Yeah, blame the foreign coach. If you’d watched the game, you would have seen that the players themselves retreated to their own box, including Kane in the six yard box, right after Gordon’s goal. Their fear is what Tuchell saw. If defending, use defenders. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Starmer’s “Island of strangers” speech the other month has clearly emboldened racist, hypocritical scum like Jim the Rat Ratcliffe and a big bunch of other racist scum to blame the UK’s woes on immigrants. Ratcliffe, an immigrant in Monaco, pays zero tax in UK, lays off UK staff, should butt out.
