🚨Special Report

I've always had a question: How rich do you need to be to play cricket?

IPL/WPL make us believe it's inclusive, but after weeks of research and interviews, I find the walls are rapidly closing down on most of India.

Read below 👇🏽 or save it for the weekend!

@scottjwillis He looks like a rhythm player - all his weaker qualities shine bright when he hasn't had much game time and his strong qualities take a few matches to get going. And he'd still be an awkward fit, as he has always been. I just hope we don't tank his value completely!

@lordrizvi @themagic_tophat @afckzfm @Ole_is_right I was having a good faith discussion, pretty clear this Magic Hat person doesn't like that. That's okay. I enjoyed reading some of his Arsenal stuff and just assumed he would engage in a rationale discussion. Thanks for blocking me my friend!

@themagic_tophat @afckzfm @Ole_is_right I strongly disagree with the notion that if you do not express explicit concern for every injustice, then you are insincere about the one you are expressing concern about.

[Vivek Arulnathan @gunnerviv]

@themagic_tophat @afckzfm @Ole_is_right I am struggling to find anything beyond his unacceptable 2014 incident that he has apologized for that can be construed as being antisemitic. I haven't found anything so far to suggest he is being insincere. I will continue to search but if you do have the evidence, please share

@gauravsabnis My advisor let me keep a nice Sony noise cancelling headphones when I went to return it on my last day! He had bought a few with grant money so that we could have our office windows open, which faced a courtyard that had high foot-traffic and hosted student events.

@themagic_tophat @Ole_is_right *While I don't sagree with everything in this...

While I don't disagree with everything in this, it largely reflects what I feel on the issue so far. This in particular: "But without more evidence (and one idiotic act in 2014 is not that), we owe it to...reflect on what is really being said."

[Vivek Arulnathan @gunnerviv]

@themagic_tophat @Ole_is_right I will continue to dig into this so I can form an informed opinion but this in isolation is barely problematic. https://t.co/hl37klYssD

@themagic_tophat @Ole_is_right From the little I know, saying Dua Lipa face no backlash is not true - there definitely has been backlash against her in the past. And my research over the last hour or so paints a more complex picture of Macklemore than what you describe - its not the full story of course!

@fkhanage How does one show that they are a £68 million player?

@gauravsabnis As a sustainable food systems researcher, what grates me is seeing these zealots using the environmental and animal welfare arguments to justify their arguments to enforce caste-based food choices. Of course they conveniently ignore dairy!

@GunnersTown @mike_mmcdonald @mike_mmcdonald I hadn't read your blog since May due to life circumstances but just finished a marathon reading of all your blogs since the title win. Fantastic as always! Thank you for writing regularly - I know its not easy. Hope you continue writing for a long time 🙏

@goonerdave66 @RohanJivanAFC Trossard came central quite a lot - similar to Tzolis this season. My personal take is that given the positional discipline Arteta demands, I just think players default to more rigid structures when team is under pressure or they are low on confidence personally.

[Vivek Arulnathan @gunnerviv]

@comrade_kumar_ And why is this even a story? People sell houses all the time for more than what they bought it for.

[Vivek Arulnathan @gunnerviv]

@RohanJivanAFC Also worth pointing out that Berta was Arteta's choice as Legrove correctly pointed out. If Berta is to blame for some of our failings, Arteta has a part in that too.
