Would be great for this to become a positive story about Handsworth

Been to Birmingham many times. Next time will make a point of going to Handsworth

If only Zephaniah was around today to issue a response to Jenrick!!

Weren't the white people in Sutton Coldfield? So he had the weird conceit of filming scenes around diverse Handsworth, and then going and interviewing white people in Sutton Col about similar problems there

All this Robert Jenrick stuff has made me want to go to Handsworth. Sounds a great diverse place. I'm sure Soho Road is a cracker of a high street with all sorts of shops and food places.

The 24 Hours In Police Custody about the Luton triple murder is very good and really shocking.

Interest rates are also now much higher

Yeah it's surprising that Everton only went for 50,000

Oh yeah for sure. But they're all desperate to make every penny they can for PSR, and all see how much more Tottenham, United, Arsenal, Liverpool make compared to the rest.

It worked pretty well for Starmer

A lot of the reason they don't expand is tied into planning restrictions. Maybe the govt should make enabling the expansion of football stadiums into a specific policy.

Was thinking this the other day, so many PL teams could do with a bigger stadium: United, Villa, Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bournemouth, and so on.
It's surprising more don't expand, especially those with PSR problems.

Arsenal hold internal talks about redeveloping Emirates Stadium
Arsenal hold internal discussions about expanding the capacity of Emirates Stadium, which currently sits just over 60,000.

This weekend there has been a lot of players pretending to be hit in the face.

David Weir is atrocious on punditry

So utterly deluded.

Russell Martin: "performances have been improving a lot".
No idea what he is talking about!

Falkirk had more shots, higher xG, more shots on target, more big chances, more corners.

He's deluded.

It's mad that Philogene doesn't play in the PL. Quality player.
