Will Lankshear. Untested in the PL.
We should have given him a season to be put to the test.
A transfer that should never have been sanctioned.

Confused as to why politicians say, on another attempted arson attack on a Jewish building, “these terrorists are trying to divide us - and will not succeed etc etc.” Are they? I’d say that diviseness is not the object. I’d say it’s trying to kill Jews.
57 years ago today the journey began.
Since then - a few cups and finals. Relegation and promotion.
Greaves, Gilzean, Chivers, Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles, Gascoigne, Ginola, Klinsmann, Modric, Bale, Kane plus...
What next? Who knows, but the journey will continue come what may.

I'm not Jewish. I don't have any Jewish friends (that I know of) but I am DISGUSTED by the demonisation & bullying of Jews that's been happening the last two plus years (& more, unbeknownst to me) & even MORE disgusted that some of the bullies are people I called friends.

At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you.
Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door.
I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians.
But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace.
It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.

Visiting the Nova Music Festival site today was incredibly painful. 378 people were murdered here when Hamas terrorists invaded on October 7th 2023. It feels like the world has already forgotten this horror.
When I call customer service it's because I want to speak to a person. Recorded messages giving me endless www.dontphoneusforwardslashwhatever options makes me even more determined to hold on for as long as it takes to achieve that goal.
