All this nauseating bleating from City fans,”don’t punish us”. How many Wembley finals did you have that should have gone to others? How many Champions League nights? You’ve cheated for years, everyone knew it and no one could say because you’d threaten to sue or make farcical accusations of racism.

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Looking at Trump's situation in the US and his increasing desperation and the hordes of masked thugs on the streets of the UK, I'd say the next 6 months could be pivotal. Can we all stop the 'Burnam's a breath of fresh air' bullshit. There's a vital job to do and he's not doing it. Not even close.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Thought we were gettin U21 kid bt he surprised us. He is relentless, always represented Arsenal w pride, this team grew with him & eventually outgrown him there's no shame in that. His goals against Chels, 115, Madrid r unforgettable. Little Gabi will always have a place here ❤️ him & will miss him

I'm finding the whole king of the north thing a bit confusing. So far he's bit his tongue while the far right terrorises refuges and revealed that his grand plan to tackle the climate emergency is to discourage BBQs. Hardly the statesmen we'd been primed to expect.

No nothing journalists pontificating about lockdown then getting precious when medical professionals point out they don't know what they're talking about is reminding me of this cartoon. There is a public inquiry they could refer to if they could be bothered. That fact they can't speeks volumes.

The 2nd sentence of this snippet of UEFA’s response to FIFA (the whole of which is fantastic) reminds me of Thatcher & everything she sold off - resulting in high utility & rail prices, dirty rivers & water shortages and a huge welfare bill as we pay market rent instead of using houses we owned.

I honestly say this with the utmost respect to genuine football fans in the US but FIFA have been courting the US market for years now and all it's given us 4 quarters instead of 2 halfs and direct political interference. Maybe we were better off when the USA didn't care about football.

If Balogan is in the starting line up tomorrow morning then all teams with suspended players should just ignore the suspensions and send the players out. FIFA have made this mess. They need accept the fall out.

Staying on Twitter at this point is like choosing to vacation at the commandant's house in ZONE OF INTEREST. "Well, I'm sure there are Nazis here, but *I* can't see them. I just tune it all out and focus on my own little interests. I'm still a good person, you see."
Just some people who are definitely not Nazis, out there living their lives and ignoring the horrors that are barely audible over the fence there.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Brexit will destroy every administration until one has the guts to reverse it. Point one is going to be taking on the right wing press and making a positive case for immigration. Unless and until someone does we're stuck in a doom loop.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.
