What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is.
The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.
Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

I feel like if you had to ban social media for any group of people for their own protection, you should probably start with people over 60.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

5Live experts on Lewis-Skelly red card:
Pat Nevin: “a bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it…”
Mark Chapman: “baffling and nonsensical from supposedly one of our best referees.”
I don't think anyone except VAR or Michael Oliver thought that was a red.

What is the point of trying to analyse a game of football when a referee does that?
I'm sorry, but you cannot convince me that's anything other than an utterly corrupt decision from an official who has done this to us before - AT THIS VERY GROUND.
PGMOL and Oliver can just fuck off.

What I'm calling Arsenal's Big Three -- Saka, Odegaard, Saliba -- have all been in the Premier League starting XI in 10 of 22 matches this season. Include Rice and it's just eight.
There has been one starting XI since August to contain White, Rice, Saka, Saliba and Odegaard (Chelsea, away).
