He wanted him to read all 8 points of it in the press conference. But m then Jesus remembered he actually had some self respect and didn’t do so - which seems to have been the cause of the ultimate flounce from Ronaldo. It’s quite astonishing.

I’m still chuckling about an alternative suggestion for point 2 - “when Ronaldo is not on the field, all other players must be asking ‘where’s Ronaldo?’” 😆

I agree, he’s appalling. I understand the need for self-belief in top level sport, but he is so far beyond that it’s not funny. What *is* funny however, are the many comments at the bottom of the linked article - can highly recommend a read!

The absolute brass balls of the tech bros to suggest we all just survive in the future off crumbs from the state…. whilst at the same time trying every trick in the book to avoid paying taxes to that very same state. How exactly is that supposed to work?!

Spent a while this morning laughing at Ronaldo’s 8-point statement which he actually expected the national manager to read out in front of the world’s press. Good grief, the ugliness of his ego. Comment OTD: ‘Never has such a relentless bellend been so good at football’ #ronaldo #41yroldbaby

I used to work in production and frequently had to conduct vox pops. It was only the elderly who were willing to stop and chat. As a barometer for public opinion they are worse than useless.

Just me saying that any effort to tackle misinformation must be an attack on Reform, thereby admitting that Reform are helping Russia to spread far right narratives and create dissent and unrest.

Me too. I block them back, and also report them for harassment. It probably won’t achieve anything but makes me feel better to bounce it back on the moderators.

Exactly. It’s hard to think of anyone who could be more ignorant and irresponsible, at precisely the time when so much intelligence and responsibility is needed.

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.

Dismayed by defeat of the assisted dying bill. Nothing was won today – no new palliative care funding, no new disability support. And the suffering that brought this bill to parliament remains.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

You are right, of course. And that same issue is now steamrolling through lower divisions too. But the problem with football supporting is you can’t switch it off easily. We should all just walk away, but we can’t.

I read the other day that the PL has dropped their system of docking points for breaking the financial rules, after just making it up as they went along with both Forest and Everton. Seems that they have no intention of concluding / reporting their investigation into Man City either. It stinks.

Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
It’s more than two (Liverpool last year come to mind, and Spurs this one) but otherwise agree with this sentiment. When Man City and Chelsea are allowed to break the rules so many times, and never face serious penalties, it makes a mockery of the PL and the English game.

We have this conversation in our house every summer (I’m Forest, husband is Newcastle). It’s more like a cartel nowadays, with financial rules made to keep the Big Six successful. But suddenly not caring about a team that you’ve supported for a lifetime is not a possibility.

I often think the UK government presumes everyone either works for the civil service or big business. They seem to have zero understanding of the lives of the vast majority of working people, particularly the self-employed.
