Had a read / scan through it and couldn't see anything suggesting that the UN had called specifically for these meetings or arranged them - hopefully i just didn't see it

UN calling on global diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. It's what the meeting was about.

Part of me wants to put my tin foil hat on.

Maybe this drip drip news cycle is part of a bigger plan for the Yankee owners to get significant rule changes in the PL which will affect us and the barcodes? Chavs will be ok once the Tories allow either a yank or a UK vulture capitalist take it over.

Can you imagine if it came out that UAE were leaning on Asad to lean on his mate putin to end the war, and it worked. The mental gymnastics by the press would be immense to still frame that as the bad guys.

As previous wars have proven. Even if Khaldoon went to Moscow and got Putin to surrender and give a TV apology before being arrested. The Yanks would claim they asked him to do it. Therefore, the USA are the heroes.

No tin foil hat needed. They want salary caps, no relegation, the top clubs, well clubs in the top 7 :-) to have all the money. Those plans don't include us or the geordies. It is one reason I want Burnley relegated, it's one less yank owner.

Don't think I'll be listening to the Athletic for any important news. Or any sports news for that matter.

That is some hard hitting Pulitzer Prize winning publication above.

Checks name again, The Athletic, a collection of limited sports bloggers hiding behind basically an American owned red shirt apologists collective fanzine…

When taking about today's games he neglected to mention one match kicking off.

That pic of our leader is part of a UN backed initiative to bring peace to Syria and the Middle East

Journalists condemning it are basically using an attempt at peace to score points

thank @CharliesRightPeg as like most people I have no idea, makes it kind of easy for scum to link humanitarian problems to a club.

Extremely sad, especially when you can only achieve stability in the Middle East or anywhere else through discussion & negotiation
