Agree, and it shows by his very low rating on fc26
I know this sounds a bit mad because he’s already very popular within the fanbase but I don’t think the general footballing world appreciates how good this guy is yet. He’d get into almost any team at LB and CB and is still only 23 years old. He’s comfortable in literally any…
How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from @Stephen_Cushion. enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadcast…
🚨A Petition calling for a full, public inquiry into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY has hit the threshold for a debate, but a debate isn’t automatic. MPs need to show support. Email your MP NOW and ask them to publicly support the call for a Commons debate
📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely. This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows: • 5 million 2016 voters have died • New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1 • 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin • Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m…
9 years on, Brexit no longer has a mandate. The Leave majority has literally died out. New analysis shows: 🔹 +8 million majority now want to rejoin 🔹 Brexit has shrunk the UK economy by 8% 🔹 Only 25% of Leave voters think it was a success 🔹 The 2025 “reset” fixes less than…
Oh dear
Let me be absolutely clear. Any pact with the Conservative Party would be a historic mistake for Nigel Farage and Reform UK. mattgoodwin.org/p/no-there-won…
World football should be embarrassed and outraged that the game of the world, that everyone plays in all corners of the planet, has been used to promote a human rights abuser, currently extrajudicially killing Venezuelans, who play our game. Locking up immigrants and vilifying…
US President Donald Trump was just awarded the newly created “FIFA Peace Prize.” But his administration’s appalling human rights record certainly does not display “exceptional actions for peace and unity.” Learn more: bit.ly/4qbQiu7
This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian interference is now up to 13k, and growing fast. It's still early days, but it's notable that the percentage of people signing is highest in Wales. This suggests that media coverage of Nathan Gill was considerably more…
Love this
“12 out of 12 baby, send me away!!!” Love that this starts out as keen political analysis about young voters and ends with one of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a WHILE. New York, elect this man!🗽
When you interviewed me - you asked me repeatedly and I told you repeatedly GDP is a terrible way to measure heath & well being. As a Tory peer who also is a radio host - you seemed confused by that. It's also a position held btw by Simon Kuznet who designed the idea of GDP.
They absolutely are against wealth and growth. It’s an absurd contention to suggest they aren’t. It’s a different matter if you want to argue that this is a good idea.
So, we have a long pattern of Russian interference and corruption going back as long as, well, as Nigel Farage. We have an unexplained £885,000 cash house purchase. We have a history of lying and profiteering. We have multiple connections with Russian assets. Anything else?
Zack Polanski is a Jewish lad from Salford, Manchester. Today, he taught our journalists & politicians a wee lesson in honesty.
If Farage was a black guy in Tottenham who had just bought as house for £885k mortgage free he'd have been arrested by now.
Really don’t know how Webb will try and justify this one. Is he actually going to try and say that such a skilful piece of football like that constitutes a careless challenge? @SkySports is Webb’s partner in crime so they’ll never help fix this. Only the clubs can do it.
Absolutely ridiculous. Not only is it wrong, it's also not a clear and obvious error. Where was he supposed to put his foot down? The VAR is re-refereeing the game. There is no point sending a ref to the monitor, when the result is already given.
The BBC has been reported to OFCOM for ‘giving disproportionate coverage’ to Farage and Reform UK. thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lib-d…
Arsenal needs to make a documentary of all referees errors against us in the last three seasons and ensure KSE takes up PGMOL. Madrid uses that tactic of putting the heating on the officials and it works. Sir Alex did it at United and it worked. It should work for us too.
Football tribalism prevents any meaningful discourse around referees. The deterioration of the product we all love is being ruined by sheer incompetence and then you’ve got bootlicking journalists/pundits lionising them which further exacerbates the situation. It’s sickening.
4-6 separate neutral Norwegian pundits/commentators: "Never in a million years that’s a penalty Norway’s biggest outlet: "Shocking penalty." The ref and VAR: "clear penalty." Funny how the refs consistently have a totally different view of the game than the masses. How so?
I have totally lost joy for the Premier League. The product sucks cause of these refs. Champions League has a totally different feel to it. The product is way better. It doesn’t feel like playing uphill like it does in the Premier League.
I thought it was a myth that if you kill one bee, all its mates will come attack you...
