You annual reminder that Rage Against the Machine are a political band. The clue is in the name so I probably wouldn't be shocked if they make political statements.
The Spectator's article about Rashford is late because they had to remove all the unsupported 'facts' and parts that made them look a bit racist. Here's what it looks like now.
Karen on the Nicky Campbell phone in is in tears because this whole thing with Boris is reminding her of the bit in the Lion King with the hyenas circling.
I wish this was satire.
Just read that Athletic piece.
TL:DR He did a bad thing but he's really really good at football and we're trying to figure out a way to sneak him back on the pitch without it all kicking off too much.
Canโt believe Southgate hasnโt resigned yet. Thatโs two World Cups and a home European Championship we could/should have won.
Stop rewarding failure. Got to go. Time to hire somebody who can win.

One to watch in the next weeks.
Man accused of rape: still widely respected in his profession, perceived as the model pro & a great influence on young players.
Man refuses to do the job he is paid magnificently for & throws a petty strop: 'I've lost respect for him.'
Go home, football. You're drunk.
There is no 606 tonight.
I hope Gary Lineker and the BBC resolve this messy situation and Gary is back on MOTD soon but Iโd have loved to have worked on our football phone in tonight and chatted about football and all of the days games.
Gonna put this pic of

& Margaret Atwood on my bedside table in a frame and pretend they're my immediate family. (I'm too old to be their kid but fully prepared to put my knees in my shoes for this).
Today is a day when people pay attention to domestic violence/toxic masculinity issues in football so I'm going to drop a few articles I've written about it here.
Lads, this is real and important. If you're out tonight and have a mate who's a bit of a prick, tell him. A lot of men don't listen to women. If you want to help us, this is what you can do.
Sameshima worked at the Fukushima plant to support herself during her early career. Won 2010 Asian Games, WC in 2011 playing every game, runner up WC 2015, winner 2018 Asian cup. But no, youโre right. She did a shit throw in so cancel all womenโs football.
Using AI, I was able to take some old painting and make it better. First the painting. Notice how you can barely see what's even going on. Where even is this? Who are the people? Huh? You're too far away to really see the setup. Whole left side blank. Nothing here to grab onto.
As a feminist and a pacifist, I say let the seven time world kick boxing champion and the desperately embarrassing misogynistic ex-footballer sort it out in a pub car park. Tops off.
Bad news, lads. Head Lesbians In Charge (HLIC) Jodie Foster, Megan Rapinoe and Kristin Stewart convened an emergency board meeting earlier and took a vote. THE LESBIANS ARE NOT APPEASED BY THE CLOTH FLAG.
Women writing great songs and getting buried by the laddery of Britpop in the 90s still grieves me. Sleeper, Echobelly, Salad, Elastica, Lush, Skunk Anansie, Hole, Garbage etc.
Controversially none of those women turned out to be massive sex pests either.
I've been writing about toxic masculinity in sport for more years than I care to remember and if I've learned anything, it's that this image & statement will challenge more people to think about their views than anything I've ever said.
RE Mark Field story, I'm so over being told how I should react to things. I've been attacked in the street & my home, kicked in the crotch by a boy when I was 14, sexually harassed too many times to count & every SINGLE time told to lighten up or I'm too emotional.
Fuck. Off.
