WE'RE NOT LOSING TO MOYES.

I think Gakpo’s not getting enough credit there. He could see the shot was obstructed by the keeper and two defenders, so as he drew his leg back he carefully calculated the ricochet angles and executed the shot perfectly.

This, definitely.

That was Gakpo's goal. Perfectly placed, never an own goal.

Have you watched Salah lately?

Yeah I'd still gamble with him in case he starts playing a bit better.

Nice goal from Robbo too, good to see we're back level so early.

One of more of Nunez, Mo and Bajcetic in the 2nd half then let's win please.
 

We already lost to Everton this week, we're not losing to Moyes straight after.

I hope Bajcetic is subbed on shortly, have got a feeling Endo could see red if he's not extra careful. Mo too so we maybe have a better chance of scoring.

Ok I'm starting to get anxious about our CL place now.

If Trump gets in there will be a federal ban on Twitter and all it's users forceported to Truth Social over night.

I hope he enjoys all the spam filled threads if he does.

It won't.

 

Their own numbers show usage down over 25% in the last year. It would be difficult to have that adverse an effect even if you were trying to drive folks away. Tesla has been found out as well.

Gubmint contracts (Space X/Starlink) are what will keep him up.

Yeah he'd probably be in the shit a lot more if it wasn't for those contracts. I think his main aim with twitter is to try and help swing the election in whatever way he can for Republicans too, maybe after that's over in November he'll start getting bored and backing off more. Or if Trump gets in he might find that helping the US gov more with twitter issues is fine again seeing as they're in power and not Dems.

If???

I meant as in causing him so many problems he has to let it go because of what it's costing him, I suppose when you have the cash he does though there'll always be a way to hold on to it if it's important enough. At least his mask is falling off now and enough people can see that at least.

Any people/groups/corps that would have enough to buy twitter would probably just want to manipulate it to their own ends anyway so maybe the site will never get anywhere near back to what it was before people starting making the mess that it's turned into.

I wonder if Musk's excuse for retweeting that clip is that he's concerned about the "woke mind virus" invading US campuses or some shit, whilst ignoring all of the propaganda that's being spewed there and that the guy spewing it is a genocidal psycho. Complete cunt.

If his owning of twitter does go to shit I hope this becomes remembered as one of the moments where he started outing himself a bit too much before it started to go downhill, he can fuck off with that.

Unlucky Diaz, if that'd just had some spin on it.

A miracle if we pull this back now. Unreal.

Mo, Diaz, Nunez all had chances right in front of goal in almost the same position with just the keeper to beat, it's crazy that we've not scored yet.

Sit down Dyche you're bald.

Wait...

Haha.

I still think one of the main issues here is that he bought one of the Democrats favourite toys and then carried out the crime of saying he might be voting Republican. I'm not saying he's not a danger to democracy, he surely is being one of the richest on the planet and owning twitter with all of the agendas he has. If he'd have been talking about his support for Democrats though a lot of that danger would still exist but I don't think we'd be reading anywhere near as much about it.

Chart is from 2018.

By "they" - I meant Tik Tok.

 

No US court has upheld a Tik Tok ban except for usage by gubmint employees. Those are by individual states.

Ah thanks, thought you meant Trump won. I was wondering how the fuck Biden thought this was going to help his election chances as well but that issue has already been covered :

Tik Tok was already "banned" outright by a Donald Trump Presidential executive order years ago - they won in court.

This is him losing in court and then putting it off by the looks of it : U.S. Judge Halts Trump's TikTok Ban, Hours Before It Was Set To Start

Not sure what happened after that but it looks like things stalled until Biden revoked the bans and now he's about to go ahead with it anyway.

From an outsider's viewpoint America seems to be in the process of tearing itself apart over Israel. Could become a crisis not seen since Vietnam. 

 

The older politicial elite appear and media seem a million miles away from a lot of the younger generations on the issue of Israel and Gaza. I'm wondering how much social media platforms such as tiktok (which I thought was was just kids doing stupid dancing) are having an influence.  Maybe the youngsters are getting information and ideas off each other on social media and not the traditional media outlets? I don't know tbh. What's now obvious is you've got young people as diverse as college graduates through to world champion American boxers (Ryan Garcia, 25, has pledged 20 million dollars to Gaza, link below) speaking out. Their appears a growing divide between the generations.  Possibly why the American political establishment are eager to ban tiktok?  The snapshot below shows how deep the divisions.

Yeah the TikTok ban is described well in this clip I think :

Glad that the changes worked and that the goal from open play thing is finally dealt with. I really hope more of our strikers can get goals shortly too to help us get confidence sorted out more for the games left.

Diaz has been better there than anything I've seen in 2024

Yeah thought he played well too, mainly wanted Mo to get some chances against a tired Fulham.

Had to wait for VAR for that one, thought they were going to say he was off. Nice one Jota.

Gravenberch FROM OPEN PLAY. Awesome goal and assist from Harvey too. Have some of that.

I really hope Mo is brought on early.
