    Kyle Walker racist abuse

    Always happens to black players when they make a mistake. It doesn't take much for racists to show their face.

    If the rot continues what happens ?

    Exactly. How many players are playing with little knocks? KDB has already said he'd been playing though a sports hernia for a while. What I find strange though is that Pep hasn't dealt with this tactically. Gundogan is a shit DM and Lewis is weak, and our forward line give the ball away a lot...

    Guinness shortage

    If you think you can, fair play to you. But the fact that people think they can is kinda my point.

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    Yeah I guess you're right in the sense that if it's unlawful, it's unlawful, so it would be difficult to justify it not being immediately banned, even if it's not fair to the teams that followed the rules in good faith. Another example of how all of these regulations have fucked things up more...

    Homophobia in football

    Most countries that aren't Christian or Muslim have never had the idea that homosexuality is a sin (and the ones that do typically had a long period of direct rule by a colonial power - most of India's shitty laws date back to British rule). So it ends up being a curiosity rather than something...

    Guinness shortage

    The thing about taste is there are so many factors. I read about one study where expert wine tasters were unable to tell that two wines were the same when they were served at different temperatures. And that wasn't someone trying to trick them, it was a wine grower demonstrating some of the...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    I feel like you'd at least have to allow some time for compliance, because teams will have based their entire budgeting around a certain set of costs. Having said that, it didn't stop UEFA retrospectively applying their rules to a bunch of contracts we signed before their rules came in. But it...

    The Labour Government

    In ordinary circumstances, a raise in line with inflation is all any of us can realistically expect. But you've got to look at this in context of a decade of below inflation pay rises.

    Guinness shortage

    But that's the easy part. The question is whether you can tell a 'good' pint from a 'bad' pint without looking at the pour. I assumed someone would have done it, but no-one has properly done a blind taste test. There was one bloke on Youtube, and he couldn't even tell which was from a can...

    Champions League Games | Gameweek 6 | 10-11 Dec '24

    Wow, Brest in front again. Great support as well. I would nip to the bathroom but I'm afraid I might miss something special from the two up top.

    Arise Sir Sol Campbell (P14)

    Well yeah. I'm sure he's a top bloke, but Mabbutt wasn't given his MBE for any of that, he was given it for 'services to football.' And they do usually mention if it's about their charity work even if it's 'services to charity and football.' Jermain Defoe has and OBE for 'services to the...

    Guinness shortage

    Can I just say Guinness is the most overrated drink on the planet? And I like it. But people talk about it like it's fucking caviar, or something. Everything about it, from the fussiness of the pour, to the fact you have to clean the lines twice as often, to the whole 'better in Ireland'...

    Syria | Assad flees to Moscow as rebels capture Damascus

    "Whoever follows Assad's path will end up like Assad", Katz says, in a warning to Syria's new rebel leaders. He says, as if they had anything to do with him being ousted.

    Homophobia in football

    The thing you've got to remember about gay men is that they're men. And so they still do all of the creepy shit that straight men do. (Yes, only some men, because apparently we've got to spell everything out these days in case someone deliberately misunderstands you). Incidentally, I think...

    Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

    Except that it's not, because after buying the club, he also invested a further £1.3bn into it. So that's an investment of £1.5bn increasing in value to £4bn in 16 years. Basically not much more than 6% a year in reality.

    That makes more sense then. Pretending she's a victim to avoid too much scrutiny. Where have we seen that one before?

    Arise Sir Sol Campbell (P14)

    'For services to Northern Irish football' after winning 100 caps. Basically they've got to give him one otherwise they look biased towards the England national team. I'm waiting for the first player from Gibraltar to reach 100 caps. God knows how Robbie Earle got one though.

    Arise Sir Sol Campbell (P14)

    Gary Mabbutt's got an MBE for 'services to football' and he got it in 1994 while he was still playing. So if that's the bar, I'd say Sol is hard done by. It looks like you can't get above an OBE for 'services to football' without either winning the World Cup, being a legendary manager, or being...

    Started on CBBC. They taught him everything he knows. Obviously went through their paedo initiation when he first joined.
