That's been on the local news up here for months, I forgot the sentencing was yesterday. The fact that the stiffest sentence any of them got was 5 years, which they won't serve is an utter abomination.
There was a video of the wife being interviewed by the local news and her being verbally abused by (presumably) the families of these hideous creatures. I'll see if I can find it. EDIT - here is it http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/154...f_convicted_men_outside_Basildon_Crown_Court/People should NOT have to go to watch their football team and end up in a wheelchair.

The second was the BBC having a massive hard-on for Lukaku to Man U where it seemed every second article was either about the pending move or the move itself. I thought the BBC were supposed to be unbiased?
Think that's more politics. Be interesting to see what happened if Lukaku ran for PM

There's an interesting comparison in language and coverage when discussing huge transfers across Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City. Basically, Utd and Liverpool in particular get lauded for flexing their financial muscles - 'they get their man, statement of intent etc', while City get derided with 'game's gone' rhetoric.
Interesting to see what happens with Liverpool and Keita. £70m for a guy with one season in a top level European league, and all the coverage is positive.

On the subject of the BBC and football, I see Shearer trousers about £450K annually, for his terrible punditry on MotD, that's our money right there. At least Lineker is competent.

The Sanchez/Arsenal saga is interesting. Sanchez has 1 year left on his contract, wants to leave and Wenger could easily get 50M for him. Rather than sell, Wenger is willing to take the risk on him leaving on a free at the end of next season because the club believe they will loose more than 50M without him over the next season, be it on shirt sales, cup, league progression, revenue etc.

Shearer: "Well Sanchez had a shot, if it went in it would have been a goal" Shearer: "That keeper made a save and without that save it would have been a goal" Yep I concur.

Dullness and barely lucid monotones do seem to proliferate football tv punditry in the main. The list of dullards is endless, but then few ex footballers have the intelligence to string a mildy coherent sentence together it would seem.

This has nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her being a knobhead.
