    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    Is this understanding correct? City brought two cases against the PL. The first, that the APT rules were unlawful. This was agreed by the tribunal. As a consequence of this case, some rules were rewritten including issues around shareholder loans having to meet fair market 'lending rates'...

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

    We do. The defensive side of the game has improved vastly. Unfortunately, it takes special players to unlock it, which is why peak KDB was so incredibly valuable. I hope Phil and Rayan, et al. can bridge the gap.

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

    I think that great individuals shine and are able to do so in great teams. We have seen it in our own many times. I enjoy both the freestyle football you speak of and the tactical chessmatches. I don't like teams who set ten behind the ball and seek to win by the odd set piece. I take back the...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    From what you are saying, both the centre and the right do not believe in fair taxation, nor caring for people. And you refute that the press influences public opinion. You also imply that speaking out against inhumane and uncaring acts is both futile and unwelcome. I can understand both of...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    It will be very interesting to see what now transpires but I feel that it won't be long now before we hear the other verdict. Any acceptance of the current rules does not stop other clubs from challenging them.

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

    It isn't as simple as that though, that's the point. It is a team sport. The team is the trophy winner, not the individual. If you are happy with individuals shining at the expense of team performance and results, then footy is not for you. We all found joy in Georgi, but we stood and watched...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    Have the right really convinced you that the left think about female penises? Heavens, they do try to divide and conquer. The other things you mention don't become left wing ideals because the right reject them. They are centrist principles. Here lies the issue. Politicians have cemented the...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    What you are speaking of is the here and now. What you have ignored, IMO, is where the roots lie. Once people begin to realise that they are working three jobs to pay the rent and have nothing left over, they are easy meat. That's when the grifters begin their long range plotting, and when their...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    So it appears that Mr Farage either lied to his constituents to show his 'local' loyalty, or he lied to the nation to avoid tax scrutiny. Either way, he is a liar. The job of being an MP should come with an expectation of honesty and integrity. Full disclosure of all earnings and tax paid would...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    The biggest issue we face is inequality. While many have nothing, they will always look for people to blame. Those who now have everything will promote the idea of someone being to blame. Donald does it, Nigel does it, GB News do it, The Mail do it. Poverty breeds resentment. Failing public...

    Football is a team sport. This whole condemnation of our coaching because individuals don't shine gets on my tits, especially when its by our own fans. The media lauding Jack because he had 'freedom' - when Everton win trophies I will celebrate with them and him. Managers complaining about how...

    Well done, Jeremy and Kev.

    Two great players but Alcaraz has more to his game, and a higher ceiling, IMO. I do hope that Donald will give up attending sporting events as his 'popularity' continues to collapse.

    Haircuts From Hell.

    When I lived in Romania for a while, I used to pass this barber in Bucharest. It looked like it had the same décor and fittings for decades, and I always marvelled at the window photographs advertising their skills.

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    This is how bad things are. A boy, aged 14, had gone missing in Yorkshire. Police involved. Pleas for information on social media. 1,300 people posted a laughing emoji. How can that possibly happen? Oh, btw, his name was Mohammed.

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    I think this is a good point, though an abject shame. I reject nothing you say here - I listen to my family and they will reject even looking at truth as 'lefty rubbish', no matter how I implore them. It is hard to countenance that it is the heart leading someone to watch children being starved...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    In my family, I have Brexit voters and far-right protesters, Mail readers and GB News viewers. I am surrounded by their political discourse. I listen to it, so I am fully aware of their opinions. They believe that Israel is defending itself. They believe that kids are in danger from immigrants...

    What has the UK become under the far right influence?

    This belief that billionaires are going to help the common man by dealing with a common man with brown skin is as old as time, and we have seemingly never learnt. Not only is the billionaire not going to help you, but he is also going to tell you who to hate, and then he is going to take your...
