Bookies always know best. Team Harris was counting on crucial swing state North Carolina to win, and lost. Don't know why I thought that all those ex Republican governors publicly saying they're voting for Harris, and 40/44 of Trump's most senior appointees and generals saying they're voting for Harris, and EVERY former National Security Advisor warning against Trump would hold sway with the average US voter. Perhaps DJR knows better with that "funny lot the Americans" quip. Would hardly be the first time I was wrong. I think I can hear the long distant ex in-laws shouting that they'd like a word.

Excellent stuff bruh, how brilliant. Even 18 and 21 years ago I found it impossible to get tickets.

😂 I cannot disagree.

I'll stick my neck out and state it won't be as close as that, or as close as many analysts are predicting. 2 or 3 clear points between them. Without writing many pages of reasoning: 1. Many former Republican governors and reps have gone public about voting for Harris. Schwarzenegger, Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, Geoff Duncan, Flake, Gonzalez, Riggleman, Upton, Rath, Humphrey, Grisham, Cowles, Giles, Negroponte, William Webster, Troye. Oh, and even former vice president Dick Cheney. 2. And that's not even counting the 40 out of 44 of Trump's top cabinet appointees and advisors and generals all stating that he's unsuited and that they are voting for Harris. 3. Early voting shows that women have turned up in larger numbers than ever before, outnumbering men. Loads and loads of daughters and wives have pledged to "cancel" their Republican fathers' and husbands' votes by voting blue all down the ballot. 4. There's something else also going on. I wish I'd screenshotted all those long-time regular guy Republican old boys and grandfathers openly stating that they're voting Dem for the first time in their lives for the sake of their daughters' and grandchildren's healthcare in the post-Roe vs Wade era. The consequences have been devastating. The details and numbers are nuts, with kids as young as 10 being denied intervention with their rape pregnancies.

It's been fascinating. Hmmm... Who to choose? A 34 time convicted felon (only 91 more felony criminal charges to go) who is a Russian asset, or a long-time prosecutor who has taken down drug cartels and corrupt businessmen and politicians and who has a scrupulously clean record.

Thank you Spurs, respect from me and I imagine from many other footie fans. And Tottenham could have scored a couple more on the counter. Even if Pep Guardiola had a smile at the end to pretend like it didn't matter much, he hated losing. Thanks, Spurs. Pep OUT!

Saints a bit unlucky with that Archer crossbar shot, and a bit hard done by that Downes yellow card. Terrible decision for a great tackle on Silva. How dare he dispossess a Man City player!? I'd also throw my arms up in dissent after being penalised for such a great tackle.

An oldie, and still fun. We were kids watching these on our TV screens in the 1970's and 80's.

After some remarkable successes over the past year and a tough crash in April this guy, on his hard-to-miss ride, said it would be a win just to arrive in Como today. Romain Bardet DNS'd, no reason given. Edit: Also, looking forward to see if Maincheese might be up for it.

Well done, 360° vigilance wins the day.

The club's chief football and money clouts meet today. Ruud van Nistelrooy was mostly summoned to step in, I reckon.

Have to agree with one of the greatest football writers, while watching I too thought that was a nailed-on second yellow and a send off for Rashford. Consistency issues, this league's match officials are the worst in that regard.

Mrs Lill going great guns and looking like she's up for it. Go Candice!
