    There is a UK journalist, Paolo (cannot for the life of me
    recall his surname <steam> ) , who did a documentary on
    the overseas wealth lording it in London.

    The myth of "trickle down" economics was laid bare :

    the industries supporting the manufacture/purchase of
    flashy/bespoke cars/clothes/jewellery etc, does not
    trickle down money to either the tax man, nor the man in
    the street anywhere close to being significant.

    The better name for it is horse and sparrow theory.
    If you feed the horse enough oats, then some of it will pass through to the road for the sparrows.
    They changed that one, for some reason! <laugh>

    Compared to being the only first consecutive Puskas winner, doesn't winning the league or even the CL look a little...common by comparison?

    Thought not.

    “The limitations placed on us by a patriarchal society are not just exclusive to women...men can choose to reject stereotypical gender roles; so if a man doesn’t feel he has to be dominant, a woman doesn’t have to feel submissive.”
    How do you deal with a 14 year old kid?
    Help!

    I don't disagree with any of that, though it sounds a bit too Tumblr, for me.
    I suspect I'm missing some context, though.

    In a gender neutral fashion, of course.

    I know the answer to this will be obvious and one I should know - but why are there (apparently) no fixtures this weekend coming? Is it a winter break? Can't see any club or International fixtures?

    Yes, it's a winter break. Some international teams have fixtures, too.
    The AFCON is still going and the American and Asian countries have qualifiers.
