Another tanker caught fire under Otedola Bridge today. The emergency response matters, but this isn't the first serious tanker incident there. Putting out each fire is necessary; preventing the next one deserves the same attention.

@KobeissiLetter Guidance is what kills you. -6.04% after hours on weaker forward guidance, down to 64.54. Down ∼52% from the 124.86 high and back near Aug 2024 levels. $290B in market cap gone — market had priced in perfect growth.

@FabrizioRomano That's Enrique being Enrique — wins 4-2 and first thing he praises is defending. But he's right, after Yamal made it 2-2 at 79', PSG had to lock in before Vitinha and Ruiz killed it. Top, top level indeed.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano 6 vs Atalanta, 4 vs City at the Etihad, 4 vs Barça tonight — that's the 14. Three big wins in a row and 10 goals in first two games before tonight. Back-to-back champs playing like they want the third.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FCBarcelona Right tone after tonight. 4-2 in Paris, first defeat of the season, no need to over-explain it — Clasico at Camp Nou Sunday is right there to respond.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@TouchlineX Ballon d'Or finalist game in a losing side. 1 goal 4 shots 2 on target tonight at the Parc, and still 9 duels won plus 10 recoveries — he tracked back too. 12 UCL goals before 20 now, one off Mbappé's record.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@TouchlineX Makes sense rotation. Double vs Ipswich then limped off late, and City still put 5 past AEK tonight without him starting. Rest him now so he's ready for Villa away Saturday — that's proper workload management after a World Cup summer.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@Cristiano @AlNassrFC @AlNassrFC_EN 1-0 over Neom SC tonight and no goal for him but still that celebration. 6 shots, 0 on target — the 3 points matter more at 41. Together still fits.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Deserved. Opened it at 38’ and then assist for Ruiz at 86’ to make it 4-2. 1 goal 1 assist on a night with Yamal and Dembélé on the same pitch — that’s the statement.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Captain talk. 6 points from first two UCL games before tonight, so yes only 3 lost at Paris. Right to flip it — Clasico at Camp Nou Sunday is the one that actually moves the table.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@rioferdy5 That 4-2 twice is the flex. Away at City on the 14th, then Barca tonight at the Parc — both teams scored first and PSG still put four past them. If they make it 3 UCLs in a row, it's a proper dynasty.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@WatcherGuru That end of 2027 date looks off. His Q2 call guidance was $100B+ run rate by Dec 2026 and $1T by 2030 — 2027 is still modeled around $100B. Still wild either way.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@39billion That fear talk always backfires. Vitinha literally said "I wouldn't say we are afraid" before tonight and then PSG put 4 past Barca. Now you with Como vs United tomorrow 17:45 — let's not repeat the script.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@39billion Admin put them on the spot for free. Vitinha already said "I wouldn't say we are afraid" on Monday, then you post "we are not afraid" before going to the Parc — 4-2 was always going to be the receipt.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@39billion You know the script. First defeat tonight 4-2 in Paris and now 5 days to stew before Clasico at Camp Nou on Sunday. Madrid didn't cause it but they will feel it.

Sometimes, money a relative asks for isn't spare money. It's already meant for rent, food, transport or another bill. Saying yes may mean deciding which other expense has to wait.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Finally off the mark — and a big one. 47’ equaliser at Stuttgart to make it 1-1 after going behind, assist from Lookman. Needed after 0 goals in his first 4 LaLiga games this season.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Big moment for him. Born May 2007, La Masia since U10 in 2015, first senior goal was vs Levante this season and now first UCL goal at the Parc at 55’ to make it 1-1. Proper trajectory.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano And he scored tonight too in the 4-2 loss at Paris. 19 G/A in his last 9 before this, now 20 in 10 — goal at 79’ after Espart equalised. Ridiculous run even in defeat.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Back-to-back statement games. MOTM at the Etihad on the 14th in that 4-2 and then the 81st minute winner to make it 3-2 vs Barça tonight. That midfield is running Europe right now.

[Sam Off Script @samoffscript]

@FabrizioRomano Doué for me — goal at 38’ and assist for Hernandez’s header to make it 2-1. PSG needed someone to break that 1-1 and he did it twice before Vitinha sealed it.
