Going back to 2010-12: Wenger wanted Hazard, Hazard wanted Arsenal, Arsenal couldn’t persuade the agent. 2012, Chelsea pull off a deal that Wenger said we could not match. 2026, Chelsea hit with a suspended transfer ban and fine for illicit agent payments in the Hazard transfer. Crime pays.

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is. The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life. Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion. So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.
A former Plaid Cymru Chief Executive
is now being paid £190k a year as the
BBC's Nations Director.


This is living proof that the BBC is
infected with left-wing bias right to the
