He outed you as a cheat and you don't like it. Funny that

We live in interesting times... Removing the man who has driven nvidia to the centre of the AI bubble and has so much of its fortune resting on its future success...
BREAKING: Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang following allegations of two extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy, WSJ reports. The board could meet as soon as today to discuss his future.

What a surprise. It was obvious at the time. This is where var let's itself down. Ref may have seen it so doesn't get involved but not at an angle which shows how clear a penalty it was
Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal after Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, the Premier League's KMI Panel has ruled. The KMI Panel produced a split 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened. 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Sad news to hear... I didn't listen to him religiously but any show he appeared on was always improved with him there.
This morning I was told of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Danny Kelly. The tributes to him in the coming days from those who knew him and worked with him will give you an idea of how much he was loved. I loved him too. Very much so. A man who I called "Dad" on air because I wished he was. I hope you give me a few minutes to read my thoughts, and I hope they do you justice, Dan. By 2008 I was a mess. I would sleep 18 hours a day, the other 6 mostly wanting to die. Once or twice a week I would open my laptop, organise football tabs, gossip and news as prep for jobs in broadcasting that I knew would never come, "just in case". When hope dies, we die, after all. Then Danny Kelly came into my life. I was driving out of London having been to see a psychiatrist about the state I was in and had BBC London on the radio. Danny was presenting with a guest, reviewing books. My name came up in the conversation, so I called in. We hit it off straight away, talked about football for what seemed like forever but was probably a standard 10-12 minute section. But for me it sparked a temporary respite from sleep and chronic mental health issues and even for that I was grateful. A couple of years later Danny joined talkSPORT to do the 7-10pm slot through the week. He told me he was offered a few co-presenters but he remembered that conversation we had and he wanted me to do it. A lifeline of work, passionately talking about our sport, having fun and feeling a value as a human again. Something lost for 7 long years. Danny gifted me that. Without that I know I wouldn't be writing this today. "Always fresh, never frozen" was the tagline in a Domino's read we had to do in the show, something we'd instinctively greet each other with until our last meeting, in a pub, broadcasting for talkSPORT around 3 years ago. I didn't know that time would be the last, but perhaps fittingly we hugged as I left, I'm glad I did. The shows were loved. They were funny, honest, insightful and I hope, along with Saggers after that, proof that Danny's belief in me was worthy. But to say my love for him was only thanks for a job doesn't even scratch the surface. His kindness, his phone calls late at night ( Dan was a notorious night owl) of support, his man hugs, his indomitable spirit, his big brain on anything from football to music to geopolitics, his love, as I know many others will testify, came from the biggest of hearts and the biggest of souls housed in a giant of a man in every sense. Dan, thank you, thank you for the kindness, the fun, the hope, the support and for being someone to look up to and aspire to be. I love you very much, I know I'll hug you again some day. Thank you for everything. "I love football Stan, I love it ".

Holy f. It would appear the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
Journalist, "Do you have a message for the victims?" Russel Brand's Father, "Victims? What victims? What Russel?" Journalist, "Not Russel, his victims" RBF "The girls you mean, who chased him and harassed him?" Journalist, "No his victims" RBF, "I don't care. it's just history" My view: You can love your son and still show compassion for the women he hurt. A few words acknowledging what it took for them to come forward would hardly have been a betrayal. What exactly gives Russell Brand’s father the right to call it “just history”? He can walk away from that interview and get on with his day. He has no idea what any of those women still carry with them. It’s the word “just” that’s so cruel. The women know how long ago it happened. They’re the ones who lived through it. His remark tells them that, in his view, enough time has passed for him to dismiss what his son did. Nobody asked him to stop loving his son. He was asked if he had anything to say to the women his son hurt. He could have said he was sorry for what they’d been through. He chose to tell them he didn’t care.

Always liked Frank but how much was him and how much was the system behind him at Brentford? Guess palace will be a good test ..
Thomas Frank has emerged as a leading candidate to take over as manager if Crystal Palace decide to sack Pierre Sage 🚨 No decision has been taken yet, but the Frenchman is likely to lose his position following a seventh league defeat of the season after Sunday's 3-1 home loss to Liverpool, which has left the Eagles bottom of the Premier League.

Farage above the law it seems...
I wrote this post just over a year ago when I discovered that Farage had failed to declare any outside income for five months. We're in an identical position now, one year later. The last declaration in his Register of Interests is from the 20th of April — six months ago. Those three declarations covered his, at the time, recent buy in to Kwasi Kwarteng's crypto platform, Slack BTC and a donation of £1,749 from entrepreneur, Avi Lasarow. In 2025 the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Daniel Greenberg, established that Farage had failed to register 17 interests within the required 28-day deadline. Why is he now pulling the same trick? Does Farage truly believe himself to be above the law and outside of the rules of his employment?

Would you believe it, another one from reform! Surprised he hasn't gone to the court citing suicide risk...

Never quite understand the nature of appeals if the only thing is you disagree with the decisions?! This is potentially a chilling restriction on a free press to name people suspected of shocking crimes. Publishing the name may encourage more victims to come forward.

This is going to get messy. Any democrat win is fraud. And Republican win is fine.
It’s going to be a long day with these dipshits.

I guess some people just don't have the filter for when to say things and when not. Amused how he doesn't argue that, say, patents for medicine should be better used for public good and not horded or similar!

How cool is this!
Leigh Ashton, and me old Ocean mucka @MarkRJones1970 have taken Spectrum Wizball, fixed all the bugs, added in Mark's missing graphics, and added in the C64 and ST Music alongside Peter Clarke's original. Go grab it, for free, finally a worthy conversion of Wizball.

Really not sure why this is a crime. It serves no purpose to make criminals of people in this way.

Talk about kicking a team when they're down
Roy Hodgsons Liverpool had 2 more points after 9 games than this United team btw

But surely as it's in a shootout, it doesn't actually count as a goal on his record? He's still on zero scored... (don't get me wrong, a fit and firing Joe is an asset to any team)
That’s an incredibly elaborate night orchestrated by us just to let Gomez score in front of the Kop.

Oh dear, Tommy Robinson found guilty. What a shame.

Inspiring leadership from the most powerful man in the world... !
I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because ‌I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’
