Quick sand was the biggest killer of UK seaside holidaymakers during the early 80s. FACT! (spoiler: nobody died)

Did anybody else’s parents convince them that it was illegal to turn the light on in the car while you were driving when they were growing up?

Napisałem dla @NewsweekPolska o mrocznym absurdzie. Im brutalniej Putin masakruje Ukraińców, tym chętniej stęskniony za Rosjanami świat sportu zaprasza ich z powrotem do rywalizacji. Bestialska eskalacja się opłaca: newsweek.pl/swiat/rosjanie-w…

Stec: W świecie sportu Rosja była pariasem. Dziś znów witają ją owacjami

Im brutalniej putinowska armia bombarduje Ukraińców, tym chętniej świat otwiera się na rosyjskich sportowców. Co wkrótce skaże na niebagatelne dylematy także nas, Polaków.

Really getting sick of this argument that City's era was some solution to competitive balance It was only good for City The answer to this problem is proper redistribution rules, that's good for the whole game - but it's a lot more difficult independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

The truth behind football’s much-maligned Financial Fair Play rules

Are the FFP rules Man City are alleged to have broken ‘unfair’ or ‘created by a cartel’? Miguel Delaney explains the reality of financial regulation in modern football

The Man City judgment is a good moment for lawyers (and no, not just their fees). Since 2023, there has been plenty of scepticism of the case from fans of all stripes. Many thought the accusations against City would somehow get swept under the rug. 1/4 thelawyer.com/the-manchester…

The Manchester City ruling is a boon for the law’s independence

You’re in the pub with a bunch of friends. It’s mid-February 2023, and the conversation turns to the 115 charges recently announced against Manchester City. Interest and scepticism come in equal…

Know Croatia will be hurting, as will the brilliant & charismatic Bilic...but how the hell did a country with fewer than 4m people produce so many great players between 87 (Yugoslavian youth winners mainly Croats) to relatively recently. It was a miracle. Only Uruguay come close

Football royalty of the highest order. I don’t care what level and role you have in the game, you can be a decent person and this in my experience is only demonstrated through your everyday actions & behaviours. None finer imho than Bren ⬇️

Exclusive with @AlexDooler @DNair5 UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City’s punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter They consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
