Disagree on this one. As a species level survival mechanism we are all born incredibly annoying to harass our parents into tending to our every need the second it arises. The second we move out of that we start tantruming that we can't bend the entire planet to our whims at will.

Case closed guys. Famously, 10 yrs before he joined them as a player, the then 13yo Rodri was integral in setting up the financial arrangements of Man City after Sheikh Mansour's takeover. If he says it's legit, we're all 👍. Surprised we had this whole process rather than just checking in with him

I know people are upset that Chelsea didn't get adequately punished but A) Chelsea's (new) board reported themselves and cooperated fully with the investigation B) we signed Joao Felix TWICE. We started Jordan Henderson AND Danny Welbeck last week. Banning us from making transfers is a reward.

Man City charges latest: City found guilty of majority of 115 financial rule breaches
Reaction as sources tell BBC Sport that Man City have been found guilty of breaking the majority of financial rules they were accused of breaching.

This ought to be a core part of the punishment now. An organisation, who, while in charge of a football club, deliberately subverted the rules governing the sport, including being obstructive to the investigation when they were found out, cannot pass any sort of "fit and proper" ownership test.

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

A good article by @twoht.bsky.social on an absolutely stupid and unnecessary own goal by the FA that could set a disasterous precedent. In many ways this is worse than the intervention at the world cup on behalf of the US unexpecteddelirium.substack.com/p/the-fa-hav...

Traditionally, when three kids stick on a coat to pretend to be an adult they go for a more vertical, on top of each others shoulders, arrangement. I quite like this side by side, horizontal approach

Hooray. Back off a month long, once in a lifetime, holiday to Canada with the family to be told on a teams call on first morning back that they've decided to appoint an internal to part of my role while I was away so they're ending my contract. Cheers guys! Loving the welcome home

The boys decided to challenge me to a series of running races in the shallows of a Nova Scotia beach today. Delighted to say I stuffed them both still (though had to work hard against 14yo). Horrified to discover my wife filmed them in slow motion. Turns out Flubber is a documentary about my gut
