I don't know how many times it needs to be said. Your football club isn't hurt if people criticise it. Honour doesn't require that you defend it and attack its perceived enemies. And if you find yourself doing this, you've probably had a serious loss of perspective and identity.

Does sportswashing get any more powerful than if it leads a football fan to declare that "I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next ten years" provided the owners of the club seek to persecute the people who exposed their monumental cheating?

Feels like City's proxies have got up off the canvas and are coming out swinging. It's quite some mental judo - just two days after the journalist who did most work to put City in the dock wrote about the abuse and threats he suffered from their fans - to try and turn this back on the media.

I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next 10 years as much as I now care about Man City suing the football media and the journalists who have been stoking up hate against the club and it's fans.

Irresponsible and dangerous.

From a historical perspective it's a genuinely strange state of affairs that the Church of England turns out to be too woke for much of the modern right. But really it just feels like: having a consistent moral code that demands taking Lessers and Outgroup seriously is impossible for populist right.

Manchester City supporters (and the people of Manchester) should be furious. Because the first people who have had the piss taken out of them is them. Even now the City statement takes the piss. You are meant to back this pile of bullshit, it says. You are meant to back it unquestionably.

"I'd advise editors to ask themselves: if you never get women pitching your site or applying for your jobs, why is that? Do you read female writers- and if not, why? Do you talk to women about whom they are reading, or do you only talk about work with other men? Not all of our biases are conscious."

Apropos of nothing, here's the callout I wrote for Eurogamer about the glaring lack of female voices in the games media. I wrote this in *2018*. Things did seem to get better for a while but now we're backsliding again and the reasons for it haven't changed. www.eurogamer.net/why-the-game...

Everyone's talking about the cuts to the studios and dev, which, yes, absolutely. But the behind the scenes cuts to areas like business planning, forecasting, demand planning... these aren't cuts a serious business makes, imo.

Andy Robertson on the Overlap described the feeling that the club in the wake of Diogo’s death, in particular that the returning players had lost their edge and it made it really hard on the newer players to settle. Think we need to really heed the “everyone gets a clean slate” approach.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

Nottingham Forest should not have been awarded a penalty at Liverpool for Alisson's challenge on Neco Williams, the KMI Panel has said. But the KMI Panel also added that it did not reach the threshold for the VAR to overturn the on-field decision. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Much better from us and great to get the first win. But it’s yet another game where 2 massive errors have occurred against us. They cost us in the first two games, thankfully not here. The ref and VAR need to be held to account.
