The moment Alex Scott speaks the unpalatable fact that her Jamaican great-great-great-great grandfather owned 26 slaves.
Equally unpalatable is the fact which follows: that the British government forced him to set them free, compensating him and other slave-owners “to the tune of 20 million pounds”.
Reparation is going to be a bit complicated, isn’t it?
This transfer window has shown without doubt there's a change in ambition at Spurs. We do need attackers but I'd prefer to wait and get players who genuinely improve us. No point in panic-buying. De Zerbi says the relationship with the board is good and he doesn't fuck around.

12 of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British TV and radio:
1: Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - “This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.”
2: New Zealand Rugby Commentator - “Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.”
3: Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - “And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!”
4: Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - “Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.”
5: US PGA Commentator - “One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my god !! What have I just said?”
6: Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on 'Time Team Live' said: “You'd eat beaver if you could get it.”
7: A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked. “So Bob, where's that eight inches you promised me last night?”
Not only did he have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!
8: Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: “Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.”
9: Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on 'Look North' said: “There's nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this.”
10: Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on 'Sky Sports': “Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis's misses every chance he gets.”
11: Michael Buerk on watching Philippa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1's UK eclipse coverage remarked.
“They seem cold out there. They're rubbing each other and he's only come in his shorts.”
12: Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: “Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny; other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.

🚨🎙️NEW: Sir Alex Ferguson reaction to Chelsea’s current project.
🗣️“Chelsea have spent so much money over the years that you’d expect them to have built a dynasty by now. Instead, every transfer window feels like a shopping spree.
They seem to sign almost every talented player they come across, but football isn’t about collecting names, it’s about building a team. Every player should fit a vision, not just a price tag.
Every season there’s a new project, a new manager, and another £200 million spent. At some point, the excuses have to end and the football has to speak.
When I faced Chelsea, I knew exactly what they stood for. Today, I’m not convinced Chelsea themselves know what they stand for. Talent is everywhere, but identity wins you titles.
You don’t build success by buying everyone the market offers. You build it by knowing exactly who you need, and more importantly, who you don’t. Until Chelsea understand that, they’ll keep watching clubs with a clear football identity lift the biggest trophies.”
On James Maddison: He flatters to deceive. Given time and space he can be excellent but too often gets muscled out of games. Spends half the game on the ground appealing to refs. Good lad I'd say but ultimately not up to it.
I don't care what system or style you want to play, Sandro Tonali fucking walks into the Spurs first Xi. Massive upgrade.
One of the few good things to come out of the Thomas Frank debacle is that future managers should be supported through difficult patches, which hasn't always been the case.

ALT bog jockey n. An altruistic person who, to avoid unpleasant odours from contaminating the bathroom for other users, reaches behind himself to press the flush lever at the exact moment their foulage leaves the starting gate, thus keeping to an absolute minimum the time its surface is exposed to the air that others have to breathe (also useful for masking unpleasant splashing noises). So called as the toilet user assumes the position of a jockey astride his mount and thrashing its arse with a riding crop.

It’s good to see the goalkeeper keeping his composure in a situation like this 🤣
