Ny! New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social - "You're Manchester City and we know what you are". The great @davidgoldblatt.bsky.social's take on Manchester City's travails. Paywall is lifted for the first 24 hours.

You're Manchester City and we know what you are - josimarfootball.com
The City case should be a starting point for naming and understanding the ways in which football has been colonised by economic and political power and how we might resist them.

Manchester city fans should protest their club's dreadful mismanagement and humiliation at their next match, perhaps by all turning away from the field and linking arms.

2026/27 season about to kick off. #MUFC have high hopes for the top-four-and-a-trophy kind of season that can be viewed as success these days. Arsenal look clear but United can reasonably expect to compete to be best of the rest.

In less than two years, Kemi Badenoch has now demanded Kier Starmer resign more often than any other leader of the opposition has ever called for any PM's resignation. At this rate, if they both make it to the end of the parliament, she will do so more often than all predecessors combined.

How this works: The Swearksy Index is the % of English Bluesky posts that contain one or more swear word in the last 10 minutes. Graphs show the average each hour (so changes a bit over the day). Posts every ~4 hours if the index remains normal, but makes extra posts if 1% above the 7-day average.
