No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.
.@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey.

🚨 West Ham chairman David Sullivan's anonymity order has been vacated.
That means he can be named as the Premier League Club owner under investigation for rape, child sexual exploitation and sexual assault
The Deputy leader of the Green Party, Mothin Ali, at pro Iran regime demonstration.
This is the real face of the Greens. They’re no longer wacky tree huggers.
They’re dangerous people who side with a brutal regime who have massacred 40,000 Iranians.
Tower Hamlets council meeting descends into ABSOLUTE chaos.
Residents are asking about bins, housing, crime and council tax…
…and Foreign Councillors are debating Bangladeshi politics.
When did this become ACCEPTABLE!
This is a LOCAL council.
Focus on LOCAL issues. 🇬🇧
The Green Party's Zack Polanski & Mothin Ali were interviewed by 5 Pillars, an Islamist outlet that promotes anti-Jewish and homophobic slurs and hosts far-right antisemites like Nick Griffin. The Greens are now in bed with the UK's most rancid extremists.

I am a British Jew...I grew up in a council flat in Harold Hill, sharing a bedroom with 2 of my bros. My Dad worked nights & my Mum worked & studied childcare. Where is this apparent trickle down of wealth? Were we the only Jewish family living on the bread line? Im confused..🤷♂️
Ash Sarkar tries to ‘correct’ Dr Myriam Francois as she says that Jews are privileged and wealthy. “Individuals” prompts Ms Sarkar? “Group” doubles down Dr Francois.
It is part of her argument that Government funds are being unduly spent defending a minority against a secondary racism, using a classic antisemitic trope about Jewish wealth.
It might be ironic were it not so darkly dangerous too.
She is effectively arguing that because there are some Jewish billionaires in Britain, all Jews are therefore wealthy and privileged and they cannot possibly be as vulnerable or maligned as is being claimed.
It is hard to know where the ignorance ends and the prejudice begins.
Were Dr Francois to spend any time in Britain’s Jewish community, she would see families struggling with poverty, families that are comfortable, and families that are wealthy – just like any other community.
In any event, nobody deserves to be maligned for their ethnic or religious background, regardless of their wealth.
According to our analysis of Home Office figures, Jews are more than nine times more likely to be the targets of hate crime than any other religious group – and these figures are not even complete, such that the true scale is likely to be even worse.
It is insulting that Dr Francois dismisses the reality that British Jews are living through – to the point that a majority of them no longer see a future in this country – because she found some Jewish names on the rich list.
The fact that she was even looking is telling.
This is the face of ‘educated’ discourse about Jews in Britain, from an Oxford-educated doctor of philosophy and broadcaster for the BBC, Channel 4, Al Jazeera and the Islam Channel.
Last night scum stole the statue of my Grandfather Teddy Baldock Britain's youngest ever World Boxing Champion. The statue was unveiled outside the Langdon Park DLR Station in Poplar, East London. Years of work and a stunning work of art by the sculptor, the late Carl Payne will be sold for scrap and melted down. Please retweet in case we can recover it.
For the final year at The Boleyn Ground (2015/16), West Ham United were 18th in the Deloitte Money League.
Ten years later, following a decade at Stratford which we were told would improve the club's fortunes from a financial perspective, the club have just been placed 20th.
One of these clubs is about to be relegated to the second tier.
If you’ve managed that, then you’re simply not competent enough to run a football club.
We are delighted to announce that planning permission has been granted for the enabling works at Vitality Stadium.
This marks an important milestone in the club’s long-term vision for redevelopment and future expansion.
Yet another club to add to the list trying to redevelop and modernise their homes rather than being forced to play in an Athletics Stadium for 99 years. #WHUFC#Irons
Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the submission of planning applications for the redevelopment of the City Ground.
Our home for over 120 years will see a significant investment made by our owner, Evangelos Marinakis, to deliver a sustainable and iconic design which increases the stadium’s capacity to over 50,000. The redevelopment will be an integral part of the economic growth of the city and the wider region.
The Club is grateful for the positive public engagement and overwhelming support shown for our proposals ahead of the planning submission. We would also like to thank to our key partners, Gleeds, KSS Design Group, Buro Happold, and Savills for their support to date.
We look forward to working with the Mayor of the East Midlands, Rushcliffe Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, as well as our supporters and the wider community, to achieve a successful outcome in the near future.
Our joint bid to host the @FIFAWWC features 16 proposed English stadiums, with a further six proposed from across Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
