    Wasn't it something about Koreans all looking the same, or was that someone else?

    In the course of an interview, the interviewer asked Bentancur if he could get hold of a shirt worn by a Spurs player, "perhaps the Korean", itself not a great start. Bentancur then replied, 'Who, Sonny's? Oh actually it could be his cousin, they all look the same."

    His defence was that he was being sarcastic and trying to gently rebuke the interviewer for his clumsy generalisation, but that doesn't come across at all in the context of it. It looks more like he is joining in the joke and making it worse.

    Translation relied on a friend of mine and seems to reflect what most news outlets are reporting.

    No idea why he conducted the interview while holding his daughter, that's another stupid move.

    One thing about the club appealing about Bentancur’s ban. Will that not alienate Korean supporters and potentially cost the club money?

    The logic seems to be less about appealing the length, more about whether we're being used to set a precedent

    At present the minimum ban is set at six matches, and it's been set at six matches since 2019, so the logic seems to be querying whether the Premier League were planning to increase the minimum ban due to not doing so for five years and Bentancur being a colossal dumbass will be held up as the example for doing so

    If the minimum is 6 and he’s only been given 7 then he’s already at the more lenient end. I don’t get why the club are appealing over one game when they accept he’s guilty.

    That's why I wonder if the club have wind that the Premier League are considering upping the minimum ban to seven games with their next wave of rule changes, using Bentancur as a precedent

    Not the word I'd use for the "Call me Will, dad!" energy of the rebrands

    Paramount's is probably the most depressing of the lot

    It's an awful advertising campaign. So awful in fact that loads of people are talking about it. That makes it a good advertising campaign.

    I think they're rebranding and relaunching as a Telsa competitor, so rich people and companies.

    I'm lead to believe that benefit-in-kind payments on electric cars are exceptionally low, so it makes sense.
