But their wokeness is just too much, the whole thing has turned into a circus.
I've actually got to the stage I'm grudgingly half agreeing with that Dorres woman.
It always seem to me they spend a huge amount of time advertising themselves, particularly wrt how wonderful they are for the third world.
True, but not in the middle of their programmes.

I did, and I still believe the model is superior to anything else, it's the fact that it's been hijacked by the lefty trendies that's the problem.

That was in about 1967

More retired female players employed by the media as experts. Tonights MOTD Fara Williams. Getting fed up with women taking over male sports. If they're talking bollocks, i'd like them to have a pair

TalkSport breakfast show wanking off over Gabby. A good start certainly but fuck off with the 'now showing us he's world class, loved by fans and team mates, transfer of the summer bollocks. Last season they wanted Arteta out now he's a top manager

City giving their own supporters skin cancer bow according to Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... 1660488806I'm sure City will change their mind over this (it's as daft as banning bottle lids and standing in The South Stand years ago) but typical media overreaction

Fair play to Souness for not backing down on the comment he made about football being a man’s game
Let’s see if he is still a Sky pundit in a couple of weeks

Read two articles on Sky Sports, one on Giggs and one on Mendy.
The Mendy article had Man City in the headline and mentioned Man City four times in a short article.
The Giggs article did not have Man Utd in the headline and mentioned MU twice in a much longer article.
Unlikely to be coincidence.

We are powerless to do anything about this. The point is not that they are women, the point is the criteria has always been - we were told - that to be a pundit you have to have played in the Premier League. These women have not played in the Premier League. If they were going to use pundits who haven't played there, then anyone who played football could have got a gig - maybe me? How about Carl?
It's just all so ridiculous and unfair.

I don’t know why they’re getting so emotional about it. The match he was commenting on was literally a mens game. Are they that thick they don’t know the difference?
