People say that dominating possession by utilising the likes of Zinchenko and TAA as inverted full/wing backs is a stroke of tactical genius.

Sure Guardiola and the rest are good coaches, but I was using IWBs back in 2019 on Football Manager.

Tactical genius, ahead of my time.

@NorwichCityFC What, Nodge and Guinness - two of my favourite things? And a rascal shirt too? Take my money 👌

There’s no doubt that Israel’s war in Gaza was not genocide. It is the least likely urban conflict in modern history to meet the standard legal definition of genocide.

And you don't have to take my word for it. Take the word of the High Level Military Group, the HLMG, which is a collection of all the of high level officers and generals from almost all the Western democracies in the world, not just the United States. These people aren't Jews. They have no connection with Israel. They're just generals in militaries around the world.

They wrote a report and a brief to the International Criminal Court, the ICC, saying that Israel’s civilian warning system is completely unlike anything any other country has ever been willing to do for the civilian population of an enemy in wartime. Under this system, Israel tells the civilian population of Gaza exactly where it will be striking the next day and then provides humanitarian corridors for them to leave those zones. They also say it is something our own democracies would never be able to do, because our civilian populations would never stomach endangering the lives of our own soldiers by warning the enemy where our sons and daughters will be.

Israel's unprecedented efforts to protect the lives of civilians in Gaza has taken a very heavy toll on the IDF. Over 800 Israelis have been killed in Gaza precisely because they warned the civilian population to get out of harm's way.

I see The Killers are about to take the stage before kick off at the #UCLfinal…

“You evil Zionist bitch!”

80 year old Academy award winner Dame Helen Mirren attacked on the street for saying that Jews shouldn’t be murdered.

Attacking people for saying Jews shouldn’t be murdered doesn’t help your cause. Unless, of course, that’s your cause.

Finally some proper British journalism 👏

Still, at least Boro have had two wins from two at Trafalgar Square, ey?

@TomOz89 @OZM101 @FPLJessx Furthermore to the point about the UN, @OZM101

[New York Post @nypost]

Four more UNRWA staff - including teachers - found to have kidnapped Israelis on Oct. 7, as feds weigh criminal charges https://t.co/i28EbfsaNc

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@OZM101 @FPLJessx You trust the UN, who’re embedding within Hamas where UNRWA are concerned?

That’s where you’re going wrong 😅

[Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter]

I’m a genocide scholar and Israel is not committing one.

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@FPLJessx Hamas wanted to kill every Israeli (including the 2 million Arab-Israelis who live in peace & vote & live in democracy). If Israel wanted to commit a genocide, they could’ve. Please listen to the points made in this video.

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@FPLJessx Jess, you’re hideously uniformed of the situation. As a Norwich fan who’s been to the region many times, who knows Jews, Arabs & Christians living in Israel, I assure you there is no genocide.

The fact you are against a player being signed based on him being Jewish is sickening.

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@j_beament @cheltcanary It’s not a genocide. Never has been, never will be. Ffs 🙈

Pitch invasion for getting in the play-offs… the definition of tinpot 😆😆😆 #ncfc

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@stichraw Also, less of the homophobia you prick

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@stichraw I’ve been to most away games this season pal & seen some absolute dross… it’s for that reason I’m delighted we’ve finished where we have and have avoided being in the relegation battle. So I’m buzzing. That said, invading the pitch, only to go out in the semis, is tinpot AF

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@kamackeris Expand, please, Paul…

[Matty @MatthewSoakell]

@garyslade1987 A club together, who were second bottom and on 9 points in November, celebrating an incredible run and end to the season - finishing not far off the play-offs - I think a collective moment can be allowed, yeah.
