Enzo Fernandez probably got a clean sweep of these. Looking forward to the explanations from the usual suspects telling us he was merely going for a gentle stroll through the Man Utd box and wasn’t even aware there was a football match going on.

Snarky critical theorist. Philosophy music, literature, dogs, Arsenal and Sussex not nec in that order. Retired and still too busy.
As a neutral observer there were two reasons that City goal was offside. Dorgu did not ‘play’ the ball. Fernandez did, even though he missed it. City not only have a petrostate on their side, but PGMOL. The laws that apply to other teams don’t apply to them! #arseblog
I quite like the Belgian approach to capping political donations
Have to say, Fernandez put that red card on a plate for Foden! And Foden obliged! #Manchesterderby
I can give you 72,000,000 (more like 105m) reasons why Farage is not considering stepping back from politics. news.sky.com/story/reform...
Reform given record-breaking £72m by two crypto billionaires
The cash comes amid an unrelated criminal investigation into allegations Reform UK breached rules on political donations.

Ashley Williams claims PGMOL have created a dangerous precedent which will encourage players to roll the defenders and throw themselves to the ground like Ballard. He may be right. On the other hand, PGMOL see adept at managing the cognitive dissonance in a simpler way www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Reform's £72m donations 'entirely in line with law', Jenrick says. Who needs CRIME when you have the law, Bertolt Brecht said.
I may have received £72 million, but at least I wasn't given a pair of glasses and some football tickets.
Our dog Milo accidentally shit in our fish pond. 48 hours later all our 20 odd fish were dead. The foxes chewed threw the bubbler. Very upsetting. It’s also a microcosm of what we are doing to our world. Only we can’t start again with Planet Earth!
I feel this one. I hate what our government is doing to its citizens. I'd say that we deserve better, but do we?🤔
Plus, you know, their superpowered glorified spell checkers are already destroying the planet with additional unnecessary energy and water consumption. We don't need the AGI to magically wake up for the damage to be done.
I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

As Qiet Riot point out, when they said Stop the Boats, they didn’t means Stop ther Ferries.
There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.
Just Stop Oil planned to block a road, they got 21 years. Far Right masked thugs actually blocked roads. Not one arrest, nothing.
Anyone who believes NF’s kettle logic, “we did not commission a poll” & “I wasn’t listening to the conversation,” is as credulous as this who think the 5M from Harbourne was a gift. That clause in the ministerial code is supposed to exempt birthday presents etc from having to be declared. #Liar
“Farage is a ‘spectre’ impeding the UK’s recovery from Brexit, which has cost the UK £3,000 per person government was doing the right thing by seeking closer tries to the EU but…Farage…remains a “spectre” still impeding the UK’s economic recovery.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

Rick Edwards allowed Richard Tice to make a fool of him on R5 this morning Tice has ‘done his reading’ and knows that man made climate change is not a problem, but something we can happily adapt to. Net Zero is ‘stupid’. And the bond markets are up because PM is a moron. Edwards let all this pass!
Tbf this version of the Arsenal app was better before the internet.
Don't buy any Arsenal merchandise baring the deel logo. Deel is an international HR and payroll company co-founded by Israeli billionaire and Zionist Alex Bouaziz. Bouaziz is a high-profile supporter of Israel's genocide of Gaza. Shame on Arsenal and their blood money sponsorship.
