It’s also from Covid ball times.
Was expecting a lot worse from the video
He's denying it anyway and saying it is FAKE NEWS.
He's having a chat with a mate while off his tits. Let it be.
To have those opinions is not the problem. To express them in view of a camera is asking for bother.
Eight players have withdrawn from the England squad. It's coming home.

Lineker leaving MOTD.
The enunciation of 'Winnersh' in that Brent clip/meme has probably made me laugh on 300 separate occasions in my life. Doesn't quite make up for the junk Gervais has been making for the last 15 years but it's close.
Meanwhile Lineker winds up doing Newsnight or something.
Will Alex Scott do it in her knickers if Arsenal ever win the league again? Could swing it.
London footballer in his 30s questioned over rape again
I know people cite trump voters and vaccine conspiracy type people as examples of people lacking critical thinking and intelligence, but the popularity of After Life is my personal pet favourite for this.
Especially as seemingly fairly coherent and normal people seem to like it, including parents of friends and colleagues and stuff. I know there's no accounting for taste, and i probably would have forgotten about it had it not been for all the comments along the lines of "well as someone who has experienced losing a close relative/gone through depression it really is the most accurate portrayal/really helped me" and suggestions that you need a certain level of emotional maturity or whatever to understand the deep meaning.
I mean, sorry to judge how people get over grief and stuff, but I always just think what the bloody hell are you on about? Rickys stand-in wish fulfilment character goes around winning arguments like he's in a fake Reddit story where everyone claps, calls people cunts as one dimensional supporting characters go oh you are so brave/wise/kind as fix you by Coldplay players in the background.
Absolutely bizarre. And I'm not one of those people who only likes Seinfeld no hugging no learning type comedies - I've plenty of time for the heartstring-pulling you get from dramedies like only fools and horses and stuff like that, it's just clearly fucking rotten and makes me think a lot of people really will like any old shit.
Mrs Brown's Boys is popular. A lot of people really do like any old shit.
I have no problem with Mrs Brown's Boys, it's a broad comedy, sells itself as a broad comedy, so if you like broad comedy you can watch it and if you don't then you don't have to.
After life is more dishonest because it's selling itself as profound and moving whereas actually it's a knobhead wanking himself off.
With Crisps leaving the show maybe it is now time for the national broadcaster to reflect on whether it needs to be bidding for the rights to terrestrial Premier League highlights. Bring back the tactics truck!
Of course.
Per the BBC:
That second one is/was a bitCoote’s previous decisions when in charge of Liverpool games are already being scrutinised. He was on video assistant referee duty for the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in October 2020 when Virgil van Dijk sustained a season-ending knee injury after a reckless challenge in the area by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford, with no penalty being awarded. Jordan Henderson had an stoppage-time winner ruled out for offside.
He was performing the same role in December 2023 when a clear handball from Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard – later acknowledged as a mistake by Webb – escaped punishment in a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
Should be said, that interpretation was a bit the style of the time though. Pretty sure Brighton or maybe Spurs got away with one where the VAR agonised over whether an arm was in a natural position whilst falling, overlooking the fact that the defender had pretty much just made a full length diving save.
On the plus side, think he's only ever been involved in 1 defeat for Liverpool, which was a pretty legit 3-1 loss to Arsenal [Arsenal's highest ever xG under Arteta of something, like 3.5, per phonics].
Did think when I saw the list of games he'd reffed on some clickbait site that it was a bit odd that he went three years after that Everton game without being involved in another Liverpool game.

Coote partial to the sniff and young boys apparently.
Someone wants him gone, 100%.
It really is a turbo charged descent to the job centre.
In less exciting news I see Captain Fanspastic has been chucking handgrenades into the ENGLAND CAMP moaning about player withdrawals. Has it not been ever thus? And also, aren't most of those withdrawals genuinely injured? Furthermore players like Grealish who have been out for ages, often injured on international duty, and then immediately get called up again once approaching fitness is something that should happen less - cf Odegaard - always a bit of a pisstake when that happens. Feels like some sort of Southgate Deep State play.
The international break moaning has hit fever pitch again. The international breaks have been exactly the same for the entire time I've been watching football - certainly this century - so I want to know what has changed that people moan about them more. Back then the breaks were often to play friendlies against Norway or whatever, this time at least there's some competitive context and this Greece game is pretty big.
Is it the growth of the Premier League as a PRODUCT that means people can't go without their fix of it? I mean, I know I can.
Has there always been an international break 3 times in 3 months? I highly doubt it.
International football is utter drivel and nothing will change it. Not helped by the fact it’s spread over 5 nights
Scousers on Twitter taking the moral high ground over marching powder has been some terrific reading
Fair play to Kane for calling out all the soft shites dropping out with injuries. They'll all be fit for their clubs next weekend I expect.
That’s the whole point
The club employ them and should be the ones looking after their fitness.
International football, big tournaments aside, is fucking shite.
@wullie
Thoughts on the stuff that’s come out about Robins/Viveash from the AGM?
France vs. Israel tonight could get spicy. Off the field of course.
Seen people on Twitter suggest Darwin does the Robbie Fowler line sniffing celebration next time he scores.
I'm a twit
I'm sure people in February will be very confused.
The international windows are the best part of the calendar.
We really need to bin our national anthem.
I sense that you're not doing your share in the bid to send him victorious.
Luckily Noni Madueke is, what a rise for the young man.
This is a quality game btw. Loads on it, spice, bite, thousands of seething wankers in the stands throwing olives and feta at each other. Proper game. Fuck club football.
Hard to say really. I'm glad that there's been some explanation rather than radio silence so people feel ready to move on and I credit the owner for not hiding, but at the same time he came out all guns blazing and threw Robins under the bus a bit, making him sound like his own worst enemy and a man completely exposed without a no. 2.
Robins ending the best few years I remember with little more than disappearing in the middle of the night doesn't sit well with me and I don't buy the idea that every potential applicant for the assistant role wanted to be manager.
On the plus side, Lampard's gone from heavy odds-on favourite to currently just ahead of Lee Carsley and Ruud Van Nistelrooy. It'll probably still be Lampard but I remember when Russell Slade was the best choice.
