Farewell to one of England’s greats in Kevin Keegan 🏴
Clip from 1979 when Mrs Thatcher invited him to take part in a Euro rally while playing for Hamburg.
He refused - arguing that his dad, a miner - would kill him. He said he would have done it for Jim Callaghan though…

Started telling the players a day in advance that they’re in my list of Manchester United’s greatest players for @TheAthleticFC
Just received this back from number 18, published tomorrow after I’ve spoken to more who played with him.
Nigel Farage is the epitome of the establishment.
He makes millions at the expense of the poorest, while blaming the most vulnerable to protect his wealth and power.
We cannot afford a society that feeds the expensive ego of Nigel Farage. Clacton deserves better.
I cannot believe we have got to the point where a ball lightly touching the tips of someone’s hair is being measured by a Snickometer in order to disallow a goal.
The ball’s trajectory and spin were not affected at all.
The offside law was created to stop goal-hanging - it was never intended to be an exact science.
It was never created so that one day artificial intelligence could measure toenails offside and use a snicko to check if someone’s touched a ball.
It was created to stop strikers from man-marking goalkeepers all game.
VAR was meant to be reserved for clear and obvious decisions.
We used to understand that football is better and more entertaining when goals are scored.
That meant that for offsides: in case of doubt, the benefit was given to the attacker while in-line was always onside.
Now we’re using 3D generated AI technology to check toes to the millimetre and extreme microphones to measure minuscule decibels with the aim of disallowing goals and ruining football as a spectacle.
Do they ever ask if we want these changes, do they market test any of it?
What an extra time awaited us for the #Portugal v #Croatia game, unfortunately we will never get to see it thanks to the madness that VAR has descended into.
City bidding £120mil for a player Newcastle had to sell to comply with FFP while still having not had a single punishment for 115 charges. On the day Everton are punished yet again for one overpayment that only occurred because of the War in Ukraine. Football has become a farce
Every World Cup referee should be asking themselves one question:
If we won't stand up for one of our own when he's refused entry, what exactly do we stand for?
Collectively, referees could bring the World Cup to a halt tomorrow. Instead, silence.
Eternal shame on them.
👏 🇬🇧 Zeteo UK is here to disrupt Britain’s broken media! We’ll be bringing fearless, independent journalism to the UK - no bowing to political pressure, no corporate interests, just fearless journalism.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Dear the BBC Politics.
I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.
He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.
Very sad to hear that @WhisperingBob is hanging up his mic. His dulcet tones have been a constant over the years
Both Lou and I are grateful for the support he has given us over the years.
Rest up Bob, thanks for you service. This one’s for you. https://t.co/VfawEYzKMH
If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.
