Radio 4 cutting the news at midnight is the end of the world as far as I am concerned. I live for those chimes at midnight and the measured summing up of the day. Killing Radio 4 in pursuit of some digital dream is deranged
Someone with better Chelsea data than my own got in touch today to inform me that my earlier estimate of Chelsea’s financial chasm was wrong. I had undercooked it. With their help, we determined it to be €275-350m (post Cucu sale).
This must be generated from player sale profits and cost-shedding before July 2027. Realistically, they aren’t avoiding a breach. That means no European football in 2027/28 either.
Their brand value is in the bin, they’re haemorrhaging cash, their squad’s market value is less than its net book value, many toxic assets are on 6-7 year contracts, they’ve stripped the club of its infra assets and its ground has dumpy Travelodge energy.
Spurs have way better medium-term prospects than Chelsea.
Turns out, the PL didn’t need to sanction Chelsea for its historic cheating. Blueco ownership is punishment enough. That club is finished.
The cuts just announced at the BBC are, as expected, a decimation of its journalistic output. That's what happens when government refuses to allow it to be funded in order to preserve programmes and talented and experienced staff. Great news though for liars and propaganda channels
Uefa coaches analysed & praised Arsenal defending in the #UCL final. “This led to a collective call for a renewed focus on prioritising defending in youth development – especially at a time of outstanding speed, physicality, technique and tactics on the attacking side.” 1/2
Pep Guardiola said that this was the toughest Premier League he has experienced. Slot echoed that. The floor of the league is so high West Ham were relegated on 39 points and three England clubs are in European cup finals. Don’t let anyone discredit this.
The arc of Martin Keown turning more and more aggressive towards all pundits and talk show hosts over the past 3 months in defending the badge with awkward intense eye contact and his serious tone has been lowkey one of my favourite things to experience. My defender. Hero.
I can’t describe my feelings right now… Football always gives back to those who keep believing.. To the fans who kept believing, you deserve this… Arsenal; the club that will stay in my heart forever, you deserve this… The players and everyone at the club who made it happen, you deserve this… Congratulations to the best club in the world ❤️ @Arsenal
With this title, Arsenal join Liverpool as the only English clubs to have been top flight champions in eight different decades. Man United and Everton are next on the list with titles in seven different decades. That's what it looks like to have a history.
An uncannliy accurate and emotional tribute to the late, great, gay immigrant legend, Freddie Mercury, at Tommy Robinson's Unite The Kingdom rally. Watch 'til the end with volume on!
Lol, these clowns. 😆
Led by Donkeys projected a big screen with the message “immigration makes Britain brilliant” at Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom march in London on Saturday (16 May).
