They aren't much better in League One.

Who picked Aluko at LB for his debut against a team with skilled wingers? Marti Cifuentes. Who should've pulled the lad, seeing how easily he got beaten for pace? Marti Cifuentes.

Well, from what I gather, Marti Cifuentes teams aren't renowned for fighting back from 2-0 down... So... It's going to be a long night.

An own goal.

Looking like a 9-1 tonight. We look clueless, shaken to the core.

Regardless of the offside position, that's just very poor marking by Faes.

And back to the good old days of inconsistency.

Udo Kier dead at 81. Most people will remember him from Blade.

See my post on the first page about Ukiyo-e. Hokusai is only the tip of the iceberg.

Two "glimpses of genius" in the first half. But the rest of the match? Pretty much forgettable. Drab play, three points. I'll take it. That's Daka's goal of for the season, then.

And once more, we're inviting pressure after taking the lead. And again, what a change in performance from one half to the other. Just so predictable.

The drought is over. Daka makes it 2-0.

A lot of frustration went into that shot. Sloppy build-up by Stoke, but I'll take that. 1-0 Leicester. Mavididi.

I quite like the new Mazda 6e. Even though it's a rebranded Chinese car sold at a higher price.

Big fan of Alphonse Mucha (more famous for his illustrations) and Albert Lynch

Watched both Smile and Smile 2 over the weekend. Enjoyable, with some very good jump scares. Theoretically, the franchise can run forever. Personally, I'd like to see a Smile: Origins.

I think it's great that you're able to elaborate on your point of view so succinctly. As for the plainclothes agents, I refer to this hearing, for example: It's still not clear how so many votes in favour of Biden suddenly popped up OVERNIGHT, even the AP cannot explain the highly unusual spike: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-9647421250 The march and the attacks on the Capitol started before Trump had finished his speech. There were people hell-bent on getting into the building, regardless of the speech. Blanket pardons? Not all protestors were pardoned; 14 sentences were commuted (for fringe activists with the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys). And? Verbatim, he said the election was stolen. That's his opinion, down in parts to him being a sore loser, not overly tactful, I concur. He did not say "trash the Capitol", he said fight for your country (in a patriotic sense). If I say something stupid and the other side takes it literal, who's at fault? Probably both.

I'm not that naïve. As I've mentioned before, it doesn't matter what party holds the power in the US, neither one of them wants to clean the closet. They're both as bad as the other. But is it better to stick one's head into the sand? Everything's open for debate these days. At least they've released (some of) the JFK files. Haven't heard much news on that one, though.

I agree. Tell me that despite the sheer endless amount of funding pouring in, cutting costs or sacking longtime employees is helping? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62723769#:~:text="A big one that we,) and left by choice." Or the fact that the Beeb has lost a considerable amount of its TV audience in recent years? https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66369532.amp They have in their own hands to rectify their reputation issue.

You‘ll find that the BBC is tearing itself down, for everyone to see.

That's a nice way of describing deceitful editing. To me, that is malicious intent. And the fact that it happens so often today makes it all the more troubling. What would it have cost in editing to include a disclaimer originally, stating the two shots were 54 minutes apart? We all know Trump's a rambler, so I'd take anything he says with a pinch of salt. Judge him by his actions.

Well, if you still believe the January 6 narrative the media has spun, there's plenty of video material to prove otherwise (with regards to "storming the Capitol"). To this day, there's serious questions as to how many agents were present as instigators in the crowd that day or why Capitol police was pretty much nowhere to be seen and/or understaffed (that particular day). Or why the protestors were led inside the building without much resistance – and then even shown around. Or the amount of deaths that day (1 being the result of a direct break-in; two were unrelated heart attacks, one a drug overdose, one was a stroke, plus four suicides in the days after). Which brings us back to the edited video of Trump's speech, in which he said: "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." How is that inciting violence or instructing a crowd to overthrow a newly-elected government? On a sidenote: Remember the pipe bomb story from that day? There's talk about it being another inside job, executed by a police officer turned agent. Just as many others, millions of Americans and people across the globe, I'd like answers as to what really transpired that day – truth and justice.

So it's ok when the BBC does it? If you're fine with them continuing to lose their credibility, go ahead. I think it's a sad state of affairs. The Trump delusion and sick desire for clickbait content rears its ugly head. Remember, this is a state-funded institution that receives millions billions in taxpayer money each year. To me, it's just another example of a cherished brand that built a reputation for being reliable being destroyed by activism within.

Tough to proceed with this one: He said this as a US citizen, in the US. It falls under Free Speech. And bringing a former or present US president to court? Good luck with that. I'm still waiting for a court date for George W. Bush (9/11, Iraq invasion), Barack Obama (crimes against humanity, Guantanamo, Afghanistan) or Joe "Sleepyhead" Biden (incompetence).

It's been made public before, with Virginia Giuffré's name unredacted. A year ago, if I'm not mistaken. And she testified to Trump's innocence. I just love the liberal media's Trump spin, it's become so predictable. Where were the calls for justice during the Biden or Obama presidency? Wonder why it's gaining traction again during/towards the end of a shutdown? Release the files.
