I'm just going to say this and before anybody starts foaming at the mouth, I'm not homophobic! I couldn't give a fuck if you're gay. If you're a bloke and you fancy blokes, crack on. If you're a woman and you fancy women, crack on. Get married, adopt twelve fucking Labradors and spend Sunday arguing in IKEA like everybody else. But what the fuck happened after that? Because I remember LGBT. I could just about keep up with that. Then it became LGBTQ. Then LGBTQ+. Then LGBTQIA+. Then LGBTQIA2S+. Fuck me. I used to think LGBT was a sandwich. Lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato. Then the Q arrived and I thought somebody had added fucking quiche. Now it looks like somebody's Wi-Fi password. And that's before you even get into the rest of it. Non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer, agender, bigender, trigender, pangender, polygender, demigender, demiboy, demigirl, genderflux, androgyne, neutrois, maverique, xenogender, genderfae, genderfaun. Then there's he/him, she/her, they/them, he/they, she/they, he/she/they, it/its, ze/hir, ze/zir, zie/hir, xe/xem, ey/em, e/em, ve/ver, ne/nem, per/per, co/cos, thon/thon, ae/aer and fae/faer. Still with me? Because we're not fucking finished. Bun/bunself. Pup/pupself. Cat/catself. Star/starself. Moon/moonself. Void/voidself. VOIDSELF. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? "Excuse me, is this seat taken?" "Void." "Right. I'll fucking stand." And somewhere along the way we've also got furries. Grown adults dressed as cats, dogs, foxes and fucking dragons. People meowing. People barking. People crawling around on all fours. I've seen people dressed as dogs doing obstacle courses with an audience cheering them on like fucking Crufts has accidentally booked the wrong convention centre. Imagine being an alien arriving on Earth and that's the first thing you see. You'd put the fucking spaceship in reverse. "No intelligent life here. One of them's dressed as a border collie and somebody's just given him a biscuit." And I'm sorry, but some of the videos are fucking spectacular. You've got somebody with luminous green hair looking like they've escaped from Fraggle Rock, absolutely screaming into another person's face because they've used the wrong pronoun. How the fuck was he supposed to know? You need a fucking laminated flowchart. "Hello." "HOW DARE YOU." "I haven't said anything yet." "EXACTLY." This is the bit I don't understand. Be whoever you want to be. Love whoever you want to love. Wear whatever you want. Dye your hair green. Dress as a dragon. Call yourself Moonbeam. Spend Saturday crawling around the NEC pretending to be a fucking spaniel if that's what gets you through the week. I genuinely don't care. But don't demand that everybody else joins in. My view is that there are two genders, male and female. You can disagree with me. That's fine. We can disagree about things without one of us spontaneously fucking combusting. What I won't do is memorise an ever-expanding dictionary because somebody somewhere has decided this week that they're fae/faer, void/voidself and spiritually a fucking woodland fox. We've somehow taken "live and let live", which was perfectly fucking simple, and turned it into a terms-and-conditions document. You live your life. I'll live mine. I'll call you by your name. I'll treat you like a human being. I won't give a flying fuck who you sleep with. But if you start barking at me, I'm throwing a fucking tennis ball. Credit: Suzanne Jacobs

UEFA introduced FFP for clubs competing in Europe, while the Premier League later introduced its own financial rules covering all 20 clubs—against the backdrop of financial failures such as Portsmouth. Those rules did not ban wealthy owners from investing. Owners could inject equity and fund infrastructure, academies and community projects, while permitted losses allowed substantial owner backing. Commercial and related-party deals were also allowed, provided they were genuine and appropriately valued. If City believed those limits unfairly restricted ambitious owners, they had every right to lobby, vote, legally challenge them or seek to change them with their army of lawyers. What they didn't have the right to do was secretly circumvent rules everyone else was expected to follow, and only then take legal action...

Give this guy your support.

Idiot.

If Liverpool got found guilty of doing this I would continue supporting them. However, I would admit our guilt and move on.

So the guy who said he would leave the club if they got found guilty is now 100% behind them. Absolute snake that Pep. I bet he was getting paid on the side as well. Why Mancini and not him? #Pep #City

City went 44 years without a league title until they began cheating.

“Nobody can compete with City.” Jürgen Klopp knew exactly what Liverpool were up against. #LFC

Ian Wright on the 115 charges 2 and a half years ago 🤌

In world history Stanley.

RT @StanCollymore: Opinion. If City's appeal fails then every trophy should be expunged from the records, removal from Premier League and…

This isn’t the biggest thing in the history of the premier league It’s the biggest scandal in the history of football It’s a decade….. yes ten years of cheating This isn’t fixing a match or paying a referee to win a cup It’s 10 years of systematic cheating

Apparently this one needed removing… so naturally, here it is again. 😭 Let’s make this a 🐩🥓 awareness post while we’re here. If you’ve received unsolicited DMs offering betting tips, crypto “opportunities” or anything else involving your money, tell people what you received and why people should beware in the comments. 👇🏼 And now, back to Abla, Mexico 🇲🇽 because she deserves her moment again 😁

Funny this 🤣🤣🤣

This is very concerning @andyburnham it would be great if our own young men and women could be put first in this respect.

42 YEARS AGO TODAY, television put on a pastel suit, rolled up the sleeves and completely changed the vibe. Miami Vice premiered in 1984—and suddenly a crime show looked like a music video, sounded like an album and made neon-lit Miami feel like the coolest place on Earth. Crockett. Tubbs. Ferraris. Speedboats. Synths. Pastels. That unmistakable nighttime glow. And then Jan Hammer’s “Miami Vice Theme” did something almost unheard of for a TV instrumental—it went all the way to No. 1 and won two Grammys. 111 episodes later, Miami Vice hadn’t just captured the ’80s. It practically taught the ’80s how to look. If that opening theme just started playing in your head, congratulations… your childhood still has surround sound.

Hey @MetroMayorSteve Please have a look at this. Why are we bringing in outside people to run our Christmas Market? Also these costs are ridiculous. fb.watch/v/3QSOiyKzq/?

Why do members of the House of Lords not have to pay tax or NI on the daily amount they receive by just turning up. It’s an income & if everyone else has to pay tax then so should they. Who agrees with this?

#LEENEW #VAR Since when has accidental handball in the box not been a penalty? It was a clear handball. Whats going on?

Talks sense does Souey.
