What he doesn’t find grim - being a shill for Chelsea, convicted cheats

[Liam Tharme @LiamTharmeCoach]

Find it absolutely grim that blocking and grappling rules have become so obsolete in the PL that a scenario like that can even exist to play a key role in deciding the title

Raya fouled? Probably

But let’s look at Rice on Mavropanos, Havertz/Soucek and Odegaard hugging Todibo

Trying to buy a new SIM from @O2 ... website refuses to recognise my address. Customer service via phone is 19 minute wait apparently. Amazed as ever that companies like this stay in business. Like they just don't want my money?

[Will de Quetteville @deq451]

Always worth remembering this in the context of people (journalists) describing Arsenal as pushovers back in the day

[Will de Quetteville @deq451]

This is a terrible hire by @ftweekend .. Jay 'only Giles Coren is more of a c*nt' (to quote an ex - colleague of his) Rayner, especially so when it displaces the excellent Tim Hayward

If @theroyalparks were genuinely concerned about safety, they’d ban cars / though traffic from Regents & Richmond Parks rather than making themselves look stupid re: Strava. The fact that they don’t tells you all you need to know

Alex McCarthy must be near enough the worst goalkeeper ever to play in the Premiership

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Mohamed Salah brings Liverpool level, but Alex McCarthy will not want to see that again...

@shashj I was wondering what Adamski had been up to since he & Seal went their separate ways. Yes, I am old. No, I couldn’t get a (Navy) Seal joke in there

🚨New Nimby Watch!

✊This week, we're off to a mystery site in London, where a veteran Lefty is opposing new social housing and student accommodation…

@LukeTryl The Akehurst quote also excludes inflation. Imho there is a lot to the idea that people attribute their successes (eg wage increases) to their own virtue but their struggles (eg price rises) to bad governance. Hence inflation a killer for incumbents

[Will de Quetteville @deq451]

@LukeTryl Agreed. Succinct without being glib & as a framework flexible enough to respond to events rather than be straight jacketed

[max tempers @maxtempers]

Tony Blair recounts a ridiculous tie design procurement process for an EU summit (featuring an Italian accent).

Not sure any frontline UK politician today could carry a story like that.

I have absolutely no view on this particular case at all but, as reasons for being fired go, ‘loss of confidence in his/her ability to command’ is brutally succinct

[Military Times @MilitaryTimes]

Cmdr. Cayanne McFarlane was ousted from her leadership role due to a "loss of confidence in her ability to command." https://t.co/nXtmvjKi3X

@duncanrobinson @dsquareddigest @dsquareddigest are you saying - & bear with me here - that there’s an accountability sink in the mix?!

Give us more money is perhaps not the most broad minded response to Trump’s election https://t.co/qhst5RMily

[Will de Quetteville @deq451]

@dsquareddigest The economy issue is complex but part of me can’t help but think it comes down to the old saw that people attribute the good (higher wages) to their own virtue & the bad (inflation) to malign forces & that’s always toxic for an incumbent

[Will de Quetteville @deq451]

@yorksranter Christ alive some of the takes this morning 😬😬😬
