Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Anyone at United, Liverpool or Arsenal in a plausibly senior position can ring up any number of sports hacks and create wishful thinking news stories.... that is all that is happening....

Man Utd have picked up just 7 points from a possible 21 to start the 2026/27 season, but their struggles are nothing new. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United have been one of the Premier League’s worst-performing clubs relative to the money invested in their squad. Valuball Cost vs Performance analysis ranks United 34th out of 35 clubs since 2013/14. Only QPR rank worse, and they spent just ONE season in the Premier League during that period. Liverpool are included for comparison, sitting at the complete opposite end of the spectrum!

It doesn't matter a jot what "rumours" Martin Keown has heard if, as @ManCity has always maintained, the IC simply ignored evidence, chose not to believe witnesses and got it wrong. Why would the club settle early and take any point deduction given its statements, its clear and consistent stated case which has never changed.

All this stuff about what punishment is likely to be handed to @mancity is either nonsense or leaked. If it's leaked then it's yet further evidence for MCFC that the PL's rules for this process are being broken again: premierleague.com/en/news/47… Someone clearly can't help themselves.

In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal on America’s word. This month, the president traded that word for a diesel deal with Putin. Watch what he does for Putin. It shows what he wants to do with his power over you. 👇🏼

Jesus. Look at this. Really look at it from @peterbakernyt

Is it too much to hope that Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine and his sucking up to a murderous dictator who despises all that is good about America will further damage him in the mid-terms rather than, as he hopes, help him? If it is the latter then we really have to wonder whether the problem with America goes a lot deeper than Trump, and will outlive him.

Sources with understanding of Manchester City’s case have told Telegraph Sport the club are bullish about their appeal, based on: 🔴 Contemporaneous bank statements, government records and receipts they believe confirm the Abu Dhabi government as the source of funds for financing of deals 🔴 More recent evidence from the Abu Dhabi government reaffirming the accuracy of the original records 🔴 What they view as fundamental inconsistencies in the findings @Tom_Morgs and @mcgrathmike have the details ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

“Thanks for supporting us and staying behind us.” 💬🩵 🤝 @okx

3 mins added on in the Arsenal game by the way. Wonder what it would’ve been if it was 0-0 going into it …

Holy shit @SecRubio... Where is your integrity and your soul? Do you even remember who you were?

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.

If Europe and Britain need another wake-up call to strengthen their defences urgently, here it is…

Helium is a flammable gas, bananas are filled with your tears!
