You really, really need to remember opinions like this when this lot are telling you the reason they care so much about the grooming gangs is the safety of women and girls
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
When a police officer murdered Sarah Everard, this is how Nigel Farage responded.
He said it must not be used to attack men or the police.
Compare and contrast to his response to the murder of Henry Nowak.
remember like a month ago when zach polanski retweeted a member of the public's concerns about police conduct and all of politics came screeching to a halt for the day to condemn such a wholly inappropriate political interference into operational policing?
Those who listen to Jamie Carragher baffle me. I struggle to see a single reason he still has a job.
Pep had every resource imaginable, with a club accused of the kind of cheating & systemic corruption that has never been seen in English football before. Like Jürgen Klopp, he lasted 10 years in the Premier League, he was done, he couldn't do it anymore.
All that financial power & his 'advantages', the PL's too, the decline of European clubs, he won 1 Champions League from 10 tries. Meanwhile Sir Alex won two - despite the ban on English clubs, the strength of Europe the entire time he was in charge etc.
He dominated England for three decades. He turned Manchester United into an gargantuan juggernaut, rebuilt on the fly & took down challenger. He couldn't buy whoever he wanted & replace players as he pleased either. He made it work with what he had.
Oh, and I didn't even get into what he achieved in Scotland before he even arrived at Old Trafford, the likes of which Pep could never do because he needs every single tool to be perfect to succeed.
So no, we don't 'insist' that Sir Alex is ahead.. he just is.
