@johnwalker_1986 Get the manny pom poms out. He has great attributes but you can dress it up all you like, mentally he switches off and doesnt react quickly enough. Which is why he won't be going half as far in his career as you think
@johnwalker_1986 Far too many have a blind spot for him. He does this in a lot of games. Switches off, lack of urgency. Would take a Clint hill over him all day long
@alexjg0@KaiGWatson Fernandez has the attributes but he'll never progress unless he switches on. I worry about him all the time. He switches off far too often. Baffles me the support he has. The defence is horrendous
Highly requested, so here are all the top DEFCON defenders at each price point!
(Based off last season)
👉🏻I’ve included promoted teams + some new transfers too!

😂 This Harry Hill’s TV Burp clip on “Muslim Driving School” is brilliant.
Harry mercilessly takes the mickey out of the entire premise and a few Muslim traditions while he’s at it.
First he zeros in on an 18-year-old, born and bred British girl who was married off in an arranged marriage to a man her parents chose in Pakistan.
Harry, completely deadpan:
“Hmm… the arranged marriage. How’s it going?”
Cut straight to the narrator:
“As an 18-year-old divorcee…”
😭 The audience loses it. Harry just pulls that classic awkward face and goes, “Sorry to hear that. Oh well… plenty more fish in the sea.”
Then later, with a different woman whose husband is “very confident” she’ll pass her test, Harry gets ready to crack open the champagne… only to be disappointed when she fails, but quickly adds:”
“It’s non-alcoholic… yeah, I’m sensitive.” 😂
Little polite jab at Muslims and alcohol. Nothing vicious, just lighthearted teasing.
This was mainstream television. ITV. Peak-time. And there was no outrage. People took it exactly as it was meant: good-natured, sharp British jesting.
That was just over a decade ago.
No way on earth you’d see a clip like this on mainstream TV today.
Times really have changed… and not for the better when it comes to being allowed to laugh at things.
Bring back TV Burp!
A man was arrested on suspicion of upskirting during a policing operation at Wembley Stadium as thousands of fans attended the Bruno Mars concert. Link in bio. #Wembley#News#HarrowOnline
🚨NEW: Following a review by the CPS, Cody Harper has had the charge of assaulting a police officer dropped
"It is understood that the footage of his arrest undermined the suggestion he knew he was assaulting a police officer."
@KaiGWatson Normally feel you are bang on the money with your posts but completely disagree with this one. Ode has been one of Norway best players tonight
@reblzdotcom@TartanArmyGroup Will never understand how he gets the jobs he gets. Ruined Belgiums best chance of winning something and been a flop at Portugal. Anyone thinking nations league is a success needs a wobble. Its like a pre season cup
The ZOOMED IN FOOTAGE shows it clearly.
Cody Harper is halfway to his feet, still stumbling up from a beating, when an officer rushes him and pins him against the shutters. She never says she's police. He's in pure fight-or-flight, still thinking it's another attacker.
So he swings to get free.
That's it. That's the whole crime they're taking him to court for.
He's at Birmingham Magistrates Court on JULY 23. That's a first hearing, not the trial. He enters his plea, and if he pleads not guilty, he can take it to a JURY. Twelve ordinary people, watching that same footage.
Prison is unlikely for a first-timer. But that was never really the point. A conviction still leaves him with a criminal record, and depending on how it goes, that can trail him for years, turning up on the background checks employers run before they hand you a job.
For a lad who was jumped in the street, that's the real cost here. Not a cell. A mark against his name he did nothing to earn.
Now the bit that should stop you cold.
Watch the SECOND officer. She walks straight up to the men who beat him, has a word, and lets them stroll off FREE. Then comes back and helps arrest the lad they attacked.
Those attackers? Weeks on. Never even arrested.
1:30am, Broad Street. Cody, 20, is set on by a group. One floors him. Another swings at the back of his head. The police are right there. They don't chase the men doing it. They grab the VICTIM.
Then the officer snarls at him, you're going to walk to the car, you f***ing dick. Try that in the street yourself and see how fast you're nicked.
Then came their statement. No concerns over the officer. And please, stop sharing the footage.
So X's own readers pinned a note under it. The footage disproves the police's account. Share it far and wide, to get justice for the man arrested. Fourteen million have seen it now.
The police asked you to look away, and the public fact-checked them on their own post.
This force is in special measures. Graded INADEQUATE on investigating crime and protecting the public. HALF the investigations inspectors checked had failed. They may have failed to log 46,000 uses of force. Their Chief Constable walked out in disgrace in January. Their crime-prediction tech gets it wrong 8 times out of 10.
It’s not just Birmingham.
Forces everywhere got flooded with green recruits in a hiring rush while the experienced ones walked. Training and vetting couldn't keep up. So now young officers with barely any life experience are making split-second calls they aren't ready for.
Then there's the guidance. After Henry Nowak, the police are reviewing their own anti-racism policies, because officers are so busy second-guessing the optics of race, they miss the job right in front of them. Protect the victim. Arrest the attacker.
Remember Nowak? Handcuffed as he lay dying, because his killer cried racism first and they believed the liar.
Same instinct. Grab whoever looks like less trouble. Miss the actual crime.
That's not one bad officer. That's a broken force, green recruits, and a rulebook with its priorities upside down.
They found time to charge him. They still can't find the men who beat him.
Nobody's had a trial. Cody's owed his day in court like anyone. Say that plainly.
But watch that second officer let his attackers walk, read the note the public stapled to the police's own words, and ask yourself one thing.
Who are the police actually protecting here.
Because it isn't him.
