Does he really care *that* much? I doubt it.

But would be cool if we all declared that we would hold the tournament here and just invite all the qualifiers over to Europe and tell Infantino to go to hell. Won't change anything but would be better.

"Friedlich"?
"Harmlos"?
"Ignorierbar"? (Might have invented that last one.)

Of course if they sign it over then he will withdraw that assistance anyway. And if decided to just take it by force there's absolutely fuck all 'Europe' can do about it anyway.

That ship has sailed.

Pffff, really? The chances of any of them of finding a spine now is just about zero. For all we know he won't even want to object.

I don't disagree. It's nothing new though just the technology and platform types are new.

It was Fox News since the 90s, the Sun since the 80s, the Daily Mail for 120 years.

They don't create that audience, they feed off it.

It's a bit of a chicken/egg question. Did GB News design its content knowing what this audience were looking for?

I don't think GB News made them, it reflects them back at the rest of us.

It's also because they are completely and exclusively obsessed by it and they have an inexhaustible desire to bang on about it, while normal people like to talk and think about different thing or even just chill and not think about much at all

They are always 'on'.

Oh wow, I was at that game! Fun day.

Frankly the aim of this season now should be to finish as high as possible and hopefully secure a Champions League place (not a certainty)...and then be more strategic and effective in next window.

You can't go from those Forest/PSv showings to champagne football. We needed to stem the bleeding, and I'm not sure that part is even complete yet. And Leeds should be a formality...not a worry. But this is where we are.
