Savinho to Spurs? So 2 CFG clubs suffered so City could make a 20m profit on a player… modern football is a cesspit.

I think, in its haste, sumo was too eager to give Hoshoryu the rank of Yokozuna. Perhaps the benchmark to reach the rank should be consecutive Yusho (irrespective of rank) rather than allowing runner up as an Ozeki to ascend.

All the people hating on Louis Theroux's excellent Settler documentary are doing is driving people to watch it in their droves. As always, all he's doing - very very well - is allowing people to speak for themselves and show the viewer exactly who they are and what they believe

Arminia Bielefeld become just the fourth third division team in DFB Pokal history to reach the final. The three teams before them were Hertha BSC II, Union Berlin and Energie Cottbus. All three would end up losing the final. Will it be different for Bielefeld?

This is a remarkably consistent refrain for sensible right wing broadsheet creeps in the UK too. As both Toby Young and Rod Liddle can attest.
Tweet from Toby Young, in the aftermath of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, facing accusations of sexual assault on underage girls.

"What the Duke of York should have done is marry a tough, sensible, no-nonsense woman who would have stopped him getting into these messes - like I did"
Spectator column by Rod Liddle from September 2012 in which he says:

I never found out because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way - and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten [14 years old in the UK] as it is now called.

Boycotts follow a simple principle of "if you're going to keep doing that thing I don't like, I'm going to actively oppose you". An example of how this can work is how the electorate keeps boycotting the UUP and it is now down to 1 MP today from 10 in 1997 and down to 9 MLAs today from 28 in 1998.
