I do feel sorry for genuine City fans - especially the ones that were there in the (previous) dark days. But at the same time, plenty of fans of other clubs were robbed by their cheating

Fabrizio Romano not even acknowledging the Man City verdict and instead firing off tweets about Harry rKane’s Ballon d’Or is like watching Glenn Greenwald’s timeline on January 6th

Is this really better than keeping Gakpo?!
🚨🔵🔴🇸🇳 #PL | 💰 Crystal Palace réclame 75M£ à Liverpool pour Ismaïla Sarr. ❗️Le club londonien, mécontent de devoir vendre son joueur au dernier jour du mercato, fait traîner les négociations et tente de faire monter les enchères. 🔥 De son côté, Sarr met la pression sur Crystal Palace : il a séché l’entraînement et ne veut plus jouer pour le club. 🔴 Liverpool pousse toujours boucler l’opération.

Did Donald write this for you?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
CONCACAF, AFC and UEFA state they learned of the FFE proposal through media reports with no prior consultation from FIFA. reuters.com/sports/soccer/… en.as.com/soccer/world-c…

And whose fault is that? Absolute bollocks to not take responsibility
"We couldn't get any momentum back at all and they took advantage of that" Thomas Tuchel reflects on England's agonising defeat to Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals.

England do Superman all-rounders better than most teams. I only saw the end of Botham, but all of Flintoff and Stokes, and in terms of making things happen out of nowhere, this guy might be the best of them all.
Ben Stokes gets a wicket just moments after the news broke that he is retiring from international cricket 😲🚨

30 years ago today, the BBC used Walkaway for the final montage as England bowed out of Euro 96 on penalties to Germany. Where were you? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #England #Cast

Certainly not the first to say it but ITV’s coverage of the World Cup is lightyears ahead of BBC’s. I’d normally always pick BBC first if there was a choice but won’t now. And Emma Hayes is one of the very best pundits in the game. Class studio too.

This is what politicians in Labour used to be - intellectual giants with a sure sense of their own morality, even if it wasn’t everyone’s sense of morality!
A TV discussion I had with Roy Hattersley , Tony Benn and David Owen. First time they had all been together since they were in cabinet up until 1979 election. A big falling out followed.. and then this: youtu.be/4e9QjpWboIo?is=ZOCF… via @YouTube

"If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too. Football fans everywhere are suffering Arsenal’s consequences. They are like a company that spews pollution into the environment in their production process, privatising the profits and socialising the costs. To them, dumping toxic sludge into the river is just free waste disposal. It’s the rest of us who get a headache when we drink the tap water" irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/…

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Pep Guardiola on Manchester: "This city is built from work, from graft. You see it in the colour of the bricks. The factories, the Pankhursts, the unions, the music, the industrial revolution and how this changed the world. I think I grew to understand that and my teams did too."

So a player can be booked for making a foul in the penalty area, wrestling someone to the floor. But because the corner “hasn’t quite” been taken, it remains a foul and a booking - yet it isn’t a penalty, according to VAR. Make it make sense. The game is absurd now.

I was a member of the Labour Party when this muppet was elected. It should have been his brother. Even Burnham would have been better. Instead he lost a winnable gen, changed the leadership rules to allow racist fringe members to become leader, & they’ve been a joke ever since
#OTD 2015. Following the shock General Election defeat, Ed Miliband resigns as Labour Leader. He claims “I take absolute and total responsibility for our defeat” David Cameron says “we are on the brink of something special in our country” - as he promises EU referendum.

Anti-Jewish hatred is racism. That simple. Always has been. But it was normalized in the UK (again) when what was once a serious political party elected an antisemite as leader, and good people defended him.
