  1. I don't care what they've done to be honest mate. Every day now is PSR, PSR, PSR. Almost daily reminders that this is the new football. Accountants, lawyers, yawn, yawn, yawn. I think the Premier League have shown beyond all doubt this season that they're in no position whatsoever to be pretending they can implement these financial rules. I can see where this is going now. Nobody likes VAR but it gives everyone something to talk about and, most importantly of all, it gets clicks. The more VAR drama, the better, because it gets people on social media shouting about "the worst decision they've ever seen" and more people are talking about the Premier League. It's going to be the same with PSR. Let's find another way we can introduce financial charges to a club so everyone can keep talking about points deductions and appeals and how stupid the rules are because the only thing worse than people slating the Premier League is people not talking about the Premier League at all. I'm sure Leicester have a case to answer just like Everton and Forest did but you can see how the coverage has changed since Everton initially got the 10 point deduction. Things that would have been dealt with behind closed doors are now a spectacle that has to be played out in public over the course of several months, several meetings, and rounded off with a few journalists leaking the result before it's published accompanied by a bunch of emojis. I'm convinced it's all deliberate. All this "Forest are expecting a decision on Monday or Tuesday at the latest and maybe Sunday" is deliberately designed to get people spending three days refreshing their social media pages and searching for information. It's telling now that the national journalists have increasingly started tweeting out minor updates that would have been a footnote in an obscure article in the past. It's all about the buzz. Football is so fucked, man. If the Premier League want to be viewed as a credible enforcer of these rules then they'll start making a dent in Man City's 115 charges instead of going after a team that's already been relegated from their league. Low-hanging fruit. Of course 115 charges are more complicated but that's all the more reason to get started ffs.

  2. This would be hilarious. Radcliffe isn’t one of these “gotta be br’ish” types is he? They’ll end up with Steve Bruce at the helm.

  4. Just highlights the sheer incompetence of the Premiership really. How can you put rules in and not know what to do if said rule is broken?

  7. Less time. The camps and atrocities had happened but the ‘final solution’, of calculated mass executions didn’t start until the end of 1941, and most of the murder happening in the follow year. Isn’t that insane? To kill four million humans in a year they were executing a minimum of 11,000 people a day. That’s horrifying. These numbers don’t even include the ten million non-Jewish to be murdered.

  8. If we are talking about the true meaning of 'Nazi', then yes, it is absurd to call a Jew a Nazi. However, if we are talking about acts of evil, then the State of Israel is up there with other brutal regimes of the past. They have killed 30,000 Gazans in the space of 5 months, most of whom are innocent women and children. Hamas are equally evil with the barbaric acts that they have committed, but even they haven't killed 10% of the number of people Israel has killed in recent months. The biggest problem with the Israel-Palestine issue is that there are too many extremists on both sides. These particular people fully believe that their hate for the other is justified and it's their own religious beliefs that cements this notion in their minds.

  9. I don’t think anyone can claim there wasn’t a peep about the US wars in the Middle East. I wasn’t in the US at the time but I do remember that anti-war demonstrations popped up all over Europe. And I think Iraq and GWB put a permanent stain on the US’s reputation they’ve never managed to wash off. And again, US politicians even warned Israel right after the attack: don’t make the same mistake we did in Iraq (and the US had less reason to attack Iraq than Israel had to attack Gaza). But it fell on deaf ears because making this war as drawn out as possible is keeping Netanyahu out of court. It’s just bad leadership from someone who views Palestinian life as something to play with when given the opportunity. Honestly I think calling them “Nazi Israel” is sort of stupid - it really cheapens the enormity of what the Nazis did when they systematically eliminated people. In what, 6-8 years the Nazis came very close to eliminating all Jews from Europe. Israel’s been in power for decades, they aren’t systematically erasing Palestinians from the world in camps (like China is doing with the Uyghurs). It’s a different kind of oppression. Imo they’re closest compared to both Apartheid South Africa (because it’s hard to claim Israel isn’t an apartheid state) & the US when it did slow genocide of the native population, moving them away from their historical lands into smaller and smaller reservations. Still evil, but a different kind of evil to the Nazis.

  10. Does anyone else find it absolutely mad that, considering what Jews went through in world war 2, that there can even be such a thing as 'Nazi Israel'!?
