    Beşiktaş has set its sights on Abdul Fatawu for a winger transfer. It is claimed that the Black and White team has made a loan offer with a purchase option for the 22-year-old Leicester City player and is pushing hard to finalize the transfer.

     

    Beşiktaş has set its sights on Abdul Fatawu , who plays for English team Leicester City . Following manager Vincenzo Italiano's request for reinforcements on both wings, the Black and Whites are reportedly trying to add the 22-year-old Ghanaian player to their squad. It is stated that Beşiktaş initially offered Leicester City a loan deal with a purchase option for Fatawu, who was born in 2004 and fits the 10+4 foreign player rule.

     

    It has been learned that the English club, which is evaluating the offer, has not yet responded. If Leicester City does not accept the loan offer, Beşiktaş will move to acquire Fatawu permanently. They plan to make an offer in the range of 15 million euros for the talented footballer, whose current value is 20 million euros .

    “Club has not responded”.

    Most of the pelters come from Americans on the internet. They in turn just copy the French, with no sense of their own actual self awareness. 

     

    If they had any self awareness they'd realise the irony. America comfortably has the worst food of any country I've ever visited, it's horrendous. 

     

    When you say this to them they immediately start getting outraged by any number of things, either banging on about some amazing migrant cuisine you can get there (whilst dismissing British claims to it's own migrant foods, like the vast majority of curries eaten in the west), the number of amazing restaurants they have there (with chefs trained in France, just like the fine dining we have here) or as a last resort they'll start screeching about BBQ as if they're the only nation on the planet that's ever cooked meat outside and it's somehow sophisticated? 

     

    All of which is missing the point tbh. Restaurants are irrelevant, every major country in the world these days has great places to eat and many of them all sorts of multicultural cuisine from all sorts of different cultures. It's just not a brag for them any more like it might have been decades ago. 

     

    When I say they have the word food I'm talking about what the average family as actually buying from the supermarket and eating at home. I'm talking about the convenient food, their fast food, their day to day snacks. It's absolutely appalling. 

     

    It's OK boasting that your country has "freedom" but when that means your farmers and food manufacturers have the "freedom" to bend you over because you have no regulation at all to protect the consumer, I'm not sure that's the kind of freedom you want to celebrate. 

     

    Everything is rammed full of sugar, salt, preservatives and **** knows what else. Even just their bread is disgusting, it's like eating cake. It's produce for a country that has free health care and, oops. 

     

    As someone who had the misfortune to live and work in America for 4 years, I can't agree more with the above.  The food in the supermarkets is nauseatingly bad.

    I really didn't think this would be an unpopular opinion but the amount I've heard about it I'm starting to think otherwise:

     

    I don't give a shit about hydration breaks in football. It's hot out there, it's for player welfare, it pauses the game for like a couple of minutes. It's not a big problem. 

     

    Use the time to go for a piss, get a drink, check your phone. It's not the end of the world and it really isn't killing the intensity of the game, that's a really stupid claim.

    Some interesting charts and analysis in this article about the economic and other impacts of Brexit for the UK (not a long or over-complex article):

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/14/how-uk-economy-changed-since-brexit-vote-charts

     

    For those without the time or inclination to read it, main points.....

    - Claims that Brexit would cause an immediate recession & unemployment were wrong

    - Almost every other prediction of long-term economic damage has proven correct: value of Sterling; growth compared to similar nations; trade in goods; investment & employment all significantly damaged

    - Trade in services is an exception: UK trade in services has slightly outperformed other G7 nations since Brexit - whereas UK trade in goods has performed much worse. The OBS reckons this is because Boris' Brexit deal created a lot of friction for goods but little for services, so the City of London & big finance has done well, whereas industry, SME manufacturers & farmers have been damaged

    - Net migration shows more EU citizens leaving than arriving in the past 4 years, but there was a massive surge in non-EU immigration post-Brexit (almost 1m in 2022-23). This happened under Brexit general Boris (& the brief lettuce regime), started to fall in Sunak's last year and has fallen by about 80% since then

    - Since 2021 (end of transition period), an ever greater percentage of people believe Brexit was a mistake: currently about 58%-31%

     

    For those who might suspect The Guardian of bias, the sources for the report seem highly credible: ONS, OECD, G7 & OBS, as well as the authors own statistical modelling.

    Can’t put a number on taking back control mate.

    Because all the labour, modelling, testing, investment and technology that went into to this was only American right?

     

    Maybe we should have done this with the ARM processor once we realised it started to get popular and could have been a threat by non UK nationals.

    Should have blocked the takeover of Deepmind too
