@NadineCoyleVEVO @jessicaschiffer Wimbledon actually has more tennis no?

@jessicaschiffer Wimbledon felt to me like an overly posh social event just to be seen at, that happened to have tennis happening; like a Gladiator fight at the Colosseum. RG felt like a tennis tournament for tennis fans (or at least, fans of live sport). I’d go back to RG 100x before Wimbledon.

I wrote a very honest dispatch from my three weeks at Wimbledon—filled with highs, lows, and hard-earned lessons. It was the best of times and worst of times wrapped into one, but in the end, I came away more certain than ever that I belong in a sport that's still learning how to let new people in. 🔗 ⬇️

@Naz1672923 @jamesafinneran @football_pb Yeh and we aren’t cheating thanks for the history lesson. Enjoy your forced sale lol.

@cjayjay49 @jamesafinneran @football_pb Arsenal have £259 million in interest-free shareholder loans from owner Stan Kroenke. Manchester City legally challenged the Premier League arguing violate Fair Market Value rules. and a tribunal ruled in City's favour. Shareholder loans must now be integrated into APT rules.

115 charges outstanding and £215m on two CMs in a few weeks for Manchester City.

@Naz1672923 @jamesafinneran @football_pb Thanks russian bot

@cjayjay49 @jamesafinneran @football_pb APT hearing determined that Arsenal were cheating and the PL has had to re-write their own rules.

@FootyfanRoberto @AFL @CalTwomey Yeh the 3 first round picks (which you’re now begging the afl for) were worthless

@cjayjay49 @AFL @CalTwomey Henry Hus wait

Essendon has proposed Tasmania not be able to bid on tied prospects such as father-son prospect Koby Bewick next year as part of its assistance package discussions with the AFL. @CalTwomey has the details: afl.com.au/news/1561101

@tetanyahu_lover @joe_paras @themagic_tophat @HandofArsenal Bruno will be a few weeks away regardless

@joe_paras @themagic_tophat @HandofArsenal Rice no pre season?

Arsenal Football Club will soon announce the farewell of their Premier League Champion Leandro Trossard. It also seems the fanbase are not dealing with the noise of the transfer window well. I will aim to post somewhat of an update on where we are with some deals.

@FootyfanRoberto @AFL @CalTwomey More like essendon looking for handouts than them helping anyone

@AFL @CalTwomey So Essendon helps fund the league including this new team and yet the new team can drag them down further? Makes sense

@themagic_tophat @AfcdLife Why does the spending help them re positioning themselves for a forced sale?

@AfcdLife No. I think they’re preparing for a forced sale. But that’s just an educated guess. Not convinced of that.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟭𝟭𝟱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? I know a certain commentator on the case (who claims insider knowledge) asserts there’s been no decision as of 2 weeks ago. But I very much doubt an initial decision is still pending - I believe it’s been issued to parties. There’s no reason why we would hear if it had. Initial decisions have never been published or leaked prior to the Final Award before. Why do I think it’s been issued? Because it’s been more than 19 months since the hearing concluded. A delay as long as 19 months for an initial decision on liability would put the integrity of the decision at risk and would raise questions over the arbitrators’ intentions (did they delay on purpose to damage it). I just can’t see them having done that. For context, NatWest Markets plc v Bilta (UK) Ltd [2021] was ordered a retrial when its decision was still waiting after 19 months at the High Court. The Master of Rolls at the Court of Appeal absolutely blasted the delay. He said decisions like these should need a good reason to take over 3 months in the courts and if they do, they get closely monitored. For it to take this long in private arbitration when there’s a requirement in the rules for a decision as soon as practicable… and the arbitrators have been working on other cases… totally inexcusable if it weren’t already out. Career enders for the arbitrators. A hearing on sanctions and final award should be quick too. So no excuses. Only 3 possibilities I see: 1) Initial decision was already issued to parties and a Final Award is coming imminently. Before the season starts. 2) They have the Final Award already but they’re waiting for the end of the World Cup before publishing it (they shouldn’t do this and it could even open themselves up to damages if this were the case) 3) City launched an appeal after the decision on liability was issued but before the hearing on sanctions, thereby delaying a Final Award Number 3) would be novel (i.e., never done before) but the rules do not explicitly prohibit it. I’ve hypothesised it as a possibility for a while. If so, we might not hear anything until 2027. The longer it goes without a Final Award, the more likely I believe that’s what’s happened.

@chilisummer @IzMogUgla He certainly isnt. He did 1 HoF foundation event for free thats it.

@IzMogUgla He is paid to watch, if he isn't paid, he doesn't watch

I found it interesting that Roger chose to stay home instead of attending Sinner’s matches at Wimbledon, especially the final. He was practicing at Wimbledon only 10 hours before, but didn’t stay for the championship match. Maybe it’s intentional or maybe a coincidence but still odd imo.

@jamesafinneran @football_pb Lmao they’re cheating

@football_pb Fair play to them spending to compete …. Up to Arsenal to do the same no excuses of no money now highest revenue return in clubs history ……

@CasfredA @MoArsenal86 Theyre cheating tho lmao

@MoArsenal86 We either match up or shut up . If a player wants city and city wants the player they get him. If a player wants Arsenal and Arsenal wan to the player we just go around like headless chicken. Regardless of how corrupt city are they show ambition. Theyre a serious club unlike us

@katsuxbt “Car house for mom living $4m” 💀💀 gotta get that down to $900k max

Odell Beckham Jr. reveals the real math on a $100,000,000 NFL contract: • On paper → $100,000,000 • Actually guaranteed → $60,000,000 • After taxes → $12,000,000/yr • Car, house for mom, living → $4,000,000/yr • What’s left → $8,000,000/yr • Five years. Then it’s over. Forever “Can you make that last forever?”

@browncharley23 @PatrickRyen Gc compo. Lewis and scrimshaw the ones that’ll be make may. Plenty of capital.

@PatrickRyen Still see you Essendon folk are deluded in thinking Merrett is worth anything other than a couple of 2nd round picks. There is no way that you'll be getting Dear as the family connection is too strong. As for King would the GC match the bid or simply take the compensation?

Ben King wants to get to Hawthorn. This has ramifications for Zach Merrett and multiple players right throughout the competition. “The flow-on effect is significant. This effects Calsher Dear, Mitch Lewis, Zach Merrett and Bailey Humphrey. What Ben King decides to do is massive." Via @tommorris32 ❤️🖤👊 #godons #essendonfc @essendonfc sen.com.au/news/2026/07/1…

@hawthornzone Freo 75% 🤣 are they essendon 2000

@industryto @christophclarey He was dominating this Lee fraud before he hurt his knee

@christophclarey Why was Cruz getting this type of hype last week?

16-year-old American Jordan Lee, the youngest player in the field, wins the #Wimbledon boys title 4-6 6-4 7-5 over 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt Lee, who got through qualifying, comes back from a break down in the 3d to defeat Hewitt, the son of former #Wimbledon champ Lleyton Hewitt, who was watching from the stands on Court Number 1 "Very few people know what I've been through this last. year and a half with a lot of injuries," Lee said. "A year ago, I was sitting home on the couch not knowing if I would play tennis again, so I'm really happy to be here." #getty

@theWAGproject Who cares?

it always pisses me off that they only can to show up for the men’s final 🫩

@Crobbo309 @BradKlibansky One person having fun and another being miserable but whatever makes you happy

@cjayjay49 @BradKlibansky Same joke twice in an hour from Brad. Ok, cool. I’m glad I now know I’m not allowed to reply to 2 posts on the same subject going forward.

You’ll be free soon, Zach! #AFLLionsDons

@Crobbo309 @BradKlibansky You made the zach comparison twice for some reason. Brads just having fun.

@cjayjay49 @BradKlibansky Just replying to 2 different posts on the same topic. Do I have a complex or does Brad?

@Crobbo309 @BradKlibansky Geez you have a complex

@BradKlibansky If you are keen on a bloke who has given up, you can have him. Compare his season to Zac Butters, says alot about them both. Butters is a class act.

@Crobbo309 @BradKlibansky Butters in a better team who has already had much more relative success recently and been there an awful lot less than zach kinda key differences

@BradKlibansky Compare what he is doing to Butters, both who are leaving, he is burning credits rapidly. Butters class act. Merrett has thrown the towel in, you guys can have him.

Zach Merrett in 2027 #AFLLionsDons

@LastbornOyeniyi @Wimbledon Dunno who he is hitting it with that made the ball come so deep to him but the footwork definitely looked a touch behind his level at his Aus Open exhibition

@Wimbledon he doesn't have that grass touch anymore

Roger Federer hitting up at #Wimbledon again in all its glory 🥰
