@Paars101@TheERDoctor I'm aware... To give that legitimacy is completely hare-brained imho... Also this would mean they don't even need supervision of any kin
🚨 Arsenal among clubs interested in Cristian Romero - but with Spurs totally unwilling to sell to their north London rivals, it looks a non-starter. Atleti + Inter likelier destinations.
#AFC still looking to strengthen central defence.

ASKING: Will we ever see the day when IT cell trolls who hurl vile abuse every day—especially at women in public life—are held accountable, let alone apologise? Or will these serial offenders continue to enjoy complete impunity while teenagers face FIRs and threats? One law for the powerful, another for everyone else?🙏

🚨 EXC: Understand Josh Kroenke has personally taken ownership of Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Jr., assembling a small leadership group spanning football, finance and commercial strategy.
Arsenal's vision is clear: make Vinícius JR the face of the PL, the marquee star of world football's biggest and most watched football league in the world, and restore him to the summit of global sport using Arsenal's platform and KSE's US sports ecosystem.
Vini JR was ranked SportsPro's 2nd most marketable athlete in the world in 2024, behind Simone Biles, but has since slipped to 14th behind Mbappe, following his arrival in 2024.
Arsenal are ready to move once they receive the green light.
Don't think Arsenal shd waste time on this one. They'll eventually find a way to keep him there. Also, huge salary would need more outgoings n that ain't happening coz we don't know to sell well
🚨📰Here’s what Real Madrid’s most reliable journalists are reporting about Vinicius Juniors situation and Arsenal’s interest.
Vinicius Junior is reportedly locked in a serious contract stalemate with Real Madrid.
Sergio Valentín reports that both Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid still want to reach an agreement, but with the contract stalemate dragging on for so long, he now believes a sale is the more likely outcome.
According to the reports, Vinicius Junior’s representatives have repeatedly delayed negotiations, with the Brazilian hoping a strong World Cup would strengthen his bargaining position. However, Real Madrid’s stance has reportedly remained unchanged.
Sergio Valentín reports that Real Madrid have informed Vinicius Junior’s representatives that if a new contract cannot be agreed, they should begin looking for offers from other clubs.
Only three players are considered untouchable at Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde. Vinicius Junior is reportedly not on that list.
Ramon Alvarez de Mon reports that the gap between Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior in contract negotiations is around €7m net per year (approximately €15m gross).
Crucially, the gap has reportedly remained unchanged for more than 12 months, with both Real Madrid and Vinícius Júnior locked in a long-running contract stalemate.
i have been watching and listening to his media bites again and again. i don't know mohammad irfan personally. but every time he speaks, he leaves behind a silence that's difficult to shake off. he represents an india that millions still inhabit. the india beyond our metropolitan bubbles, beyond expressways, airports and glass towers. the india of villages, slums and forgotten settlements, where deprivation isn't an exception; it's inherited. generation after generation.
what moves you isn't just the hardship he describes. it's the complete absence of bitterness. there is no self-pity, no performative anger, no attempt to sensationalize his pain. he speaks with remarkable dignity, asking for things that should never have been extraordinary in the first place. good schools, functioning hospitals, decent roads, employment, clean water and a life of dignity. and he isn't asking only for himself. every sentence carries the weight of countless others whose lives look exactly like his.
perhaps this is also why debates around reservation often miss the point.
reservation was never designed to compensate for poverty alone. it exists because generations of social exclusion have produced generations of unequal opportunity. merit does not emerge in a vacuum. it is shaped by the school one attends, the nutrition one receives, the neighbourhood one grows up in, the discrimination one faces and the opportunities one is denied. when disadvantage itself is inherited, equality cannot be measured only at the finish line. and his story is not merely about economic hardship. it is about what decades of unequal development look like through the eyes of someone who still manages to smile. he speaks without ideology or slogans. he simply narrates life as he has lived it. and somehow, that simplicity makes his words far more powerful than any political speech.
when the interview ends, nothing really ends for mohammad irfan. the cameras leave. the headlines move on. social media finds its next outrage. but he returns to the same road, the same neighbourhood, the same uncertainty and the same struggle that his parents lived with before him.
the real tragedy is not that mohammad irfan has a story to tell. the real tragedy is that his story is so painfully ordinary. there are millions like him across this country whose names we will never know, whose lives will never become headlines, and whose children may inherit the very same struggle. not because they lack courage or hard work, but because they were born into a reality they never chose.
To think at one point I'd had hopes of change in this person. What a letdown this one has turned out to be! No shame whatsoever. No sense of time and place either. Sad
Also very interesting: the same Delhi Police that was not allowing CJP to move even 100 metres towards Parliament, allowed Rahul Gandhi to reach right outside PM Residence!
Do we need any more evidence that Congress-BJP is one unit?
