Sorry to derail the thread away from the slave trade, but just wondering why the bbc sport headline is pogbad and Mbappe starting, rather than any of the other 20 players?

Unfortunately, Torres, Rodri and Laporte don't provide the bait for the required number of clicks.

I thought that much of the slave trade was carried out by the Arabs?

Depends how far back you want go. Babylonia, Egypt, Roman Empire, Persia, Greece, Vikings, Aztecs, African Tribes, Spanish Empire, Portuguese Empire, USA, China, India, The Mongols, France, Russian Serfdom, GB and many, many more.

Our ancestors were a part of the time they lived — not our time

Never thought I’d long for the days of being lectured about posting links from the Guardian but I have to say it’s preferable to historically illiterate excuses for the Atlantic slave trade.

Did Sky wait to get the United link in tonight or was it there from the start?

If you have a look at the prevalence rates (rather then the absolute numbers that you've used) which is more accurate if you're attempting to compare different countries you'll find that the United States ranks more favourably then both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In fact there are only nine countries better placed than the US.

However the UK ranks worse than all of them.

He hasn't played since the Euros, he had an operation on his shoulder.

The Daily Express. Probably worse, if not the same as the Daily United. With United articles running into double figures every day. The latest. No journalist name, nor link. (another signing?)

Didn't Leading come out about 5 years ago?

Just a random recycled thing of no real relevance apart from to get Solskjaer out, by someone called Jack Otway,

So Pep was the real 'chosen one'?

I bet he's kicking himself not joining the Rag's... :-D

 

[Protein Junkie]

Shouldn't that be 'prick of the month'?

No he gets that awarded to him annually although competition is strong.

Lots of comments from jealous idiots on the BBC article about the takeover, many of them banging on about human rights, or City and Chelsea trophies being meaningless.

Strangely, when I replied to a comment about Saudis and state-sponsored murder, my question whether the US has ever carried out state-sponsored murders was removed by the BBC. Why would that be?

For clarity it’s ok to mention Saudi state sponsored murder but not question the US ?
