🚨 Rio Ferdinand on João Neves reportedly saying Cristiano Ronaldo is just an ordinary player like the rest of the Portugal squad:
🗣️ "I'm not sure João fully understands what greatness looks like.
Most of the legends of this game retired in their mid-30s, yet he's had the privilege of sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo at 41.
That alone should tell him something about the level we're talking about.
Millions of players would have dreamed of playing alongside Cristiano.
If Ronaldo had retired at 35 like most great players, João Neves would never have had that opportunity. His longevity has allowed a whole new generation to witness greatness up close.
Cristiano was dominating European football long before many of these young players even thought about becoming professionals.
To describe him as just another ordinary player is something I simply can't agree with.
I think João should show a little more respect for everything Cristiano has achieved in the game."
When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".
But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.
Clown country.
Problem with sanctioned celebrations of ‘Englishness’ is ‘The English’ being reduced to neutered folkish ewok hobbit indigenous jubjublanders and so to ‘just another ethnic group.’ Actually the most unique and provocative thing about ‘The English’ was their creation of modernity
Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” after seeing the scene where Connor MacLeod watches his wife grow old while he remains unchanged in HIGHLANDER (1986). That heartbreak became one of Queen’s greatest songs.
❤️🇿🇦 The entire South African national team lined up to take pictures and sign the jersey of the ONLY kid who showed up to visit them at their hotel in Pachuca.
They also signed his World Cup album and the coach gifted him the South Africa jersey. 🏆👏🏼
Yes, and the real truth bomb is that there was no “race-blind social cohesion.” Not really, as the OJ Simpson trial showed. All the racial resentment was just waiting to come out.
These women are more guilty than the officers who attended the murder scene.
Putting all the blame on the officers for doing what they were told is passing the buck.
DEI and Woke are evil and cause real harm
We all laughed at this, but it stops being funny when you realise the institutions will let him bleed to death in handcuffs rather than offend a brown man.
🇬🇧 Every British river. 🌊🇬🇧
Has a name older than English. Older than Rome. You still say it.
The Thames. The Romans wrote it as Tamesis. But the name they wrote was already old when they arrived.
A pre-Celtic name passed to the Celts, passed to Rome, passed to us. The name has changed only in the shape of the sound.
The Severn. The Welsh called her Sabrina. A river goddess in the Brittonic tongue. And the Severn still carries her name today.
🏞️ The Trent. The Celts called it Trisanton. A name meaning the trespasser. The river that bursts its banks. And it still bursts its banks.
The Avon. The word means river. The Britons called every river the Avon. The English kept the name.
The Tyne. A Brittonic name meaning the flowing one. The Dee. A name meaning the goddess, the holy one. The Britons named her sacred and the English left her sacred.
The Anglo-Saxons came. They renamed villages. They renamed hills. They renamed almost everything they could. But they did not rename the rivers.
The rivers were too holy. The names were too rooted.
And so the Brittonic words stayed in English mouths.
The Britons did not vanish. Their words did not vanish. Their descendants became the British. And the British still name the river the same way. Every time.
🇬🇧 British people speak a language older than English. Every day. Without noticing. The Britons named the water. The British still call it the same.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The river names are not relics.
The villages changed names. The rivers kept theirs.
