I would rather lose games with the likes of Mohammad Wasim and Abbas Afridi than continuously losing them with someone like Haris Rauf. Has been happening since 2022.
Should be end of the line for him unless he is willing to improve.
FT: Brentford 3-1 #MUFC
There are just no excuses anymore. This manager cannot continue. He is completely out of his depth. There is ZERO justification for this:
-32 pts in 35 #PL games
-17 LOSSES in 35 games
We are going nowhere. Still can't string two wins together. #BREMUN
Usman Khawaja was charged by the International Cricket Council for sporting a black armband in a Test match against Pakistan in support of people in Gaza.
The batter had worn trainers with the slogans "freedom is a human right" and "all lives are equal" in training ahead of the series opener in Perth with the writing in red, green and black - the colours of the Palestinian flag.
ICC response "Usman displayed a personal message [armband] during the first Test match against Pakistan without seeking the prior approval of Cricket Australia and the ICC to display it, as required in the regulations for personal messages. This is a breach under the category of an 'other breach' and the sanction for a first offence is a reprimand"
Moeen Ali wore bands saying "Free Palestine" and "Save Gaza" during a Test match against India and was warned not to wear the wristbands showing support for Gaza.
ICC response "Moeen Ali was told by the match referee that whilst he is free to express his views on such causes away from the cricket field, he is not permitted to wear the wristbands on the field of play and warned not to wear the bands again during an international match"
Suryakumar Yadav "this victory is dedicated to our brave soldiers. We sincerely pay tribute to the Indians who lost their lives in the Pahalgam attack. We stand firmly with their families. The bravery of the army always inspires us, and we wish to bring smiles to their faces whenever we get the chance"
ICC response – asleep

🚨Unpopular opinion:
Daniel James was far better than Jadon Sancho for Manchester United and also has a better career than him in Premier League.

Oh my Lord.
In the air strike on Majida al-Waseela school shelter a few minutes ago, this is what remained of a child.
Oh my Lord.
Oh my Lord.
Oh my Lord.
I cannot believe we are still watching this!!!!! https://t.co/d65b2oyO8E

I remember that when George Bush bombed an Al Jazeera office in Iraq, killing reporter Tariq Ayoub, it was a huge scandal.
In Gaza, it’s been normalized. By Netanyahu. Aided and better by Biden, Trump, and western media.
This is my will and my final message.
If my words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.
First, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
God knows that I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would grant me life to return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), occupied land. But God’s will was swifter, and His decree is binding.
I lived pain in all its details, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is—without distortion or falsification—hoping God would bear witness against those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who besieged our breaths, and whose hearts were not moved by the shattered bodies of our children and women, nor did they stop the massacre our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim world and the pulse of every free heart in this world.
I entrust you with its people, with its innocent children who were not granted the time to dream or live in safety and peace.
Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart, their remains scattered on the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward liberating the land and the people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.
I entrust you with my family.
I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter, Sham, whom fate did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grew strong, carrying my burden and continuing the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers were the reason I reached where I did. Her supplications were my fortress, and her light my path.
I pray God to ease her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan, from whom war separated us for long days and months, but who remained faithful, steadfast like an olive tree trunk that never bends, patient and devout, carrying the trust in my absence with strength and faith.
I urge you to gather around them and be their support after God Almighty.
If I die, I die steadfast on my principles, bearing witness to God that I am satisfied with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting.
O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path to freedom for my people and family.
Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to the covenant, never changing or betraying it.
Do not forget Gaza…
And do not forget me in your good prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what Anas ordered to be published upon his martyrdom.
When you wish to sleep, spread out your mattress facing the qibla and lie on your right side, as one dead lies in the grave. Know that sleep is like death, and waking is like resurrection. It may be that Allāh Most High will take your soul by night, so be ready to meet Him by sleeping in a state of purity, your will written and placed beneath your pillow, in a state of repentance over sins, begging forgiveness, decisive about never disobeying Allāh Almighty again.
You must resolve to do good to all people if Allāh Almighty, Most Majestic, should allow you to rise again.
Remember that you will be put in the grave this way, all alone, with nothing but your needs, and you will be rewarded only for your endeavours.
Do not go to great lengths to induce sleep by preparing your bed in the most comfortable manner, because sleep is an interruption of life - unless being awake is a burden for you, in which case your being asleep is safer for your religion. (An excerpt from Imām al-Ghazālī’s book: ‘The Beginning of Guidance’, translated by Mashhad Al-Allaf).
A month ago, Diogo Jota died an a car accident. The whole world mourned him. His photos were everywhere.
Today Israel killed a soccer star while seeking aid.
No one will hear about him. No one will see his photo. No one will mourn him except for his family and friends.
