Halloween in Iran… The Islamic Republic calls Halloween a “Western vice” and tries to ban it. But young Iranians have a message for the ayatollahs: You don’t get to decide how we live, dress, dance, or celebrate. While the new “supreme leader “ and other mullahs hide in fear, the young generation is out there celebrating their own lifestyle. The regime wants to turn Iran into a graveyard. This generation is determined to turn it into a dance floor.

FT 1-1 First half Villa's, second half mostly Fulham. Not a chance Fulham struggle this season, seeds are there for a good young side in the making, creative, pacey, controlling. Tactically, Arbaloa got the second half spot on, always had a spare man. Villa's issue was midfield legs second half and couldn't string passages of play together to create anything regularly, easily turned over which Fulham pounced on. To the Camp Nou.

Gen Z’s response to the restrictions imposed by the Islamic Republic.For Iranian youth, simply doing anything that goes against the Islamic Republic's ideology is an act of resistance.
The Islamic Republic banned Halloween celebrations in Iran. Even selling Halloween-related items was prohibited, and police were deployed throughout the streets to prevent people from gathering for Halloween.

Iranians celebrating Halloween in Tehran. Young Iranians are completely done with Islam. Less than 2% still practice the religion. When the Islamic regime inevitably falls, Iran will become one of the closest allies of America and the West.

Fulham have looked like being a confident centre forward short of a very decent team in the last 3 league games.

🚨Understand that Álvaro Arbeloa's position is hanging by a thread at Fulham. I'm told that a failure to secure 3 points against Hull City next week will likely spell the end of his tenure. The club are already sounding out potential replacements behind the scenes. However, Eddie Howe is expected to turn down any approach from the board, as he is currently holding out for a vacancy at a larger club. A massive week ahead at the Cottage. #FFC #FulhamFC

Being a member of virtually any synagogue in the UK as a Jew is now racist behaviour according to Green Party policy. This is horrifying and must be condemned across politics.

Oh I bet you could smell the excitement in the room when the Greens stumbled on to that "one weird quirk" of Iranian society (that they are among the global leaders in so-called "transgender reassignment surgery). You just know they were pumped they found a reason to "legitimately " support Islam - ppl are starting to notice the unholy alliance between Western Leftists and Islamists after all - so they are able to justify their continued slide into Islamism. Now they get to push for their continued flirtation with Big Muslim because of their "strong and tolerant open-minded" culture of Islamic countries, such as Iran. Nvm that the primary mechanism of that quirk is as a direct result of Iran's extreme homophobia (one of the few situations where that word has actual meaning, and not just used in bad-faith as a social cudgel), and the Iranians are so gung-ho about GRS because they despise homosexuals and they see that surgery as a "cure" for homosexuality). But Im guessing they were hoping you wouldnt notice that part.

The fact that Fulham are 20th shows how completely insane the level in the Premier League is. Based on the showing at Anfield and today against United, they are one of the best coached teams in the division with lots of quality players on top of that. Big Álvaro Arbeloa fan…

Fulham’s last two Premier League games against Liverpool and Manchester United have both ended in draws, and in both matches Fulham looked closer to getting the win. The team is looking more solid, the performances are improving and the overall feeling is much better. After the international break, three big games await against newly promoted sides: Ipswich, Hull and Coventry. Time to use the break wisely, prepare well and keep building. 💪⚪⚫ #FFC

This is what I expect we'll see against Liverpool. Affengruber for Andersen should stop Andersen drifting over to Bassey and leaving us exposed or dropping deeper leaving a single pivot to cover all the space. I also expect the double pivot of Larsson and Berge to cover space left by FBs & spaces between CB - CM. Only 1 FB allowed to go at a time. The other tucks round to form a back 3. Arbeloa won't change his system, the attacking metrics show it works but if we can substitute 5%-10% of that attacking output for more solidarity, we will look more defensively sound. ⚫⚪#FFC

I said the other day that I see this season as survival will be success! This is a transitional season, I don't expect we'll get going till after the international break. All the social media stuff doesn't look good from the outside but it's 3 games in and fans are booing players off the pitch, I'd probably delete everything too. Everything we've seen from the club socials shows a close group who wants AA to succeed. I spoke with someone yesterday who said the players came of the pitch completely dejected yesterday, some close to tears. In my opinion they want this to work but it's going to take time... A lot more time and a lot defensive drilling on the training pitch. I like many fans am very worried about the trajectory of the team/club but he's going to get time, the Khan's have backed him, they've brought players in to suit his system. Imo our season now starts after the international break. ⚫⚪#FFC

Eric Ravilious was killed #OTD in 1942 when the aircraft he was in during a search & rescue mission off Iceland failed to return. From the countryside to war, his depiction of Britain in the 30s & early years of #WW2 remain an incredible legacy, decades after his death.
