From the front page of today's Mail: It's terrible how foreigners are coming over to our country to live! Also on the front page of today's Mail: Wouldn't it be nice to have a home in the south of France or the Costa del Sol?
It seems the ES has triggered their right to publish incessant complimentary articles about new WHL for at least two more seasons : https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...gn-new-contracts-after-mauricio-a3848251.html "Spurs’ net spend in four years under Pochettino has been roughly £40m – more than ten times lower than both Manchester clubs over the same period – and the cost of their new stadium is creeping above £850m. Of that, at least £500m is in bank loans, which they must repay over the next five years." Which means they are so ITK that the club has increased its loan facility over the current financial year by at least 100m.
Interestingly, nobody else has repeated it. If there was any form of evidence for the claim, there'd be a 'falsehood' of hacks repeating the story and beating Spurs and Levy to a bloody pulp with it. So far, nothing...not even The Sun claiming that someone else said it first . Dan Kilpatrick normally has his ear pretty well attuned to matters Spurs, so there could be something there........or The Standard may just have decided to go on the attack and **** the consequences. Probably Gideon trying to cheer Roman up.
We'll know for certain next April the truth of it I guess. And similarly we'll know the non-truth when predicted articles start appearing en-masse.
Gareth Bale: Real Madrid forward will not join former club Tottenham https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44281572 A total hack job. Not one shred of evidence , but it gets headlines as if it is fact. The only source of the speculation is Bale's wages which we all know anyway.
The BBC have really gone down the drain with regards to reporting, they used to be the most reliable source but these days are no better than Scouse Sports News and Talkshart.
Well, their non-story is now elevated to 2nd billing on their homepage....... Slow (fake) news day or more suspicious motivation?
So "will not join" is a statement of fact. Or in probability terms, an event that is certain NOT to occur. Is McNumpty willing to stake his life, or total wealth, on that certainty ?? If not, then STFU. ^will not ^highly unlikely to, would have sufficed for the article title (well it would for anyone whose IQ is not numbered on the soles of their shoes) .
Coventry City have just beaten Exeter City to win the 2nd Division Play Off Final at Wembley in front of about 50,000 fans......The headline on the BBC Website? Manchester United to Join Women's Championship For crying out loud, do they really need to put their tongues that far up that particular orifice?
Given that there's absolutely nothing at all to back up the story, apart from a very likely lack of appropriate funds, which would also apply to every other football club in the world apart from 3, at the most, it is somewhat surprising that Sky Sports are running the exact same story as their headline. Slow news day, huh guys?
The irony being that, a few months ago, WSC wrote a scathing article about how Man Utd had a girl's team but no women's team for them to graduate to.
The Evening Standard's response to the news that Roman Abramovic has ****ed off to Israel because he can't get back into this country without admitting where the money came from...........Nope, there isn't one. Not a sausage. Nada. Rien. **** all. Freedom of the press? Only to suppress the news in Putin's Britain. So, Tory Boy, Gideon Osborne, turns out to be a man who sold his country out for a job on a freebie newspaper and a couple of free seats down The Bridge. Kick him out too. ADDENDUM: **** me. 8 minutes after I posted this, they put up the story. It's a Polonium sandwich for me, boys and girls.
Errrr................... Despite that obvious **** up, it will be interesting to see whether his Israeli passport gets him free passage in and out of the UK, as,prima facie, it entitles him to.?It won't entitle him to work whilst here and would seem to be pretty embarrassing for someone used to just getting his own way. Would the UK government really just let him sidestep the visa issue and come straight back into the country? If he's sitting in Stamford Bridge with nothing seemingly altered, they're gonna look pretty foolish, no matter what they might try and say. Alternately, is he going to want to come back? He's just had a new baby with his new woman, There's a fair chance that his fellow Oligarchs are going to get the same treatment and if he rubs the UK's nose in it, he's likely to get even more scrutiny on his financial history and links to Putin. It's all good fun stuff.The Standard having briefly hidden the story in World News, have now withdrawn it completely......what a surprise.
