I don't know that all of this is fully accurate - but my goodness - it's a very long list of actions that would suggest that America is in very deep doo doo.

While some selections/ changes have not workrd recently, historically he's been brilliant at that aspect of his role (the core driver of the 'Genius' chant surely) - but I'm impressed his post - match demeanour and comments. A calm and honest leader needed now. The Cottage Tactico

Hugh O'Flaherty, an Irish Catholic priest, saved approximately 6,000 Allied soldiers and Jews in Nazi-occupied Rome during World War II. Operating from the safety of the Vatican, he masterminded a vast underground network of safe houses, farms, and convents to shelter those in

So many messages and such a powerful and moving experience at the #Banksy Museum in #Krakow. Well worth a visit! My favourite "Nola - Umbrella Girl" Sometimes you can't see the rain under everyone's umbrella ❤️

Not my aircraft - but off to see Fulham v Wolves. A nervy one today but hopefully a turning point. 3 points would help draw a line under a difficult few weeks with injuries and provide much needed momentum going into a key Nov / December fixture list.

Excellent summary in ⁦Irish Times Business⁩ this morning. Most CEO's overseeing a performance like this would be fired. The board and investors need to get real, not throw bad money after bad. Tesla shareholders must finally stand up to Elon Musk irishtimes.com/business/work/…

The Soldier by Rupert Brooke If I should die, think only this of me:       That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be       In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,       Gave, once, her

The Soldier
by Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
      That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
      In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
      Gave, once, her

Well beaten. Everton energy flagged a bit in 2nd half after a ferocious press and work rate in the first. Big pitch gave them space that we couldn't cover. Hard to see any standout performers in the Fulham squad. A sobering afternoon. Onwards to Sunderland at home - thankfully!
