Why does Russell Martin keep getting jobs?

It’s a fair question but goes back to the “possession obsession” so many owners and technical directors have in today’s football

beyondthe90.substack.com

In 2013 Manchester City's UAE owners helped decide how a UK council handled a Freedom of Information request. When our director @ncgeehan.bsky.social asked for details of the Etihad Campus deal they flagged his background to the Council. This is why States shouldn't be allowed to own football clubs.

Just to say thanks to Bill Bryson. His 2003 masterpiece, A Short History of Nearly Everything, auto-updated in my Audible library to the 2025 "2.0" version even though I no longer pay Amazon for a subscription. I thank the author because I'm sure that d*ck Bezos would've charged for it.

Equality, diversity and inclusion are core values for #BHAFC So one Brighton fan in Mexico wants to know how can the club accept money to promote Experience Kissimmee as a sponsor when Florida passes anti-EDI legislation and has a 'Don't Say Gay' law? Read: www.wearebrighton.com/newsopinion/...

"The Albion once had a pretty good and seemingly like-minded sponsorship deal with Experience Kissimmee. “A Brighton-worthy partner in a sea of hate and vileness.” "All of that is gone now. So should be their patch on our sleeves."

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com · 5d ago

The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.

Now hear me out...is it more or less beneficial for the Premier League that #ShamCity wins all their matches in the event of their relegation/expulsion? What happens to any points a proper club gets against them? Should all proper clubs just gain 6 points at the end of the season?

Aaaah that Ronaldo statement is insane, how can he be such a tit

Sensational stuff by Rémi Dupré: Congo should *not* have either played the WC play-offs or in the WC itself after repeatedly fielding an ineligible player; but Gianni Infantino made sure Fifa ignored the recommendations of its own legal team and did not sanction the Congolese.

Comment la FIFA a contourné son règlement pour favoriser la qualification de la République démocratique du Congo à la Coupe du monde 2026

Officials determined that a goalkeeper from the Democratic Republic of Congo did not have the correct paperwork, documents show. But no action was taken, renewing questions about FIFA’s governance.

What just happened during the Canadian anthem?

@gregjenner.bsky.social Greg, history shows, books, textbooks give us dates like 14 October 1066. Knowing England didn't adopt the You-orian calendar until the 18th century, what would've the combatants at Hastings thought the date to be? Would they have even been using dates?

Superb book, ludicrous bargain 👌👇

I want City punished to whatever the hilt is. Smash 'em. But, and I'm sorry, the word "guilty" does not appear in the independent commission's redacted report once. Not once. Lawyer up y'all. The City (state) ownership will use ANYTHING. Obviously, they have never been told no.

I don't know about you all (yens, you guys, y'all), but I am utterly sick of the rich and powerful. It's gone too far. Time to revolt, peacefully, of course.

Thought experiment: What if the US was sanctioned ala Russia? What would happen to English football if all Americans were forced to sell up like Roman?
