This relegation wasn’t caused in one season.
It was years of drift, bad decisions, poor managers & losing our identity.
From leaving Upton Park to this.
“World class team, world class stadium.”
From the person who jumped ship during our demise.
Sad day for our football club.
Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately
115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years
🚨 Jamie Carragher on West Ham’s disallowed goal against Arsenal:
🗣️ “This is exactly why supporters get frustrated with PGMOL every single weekend. The inconsistency is impossible to ignore now. You watch Arsenal score goals from set-pieces almost every Matchday with blocks, little nudges, players standing their ground in the box, and we’re constantly told it’s ‘clever movement’ or ‘part of the modern game’.
“But the moment another team does something similar against Arsenal, suddenly the microscope comes out and officials decide it’s a foul. That’s the problem people have. Fans just want consistency. If it’s a foul, make it a foul every week. If it’s acceptable contact, then allow it for everyone.
“I looked at the West Ham goal and I honestly didn’t see enough there to disallow it. There’s contact in every single corner situation in football today. Defenders grapple, attackers grapple, players block runs all over the pitch. Arsenal themselves benefit from those situations constantly because they’re excellent at set-pieces.
“What annoys people is that the interpretation changes depending on the team, the atmosphere, or the pressure on the officials. PGMOL keep talking about transparency and improving standards, but supporters are still leaving games confused because the same incident gets judged differently every week.
“If West Ham score that against another side, I genuinely think the goal stands. That’s the uncomfortable conversation people don’t want to have. The consistency simply isn’t there, and until PGMOL sort that out, managers, players and fans will keep feeling robbed by decisions like this.”
Games gone
Embarrassing, I’m sick of watching this beautiful game of ours totally ruined by VAR
Shambles, and if you going to have it then get an ex pro in the studio
It’s literally unbelievable.
I used to absolutely adore football. I’ll never forgive these cunts for taking that away from me.
Corrupt and incompetent….
VAR has absolutely killed the game. It doesn’t matter how good the technology is it still relies on absolute numb heads to make the right decision and surprise surprise today they didn’t.
It’s either one of two things, corruption or incompetence. Either way they are cunts….
Souček being rugby tackled and no pen, Brentford’s first goal a clear foul, Pablo getting cleaned out in the box but no pen because the player ‘slipped’. VAR in all its glory today. Disgrace.
A remainder why this John Higgins performance against Ronnie O’Sullivan is so remarkable
Higgins was actually shot at the Crucible a few years ago #snooker
He done the exact same challenge that put VVD out for a whole year. He’s a prick and a dangerous one at that. Referees need to wisen up to these type of challenges. The worst part is he always gets up and berates the player too.
My wife was sexually harassed at a Marriott hotel. I complained. That was the mistake.
Here is what happened next.
Despite being a top-tier Marriott Bonvoy customer, the Ritz Carlton hotel in Doha pursued me using Qatar’s criminal cybercrime laws.
I was convicted without ever being told, locked-up in an unknown location for four nights, and deported with a 5-year ban. I lost my job.
18 months of trying to resolve it has produced nothing from Marriott. So today we’ve launched a campaign to fund the legal action.
This is about forcing Marriott to answer for what they did — and making sure the next woman who is harassed at one of their hotels is not silenced the same way her husband was.
We have already spent £11,000 ($14,000) of our own. Nothing goes to us. Every £1 / $1 helps and will sends a message to Marriott that this is no way to treat guests.
If you cannot afford to give, please share this post or link instead and tag Marriott.
With thanks to @Telegraph’s Nigel Richardson for the investigation, and @EFischberger for amplifying to over 4 million people 🙏

Crazy story out of Qatar:
A British couple honeymooned in Doha, where the wife was harassed at the Ritz-Carlton pool by two men who told her she'd "fall in love" after he slept with her.
The hotel gaslit her, with management denying the CCTV backed her story despite their own WhatsApp messages saying the opposite.
Her husband posted a TripAdvisor review calling the hotel "unsafe for women." The hotel got it pulled, then a hotel employee filed a defamation complaint against him under Qatar's cybercrime laws.
Nearly a year later, when he returned to Qatar for work, he was detained, informed he'd been tried in absentia and fined, and then held for four nights in a deportation centre. The deportation order lasts five years, which severely hurts his career as a Middle East healthcare consultant.
In other words, Marriott International, an American company, used Qatari law to silence a complaint about a woman being sexually harassed at their property.
