PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 22hWhich is why it’s so dumb that firms are cutting back on junior programmer roles, not just for delivering better code today, but also for providing the code reviewers for tomorrow. But that’s what you get when your senior IT bods come from business and accounting backgrounds. 0100

PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Best scene from Kings Cross in 90s was clean cut, trainee accountants queuing to buy the morning newspaper to find out it they’d passed their exams, while pimps, prostitutes, curb crawlers, druggies, dealers and drunks promenaded around them. Quite the contrast. 021
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Kick it out was set up in 1993, because there was so much racism in football. John Barnes and Ian Wright were both still playing football at that time. John Barnes had bananas thrown at him on the pitch. 000
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I despise the warmongering wannabe dictator/habitual sexual abuser, but my take (I’m putting on my tin hat now) is that he’s suggesting anti Iran war folk might think twice if Iran were to nuke LA or Sam Diego. Now obviously this premise is bollocks, but I don’t think even he would rejoice in it. 010
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Kemi has a distinctly average academic record, an underwhelming career being getting into politics, and can you name one policy she implemented while in government - and CPTPP doesn’t count because what successful trade policy brings in less than £2bn over ten years? 110

PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Looking at the chart for Kemi Badenoch, is it correct to say that “strong” and “intelligent” came up more than any other words, positive, neutral or negative? 100
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 04/10/2026He was previously Home Secretary so the first is on him, not sure how he thinks Mayor has the power to do much about the second, and his 3rd question makes him seem like he’s 50 years out of touch. The right wing press will love it though. 080

PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 02/10/2026… no matter how rich they are. Look at English rugby, cricket ….. all languishing while foreign leagues with fewer spending constraints thrive. So, City broke the rules, but the rules are ridiculous, and will damage English football. 001
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 02/10/2026And if you think City being booted out of PL will result in a stronger PL then you need to have a second think. Other than City and Leicester (also punished), only 4 teams have won PL since 2000 - and this will discourage anyone considering buying a PL club - because they’ll never compete …. 100
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 02/10/2026City are more sustainable than any club in PL bar Newcastle but they have signed up to the rules so they should be punished - as I said. But, i question the laughable statement comparing them to playing with 12 men/2 goalies, if their spending on players is now similar to Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea 100
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If you cannot see that City having an enormously wealthy owner is what gained their success then you need to have a good think. Just like Blackburn, Newcastle (Hall era) and Chelsea before them. They had the money, but they were stopped from spending it by “sustainability” rules 1/n 100
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Let me see if I’ve got this, you could win the Tour de France if only you could get a dodgy sponsor? Is that right? 100

PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Man U are able to pay huge transfer fees. So are Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. Do they also have 12 men and 2 keepers? No knots here, just exposing hyperbolic(s) 110
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It literally isn’t - if you dope, or you bribe the officials, then that’s an unfair advantage on the pitch. Otherwise, it’s eleven v eleven and, regardless of comparative quality, anything can happen. Remember Spain v Cabo Verde??? 210

PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Spurs, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all had higher net spends over the past 5 years. But they can do it because they have higher revenue, for historical reasons. City gamed the revenue, and should be punished, but your metaphors are nonsense 330
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026how on earth are we meant to feel more anger towards City owners than toward the Glazers? Which have actually been worse for PL football? 3/2 240
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A ruse by Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal to stop new money from taking over their monopoly could severely diminish the whole PL, so one should beware what you wish for 2/2 240
PhilMoore @philmoore66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Newcastle, Aston Villa and Leicester are all shells of what they once were, and Man City looking likely to go the same way. No way PL teams then justify their current market caps, and so will this cause other owners to cut their losses or discourage investment? 1/2 140
