Michael Spicer posted a wonderful clip yesterday "If art critics spoke like football pundits."
Here is my response: If football pundits spoke like Art Historians.

@MarcusChhan Nice

@MarcusChhan Maybe it just works for him. Mind our own business.

@MarcusChhan Smith's?

Iranian football fans at Azadi stadium chanting seemingly rude anti-Palestine 🇵🇸 slogans last night feels highly offensive. But here’s the context:

The Iranian government is behind the appalling terror attacks just seen in Israel. The people inside Iran support Palestine but not with terrorism. God knows they’ve seen enough of it inflicted on them by their own government. They also have nothing against Jews or Israelis.

So the chant “shove that Palestinian flag up your arse!” is really not aimed at Palestine, it’s aimed at the Islamic regime officials waiving the flag and what THEY represent, NOT the flag.

True, using the Palestinian flag as some extremely esoteric way to denote condemnation of the IRANIAN regime does seem moronic and misguided. But that’s football fans for you.

So for clarity of intent, an alternative chant could have been “Jihadi wankers, stop the flag-waving bollocks, you don’t give two shits about Palestine, you never have, no one wanted this, now hundreds of innocents are dead on both sides, NOT in OUR name, you absolute filth shit bag bastards.”

I hope that clears it up.

@MarcusChhan Ludicris...... 🤣

@MarcusChhan It's concerning that another long-standing business has left the neighbourhood. Let's hope that someone can make a good replacement 🤞🏻

@MarcusChhan Looks like a sensible signing vs 115 for Caicedo.

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan Trossard is a big differential

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan Both of those things. He's not as good as Aguerd either. So at 20 million plus the 6 million salary it's a risk, but prevalent ok. At 40 million, no way.

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan 🤣🤣

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan Wow!!!

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan Thanks for sharing. Just WOW. And shame on the Spanish media.

[Simon Barnett @SiBarnett]

@MarcusChhan Yes!!
