The fact Elsevier were anywhere near this should have set the alarm bells ringing…

The more I think about this whole Vinicius Jr thing, the more angry I get.

For a start, instead of talking about his frankly incredible match-winning goal, we’re instead talking about the fact he’s been racially abused whilst at work.

It's vile that Mark Clattenburg still hasn't apologized for blaming Vinicius for his own racist abuse. Amazon Prime hasn't put out a statement distancing themselves from his on-air comments either.

As for Mourinho, I doubt there's anyone in Benfica's hierarchy that can force an apology out of him.

Screenshot of 3 text messages sent to the BBC Sport page:

Everyone comments when they have not heard what was said. Mourinho was merely stating Vin Jr there is always drama and
he is correct.
Johan, Southampton Right now, it's a 'he said"'she said' kinda situation, until it's been thoroughly investigated, there should be no lighting of the torches and arming of the pitchforks, there needs to calm
and not kneejerk reactionary behaviour.
Will B, Newcastle People need to wait until the facts are known. Right now we have two players saying different things and we don't know which one is telling the truth. Prestianni has denied the claims
so let's see if he is telling the truth before condemning him.

Predictable to see texts like this being β€˜randomly’ selected by the BBC. Classic β€œwell we’ll never know” and β€œbest let this blow over” BS. Racism is everywhere but CL reminds me in Europe it’s open and proud. Clattenburg should simply be sacked, he’s fucking awful at the best of times. Genuine prick

Sorry, but this is super gross.

Students begin Covid compensation claim against 36 more universities It comes after University College London settled a claim from students there over lost learning in the pandemic.

This is emblematic of the consumer culture that fees have engendered.

What the hell did the students expect? It was a ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC. There were LAWS against congregating in public. Staff worked themselves to the bone to get online delivery working.
