This country is a fucking toilet, man. Everyone just whining about how shit and expensive things are but annoyed by and contemptuous of anyone who actually tries to do something about it
Men's football just doesn't care about women.
If a player was accused of molesting a child, pretty certain we wouldn't see tweets saying "children lie" or "innocent until proven guilty".
The defence of this player this season has been sickening, but completely unsurprising.
I cannot remotely understand the mindset of the people who hire these pundits.
Rio Ferdinand 1. clearly knows nothing about these teams and 2. doesn’t offer anything beyond “they’ll regret missing chances if they lose”. The rest are as bad.
I have been in a studio with this guy on multiple occasions and he always had spectacularly dumb and unpleasant shit to say, but at least I didn’t have to watch him try to spell
I represented England as a schoolboy to U21 everytime I put the shirt on to play for my country I felt pride I felt honoured I felt united and inspired because I was wearing a shirt that had my national flag on it,

You choose your religion, and you interpret it. You can choose to practise that religion without being homophobic.
And let's be clear, NOT respecting a homophobic culture means annoying bigots with your opinions. Not respecting LGBTQ+ people tends to mean murder.
🏴🗣️Jordan Henderson: "If I wear the rainbow armband, if that disrespects their religion, then that’s not right either."
"Everybody should be respectful of religion and culture. That’s what I think we’re all trying to fight for here in terms of inclusion and everything."

Quick reminder that it's gross to treat racism, sexual assault, and other moral abominations in football as club-allegiance fodder and opportunities to laugh at other fans
You do wonder what these morons get up to in their own lives that makes them so eager to defend footballers against accusations of rape and sexual assault

If you’re “shocked” or “stunned”, maybe you haven’t been paying attention.
After a certain number of bad apples, the logical thing is to have questions about the tree.
Bad owners: take money out of their clubs
Good owners: put money into their clubs, sometimes install dictators who murder dissidents/start wars, sometimes are themselves those dictators
What is everyone not getting, this is very clear
If you’re angry that a crime is affecting your football club, consider blaming the perpetrator of the crime and the club for disgracing themselves by covering it up, rather than the victim
Anytime someone says “I’m entitled to my opinion” what they mean is “I should be entitled to express my opinion without any criticism or consequences for that opinion”
She seems to have no idea what university is for.
You don’t go solely to attend classes, you go for an intellectual experience, and to work out what kind of adult you’ll be.
Maybe the murder of Palestinian kids is more important than the “spring celebration”.
Insane that there are people tweeting “cry more” at anyone who is understandably upset about a rapist going free because convictions are almost impossible to get
2021 was absolute trash, especially the first 5 months, which were some of the worst I’ve had in years. But my daughter arriving in May was the better than I could have imagined, and made the rest of the year magical, even when it was tiring or bleak.

Don't understand the point of dropping refs for a game. Either they're competent refs who just made mistakes, in which case they should work as normal, or they're incompetent and should be fired. Dropping them is a weird half-and-half action.
Lee Mason dropped from Premier League games this weekend after his VAR error in Arsenal vs. Brentford.
John Brooks, who was dropped as VAR for two games after his mistake denied Brighton a goal, will be fourth official at Aston Villa vs. Arsenal.

Legend of the game.
Utterly heartbreaking hearing the Italian boxer Angela Carini in the mixed zone. Blood on her shorts.
Broke down in tears as she explained that she had never been hit so hard before.
Added that she came her to honour her father, that she was a warrior, but had to stop.
Honestly, this sport is 20 years behind the culture in every kind of social justice, it's a fucking disgrace. Women, LGBTQ+ people, Black people, workers, all ground into meat to make a few people rich
If I were writing about Mason Greenwood I would simply not include quotes saying "He's been cleared" (he hasn't), "he's changed" (no evidence), or describing his actions as "immature choices". Stop road-testing United's rehab programme
I don’t even have a problem with Liverpool, they’re fine, but after months of being told I was biased and they were clearly the best, I’m compelled to point out that third best is not actually THE best
That interview also makes clear how desperate LGBTQ+ people are for any indication that football gives a shit about them.
Henderson got credit for wearing rainbow laces and being normal around gay people! That's it! All he had to do was not take $$$ from a murderous despot
It's so miserable watching the Tories run a campaign against a totally fictional left-wing version of Starmer, when actually on immigration/Palestine/trans rights this guy is barely different from those ghouls
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says that trans women should be banned from women-only spaces.
Asked if trans women (even those with GRCs) have the right to use women's spaces, Starmer said: "No. They don’t have that right. They shouldn’t".
(Via The Times)
What’s funny is I’ve seen a week of Liverpool fans saying that if they don’t win the league, it’ll be because of refs.
You’re the third best team, if you don’t win the league, it’ll be because of probability
At least it’s not hidden now: fans of this game think winning football matches is more important than the lives and dignity of women and LGBTQ+ people.
Every man under 30 on here uses the word Tory as an insult, but they all think of themselves as entrepreneurs and will applaud some prick pushing women around if it means they can get to work a minute early to do worthless labour for a boss who hates them
This is in fact what it takes to compete with Manchester City. The season Liverpool got 97 points, they had 5 players over 3000 mins. The season they won the league, 8 of their first XI played over 2500.
Journos as Arsenal go 27 points clear: Still, you scent disaster on the wind, the stench of failures past, the cold breeze of the abyss
Journos after United narrowly lose a cup game: It was just such a night in Rochdale which announced a young Scot called Ferguson to the world
Fans using this stuff to score points on rivals are disgusting and shouldn't do that, but they're not wrong that this is a shameful moral stain on everyone around the player and should not be easily forgotten.
It’s absolutely a penalty, there is no debate to be had there.
It’s not a foul on Raya and the goal should stand, but once the ref gives it, the VAR can’t overturn it.
I wouldn’t recommend kids to everyone - especially not when you’re doing 2 jobs and a postgrad course - but truly, this little girl is the funniest, most charming, most interesting person I’ve ever met.
The combination of teenage “don’t tell me what to do” sentiment and turbocharged social awkwardness means people here never listen to anyone trying to help them or take any radical action.
Keep licking Tory boots until you’re paying £15 for a Pret sandwich every day 👍🏻
Very funny to have to explain to my in-laws how football works during that game, while shouting “fuck OFF” every time the Netherlands fucked up a break
@MC_of_A
These do exist for every player, we (at Sky) used to get sent them for all PL clubs at the start of the season. People are just lazy and refuse to make the effort.
The insistence on treating football transfers as a morality play is so tedious. This club spends too much. These owners don’t spend enough. That offer was insulting. Shut the fuck up
