What the shelves look at Aldi in their Fiesta ice cream bar section after Walls” horrendous and hopefully ill fated decision to change the Feast bar recipe

Well done Beth! https://t.co/32PClnxBH1

Goalkeeper - Arrizabalaga
Def - White, Merino, Timber, Calafiori
Mid - Zubimendi, Norgaard, Madueke, Martinelli
Fwds - Eze, Gyokeres
Subs - Dowman, Jesus

That team probably finishes top 4 in league??? And that is Arsenal’s bench tonight!! Good players one and all. Something to aspire to for all the top teams and hopefully for Spurs to have a long hard look at.

Finally summer has arrived

This is an unsurprising number to anyone who has played a peer to peer game like poker. We've simply traded OMGClayAiken and durrrr for Domer and Susquehanna

This was the biggest choke miss in any sport since Scott Hoch and probably ever. A professional snooker player is 99.9999% to pit that from there.

YOU JUST CANT BELIEVE THIS GAME SOMETIMES!

Per @sportradar, Alex Cora is 1st manager to get fired after winning a game by 16+ runs since the New York Metropolitans fired Bob Ferguson following an 18-2 win over the Cleveland Spiders in 2nd game of a DH on May 30, 1887

[Rupert Bolingbroke @ramsbobby40]

Thank you Alex Cora for the memories, you’re a good man and a class act. I hope you get a big cheer the next time you are there.

🚨 Rochdale and York City have released the following joint statement:

“This Saturday’s game brings an end to one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable title races in football history. Both ourselves and Rochdale have the chance to write our names in National League history.

The National League is no longer a non-league competition. It is effectively a League 3, with fully professional clubs operating at a level equal to or higher than many of those in League 2.

We both understand how important this game is to both clubs and supporters. We both pledge now that whatever happens tomorrow, we will both continue to fight for 3UP.

Both clubs sit on over 100 points. One of us will have to fight once more in the National League Play-Offs. However, we both strongly believe that this shouldn’t have to be the case.

We call on the National League, Football Regulator, EFL and Premier League to come together immediately and resolve this issue, so that we do not have to highlight this injustice year after year.

For both sets of supporters attending the Crown Oil Arena this weekend, we say thank you for being with us all season. The passion you’ve shown for both clubs has been felt across the world. This game will be seen far and wide. We want to showcase this league for all its potential. Keep your support in the stands, not on the pitch, and let’s all protect the game we love.

Thank you!

Rochdale AFC & York City FC”

Is the dam bursting?

NEW: We are short $SRAD Sportradar. The self-proclaimed 'FBI of gambling' knowingly powers the world's illegal sportsbooks. We ran an undercover sting at ICE Barcelona where we told its sales team we wanted to target illegal markets. SRAD was eager to do business.

NEW REPORT: We are short Sportradar Group AG $SRAD, a self-styled "Sports Integrity" leader with ties to illegal gambling, sanctioned parties, criminals, and a completely fake regulator. We believe Sportradar’s ties to illegality pose an existential threat.🧵

@nickkokonas Yes yes yes. It was and always will be the courses. And LIV never had them, and likely could not have got them.

Since 1997 Tiger Woods has as many DUIs and car crashes as the Dallas Cowboys have playoff wins.

Does any human, ever, have a larger skill gap than Tiger Woods golfing versus Tiger Woods driving a vehicle?

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea.
Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get?

Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right.
Let me know what you think

1987 cricket World Cup final (50 overs)
Australia score 253, Boon 75 off 125
England in reply manage 246 with the tail running out of steam after Tim Robinson (who he?) first ball duck

2026 T20 WC final
India score 253, Samson (having not had his hair cut) 89 off 42
England in reply manage 246 running out of steam in the “death overs”

[Oliver Kahn @OliverKahn]

Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal.
Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas.
The goal was disallowed and I was sent off — still it earned me legendary status. 😉
