Russell Brand found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault bbc.in/4ip1NNA
I saw tweets last week from the scousers saying Jacquet was superior to Saliba.
Error led to our goal on Sunday and been dreadful for all 3 Fenerbahce goals tonight too. Goodness me.
I mean this is utterly absurd. The president ringing up a news channel to complain about their polls and claim their results are “wrong”.
Just come out and (correctly!) say that the incumbent party always loses the midterms, and we all move on. What a country.
One week away from pre-load. I can’t believe this is really happening.
Grand Theft Auto VI pre-load begins on November 10. There’s still time to pre-order and ensure you're able to experience Grand Theft Auto VI when it launches on November 19.

Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th.
Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none.
Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS.
This is fan fic nonsense.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice.
There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must.

Oh my god this is absolutely horrendous.
Rotos de dolor, con un nudo en la garganta y sin poder creer que esto sea verdad, desde el CD Tenerife comunicamos el trágico fallecimiento, este martes, día 3 de noviembre de 2026, a las 8:00 horas, de Jesús de Miguel Alameda.
No hay palabras de consuelo; no hay absolutamente nada que mitigue este sentimiento repleto de tristeza. Estamos junto a su desolada familia, junto a sus seres queridos, junto a todo el tinerfeñismo que hoy llora por este cruel desenlace.
La familia de Jesús de Miguel agradece todas y cada una de las muestras de apoyo recibidas, e igualmente solicita, de corazón, máximo respeto a su privacidad, en estos terribles momentos.
🖤 DEP
I’m biased of course but I truly believe 5 Live is the best coverage in the country by some distance. Absolutely unparalleled commentary, and far better punditry than you get elsewhere. Very proud to be an exceptionally small cog in the wheel.

Million Pound Shot showed the distress gambling operators cause, and it's disproportionately men and boys harmed.
This is a moment for the government to act, says Nick Harvey in @politicshome

I am a recovering gambling addict (yeah - I said it out loud).
#MillionPoundShot just gave me the most horrendous feeling in the pit of my stomach. In the best way. In the right way.
Please please please watch it. And please please please try to understand it.

Thank you #millionpoundshot for making the people harmed by the predatory practices of the online casino industry feel seen
Bradley Walsh’s Million Pound Shot on C4 depicts the anguish felt by so many people who are lured into highly addictive forms of gambling.
It should be a wake-up call to the government to end all gambling ads.
