@cfdownes_ There is no hope fr this nation if 20% of people would vote for that obscene ‘green’ character Polanski. It is quite unbelievable!

We've been going for a month. Imagine what we can achieve in three years.

@EIE2104 I grew up watching those jammy bastards win titles and European cups until I was sick int eh stomach with it - would quite happily have seen even the spuds put one over them!

@UNDERCOVER_JM What you mean the ‘best defender in premier league history’ according to the strange people who live near the Mersey?

Good defending from VVD. 😂🤦‍♂️

@gooner145 They only raise their game for the big matches 🤣

Liverpool are **** !! Slot in !!

@SimonLester2468 An even stranger fan base!

The build up to that appalling game in Liverpool this afternoon was all about Tudor being sacked after a heavy defeat. At the final whistle I’m seeing Scouse accounts Tweeting ‘Slot Out’…. The same Slot that won them The PGMOL title last season. What a strange game….🤷.

@AlexLFC31 Shut up yer Scouse tosser!

Allez Allez Allez, Arteta doing the Klopp fist pumps, 4 centre backs on the pitch, time wasting 40 minutes a game, Super Bowl atmosphere level of cringe fanbase, it won’t get any worse and unbearable than these Arsenal cunts winning the league 🤢

@nocontextEFC I had previously thought Everton fans a decent fair minded bunch but then after the game listening to some idiots ranting on the train home I was reminded that they are still scousers and therefore full of 💩

Arsenal fans are so set-piece brainrotted that they can’t even fathom tapping the ball into an empty net during open-play

@Wazza1882 What does that make spurs then? Relegated in the worst ever premier league oh dear, obviously forgot to put your thinking head on today 🤪

Worst winners of the premier league if they win it. Horrible team, horrible football. No wonder no one likes them.

@1968Tv Bloody hell you wouldn’t put horses on a field like that!

On This Day 1975 The greatest playing surface in the history of football! Jimmy Greenhoff with a double, in Stoke City’s 2-1 victory over Derby County at The Baseball Ground. Kevin Hector with Derby’s goal. With the great voice of ATV’s Hugh Johns commentating. #DCFC #StokeCity #StarSoccer

@ABDO_FPL @1NilArsenal Is forever too much to hope for?

Another quiet game for Haaland 3 shots, only 1 on target, 0 big chances, accumulated 0.3xG in total. How long will this continue? #FPL #FPLCommunity

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer Demolishes the human-induced "climate emergency" fairy tale in three and a half minutes

AN OPEN LETTER TO LEWIS HAMILTON Mr Hamilton, You have recently spoken about Britain’s past and suggested that the country should consider returning land in Africa as some form of historical reckoning. Before making such sweeping statements, it might be worth revisiting the full history — not just the fashionable fragments that circulate on social media. Slavery was not invented by Britain. It existed for millennia across the ancient world — in empires from Rome to the Middle East and Africa. By the time Britain emerged as a maritime power, slave trading networks already stretched across continents. The Atlantic trade itself involved multiple participants. African rulers and traders captured and sold prisoners to European merchants on the coast. It was an ugly system, but it was also an international one. What is often omitted from modern lectures about history is that Britain became the first major power to turn against the trade. Parliament passed the 1807 Act abolishing the slave trade, and the Royal Navy then spent decades enforcing that decision. The West Africa Squadron patrolled thousands of miles of coastline. Sailors died from disease and from gunfire while intercepting slave ships. In doing so they liberated tens of thousands of people who would otherwise have been carried into bondage. Many of those liberated Africans were settled in Sierra Leone. The capital was named Freetown for a reason. There are also chapters rarely mentioned today. When Napoleon restored slavery in French territories after it had been abolished, it was British power that ultimately helped end those systems again. There is also the matter of the enormous compensation loan taken by the British state when slavery was abolished across the empire — a debt British taxpayers continued servicing for generations. None of this erases the suffering of those enslaved. But it does mean the story is far more complex than the simple narrative often presented today. So before condemning Britain wholesale, perhaps a moment might be taken to acknowledge the sailors who fought the slave traders and the role Britain played in shutting down the Atlantic system. A fitting tribute would be support for a memorial to those men who served and died enforcing abolition. History deserves honesty — not slogans. Yours sincerely Stan Robinson Voice of Wales @VoWalesWren @alanlester #SouthAfricaSquadron #RoyalNavy #VoiceOfWales

@amittalwalkar The greatest I have ever seen

“So who’s going to bowl to him?” asked captain David Gower, calmly sipping his tea. No one volunteered. The room fell silent, eyes lowered, each player hoping someone else would take the responsibility. Finally, Ian Botham stepped forward. It was not exactly an act of bravery - he was just two wickets away from overtaking Dennis Lillee as the world’s leading Test wicket taker. Botham asked John Emburey to bowl from the other end. As they walked out to the middle, Emburey turned to Gower and said, “If this shit doesn’t work, don’t just blame me. And whatever runs I concede, count them as runs conceded by all the bowlers combined.” England had arrived in Antigua after suffering four consecutive defeats against West Indies. The first and fourth Tests had ended inside three days, and the third inside four. Desperate to avoid a humiliating whitewash, England were now hoping at least to salvage a draw in the fifth Test. Three days had already passed with England still batting their first innings, and everything seemed perfectly set for a draw. But one man stood firmly in their way, Viv Richards. Before tea on the fourth day, Richards was already 28 from just 20 balls, having casually launched two effortless sixes. When play resumed, he continued exactly where he had left off. Botham and Emburey tried everything they could. Botham peppered the pitch with bouncers, but Richards hooked them with disdainful ease. The assault was relentless. Years later, Emburey recalled the chaos of that spell, “One ball smashed a bottle of rum in the stands and came back with shards of glass stitched into it. Another sailed out of the stadium and landed near the prison where Richards’ father worked. Before Viv came in, my figures were 9-0-14-1. Five overs later, they read 14-0-83-1.” Richards eventually brought up his century in just 56 balls, a record that stood for nearly three decades. England, meanwhile, were crushed by 240 runs. Take any modern day T20 hitter and multiply his ability by 10. Even then, he would still be miles behind Viv Richards. Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards turns 74 today ❤️

@LeeHurstComic My God how will they cope?

Unless there’s a free bar and pie counter.

@SimonLester2468 And there is an inexhaustible supply of the tossers on Twitter!

‘The Championship is the most competitive League’…. Only a bitter scouser would go to print with this drivel.

@fusionjosh_ Oh dear, how sad for little you. Switch off then?

It's blatant cheating at this point Horrible watch Arsenal.

@CFCMJordan I think you should lay off those hard drugs mate it’s rotting your brain. One day, perhaps your cheating diving chaotic club might just challenge for the title again. Until then mind your own business because nobody cares what also rans think.

Arsenal and their fans actually believe we don't like them because we fear them. When Man City won 5 out of 6 Premier League titles, we all respected them. We all feared them. Respect = fear. Not dislike. When Liverpool won the PL under Klopp and consistently challenged for it, we all largely respected them. Both of these sides were genuinely good football teams. They were playing free flowing, entertaining football, scoring goals and creating chances while allowing world class individuals to shine. Man City with players like Agüero, David Silva, KdB, Bernardo, Sterling, Sané, Mahrez, Kompany and then eventually players like Haaland, Rodri, Foden and Alvarez etc. Liverpool with their unbelievable frontline of Mané, Salah and Firmino with players like TAA, Robertson, Diaz etc. Always playing with 100% intensity, always looking to score one more goal, always looking to entertain the fans. Again, we all respected these teams and that respect was given because we feared them – and we did so because they were genuinely good teams who played genuinely good football with genuinely good players. Not a soul respects Arsenal and what they are doing. They are not playing entertaining football, and in many cases they are literally not playing football at all. Wasting time, faking injuries, taking forever to restart play – be that from corners, free-kicks, goal kicks whatever. Constantly goes down too easy while looking more like WWE fighters when attacking/defending set-pieces. They are massively over-reliant on set-piece goals to open up games and all of their set-piece goals happen, not because of beautifully rehearsed variants but because they are allowed to do whatever they want in the box without being penalised for it. On top of all this, they act in the most unsporting and disgusting manner possible whenever they play. No class at all. Nobody will look back at this title win (and yes, they will win the title) with admiration in the future. They are literally only winning this title because they are meant to win it. They will not win it because they deserve to – they will win it because the Premier League has decided they will. This is why no one actually fears Arsenal. They are objectively not a TOP football team. If they were refereed like any other side in the league, they'd be scrambling for top 5. Nothing they do is sustainable in the long-run. They have no individual quality to fall back on. When literally every single person in football is OPENLY practically saying that Arsenal are cheating, boring and getting away with m*rder, it's time to actually look at yourselves and realize that YOU actually are the problem and not everyone else.

@dlmjnk @OptaJoe @fuggy44 Another Scouse tosser blocked

@OptaJoe #TaintedTitle @fuggy44

4:18 – Arsenal have the longest time delays before taking corners in the Premier League this season, over 2 hours in total, averaging 4 minutes 18 seconds per match. Delay.

@Oween99 Ah bless you’re all upset about losing - never mind there’s always next week. What a pathetic little rant of no consequence. When you grow up you will understand football a bit better.

Arsenal will go down as one of the worst champions. They have hung on since they scored & wasted more time than I’ve ever seen a club do. They play like they’re fighting for survival. Embarrassing

@adrianjclarke Just like the good old days!

Hearing all this unprecedented, unjustified Arsenal-hate, just confirms how good a team Arteta has built. Let it be the fuel, lads.
