    Wánkers to a man.
    Times has been obsessed with it this week as well though. Not sure you would call them socialists. Though still quite dull

    As long as they don't advise on things that might happen and only on what they can currently do, then all fair, according to law

    And governments know this very well, of course, so the best they can do is a bit of virtue-signalling and SJW-ing.

    As Usmanov is neither an owner of, or director at, The Arsenal, I don't think he has anything to fear, shirley?
    Moshiri on the other hand, who gives a ****?

    300 journalists had access to those docs for a year and have come up with jack **** really

    The panorama programme was a waste of time. I couldn’t follow their explanation of one of the schemes and I implement them every day as part of my job!

    All in all very Arsenal. Promised to deliver so much and yet failed

    The only vaguely interesting revelation is that that sanctimonious cvnt Bono is an absolutely massive fvcking hypocrite. And we all knew that already.
    Well, there you are then. Bono. That's enough. It certainly makes me very happy, this news. But there's a whole list of fvckheads: Apple, rich pricks the world over, this politician over here who seems to be profiting directly from his role in the govt. All in all I'd say it's a worthwhile little trove.

    Right. It's just banter really. There's no harm in rattling a few cages once in a while.

    Anyway, they can take it.
