Extraordinary how much of the media is essentially trying to incite rioting now. Not just legitimise or normalise but actively encourage. It is, of course, unlikely to kick off anywhere near them.

Preempting the contractual excuses about Arsenal's conduct. If player contracts stipulate they may continue playing while under investigation for rape, then football has an institutional problem with how it regards sexual violence. Change it.

Charged, named and shamed. Believe women, believe victims, believe those brave enough to come out and share their stories.
Serious questions need to be asked of the club who were ready to extend his contact despite knowledge of what was happening.

It's shameful that we were even considering renewing him.
The people at the top of the club were not blind to this situation, and still considered it in the interests of sporting expedience.
Lessons should be learned.

I am proud of what immigrants like my mum and those across Luton North have given to our country. Many serve in our NHS, open biz, enrich culture/arts & much more.
The best way to avoid becoming an ‘island of strangers’ is investing in communities to thrive - not pitting people against each other.

Honestly just does my head in. Serious foul play is one of the few flawless and totally acceptable ways to use VAR and they just don’t bother. Player safety a total non issue for PGMOL but trivial nonsense is fussed over endlessly. Really badly just want Webb to go.
If VAR isn't upgrading Tarkowski's challenge, then the bar is simply too low.
You should not be able to 'tackle' like that. Period.

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…

A great example of the British Right finally catching up. Their primary objective of 'owning the libs' has hit brutal reality.

Season basically over, and whilst the Martinelli injury came out of the blue, this one didn’t. We all saw Havertz collapse to the ground after Wolves, when the window was still open.
And we said “get up, you’re playing 200 minutes of the next three games”.
