I am almost certain that if a kid likened a Muslim woman to a letterbox they’d be sent home from school, possibly excluded. Anyone doing the same in the workplace would be fired, probably prosecuted. So how can it be that someone who did exactly this is about to become PM?

@Hesketh_CW Would those be the same morals and principles that led Arsenal to keep - and defend a Partey over recent years?

I'm hearing some fans say Raya should start over Kepa etc etc. Sometimes football is about morals and principles. We cannot suddenly ditch the players who got us to the final. It sows resentment and mistrust. In the 2006 CL final, Flamini filled in as makeshift LB and helped us get to the final only for Wenger to bench him from the returning Ashley Cole. We looked imbalanced from the start and it contributed to Lehman's early red card

These really are the Big 3 aren’t they?

I’m all for modernisation but gosh there’s a very different tone at this year’s Hay Literary Festival.

@axelthfc Hear ME out… Cuti holding as a 6. Lolo pushed on like a 10/false 9. Deki tucked in like an 8 but with licence to roam. Richy running running running. And - get this - Vic sweeping as part of a back 3. Why the eff not?!?

Hear me out… Romero as an inverted fullback

@mrjohnofarrell I got that same message and funnily enough the end is the best bit (quite a big/unexpected twist and surprisingly moving). So maybe give it another go?

Pretty sure this is junk mail so I didn't read to the end.

@Aimce4 @InvertTheWing No

@InvertTheWing You think a back 4 of VDV, Davies, Cuti, Dragusin could work?

Udogie injury — not a big deal with Van De Ven back in the squad, and the signing of Dragusin. Van De Ven has a lot of the strengths Udogie, could play that role almost identically to him. Has the pace to negate Neto as well. Played as an inverted left back often for Wolfsburg. Started his career as a left back.

@Raymond70849852 @InvertTheWing I guess we all see things differently - that’s the beauty of the game. I was there and felt that of the players you mentioned, Porro in particular had a really poor game. Romero is hugely talented but an idiot - that pointless foul near the end when he lost his head - aaaargh 🤦‍♂️

@simondelaneytv @InvertTheWing You can’t be serious? Vicario, Romero, udogie, porro, Werner were all better and VDV was outstanding and MOTM. Hojbjerg along with bentancur, kulu and Johnson were well under par. The amount of times Werner was in and kulu and hojbjerg didn’t pass to him was so frustrating

I don’t think you’ll find a better professional than Pierre Emile Hojbjerg. Quite clearly at least the 6th choice midfielder minimum, yet has not kicked up a fuss about trying to force a move. Always gives his 100% on the pitch, despite limited minutes - whether you think his 100% is good is a different matter. Deserves a proper sending off.

Just a reminder that this is the person who a majority of Tory party members would like to replace Sunak as leader. Tells you all you need to know about the dodgy bunch of washed up lightweights currently running our country. theguardian.com/technology/201…

@axelthfc Vicario obviously 🙄

Random shout but has he been our player of the season? It’s between Porro, Deki and Son in my opinion

This absolute rabble of second raters masquerading as a government can’t even live up to the standards of their idol

@DameJulieWelch An appropriately elegant piece of writing. He sounds like a lovely man who led a long, interesting and meaningful life.

A wonderful obituary for my darling husband, Ron Atkin. Thank you, Richard Williams - you’ve done him proud theguardian.com/media/2024/jan…

@DJnr21 @Don_Falcone2 Yes I definitely wouldn’t want to be responsible for blocking Alfie Devine’s bath…. 😊

@Don_Falcone2 He’s not better than Højberg. His intensity and high press is really good but he’s not technically as good. It could be something different that we need and I’m not against it, just feel there’s better out there and I’d rather not block the bath of someone like Devine.

Am i the only Spurs fan that wants Gallagher? I want us to make a proper statement this window by forking out 40/45 mil on him. It’s not our money, so why are people bothered? For me, Gallagher is better than PEH & Skipp. He strengthens our midfield giving us options. Let’s go!!

@AFC_Monty_ @InvertTheWing Buffoon 😊

Over the next few weeks, I am going to conduct an experiment. I am going to record the ACTUAL stoppages in a match, vs. the stoppage time given. I will publish my data. It will start today. My theory is that the league favours certain teams, particularly those who are chasing the title, and dislikes others.

Johnson looking more and more like the freakish love child of Jimmy Saville and a particularly malign and tetchy dinner lady

@theodelaney Especially given the way we now play

@theodelaney 100% we should have kept him and got rid of Skipp

Winksy!!!!

@lovatt55 @theodelaney ‘Spursy do it all the time’? What does that even mean?

@theodelaney Spursy do it all the time pot kettle black what goes around UTV

The Bentancur news is sickening. I can’t think of many jobs where you can repeatedly assault people so badly they can’t work for months without getting yourself banged up. To target someone who’s just recovered from a bad injury is extra disgusting.

@Andyaussievilla @theodelaney Bullshit mate. Mistimed tackles *do* happen but Cash is a repeat offender - like Romero, but actually even more reckless. He knows what he’s doing when he makes those challenges. Sickening.

@theodelaney I’m sorry Theo and I do respect your opinion however you think Cash actually went out to harm someone ? Matty Cash is a fair player in the same way Romero is ! It seems this only happens to spurs players ! Villa are a team who play hard but good football ! Mistimed tackles happen
