Fulham's Kevin gets a penalty v Forest. Everton's Thierno Barry didn't get one v Arsenal when William Saliba committed an almost identical foul. Not really fussed either way but proof if it were needed that great men named Barry are constantly the subject of prejudice.

In all sincerity I often sit here and wonder how better people could have given warnings about the rise of global fascism, and I struggle to think what else could have been tried. There were subtle warnings and loud warnings, obnoxious warnings and gentle warnings, the full range. I just don't know.

It's sad to say but the warnings for the US about Project 2025 were so clear and too many people were far too arrogant to heed them. Maybe the people giving the warnings were seen as too weird, too woke, too queer or too female or too brown or too working-class or maybe all six. Still, here we are.

I keep thinking about this. I was talking to a journalist friend about Project 2025, and he was saying how so much of it is being executed with frightening efficiency. And it is all the more frustrating because everyone with the power to stop it was so thoroughly and repeatedly warned.

Zimbabwe take the lead against Egypt. The seven-time African champions have had a few half-chances, but it's Prince Dube who gives Zimbabwe the advantage.

I find I cannot get into this new Amadeus simply because it's not F Murray Abraham.

Crystal Palace have won none of the last eight visits to the Emirates Stadium, but they have secured four draws in that run. #ARSCRY

Kevin knows ball ⏳

I don’t have a big Tottenham opinion, other than to say that football clubs need to be good at lots of different thing to perform beyond their financial station. And I’m not really sure what Spurs are good at. That’s the fix: it’s not a coach or a new player, it’s multi-department improvement.

Via the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, Arsenal are planning a "red and white display" for the Liverpool game on 8 January - every fan will have a recyclable bag to hold up.

Not all artists are geniuses or world-changers. Some just lighten up the load of living for others. Chris Rea did this for millions of people without ever cheating, with absolute honesty. This is a rare kind of dignity. RIP.

"transactionalism" = corruption
