This is very funny. I can't see this on the club's FB page so I think it is the creation of a fan, who deserves a job in the media department.

The treatment of Jason Arday was massively out of proportion to his faults. People who have committed terrible crimes have received less scrutiny, yet I don't believe anything he did or said even crossed the threshold of criminality. How many of us would have survived what he was put through? 🧵

I have long argued that what could precipitate Infantino's downfall was his incapacity to understand how "too far" he could go, a typical trait of autocrats. He's done it now that Fifa has bent its own rules to placate the recipient of its grotesque Peace Prize.

After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

FIFA said this would be "the most inclusive World Cup ever" – but they've done nothing to make it happen. As usual, they'd rather put profit before fans, players and the game. Tell them enough is enough by adding your name to our ethics committee complaint at rebootfifa.com.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.
