaying the restart ⏱️

[North Bank Highbury @NorthBankerAFC]

This happened just last week.

We were told, even though he was already on a yellow here, kicking the ball away wasn’t a bookable offence because he wasn’t delaying a restart.
