It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.
Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.
Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.
Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.
The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.
Don’t think it explains everything we saw last season, but some people have completely overlooked the fact that a lot of the squad (and in particular Ibou) have just gone through the worst year of their lives.
Someone send this to @FA_PGMOL and let them tell us what kind of a job they did.
Seriously though, PL referees have to fix this next season. Gabriel alone should have had multiple red cards this season. He gets away with so much. Not only him, Arsenal as a whole got away with a lot.
I know Arsenal fans won’t like this tweet, but if they are being objective they would know that the referee luck was heavily on their side this season. If this was another club, Arsenal fans would be shouting the most right now.
From the Irish Times. Totally agree with their analysis of Arsenal as polluters and selfishly wasting everyone’s time.
Cheating and acting masquerading as tactics and culture. Sadly, the PL referees allowed it so it became a successful weapon for them.
PGMOL would have found a way to give it.
You watch the game back, and it just shows you how far suspicious Premier League refereeing really is.
Arsenal didn’t concede a single penalty in the league. Arsenal never got punished for time wasting. But both happened in the final.
Fuck the owners for that timing. Announce it last week and give him the final game and give him a nice send off.
Instead a league winning manager for Liverpool sat on the bench alone staring into the void feeling isolated.
Absolute joke.
Won us the league. Handled the Jota tragedy with immaculate humanity and connection. Just because the footy was a bit rough people were saying absolutely abhorrent things about him. Will be a legend forever and rightfully should stay on the banner on the kop
