@CafcFacts Must be the first Addick to represent Scotland at the World Cup Finals since John Hewie missed a penalty in 1958.

@BBCNews I recall that ITV called their highlights show "Sunday Soccer" but we didn't like it in my school because it was the sort of word used by those nauseating young toffs, The Famous Five. Now we like it even less because we don't like Trump.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@FightingAnne1 @LibDems Proportional Representation would do it.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@LibDems Yes, to be well avoided. Especially as there's a risk of another Tory government as well.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@SEANROBBO75 @BBCMOTD Should have been plus red card.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@haynesdeborah Why are MPs not at work? It is not a bank holiday. Cancel the day off is the obvious thing to do.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@Haggis_UK I have a poor view of both these politicians, but to be fair, the suspect was unlikely to have been identified as a monster then, but a refugee fleeing from peril. We need to know his story fully before making a judgment on treatment and policy.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@BBCNews I strongly oppose. I often ask, "If this were fair, what would the numbers look like?" I fear that Badenoch and other politicians, especially on the right, are too innumerate.

The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.

But the USA still refuses to let him in.

The USA need to be disqualified

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@BladeoftheS If watching a training session gets a team disqualified, what's the punishment for nobbling a ref?
I would ban the USA for calling football "suckerr"

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@BBCMOTD Too hot to play football. Time for a refreshing shower and a cold beer 🍺

@MindGardner @Channel4News When my wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year, she was immediately discharged by the memory clinic. Ridiculous, that is where the expertise lies. The GP cares but takes a largely no cure, no treatment approach. We get most help from Alzheimer's Society and Age Concern.

@nytimes @TheAthletic Such bottles have been banned at The Valley and UK football stadiums for donkey's ears. The flatfeet say they are dangerous weapons. If you buy water inside the ground, it will cost a week's wages and the vendor will remove the cap. So what's the fuss? #cafc

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@Channel4News Is there an economist that has a positive position on #BrexitShambles? I have not stumbled across one.

I am not sure Farage and Johnson lied. I think they believed their own nonsense, which is why the black hole in government finance appeared.

But they were very wrong.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@SouthamptonFC I couldn't understand how a strong Charlton defence conceded 4 goals in 8 minutes, and then a 5th against Southampton last November. Obviously, there are enough bushes at Sparrows Lane in which to hide. #cafc

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@_ben_gs And the kick-off time has been changed to suit the telly.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@SkySportsNews So much fuss. It's only Arsenal, coming second in a competition Charlton Athletic did not even bother to enter.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I agree calling opponents stupid will not win the argument. However, when they are clearly stupid, what do you call them? For example, many in Reform and the Tories (and some in other parties, to be fair) have a weak understanding of economics and are hopeless at maths.

[Michael Hudson @mghudson]

@CafcFacts Very sad. Murray seemed to be an great chairman up to this appointment. Dowie's tactics were for his journeymen to get the ball to Andrew Johnson, who was blinking good and could make a shot out of nothing. Without Johnson in the Addicks squad, Dowie was hopeless. #cafc
