Europe is running out of hope Trump is still open to persuasion over Ukraine
Where the US president sees a convivial leader an ocean away, Europeans see a tyrant on its borders breaking all agreements

This week’s column. Some (not all) of the coverage I have seen of Myles Lewis Skelly over the last 10 days or so has bothered me. It’s clear many of us are still not mindful enough and do not take due care with language and framing when it comes to talking about black footballers 👇🏻

An 18 year old English superstar talent was wrongly sent off, then comes back in a massive fixture, in front of the world, and dominated full grown men defensively and scores a brilliant solo goal. The English media line up to call him a villain and to “rein it in”

Big day for the whole club. I’m obviously incredibly biased but Arsenal take all the heat for not being top of both leagues while other clubs of large means don’t get the same heat.

if the men could also get that result but in a less stressful way and without the shameful refereeing then I’ll have had a very nice day

Personnel change needed at half time in midfield. Preferably Walti but if she’s not fit enough for 45, Codina. City finding the switch to Fujino easily, Arsenal not protecting the back four and not taking care of the ball there. Need to stop the bleed there.

If this is true, their attitude is the worst possible combination of siege mentality and egotism.
They're putting themselves above the game it's their duty to serve, and if they can't climb down over this, then surely there's a question of whether they're fit for purpose.

Darren Lewis reporting that he has spoken to PGMOL who are supporting the decision made by the referee and the VAR on Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card.

Glad to see the Lewis Skelly red is being roundly condemned but we can’t treat it as a black swan event or a one off aberration. Webb is trying to create a culture of referees being stars and it needs to stop and it needs to be called out.

Funny how everyone was happy to accept that David Coote was just a bad apple and expend no intellectual, or I daresay journalistic, energy on considering if there's a wider 'subjectivity' problem.

Looking forward to waves of (more) gaslighting about that red card now, because nobody can take their fucking blinkers off and realise that referees and PGMOL are ruining the game for everybody.
We're not even ready for what the next 48 hours will hold.

Football is corrupt in a huge number of different ways but if you say so you’re labelled a conspiracy theorist by those with a financial interest in the sport being taken seriously, meaning those participating in the corruption are never held accountable
