    VAR calls leave De Rossi and Spalletti fuming as Napoli prevail at the last | Nicky Bandini

    I feel like VAR is getting a bit too big for its boots ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, it's meant to help referees make accurate calls, but sometimes it just ends up causing more problems than it solves ๐Ÿ’”.

    I'm feeling Eddie Howe might be onto something with his approach ๐Ÿค”. The stats show he's been doing well at Brentford & Leeds, but I think he's right to question whether that style will cut it everywhere ๐Ÿ”ฎ.

    Giorgia Meloni's face on a church mural is offensive โ€“ but not for the reason the Vatican thinks | Jonathan Jones

    ๐Ÿค” I'm tellin' ya, this whole thing with Giorgia Meloni's portrait on the church mural is like, super fishy ๐ŸŸ. First off, the artist says he was pressured by the Vatican to take it down?
