Getting a weird Burnham and UAE/Andy Stone and the Mob in Casino feeling. ‘Why take a chance?’

Just a reminder that in this democracy it’s illegal to write the name of a country on a piece of cardboard and stand outside of a public building.
I failed English at school. They mean me. I’ve done a bit of writing since.

Reposting this purely because she laughed at something I said once. Deserves better luck.
Rachel Parris@rachelparris.bsky.social · 4d agoHey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
Bit if an unusual take on Sunday’s game but I’d like Liverpool to concentrate on winning the game first and foremost.

Blame City, not Dave from Cheadle Hume

Do people go out of their way to ignore the thrust of an argument? Latest piece was about concentrating on the cheats at City, not taking it out on Dave from Cheadle Hume. That became ‘fuck your mate Jase.’ I’ll let him know before his next surgery.

The Anfield Wrap @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social · 5d ago"My ire - and it’s visceral - is directed solely at the UAE, the Premier League, the City hierarchy and the Prime Minister... "The fans who just want to see their team do well? Nah. Being told how to behave by the persiflage accounts? Double nah." ✍️ @thecenci.bsky.social's column...
Not happy with the media really pushing the aggressive nature of Anfield at the weekend. Practically begging for an 'incident.' We'll do what's in our hearts, not what's in the interest of Gary Neville's next ten podcasts.
Companies who answer the phone with a voicemail where you can’t leave a message. You’ll go bust. It’s right that you go bust. Speak to the people who can give you money to stop that happening. Even I’ve worked that out.
Can’t be doing with performative fury planned out in advance. Just can’t.
Presented without comment. Alright then. Some comment. Pump wearing, head wobbling, shiny suited jackaninny.

I for one am delighted the prime minister of this country has clarified he does not support widespread corporate fraud.

Nothing but time for the old Maine Road faithful who stayed loyal when they were a laughing stock. None of this is on them. It’s the corporate entity which should be shunned.

City fans did nothing wrong. Weird and childish to focus on them getting some joy rather than the criminality of the owners.
City fans got the high. No one can take that back. The actual trophies and titles never mean more than the final whistle feeling.
Not into Henry Winter’s suggestion that the Lpool players don’t shake hands next week but I’d be fine with the match day programme and scoreboard calling it Liverpool v Opponents
Same goes for the Chelsea years of cheating under Abramovich, which Chelsea are very lucky to get away with a light touch penalty because the new owners brought it up (which they legally were required to do). Taken together about 20 years+ of cheating under league’s nose. 13 PL titles between them
Looking at details in Man City verdict, other cases and leaked emails, it’s astonishing how brazen and straightforward this scheme was without anyone at the PL noticing. It took a computer hack and then leaks to bring it out into open. The oversight clearly couldn’t discover such an obvious scheme.
Thought Burnham showed some valls after his speech yesterday but if you give them enough rope …
