You know, I'm beginning to think positioning ourselves as the world's shopping centre might not have been the best idea.

The European Football Clubs body met for its annual meeting, a group led by President of Gulf-owned PSG Nasser owned Khelaifi. His response - leaping to the defence of Man City CEO- is perhaps indicative of the complete mad fact he’s now the most powerful figure in European football. All normalised

I visited Auschwitz about 10 years ago. I often think about what I saw and learnt there. It is haunting, moving, grim and like most people, you just leave in silence with your own thoughts. But yeah man, I guess the coffee shop needs to up it’s game.

This happened within sight of my house when I was nine. I wasn’t there - I was at school in London by then - but Penzance and Newlyn felt it for *decades*. The memorial garden on the cliffs is a hundred metres from where I scattered my parents’ ashes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penlee_...

Yes, that's how tax works. You pay for stuff you may never use - schools if you're childless, roads you may never travel down and so forth - because it's the right thing to do. Is there somebody who looks after you who can explain this to you?

Often get accused - along with others who work predominantly in Germany - of being overly defensive of the tenets of German ⚽️ that make it what it is, wider extension of community. But we can never take it for granted when bad actors acting in pure self interest abound.

No one notices the Quansah thing beyond it being a suspension for a reckless tackle if Balogun madness didn't happen. This is a mess of FIFA's making. Quansah is correctly suspended. Pandora's box is open, and Gianni's stinky phone call has now infected the whole game.

My biggest issue with soccer has always been that there were too many incredible goals scored 40 seconds after a marginal foul happened on the other side of the field. So glad they fixed this.

Countries banning all teenagers from social media because "their brains aren't developed enough to handle it", meanwhile nobody's talking about the percentage of retirement-aged adults who have irreversibly cooked their fucking brains on Facebook since 2020.
