"Sell United and f*k off home" sing MUFC fans, the only good thing about the club right now.
And it's right. The Glazers have made their money many times over for 21 years. Fans never wanted it and that takeover should never have been allowed. Do the right thing: sell up and go.

URGENT: @bahruz_samad just attempted to cut himself in middle of the Supreme Court hearing. When the court went into a brief break, he was taken to drink some water. This is where he harmed himself. His right hand was bleeding, he continued to talk while bleeding.
He is clearly in a serious, dangerous mental condition. He needs urgent medical and psychological help. He must be released!

19 September 2023 . The beginning of the 'end' for the Armenian Karabakh/Artsakh.
This is what the capital Stepanakert looked like from 19 September 2023 until 25. With this post, I will attempt to present the chronology of what remains in my memory from those terrible days.
I am posting this at the exact time I heard the first explosions then. It was 13:19.
This post will be updated until September 26.
The ‘Last’ Afternoon
With this post, I am trying to describe the ‘last’ days of Armenian Karabakh/Artsakh. My photos and footages—the only things I managed to take with me after leaving—are a great help in this (as if this tragedy didn't happen just three years ago). I am sharing this story with you and will be updating it I think until 25 of September. I would appreciate it if you shared and spread the word. Special thanks to my supporters here; I truly value your support.

My new op-ed on the grotesque spectacle of Western diplomats touring an emptied Nagorno-Karabakh, dancing, posing at monuments to ethnic cleansing built over the ruins of Armenian homes, while lending their presence to Baku’s historical revisionism.

A *very* good piece on an issue getting less and less attention
And yes, it does mention US billionaires and Arsenal’s sponsorships
But as important as all that is, it’s negligible next to the influence of a hydrocarbon global power - look at effect of Strait of Hormuz
This is what it does to football

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

Three great exclusives in the Money blog so far this week - @JournoJess97's very punchy interview with the boss of Fillipo Berio has been widely picked up by the papers... British supermarkets are "taking the mickey" out of shoppers on olive oil news.sky.com/story/supermark…

Horrifying video which totally contradicts the Israeli military claims that the ambulances are being used for ‘military purposes’. The attacks killed 4 medics in Nabatieh in south Lebanon including a young father we interviewed a few weeks ago, Mahdi Abou Zeid. I’ll repost the report in this thread. His last words to us:’ If we rest, who will do the job’ 🧵

Trump just compared Keir Starmer to Neville Chamberlain. Ukrainians will point out the US President repeatedly suggests handing Putin the Donbas hoping it'll end the war, just as Chamberlain et al gave Hitler the Sudetenland in another act of appeasement.

Trump's speech last night revealed a president who does not have a grasp of the balance of power in this war and that should worry all of us.

Manchester United fans unveiled a pro-immigration banner during Sunday’s fixture against Crystal Palace in response to comments from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The banner was displayed by supporters in the corner over the tunnel at Old Trafford before the second half of the Premier League match kicked off.
It read: “MUFC proudly colonised by immigrants” and pictured seven international players who have represented the club: France’s Eric Cantona and Patrice Evra, Park Ji-sung of South Korea, Portugal’s Bruno Fernandes, Norway’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Amad of the Ivory Coast and Brazil’s Casemiro.
In February, Ratcliffe said in an interview with Sky he believed the United Kingdom has been “colonised by immigrants”.

I have a message from Bahruz:
"Azerbaijan must honor the Washington agreement and fully commit to the agreed peace agenda. My imprisonment is unlawful and stands in direct contradiction to the very principles of peace that were promised".
