Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup…
“I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said.
"You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said.
"The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said.
"Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave?
"Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really?
"You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be.
"This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done.
"I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."
EXC 🚨: Chaos at Crystal Palace as Oliver Glasner signs Brennan Johnson, whilst Steve Parish is away on a skiing holiday.
Glasner took advantage and closed the deal whilst Parish’s phone was off, and he wasn’t checking emails, during apres ski.
Parish said to be fuming. #CPFC
Good decision I think, if true. He needs a solid foundation to re-build his reputation as a high potential coach/manager and I don’t think Rangers is that move right now.
🚨 Breaking: Steven Gerrard has decided to withdraw from contention for the Rangers role.
Gerrard has decided the timing wasn’t quite right to return and has now removed himself from the process.
Conversations were positive, and a full agreement was almost reached.
Understand both sides have agreed to leave the door open for the future.
Refork UK Kent were the DOGE flagship
@Arron_banks, @LeaderofKCC, @ZiaYusufUK, @nattyfried and Councillor Brian Collins all lined up on Kent County Hall's staircase saying this would be rolled out to all Reform UK councils.
Today they've announced they've barely found any savings and will likely raise taxes in Kent.
That's Reform UK's DOGE, a headline, a lie, a promise they could not keep.
Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years"
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
@GaryLineker Legend 👏
@StreetFightsHQ I cannot comprehend how someone can keep hitting a defenceless person who clearly isn’t trying to fight back but instead hide behind their arms to defend themselves.
Need a serious kicking themselves to see how it feels.
