Weren’t Pat Nevin and Graeme Le Saux well known for being leftie types?

Clarke Carlisle and Joseph Barton have both appeared on question Time back in the day. Although the bastard was probably just looking for an ego boost.

Does anyone really consider QT a serious political program anymore though.

Even more pointless than Marr

There's a West Ham player who's very active in local campaigning. Donates the majority of his wages to local charities. He doesn't want any credit for it. Just feels it's his moral duty to help others.

This is an eye opener

Croatia’s performance at World Cup used to promote far-right

The almost complete silence of the Western media on the lineup of the Croatian political establishment and the national football team with the far-right stands in stark contrast to its campaign to vilify Russia, which hosted the World Cup.

A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed. That Socrates?

That is a sobering read.

That is a sobering read.

They didn't even mention the fact that one of Croatia's most capped players funded a documentary that denied the scale of death at the Jasenovac concentration camp.
Seems like the Croatian national team is a recruiting sergeant for Nazism.

Croatia is about as racist a country as you’ll find. My son was travelling through Europe during the World Cup and was in Zagreb for the final watching it in one of the fan zones. He said the racist abuse whenever a black French player touched the ball was widespread and seemingly normal there. No surprise who they were allied with in WW2.
