@AntonyWrites It's very simply because of the short term approach to repairs. They get patched up on the cheap and come back bigger and better the following year.

It’s great to see how Saudi Arabia’s involvement with Newcastle United and LIV Golf is changing the kingdom + how much progress is being made. Can see why Jordan Henderson feels his work there is done…..

Good to see @McIlroyRory's issues with LIV are those that really matter 🤔

[NUFC Fans Against Sportswashing @NoSaudiToon]

It's difficult to understand why a LGBT #NUFC fan group would give cover to the 80% owners of the club. A regime which institutionally & brutally discriminates against gay people.

Let's hope that in 2024 this issue is clarified

Jordan Henderson can pretend all he likes that he's out there doing good, but when people like Jake Daniels express their anger at him moving to Saudi Arabia, that becomes the legacy.

Trans women are not a threat to the integrity of women’s international cricket - their talents deserve celebration, not punishment.
