JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

SKYDANCE CEO David Ellison (and his bodyguard Ynon Kreiz) say the Paramount-WBD merger is good for the industry, framing the incoming layoffs as a good thing, too. True charlatans.

Gateshead Council are a disgrace, It was started because of what happened to Shaka Hislop. Every Newcastle supporter needs to make sure that the Council doesn't get away with this. #NUFC

Also in my newsletter City should have been punished for breaches in 2014. It was Gianni Infantino's craven approach - as revealed in football leaks and his approach to Trump - that let them off. This entire story could have been stopped then www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

So after years of insisting to the point of demanding corrections of anyone saying Manchester City is owned by the UAE and not a private investment of “his highness” sheikh Mansour, City will now insist in its appeal that City is actually owned by the UAE. Riiiggghhht then. 🥸

A further impact of the Manchester City case is that an entire generation of young Mancunians are going to grow up not knowing the meaning of the word "irrefutable".

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Is the current UK PM compromised in some way? Unable to see one the worst scandals of all of football? Why would he publicly signal the Abu Dhabi and the PL?

Now why would he need immunity beginning just 6-years ago, who specifically pushed for it, who granted it?

Don’t think the current UK PM is the right voice to be commenting on the owners of citeh, he’s way too emotionally connected to their rejuvenation of Manchester during his time in charge.

Was this done on purpose so City could drop a casual £450 million on players this summer in preparation for a transfer ban or is it just incompetence? Hard to believe the latter when the panel's processes had been nearly airtight up until then. Remember this when the punishment is announced.

Manchester City were first informed that they had been found guilty of more than 100 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules in the summer, sources told ESPN, before spending heavily in the transfer market.

I say they should be docked points every year, not just one. Starting this year, dock them 70 points, then 60, then 50, until you zero them out in a few years' time. A fine means nothing. A transfer ban means nothing. It's all about league finish and the gifted money that comes with it.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Can someone explain the valuation of 5bn pounds for Chelsea in a sensible way? Wondering how after all the hiccups, messes, massive losses and lack of stadium project the club can be worth more? And at a time both sellers are under massive pressure and scrutiny to raise funds.

Robert Kraft and Ed Sheeran donating monies is fine and dandy, but the issue is the silencing of voices, free speech. They think they can pay their way out, so trumpy.

Given that two U.S. Senators have publicly announced that they are voting against confirming Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General, that means it's already a done deal and those Senators are being given cover to look moderate, knowing their votes are now unnecessary. Let's watch.
