Seems the bbc have stopped updating the Prem table 'live'...strange that or maybe not (cough 5th cough)

Strangely Flashscore did not update the table for quite awhile after Arsenal scored. Very unusual for them.

Delaney on 5 live now pushing the agenda that Chelsea issues now are a great opportunity to reset football club ownership in general.

oh how surprising….

Did he expand on this with how, as an example Arsenal supporters will raise the £1.5b to purchase the club from its current shareholders?

PS The UAE hardly ever executes anybody.

There was a massacre last week when state owned City killed the rags

In my response to @ctwrd on workers rights, I perhaps should have added that activists in the West have turned their attention to women and gays. It has to be said that UAE is a long way behind us in such matters. Worth noting that the gov are not unfettered masters here, as religious conservatives would cause trouble if changes were mooted. A whole subject in its own right.

“Gays” or gay people?

It’s a difficult subject as it’s basically Christian’s poo pooing another religion.

Because it's fuck all to do with any genuine human rights crusade (apt), and everything to do with the likes of utd, arse and liverpool owners and fans not liking competition, on or off the pitch.

I cant remember where I read it, but the best comment I've seen on this topic called out the sincerity of concerns about human rights issues in foreign countries, when those concerns are only brought up in relation to football.

Robbie Fowler having a dig in Daily Mirror, totally pissed off, his own club aren't squeaky clean, covid dodgers, money laundering sponsors, thieving databases from City

Yes, they would not take kindly to being lectured at by white westerners. Mansour's club of course has a women's team and an official gay etc supporters club.
Gays/ gay ppl? No diff.

I've just read his nonsense. I won't hold my breath waiting for the article where he demands that Liverpool return the Standard Chartered sponsorship money, given their fine for facilitating money laundering as you've mentioned.

A friend of mine’s son is gay and went to live in UAE about a year ago- he’s having the time of his life! He was actually the the victim of a homophobic attack in Liverpool a few weeks before he left.
