When the BBC interviews someone as well-informed
and intelligent as Douglas Murray, they should find someone well-informed and intelligent to do it
Not some clown like this
He is very stupid
But perhaps the BBC hadn't noticed
Kosher@koshercockney
This is a must listen and a must share. Seriously. The BBC at its very worst. And this isn’t even @DouglasKMurray at his very best, yet he’s utterly brilliant.

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Virgil van Dijk’s display in the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City.
“People are going to get emotional about this, but I don’t care, Virgil van Dijk is living off a reputation he built years ago. Tonight exposed it. When Manchester City turned up the intensity, he didn’t look like a leader… he looked like a liability.
We keep hearing ‘world-class, world-class’ based on what? Aura? Because I didn’t see dominance, I saw hesitation. I saw a defender who doesn’t want to get exposed 1v1 anymore. The real top defenders embrace those moments, they don’t hide behind the system.
And let’s be honest, if his name wasn’t Van Dijk, we’d be having a very different conversation right now. At Liverpool FC, that standard should be ruthless. But somehow, he keeps getting protected while others get blamed.
For me? That performance wasn’t elite. It wasn’t even good. It was average… and average doesn’t win you big games.”

🗣️ | Zlatan Ibrahimović:
“I’m not surprised by what Arsenal F.C. have become — I’ll be surprised if they don’t win the league.
I once sat down with Mikel Arteta for 30 minutes, and I realised something — Arsenal have gold in that club. His thinking is on another level.
Be ready… they are winning the league. Maybe this season, maybe next — but it’s coming.
The real question is: who is prepared to stop them over the next few years?” 🔴⚪️🔥

x.com/gyo14keres/sta… Most of the Sweden team went for an after party after qualifying for the world cup.
Gyökeres didn't. He returned on the first plane back to London.
Couple this with all the sacrifices he made to come here. Giving up money to chase 1 last chance at a legacy
These are the guys that succeed no matter what
Compare this attitude to Saka who is busy promoting nando sauce when they've been shit all season. Or doing podcasts with Rio Ferdinand like Jesus in the middle of a title race.
One clearly has his priorities straight. Does everyone else?

DECLAN RICE: “Durante mucho tiempo, fui el niño del cuerpo raro. Piernas largas, espalda encorvada, torpe al correr. A los 14 años, soñaba con jugar al fútbol profesional pero parecía un chiste. Me rechazaron del Chelsea. Ni en sus equipos menores me quisieron. Me miraban como si fuera una broma. Y yo solo quería patear una pelota, como lo hacía desde que tengo memoria. El West Ham me abrió una puerta, pero entrar por ella fue durísimo. Tuve que dejar la casa de mis padres y mudarme con otra familia. Las primeras noches lloraba en silencio. Echaba de menos mi cama, mi rutina, mis padres, mi mundo. Estaba completamente desorientado.
Con el tiempo empecé a entender mi cuerpo, a dominarlo. Pasé de sentir vergüenza a sentir poder. Me dieron la banda de capitán en el sub-18. Luego en el sub-21. Y cuando por fin debuté con el primer equipo, supe que cada lágrima, cada rechazo, había sido gasolina. Hoy juego en el Arsenal. En Champions. En Premier. En estadios donde antes ni me dejaban entrenar. No es fácil, nada lo es. Pero ya no tengo miedo. A veces cierro los ojos y pienso en ese chico que se sentía invisible. Me gustaría decirle: "Aguanta, hermano. Tu momento está más cerca de lo que crees."

Oh dear. I think you’ll find that matches are settled based on the old fashioned concept of GOALS……not who played “slightly better”. It’s not a new notion ….. and it seems to work Lucy.
