Football’s converging moral panics hold up a mirror to our fractured world | Jonathan Liew From grappling at corners to VAR, the endless list of complaints reflects a wider sense of dislocation from ‘the product’ A terrible boredom stalks the land. Across the nation’s television studios and podcast armchairs, wearied men grizzle accursedly with forked tongues into branded microphones: entombed by a game they despise and yet are paid so generously to discuss. Out there in the wild digital beyond, the sickness festers still deeper. The game has gone, they type into a little white box. This is not the football I once loved, click send. The beautiful game is broken, pleads the Telegraph. They think it’s all over, and perhaps it always was. Arne Slot is no longer enjoying himself, and presumably a good proportion of the Liverpool fans at Molineux on Tuesday night know exactly how he feels. John Terry is no longer enjoying himself. Yaya Touré is “disappointed”. Ruud Gullit is so disgusted he has decided to stop watching. Chris Sutton thinks Arsenal will be the ugliest winners in Premier League history. Mark Goldbridge is bored out of his mind, albeit nowhere near as bored as you would presumably need to be to watch a Mark Goldbridge livestream. Continue reading...

the “Hundred Years Idiocy”

we are living at the single stupidest point in human history

ah ok. stilton sounds like shilton. got it

sorry but no way is Parmesan a starting no9 at this level. not versatile enough, impact sub at best

Absolutely bang on by @jonathanliew.bsky.social

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

🎯

just flicked onto gb news to see how they’re covering the by-election

van gerwen v price one of those rivalries that is never, ever shit

Noni Madueke backs Arsenal’s push to tackle knife crime: ‘It’s so important to try to share the community’s pain’ England forward was among Arsenal heroes in attendance at event commemorating fan who was stabbed to death

noni madueke does seem like a real top top lad

obviously i had to look up what a patronus was, and now wish i hadn't

Excellent introduction by Andy Hunter to his report from Hill Dickinson Stadium for @sport.theguardian.com last night. 🧑🏾‍🍳💋

where is HMRC of Football Podcasts when you need him, I am 100% certain this didn't happen

little known fact, but if you say eusebio’s name three times to defend yourself against racism, he re-enters the living world, walks over and hands you a history book

Matt Goodwin is running: the search for Reform’s elusive byelection candidate Nigel Farage’s man in Gorton and Denton has a huge public platform, and a taste for culture war. What happens when he concerns himself with bin collections?

Slightly buried in this excellent piece is the fact that Goodwin shares Stephen Miller’s love of the US 1924 Immigration Act - the one admired by Hitler and the reason why so many Jewish refugees (including Anne Frank’s family) were turned away

spent a couple of weeks in manchester on the trail of matt goodwin. why has nobody seen him? how do you fight a politics that lots of people absentmindedly agree with? and - you know - does he secretly want to remigrate me?

I would say a very fair point about the media in general, and a very cheap shot at The Guardian, which has gone out of its way to inform people of the dangers of the far-right and what they really mean and represent, often risking huge legal repercussions in doing so

declan rice is one of those rare players who gets worse with confidence. the key is to deflate him at every opportunity. do not believe in yourself, bro. you cannot do anything you set your mind to. leave his tyres unpumped. make him feel like zero dollars.

in France they call it “le crocodile”. once more English football disgraces itself
