The complete list of clubs to break the Premier League's "Big Four" without oil money: Tottenham Hotspur.
That's it. Levy did what nobody else could do. You can complain about a lot of choices he made (I have), but all that money he made the club made them winners far beyond any peer.

@footballcliches.bsky.social Radio commentary in the US described Man City's defending as "football diarrhea at its best" for Spurs' second goal. Aside from everything else, I don't think there's any situation anywhere where "best" and "diarrhea" belong in the same sentence.

Football has a problem with sexual assault & rape. It’s not a player specific, club specific issue. It’s players, clubs, governing bodies, media, fans. Victims being failed. No accountability. Boo Arteta to fuck because he’s a cunt & he deserves it but we need to campaign for structural change.

It's often not made clear enough that BYD aren't just an alternative to Tesla, they're a generation ahead and the gap is growing.
Let's look at the EV technology coming out of China in 2025: BYD used the Shanghai show to reveal a charging system powerful enough to deliver 259 miles of range in five minutes, at a peak speed of 1,000 kW—10 times the charge rate of a Mini Cooper.
