Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 08/10/2026He 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. 130
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’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?’” 😆 230
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I 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! 240
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The 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.

Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Spent 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.

Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026You 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. 120
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I 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. 100
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It’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. 130
Kate Anderson @kate-ab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026We have this conversation in our house every summer (I’m Forest, husband is Newcastle).
