Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester City’s owners get away with so much? Two midweek matches in England had a backdrop of war and geopolitics, but only one drew large protests

Beyond Man City, other clubs which profit directly from emirati patronage should ask themselves some inconvenient questions; and if they do not of their own accord, we fans should be pressuring them into doing so. These other clubs very much include Arsenal FC.

I do think the 5 subs rule sucks. I’d rather less games and 3 subs

Imagine if the political class were as united on ending child poverty as they are in defending the right of hooligans to attack British citizens while walking to a football match.

This is absurd. If supporters of an English football club went to another country, committed violent hate crimes and public order offences, and the police in a subsequent country decided they couldn't be doing with it, the Prime Minister and the Leader Of The Opposition would not be caping for them.

YouTube video by talkSPORT "APPALLING STANCE!" Simon Jordan rages at "COWARD" Gary Neville after Union Jack REMOVAL admission!

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Yes why does a country with extreme poverty and regularly getting bombed not have the will power or resources to overthrow their government. It is a mystery

The last Israeli PM who was pro it was assassinated by his own people

The problem which is the existence of Palestinians? And committing genocide. An evil man, the head of an evil government. And considering how Israel act to a moderate Palestinian government, the West Bank, no matter what the Palestinians did. A two state solution was never truly going to happen.

Also Israel still occupies Gaza

They have had moderate voices sidelined. Also if Israel was so interested in peace they wouldn’t have helped fund Hamas over the last decade

The last election in Gaza was 18 years ago. So considering the median age of Gaza in 2023 about 8-12% vote of the then population voted for Hamas. Who at the time presented themselves as a more moderate organisation. So this statement and comparison from yourself is just nonsense

That just really isn’t true. We did compete in other seasons but key injuries stopped us in 09/10, 10/11 and 13/14

Fact is you’re slamming a group of people who have been abused for 75 years by a proxy western state and blame some of them for not being pro co-existence with genociders. Just fucking nonsense. They should have a state. One that isn’t separated and at the mercy of Zionists

A state that is much smaller than the one they had before Israel came in and committed ethnic cleansing. And the Israeli β€˜s constantly break any kind of peace talks by bombing the West Bank, Gaza and taking illegal land grabs. I would trust them either if I was Palestinian

How can they do this while occupied and why do you think they have so much anger against their occupiers?

Yeah it did feel like you were just dropped in. And that did mean a slow first third. Had TFA vibes to me in trying to rectify the wrongs of the previous movies and getting the vibes and feeling you get watching a franchise you loved

Yeah it was like Rami in that it felt like a comic book come to life. Had a blast watching it and yeah loved the commentary. Gunn likes doing that. Did the same in The Suicide Squad
