@AlasdairGold If paying £52m for an established international with PL experience is having "our pants pulled down", what is £50m for a player with no PL experience and one decent season in an inferior league?
Lest we forget: When a Reform councillor shared a post saying Labour MP Natalie Fleet “should be shot”, Farage refused to condemn it or sack him at PMQs.
Starmer called for basic decency, Farage deflected to the Chagos Islands and reportedly mouthed “No I won’t”.
Now Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf and the rest scream like they own the moral high ground on threats and standards?
The double standards are shameless.
Donald Trump says if Iran assassinate him thousands of missiles will be launched.
I think the word he’s looking for there is ‘fireworks’, thousands of fireworks would be launched.

🚨Zinedine Zidane on Jude Bellingham after his performance against Norway:
“People keep comparing Jude to me, to Kaká, to the great midfielders of the past. I don’t see it that way. Jude is creating his own story. What makes him special isn’t just his technique or his physical strength, it’s his intelligence, his mentality, his timing, and his desire to win. Players like him don’t follow history… they make it.”
If there was an actual country called Haa Land, it'd be full of love, laughter, kindness, equality & we'd all move there immediately. Boys, forget the vicious, malicious, teeny-penied Andrew Tate - THIS is your role model. #Haaland#WorldCup
😂 Tras quedar eliminados del Mundial, unos hinchas noruegos fueron captados “remando” sobre el carrusel de equipajes de un aeropuerto.
Se van del torneo, pero dejan una de las aficiones más coloridas y divertidas
David Beckham on Djed Spence:
🗣️ Reporter: “What has impressed you most about Djed Spence in this World Cup?”
🗣️ Beckham:
“Because he’s stopped trying to prove he belongs. Now he plays like he knows he does.
Young full-backs think football is about beating a winger every time they get the ball. Djed thinks about timing.
Watch him when he receives possession. Most full-backs see a defender closing them down. Djed sees the space behind the press… takes one positive touch… drives into it… and suddenly England are thirty yards further up the pitch.
People only notice the dribble. I notice the decision before it. That’s the difference.
He’s no longer playing like a talented full-back trying to impress people. He’s playing like someone who understands exactly what his team needs in every moment. That’s not the mindset of an inexperienced player. That’s the mindset of someone who has matured into an international footballer.”
