Pep will probably bench him now.

Hopefully the fans can dream up an appropriate song for him

He's always looked like rocky...now moreso.

Duh duh DEHHHH duh duh dUHHHHH! Surely there's a chant there somewhere!?

Question is, how far do you go with security?

I have a set of brothers who own a successful chain of DIY shops. You will have shopped with them.
Being billionaires, people robbing their houses is the least of their worries.

Your whole family becomes a target.....including your children.

So daily life is security sweeping the grounds before you leave. A convey of vehicles following you around, some in front some behind.
I can tell well beforehand when they are back. The gates open and a security team sweeps the grounds.
The convoy returns, and a car is left behind the gates.

Speaking with one of the wives revealed she hates it all. They are from a humble background. So never expected the life they now have to live.
They are literally living in a gilded cage.

On the flip side, i used to have a customer who employed ex Gurkhas for security.
They were deployed all around the property 24/7.

We had a site-note come down that if anything happened, we were not to interact and just try and leave. (WTF?)

Turns out he was a crook who married another crooks daughter, so was protected. If her father died, all bets were off what happened to him.

Safe to say i swerved that job afterwards!
(this is fairly recently in case anybody thinks i'm talking decades ago etc)

Sung to the the Andy Williams favourite... to start off..

We love you Joao Cancelo,
You always shine so bright,
We love you Cancelo,
You gave those cowards a fright.

@gordondaviesmoustache can elaborate if he is willing an sober enough!

It will most likely be charged as robbery, not aggravated burglary, and if convicted after a trial I reckon they’ll get at least 12 years: in the home, targeting the victim, significant planning, actual use of violence, child present, group activity.

The notion that they’ll get a suspended sentence is comical. Anyone who actually thinks that is an idiot.

Edit: just looked at the sentencing guidelines - it’s been a while tbf -starting point of 13 years for higher culpability and greater harm robbery in the home (higher than highest category for aggravated burglary, hence the charge), with a sentencing range of 10-16 years, so I’m going to revisit my estimate and say they’ll get 15 years after a trial.

There’s a reason why kings and emperors lived in castles surrounded by guards and armies, going back thousands of years. There will always be someone who wants to take what others have.
Even Adam and Eve nicked an apple, if you believe in that sort of thing.
Accepting the stark reality of human nature is very different to liking it

True mate, suppose it’s just the sad side of humanity, and that side will always be able to prosper in a liberal society. I’d just like to see the bastards who did this strung up but hey ho that’ll never be.

Yep trure it's human nature unfortunately.
You could give every person in this country a house a million pound each for free and we would still Rob and pillage and be nasty and jealous. Law of the jungle
