Refereeing in England as usual. I don't agree on much with Shearer, but he's right.
Thank god referees are not flying airliners, and they're not brain or heart surgeons, or atomic plant or bridge engineers. Just imagine saying every week: "it's a difficult job. they need to do better".
I don't understand this kind of behaviour from certain crowds. Do we ever hound players of other clubs like that? I don't thnk that happens often. Of course we don't like Richarlison or Prickford, but I don't think any Reds think much of them when those playerrs are not on a pitch playing against us.
Big clubs don't have the time for that.
Benfica have beaten that francoist club, advancing in the UCL play-offs.
Thanks to a goal by their keeper 🙂
Three cheers to that.
Real Madrid have to plough along for a while longer.
Football will never be the same again.
Fourteen managers in thirteen years at MUFC (official, caretaker, or iterim).
That's not a manager problem, and most definitely not a player problem.
With many thanks to MUFC for making this a better day than it would have otherwise been.
I’m sad that we lost, but we had a good run. Let’s fucking run it back next year, and WIN THIS SHIT. LETS GO LOONS!!!! #mnufc #MLS #MastodonFC #loons #MLSCupPlayoffs

How many of your kids are you going to sell next year, James Pearce?
They're surely very valuable to you... what's their ROI?
You have a decent factory there, your output is phenomenal!
Great product!
Academy: We easily accept language like:
“£200m generated by academy products”
“Return on investment” in these kids.
Universities:
“Our graduates earn on average X per year.”
“Our alumni are in top firms.”
But we don’t see:
“We’ve generated £5bn from the sale of our alumni to corporations.”
“Our students are our most profitable products.”
If a university said:
“The Law School has generated £3bn from selling its alumni to top firms, a very productive era in human exports”
... people would likely find that:
- Creepy
- Dehumanising
- Corporate/industrial to a gross degree
Why do we tolerate this kind of language in sports journalism then?
Disgusting.
I know that the Academy is important, and that £200m in contracts resulting from the training of our great players is a significant figure. But could sports journos quit talking about children and young men in industrial terms using neoliberal speak –and frankly, the language of slavery? It's the language of slavery. Disgusting.
Imagine if universities discussed the value, salaries, and proceeds from the work of their alumni in terms of humans-as-product? People would probably complain.

Alight the ref overturns his own bad decision, reverts the penalty.
The ref announced it through the stadium loudspeakers, I may have to get used to that... more Tennis-like.
Still Fulham 0 - 1 Arsenal
The ref cam no one asked for is back.
