They’re apparently beefing up their ‘sports business’ coverage so Panja will probably go across to the business desk to continue his lucrative clickbait trolling from there, with Smith as his wingman

Smith is a decent writer in my opinion. But Panja may as well be in the NYT's secretarial pool, as all he does is take dictation from Gill & Parry.

Cunts,fuck em

Is the correct answer.

Smith is an absolute snide, though, his 5 Live output only confirms that. Always ready to slip in a twist of the cultist knife while pretending to be balanced and reasoned

Some of those cunts tried to get me sacked from my job. It's going to be difficult for me to show much sympathy for sure.

What the hell? On what grounds? When I thought they couldn’t sink lower

We’ll agree to disagree on Smith, don’t rate his writing and he always made my skin crawl as a bloke, even during the days when I used to lap up Guardian and MSM coverage.

Presumably the editor at the Athletic has a threshold for quality of personnel he‘s willing to take on - which spells trouble for Panja.

For daring to challenge their bullshit. Same as when they and the rest of the WhatsApp wankers tried to doxx Rabin

Well, he employs Sam Lee and James Pearce so I'd say the threshold probably isn't that high really.

This is an amazing video because it’s the only one of him I’ve seen which includes the moment I realised he was truly special, which was the end of August in his first season, we played Watford, and KDB played a headed through ball.

I’ve never seen anyone do it before or since. The ball was in the air, and he saw the pass to Aguero but realised the only way to play it in time was with his head, if he’d tried to volley it or take a touch the gap would have closed.

It’s right on 4 mins in this video, he just heads it perfectly behind the defence and into Agueros path 20 yards away.

I knew then he was on another level.

I’ve been a City fan since 1965. I always resisted acknowledging anybody could challenge King Colin as our best ever. We’ve had Silva, Agüero mentioned in the same debate; but now I am beginning to reluctantly accept that by the time he leaves us, King Kev will be the greatest we’ve ever had. I feel so privileged to have witnessed this superb, Currently the ‘Worlds best’ midfielder.

Wonder if this will have any implications for The Athletic over here?

Tariq and Rory are world-leading geopolitical experts, so presumably they’ll just slot in at the foreign affairs desk, right?

That tit on Granada tonight, while talking about U21 hero James Trafford said he was a "Bolton" player, but will be transferred to Burnley...
