”The power of sport to lead while governments flounder. And no sport owes more to migration than football”

Memo to the BBC
Perhaps it would have been useful, in the case of Gary Lineker and Match of the Day, to look more closely at the writing on the side of your own building:
It is an old quote from George Orwell: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
This Grealish x Haaland time-wasting shithousery is unsurprising but unbelievable 😂 ⚽️ #ManCity #CmonCity #MCINEW

Yesterday was a good day!
Really happy to finally be able to put these frames up @FrenchTeam 🤩 🇫🇷 ⚽️ #AllezLesBleus
After an unprecedented winter window in which they signed seven senior players for over £280million, there is one question dominating the sport: How are Chelsea able to embark on such a spending spree while abiding by UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations?
Howdy y’all 🤠: “The Athletic is jumping on the Wrexham bandwagon”
Shout out to @PetBerisha for the fantastic breakdown on the @Sorare x @PremierLeague deal
If you’re able to watch it on Apple TV+ (which is a service I definitely recommend), “Super League: The War for Football” is a fascinating look at what happened in 2021!
Fun Sunday Night:
The Guardian, on AS Monaco’s youth talent factory!
Saturday, January 28, 2023
Really enjoyed this piece on my childhood club: AS Monaco 🇲🇨 The Monaco academy boasts a star-studded list of alumni: World Cup winners Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Petit, Lilian Thuram, David Trezeguet and Kylian Mbappé all graduated from the club. When Monaco tinkered with their successful formula of youth development, signing Radamel Falcao and James Rodríguez for big money, they won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semi-finals [≠]If you want to strip what’s left of the Titanic, call the Washington Wizards front office. No one is better at salvage operations.
Great to be back playing football tonight
As I’m preparing for the Manchester derby this weekend, this was a great read!
.@SevillaFC_ENG I LOVE YOU SO 🦆ING MUCH
2023 is the year I put my community-building and online-friendliness skills to good use on my own projects.
I’ve given enough and been burnt enough by corporations.
Together against the world — allez les bleus! #FiersDetreBleus #ARGFRA
