Let's do this again. Quote this with your pictures from across the weekend from the game, the parade, your supporters clubs, wherever you are in the world 📸
Go!
@darthmarc112@tobytarrant I can assure you that it’s more frustrating for fans of other clubs who see you spend millions every window without censure than it is for city fans watching their team win trophies every year on a playing field that simply isn’t level.
Lord’s, August 1973. A 37 year old Garry Sobers was playing his last series in England. He was batting on 31 not out at the end of the first day’s play and decided to go out with Clive Lloyd.
After meeting friends they went to a nightclub and drank and danced till five. Sobers then decided it was no point going to sleep and went out for a few more drinks and then showered just before going in to bat. He took a break when batting to go to the toilet, had a couple more drinks in there and then went back in to smash an unbeaten 150.
RIP Sir Garfield Sobers, the man who could outdrink Botham and Boon and outplay every cricketer on the planet.
Greame Souness casually flicking the round the defender turning and hitting a sublime half volley from outside the box on his weak foot.
Some dumb prick actually said he was just a ‘stopper’ on this app before🤣
@WarrenPeace_75@A_GymGuy@S6_S20orrr I fully agree with accusers having anonymity. The lack of parity with those that are accused though is what seems unfair to me. Especially when the accused is found not guilty after years of being on bail. Reputations get ruined.
@A_GymGuy@WarrenPeace_75@S6_S20orrr One of the issues with our CJS is the fact that while accusers have life long anonymity, the accused’s name is put out as soon as he is charged. Has always seemed unfair that to me. That and of course the inordinate time between charge and trial when the accused is on bail…
Two weeks ago I booked tickets to see @CountBinface performing live in London, which seemed like a quirky fun thing to do 🗑️
Then Nigel Farage and the media furore happened, and somehow I randomly ended up being the only journalist in the audience last night at the sold-out gig (many journalists had begged to attend to no avail, apparently) 😅
The veteran journalist John Sweeney @johnsweeneyroar interviewed him live on stage in the style of Jeremy Paxman and then it was opened up to the floor.
Overall, it was a very funny gig - John Harvey seemed to view the whole week is rather surreal. I think some of the best material he’d planned for the gig he’d already used on air, so he was literally ad-libbing satire on the spot based on what questions he was asked, which is pretty impressive given that the room was also not air-conditioned and so we were all sweating in close quarters for an hour and 20 minutes.
I also met one of his supposed supporters, who has been funding him at the rate of £3 a month for the last 15 years 💷 (in answer to the, “who is funding him?” question)
Here are some gems from the night 💎:
- Count Binface clearly really detests Nigel Farage
- Count Binface pledges to put David Attenborough on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square
- On the topic of AI stealing creative content and taking over our jobs, Count Binface wants to “stop the bots!” and thinks we should break into OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s house in the middle of the night steal his DNA to create a “Sam Altman AI”
- Count Binface admits he is “weak on uncontrolled immigration” given that he is an alien that travelled to Earth to stand as a joke candidate, but he says that he is holding back the rest of the spaceships from invading Earth 🚀
- However he did admit that he is an intergalactic space warrior who is bent on dominating mankind (I’m kind of up in the air about whether Clacton should vote for him now)
- The Count Binface helmet does come with some sort of cooling device, but sadly he left it in the dressing room last night before the gig 🫠
- Overall Count Binface said that he just really cares about democracy, and he doesn’t think we should count on him to become a member of Parliament or any other kind of statesmen. In fact, he would like to get only *just* enough votes to prevent Farafe from being elected.
- He just feels it’s important for the public to have the option to spoil their vote in order to express displeasure at current policies and politicians
- And John Sweeney has challenged Nigel Farage to submit for a live onstage interview (highly unlikely, methinks)
P.S. Do get in contact if you would like to use any of the images and videos that I captured last night. Yes, I do need to be paid, legal action will be taken if you use it without permission 😊

@AlexF1BCL Racism is rampant on this platform and in real life too sadly. It’s getting worse. An acquaintance of mine tried to tell me that the P word is no different to “Brit” or “Aussie” the other day. Known him for 25 years, had no idea he was a racist. 😞
@MclachlanCeCe82@SkewSmug Except that the court of appeal expressly said that the advice she received was correct. She clearly pleaded guilty because she WAS guilty. See paragraph 59. https://t.co/hFHTb6CPVz
Well, this is very awkward. Rupert Lowe’s inquiry included testimony from Sally, the mother of Eleanor Williams. Eleanor was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for perverting the course of justice after fabricating allegations of rape, human trafficking, and being the victim of a grooming gang.
Even Tommy Robinson publicly called her out and said she should not be believed after learning that she had also accused other white boys.
She posted photos on Facebook showing severe facial bruising and a swollen black eye, which went viral. It turned out that she had inflicted the injuries on herself.
Tesco CCTV captured her buying the hammer, and forensic experts confirmed that the only DNA found on the blood-stained claw hammer belonged to her, with no trace of anyone else.
For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption:
Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers £5 million to Nigel Farage.
3 June 2024: Days after the transfer, Farage announces he will stand for Parliament.
4 July 2024: Farage is elected MP for Clacton.
29 May 2025: Farage announces that Reform UK will become the first British political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
29 May 2025: Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Farage unveils plans for a Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, including reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, creating a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and preventing banks from debanking crypto users.
September 2025: Farage publicly namechecks Tether and Bitfinex, companies in which Christopher Harborne is a major shareholder, and says he is going to the Bank of England to argue against restrictions on crypto and against the proposed digital pound.
13 October 2025: At the Digital Asset Summit in London, Farage says he wants to “bring crypto in from the cold” and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (“Britcoin”).
25 October 2025: At the Zebu Live crypto conference in London, Farage positions himself as a political champion of the crypto industry and repeats calls for lower crypto taxation and wider adoption.
3 November 2025: In a speech in the City of London, Farage again calls for crypto deregulation and for the UK to become a global crypto hub.
If it could be proven that the £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues, bribery or corruption offences. Under the Bribery Act 2010, the most serious bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.
@UnitedDays99@lou_93x Especially when he made only 27 appearances 2nd time around. Not including wages, even if it was £70m that would be £2.6m per appearance. It just gets funnier the more you look into it 🤣
@UnitedDays99@lou_93x The funniest thing about the Pogba situation is that you gave him away on a free twice having paid for him twice. The second time you bought him cost you £89 m, add ons or not 🤣🤣🤣🤡
