Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Premier league chairman)who is only in the job a wet weekend) is to resign after backlash from clubs over the KSA takeover of Newcastle.

I’m curious to what the “handful” of clubs consisted of, and how many of the “Big 6” were behind it.

Do people on here still think Kurt Zouma is bad?

How many goals have been his fault against Finland so far?

So to confuse to black men who have the same last name is disgraceful. It’s lazy casual racism and seems it’s okay just to plast a picture of any black man with the same name in an article about rape is either incompetent in the extreme or one of those ‘they all look the same’ type of behaviour which is racism.

Do your job properly or quit and go home.

To be fair, the media screws up this sort of stuff all the time these days. Editing is not what it used to be, at all. Content migrating to the internet has done to the media much what patching via the Internet did to software development - content with errors/bugs ships all the time since it's low-cost to fix later. The media companies make the same gamble as the software companies - most of the errors won't be embarrassing, so it's cheaper to be sloppy, ship stuff that hasn't been fully vetted and save on salaries, insurance and 401(k)s.

I get where you're coming from, but this isn't the print media of twenty years ago where errors were a lot less common and you could make a strong case with data that errors/retractions of this nature were disproportionately occurring in coverage of minorities. If you wanted to convince me that this was casual racism, you'd have to replicate historical findings for print media in today's media. I'm willing to be convinced if you can point me to the data that backs the position up.

This story is crazy.

It really is. Just for starters, dude should count himself lucky she didn't order the hit on him. Paying for the phone in what was most likely a long-running workplace affair...I'm interested to see if Barca has any contractual recourse against his wages during the time period in question, because in their position they would surely use that.

I've put on a crucial Nigeria vs Cape Verde

Get help.

Get help.

On in the background while I work mate. I'll be honest I didn't really pay attention at all after about 20 minutes but I did catch the commentator saying "It has been a good performance from the Everton man."

Allegedly… City were aware of the allegations initially brought towards Mendy and still chose to play him.

They’ve acted disgracefully.

Whilst the act is despicable, I’m hoping this will be a warning signing to all footballers that Money doesn’t mean power, and power doesn’t mean being a scum bag.

Thats a difficult one as innocent until proven guilty and all that. Hindsight it looks really bad though. Brighton ate doing the same with Bissouma.

Who is the commentator.....Stevie Wonder?

He's not bad but he's average.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He's not bad but he's average.

I'd take that level of average myself.

Not much more than Ben Godfrey iirc.

Why would you want to sign an average player.

 

[PITA]

So the article, about a serious crime , is about Benjamin Mendy

But they've used a photo of Chelseas Edouard Mendy

So not only have they done the classic " mix up two black people" they've also asociated the Innocent Edouard with Benjamins vile crimes

Thanks. I didn’t know what either looked like.

See my reply to @zukai12_ above.

I didn't say I agreed.

He also played for us. People thought he was bad when he played for us hence my question.
