Still don't know if it should've been a goal or not. I'll say yes... Fairplay to Villa though. They're a well drilled team. After scoring early, they had to play a totally different game to the one against Man City and still did well.

Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool, 12.30 Brighton 2-1 Burnley Man Utd 2-0 Bournemouth Sheff Utd 1-1 Brentford Wolves 2-0 Nottm Forest Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal, 17.30 Everton 1-2 Chelsea, 14.00 Fulham 2-2 West Ham, 14.00 Luton 0-3 Man City, 14.00 Tottenham 3-2 Newcastle, 16.30

The US vetoes the UN security council vote on a ceasefire. No surprise there. A ceasefire should obviously happen but it's the bare minimum. Unfortunately there will never be anywhere near a satisfactory step towards justice for the crimes Israel has committed over the decades.

Can't wait to listen to football journalists praise Postecoglu again for failing to win.

A long title reign is good if it's warranted. When they're doing it for the sake of it, it's just pointless. You'd think with them wanting to establish a new title they'd want a good title reign.

Everton would be 10th and above Chelsea right now if not for the points deduction.

Aw gee mister, thanks for being super pedantic and providing a link about wars.

Qatar has made changes to workers rights by removing the kafala system and the fact they were wanted an influx of foreigners from different countries is also a step in the right direction. Regardless of how slow it is, contact and communication between different people is what creates positive change. And you and the other poster were just talking about Saudi Arabia progressing. But now that's somehow been wiped from your memory... I guess no one should host sports tournaments because anyone capable of hosting one is run by cunts. Or we do what we do for every tournament in the west where sports is viewed separately from a country's politics but we do it for non-western countries as well. I guess being consistent isn't for everyone.

The similarities to Israel continue... Nothing will happen though. Unless you're a massively powerful nation like Russia or China, you have to be a US ally if you want to commit wars.

I like that you're now adding the US to the list. Something you didn't used to do before and something that no one in sports media that uses the term "sports washing" does, and that's one of the reasons why people shouldn't take people that use it seriously. Clear and obvious double standards. It also doesn't work as far as getting people to be okay with politics they otherwise would've disagreed with so it's pointless to cry about it. But if people are going to do it then hopefully they're at least consistent. One way "sports washing" works is actually in a positive way... Progress in countries is proven to happen when a country's trying to impress and prove themselves capable. Qatar & Saudi Arabia are good examples of that. Hooray for sports washing I guess.

Something from an under appreciated legend.

The guy has been shady for a long time. At least Suge Knight had the decency to let everyone know he was a scumbag.

Bayern Munich

21 shots to 2. Sounds like Aston Villa should be winning by more.

Or, Raya hasn't been able to make the step up and looks nervous when playing as there's a bigger spotlight on him. Neither of the mistakes yesterday had anything to do with having a pre-season with the team. It was his own goalkeeping errors.

I preferred the shit van Dijk from last season.

Raya has zero presence and fills me with no confidence. And Ramsdale's confidence has now been drained as well. Dumb move from Arteta. These "ball playing" keepers aren't worth the hassle. Man Utd and ourselves both got fucked.

So, how long are the snowballs around for?

There hasn't been much evidence for that yet. Our goalkeeping situation with Ramsdale as a clear number one was much, much better. It's an unnecessary issue that Arteta has created that hasn't worked out so far.

Most people are stupid but most people don't care about international politics to begin with. "Sports washing" means nothing to them. And to the people that care about international politics, they won't be affected by sports taking place in a country. And whether they're shaped by moronic logic or not, they'll have strong opinions which won't be swayed by sports. And as I've mentioned many times before, the fact that the term only exists for non-western countries exposes a level of xenophobia behind its use.

You're right, there's only a genocide going on. No need to be dramatic and be angry at those committing it. Silly me. Israeli supporters really do lack any type of humanity. Gets proven again and again whenever you hear one of their supporters speak. They also generally tend to be bigoted people so it's unfortunately not even surprising.

The captain thing is actually pretty stupid. This expectation that players involved in incidents will just turn off emotion and not plead their case is unrealistic. What would the punishment be for that? A booking? Soft yellows are the main reason football feels the need to come up with new and different punishments. Solution is to trial not being so trigger happy with yellow cards.

Hopefully it explodes easy and takes out every IDF terrorist near it.

On a significant scale, it doesn't work as people won't judge politics based on sports. That's simple and proven. Suggesting that there can still be a few examples of it working with dumb people doesn't undermine that. It'd be like me suggesting that you have to believe that sports washing works with every single person for you do have the opinion that sports washing works. It'd be a moronic comeback.
