The most despisable man in football is certainly at the right club.

🚨 Enzo Maresca: “I’d like to speak when we WIN the appeal! But I’m telling you… I would've joined Man City if the Premier League verdict had already been published”. “I know the organisation from years ago! And I know how serious they are, I know they do the right things”.

BBC headline seems to be completely at odds with what the chair of this report is saying "Wes Streeting 'completely wrong' about over-diagnosis, says review author"

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author speaks to BBC

The government-commissioned review, which covers England, also says better support is needed for young people with mental health problems.

What an own goal. The determination to get on the end of that cross 😅

Can't help but think ol' Mason might be over thinking this one. There are literal paragraphs on the use of the word "if"

Chris Mason: Why Andy Burnham's about-turn on Manchester City matters

The prime minister's comments on Man City were revealing on several levels - and leapt on by many in football, the BBC's political editor writes.

bbc.co.uk

City's commercial revenue in 17/18, the last year of this investigation, was £232m. It's now £350m, with essentially the same 'sponsors'. If anything they've got worse since this investigation. This story has a long way to run.

Saka having an absolute stinker here

Everton were docked 10 points (reduced to 6 on appeal) for missing PSR by £20m over three years. City overstated their income by £900m over 8 years. LOL 270 point deduction coming.

Kane blows it for England from the spot once again

Set pieces have been appalling tonight

Quansah is not the player you want marrauding down the right

Cucurella you say?

Let's hear about how great Cucurella was there please

Two dreadful corners

The commentators continue to sing Cucurella's praises as he gets skinned by Saka.

Kane is too slow for a game of this level

I mean, everyone knew it was made up when City, a team whose supporters you never meet and struggle to sell out their stadium, started raking in more commercial revenue than Real Madrid.

If city were to be stripped of their titles and the second place teams given the medals (not going to happen but stay with me) Chelsea would get zero medals. Haven't finished second in any of those seasons. How the mighty have fallen. Not looking like getting back any time soon either.

God bless the headline writers. Growth revisions: 2026: 0.9% -> 1.1% 2027: 1.1% -> 1.0%

UK economy will grow by less than expected next year, OECD says

Higher energy prices due to the conflict in the Middle East and climate change could hit growth.

After last night our best XI would seem to be either Palestra James Lacroix Colwill Pep Hendo Caicedo Palmer Rogers Pedro Or a back 4 version of this dropping a CB for a winger. The sooner James is in the backline the better. Henderson seems to give us that opportunity

The PL is a bloody hard league. Almost all teams coached really well to maximise their talents. Brentford are a huge team of muscle men who play very direct for headers, corners, throw ins. It's hard to deal with for 90 minutes. What has our squad been built for? We have a dangerous front 3

20% of pensioners have a million in assets? God bless the triple lock for those poor pensioners. Fuck sake

Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · 3w ago

Why do so many care about inheritance tax when fewer than 5% of estates pay it? Because that statistic counts the dead. Our new model counts living pensioner households instead. 20% have enough assets to face the tax. Over 50% in parts of London. Thread:

Why on earth do the BBC give airspace to this complete and utter wanker? Man who owns pipeline complains about North Sea oil, plus some digs at immigration and tax, from a Monaco tax exile. Does being mega rich mean we have to listen to this bullshit?

Billionaire Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in UK

Ineos founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe tells the BBC he thinks the country is "on the slide" and calls for more investment in the North Sea.

I actually don't think we were that bad tonight. Just got done a bigger team on a set piece then fell apart trying to create something. First half was solid, we were set up in anticipation of this threat, we just have the personel to deal with it.

Brentford are a good team at home. We tried to have more control, instead we lost any kind of attacking threat and still conceded 3. Worst defensive team in the league. Building a squad of weakling midgets who don't like defending doesn't hellp.

Alonso went to a back 4 to chase the game, since then we conceded two to really poor defending down the right channel.

Absolute classic of the boys against men genre here. Getting taught a lesson by a team full of big lumps. We're powder puff

Id take Rogers off. Getting bodied up front and not competing in the air

Yet to see anything positive from this McPhee bloke

Rogers gives nothing defensively

Nanny McPhee needs to pull his finger out
