It'll be interesting to see what it all means for the other clubs in the City franchise like Girona who are part-owned by Guardiola's brother, or Troyes who City bought Savinho from

Seems really surprising the Man City charges apparently weren't mentioned during their negotiations for new signings / contract renewals (Ornstein believes). Surely players' agents & lawyers asked for some sort of clause or insurance. Their recent splurge is one of the weird aspects of it all

The varied cast of dodgy characters attracted to football ownership shows how desperately it needed regulation. State ownership, especially by the worst kind of state or oligarch, multiclub ownership, loading with dubious cash, sportswashing, loading with debt, none should ever have been allowed

Well worth a watch. Who's behind the angry Facebook content that's helping to radicalise a load of white voters in the UK, US & Australia? (Or some of it at least - the video doesn't touch on hostile states) youtube.com/watch?v=zCvP...

Hundreds turn out to face police in Gosport after migrant boat fears - live local reporting worth reading. This is all funded from overseas, whipped up to divide us www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2657097...
7:19 pm 22/09/26

Portsmouth residents Jo, 54, and Theresa, 51, said they decided to drive to Gosport after hearing about the potential landing.

Theresa said: "I'm struggling. Not just financially, but welcoming people in when we can't feed our own homeless is insulting.

"We have enough problems of our own.

"Our tax money isn't being spent on us, and somehow we can afford to put other people up in hotels."

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s

A really good board gaming night tonight. Creating a forest village of animals in Everdell; satisfying polyonimo/jigsaw-style city building in World Wonders; and roll-and-write ticking things off as you grow crops in Three Sisters #boardgames
Nice woodland art on the Everdell box coverFilling up the board with jigsaw type pieces in World WondersA few of the tactile world wonder pieces you place on your boardThree Sisters - a farming themed game where you roll dice and choose what to cross off, creating combos as you go; most points at the end wins.

Got a new roll and write game this week, really enjoying my first few plays. It's a calm and therapeutic puzzle crossing stuff off as you plant and harvest crops, yet also like a slot machine that flashes bonuses up all over the show 🎲🍏 #boardgames

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Mainoo "injured". Bit of a shame how it panned out this world cup as I think he'd have helped England but it seems him and Tuchel haven't clicked, as with Amorim.

Lovely walk up round Leeds uni and back today via the beautiful St George's field cemetery (where black Victorian circus master Pablo Fanque, named in a Beatles song, is buried). Loads of cute tiny rabbits quietly sitting around munching the grass.
