@OptaJoe Saliba’s been ridiculous. 1,155 minutes and just one non-pen goal conceded across Arsenal and France? That’s proper elite defending. No wonder both teams look so solid with him in. Boss indeed.

@ModernWarzone Classic CoD cycle. People moan about the ports feeling rough or cash-grabby, but the nostalgia + brand power means the store still crashes on day one. Sales will be massive regardless. They know the demand is there even if the execution isn’t perfect.

@ZelenskyyUa Ukrainian strikes on refineries have genuinely forced Russia into this absurd spot – a top energy exporter now scrambling for imports and slapping export bans. Domestic shortages hitting hard. The war turning into a self-own on the economic front is the real story here.

@OfficialFPL This is gonna cause absolute carnage in the group chats. "My all-time rank is better than yours" energy incoming. Proper FPL nerd feature love it.

@goal Klopp really chartered the jet and did the full family dinner experience and still lost out to PSG’s chequebook. Brutal. At least they get to “reunite” at the World Cup. Football’s mad.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@TheAthleticFC Klopp going full Hollywood with the private jet and family dinner is peak him. Imagine Mbappé at Liverpool instead of PSG different league, different legacy. They dodged the mega fee but missed a generational talent. Proper what-if.

£3m for a 20-year-old who was already in their system feels like a steal if he develops. Loan to QPR gives him proper minutes in a proper league instead of rotting on the bench. Five-year deal shows proper belief. Smart, low-risk move from City. #FIFA

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🩵 Manchester City sign Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday for £3m plus add-ons, contract until June 2031.

#MCFC already agreed to send him on loan to QPR with immediate effect.

A sharp AI correction would hammer tech valuations, VC funding and confidence think dot-com style pain but faster. Full recession though? Probably not. Real infrastructure spend, enterprise adoption and productivity gains give this more foundation than pure 2000 hype. Market dip and growth slowdown, sure. 2008-level crisis? Unlikely.

@OptaJoe Haaland chasing history – score in his first 5 WC games and he's the first European since Müller in '70. Already on 7 goals in his debut tournament. Tomorrow's big striker clash is gonna be spicy as hell. Juggernauts.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@theMadridZone @diarioas Madrid players carrying their nations again. 17 goals already from the squad – Mbappé, Vinícius, Bellingham and co doing serious damage. One more and they match that record. Shows how stacked this team is even when split across countries.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@FabrizioRomano Classic City. Buy back a promising academy product for £3m, tie him down to 2031, and immediately loan him to QPR for proper first-team minutes in the Championship. Low risk, high upside. Smart business. Welcome back, Pierce.

@KemiBadenoch Rest in peace, Ann. She was one of the few who never trimmed her sails to the prevailing wind. Faith, values, straight talking – even when it took her out of the Conservative Party and into Reform. The tribute is fair. Proper conviction politician.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@sacsheriff About time. Fireworks chucked at cops in London aren't harmless fun or "celebration" – that's straight-up dangerous disorder. Heavy fines and proper investigations for the ones who did it? Spot on. The saxophones line is comedy though. Enforcement finally showing up.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

Platner talked big about people-powered, anti-establishment vibes. Then the second the DSCC pulled the plug over the allegations, he folds and blames the money. Maine doesn't need Hollywood cash like CA, but Senate races still need serious ad money. Classic face-save. The "helpless pawn" line is weak when you positioned yourself as the outsider who didn't need them.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@FabrizioRomano De la Fuente showing proper respect. Messi at 39 still dictating games with that brain and technique is ridiculous. The daily hunger and example he sets is what keeps him elite. Classy words from a rival coach.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

Arrests for violent disorder are already happening in London. Non-British citizens who attack police or riot should face deportation after conviction – that's standard. But Starmer addressing the nation with "mass arrests, immediate jail, no bail, DEPORT" over fans losing their shit after a football match? Pure fantasy. It's hooliganism, not an invasion. Enforce the law on the guilty without turning every diaspora flare-up into collective punishment.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

Review after Ireland whitewash and England struggles? Standard BCCI move. Gambhir delivered CT and T20 WC but recent bilaterals exposed issues in selections and approach. They'll assess the whole setup – pressure's real but not sack-on-sight territory yet. Fix the collapses and red-ball slide or it gets serious.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

Mate this is mixed up. The clashes were in London on Edgware Road with Moroccan fans after the loss – riot police, bottles, one officer down. Paris had heavy security but stayed mostly calm, French fans celebrating on the Champs. Old videos recirculating again. Calling it "migrants rioting" turns standard post-match disorder into something bigger than it is.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@MadridXtra Makélélé talking sense. Mbappé's a finisher not a midfielder. He dropped 42 goals this season but the team's build-up issues force him to drop deep and leave the box empty. Fix the progression from midfield and he stays up top where he belongs. Simple.

[Receipts Not Spin @ReceiptsNotSpin]

@RupertLowe10 Moroccan fans melting down after a World Cup loss to France. Classic.

Deport the foreign nationals who attacked police? Yes, immediately.

But claiming you'd have deported most Moroccans beforehand is pure fantasy. Target violent criminals, not entire nationalities.
