In one thing where i was debating with vesper is that often times when you read an article it will be highly bias. They tend to take one word or phrase to build their entire teaching. For example I been doing some more further research on what Kirk believe in Immigration just by listening to his word, in context, with no cuts and all that nonsenese that Journos and people do. And it came out a very thought out process. From 14:03 to 24:40 he gives a detail response as to his view on immigration. And I have to say my man gives a thoughtful view. I still don't agree with his point of view with immigration but this is much smarter then labels he got thrown as xenophobic and what not. That's why I tend to be very skeptical with articles and what not as they tend to have a bias and choose and pick what they want.

In the summer transfer window, Juventus considered the possibility of signing Emanuel Emegha. In the Premier League, there was interest from Aston. And then from Champions League club Bayern Munich.

Spanish PM calls for Israel to be barred from international sport Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for Israel to be excluded from international sports competitions over its actions in Gaza. "Israel cannot continue to use any international platform to whitewash its image," Earlier in the day, Sánchez had said that previous protests during the three-week race had shown that Spain "shines as an example, with pride" on the Gaza issue. Several Spanish government ministers also praised the final stage protest, which involved about 100,000 people, according to official figures. "It's a relief to me that thousands and thousands of people mobilise against that genocide, because it is genocide and it has no other name," said Óscar López, the minister of digital transformation. Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun also said Israel should not take part in the next Eurovision Song Contest, repeating calls made by Sánchez earlier this year. "We have to make sure that Israel does not take part in the next Eurovision," Urtasun said. The public broadcasters of Ireland and the Netherlands have already said they will not participate if Israel is included in the contest, because of the "appalling" and "severe" loss of lives and human suffering in Gaza. A recent poll by the Elcano Royal Institute think tank indicated at least 82% of Spaniards believe genocide is being committed in Gaza. Two days after Sánchez's announcement, the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, called for a suspension of free trade and bilateral support with Israel, as she spoke of the "man-made famine" in Gaza. Von der Leyen also lamented what she called Europe's "painful" inability to find an adequate response to Israel's actions. Israel controls all border crossings into the Gaza Strip, and as the occupying power bears responsibility for protecting civilian life under international law, which includes the prevention of starvation.

This whole Strasbourg not going to end well me thinks. Fans in france are very vocal and passionate. Similar to owning a club in Germany, not going to fare well. I wonder if it would have worked better in Portugal? Or some other league like in Belgium?

Emanuel Emegha’s move to Chelsea provokes fresh fury at Strasbourg The team is climbing up the Ligue 1 table but fans are sick of being treated like ‘pawns’ by the Chelsea owners By Get French Football News Luke Entwistle Mon 15 Sep 2025 11.04 EDT Share Strasbourg are a club torn between inertia and evolution. Change is visible all around the Meinau: in its recently developed stands and on the pitch where, in two years, they have gone from perennial relegation strugglers to Champions League candidates. The motor for change was BlueCo’s purchase of the club in 2023. The takeover was met with stout opposition and the team’s upward trajectory since has done little to remould public opinion. “I feel like we are back at the beginning. I am so disappointed with the reaction,” complained Liam Rosenior on Sunday, exasperated by the latest fan protests. You needn’t scratch too much to uncover the resentment that bubbles beneath the surface of the Meinau. The 15-minute strike, where the club’s ultras remain silent at the start of matches, is now just a common feature of Strasbourg fixtures, and you are never more than a few weeks away from a lengthy and often explosive supporters group communique denouncing some facet of the management of the club. BlueCo have always been the target of the fans’ ire – and that remains the case – but recent protests have also seen other figures caught in the crossfire. Marc Keller, who played for Strasbourg in the 1990s and came to the club’s rescue when it went bankrupt in the early 2010s, is the latest target. He built the club back up from the amateur divisions but fans are furious that he sold up to BlueCo. Strasbourg’s supporters federation called for him to “face his responsibilities” and leave before their match against Le Havre on Sunday. “We will never accept what Marc Keller has done to the club by selling to BlueCo,” read the statement. And what the club has become is acquiescent. What Chelsea want, Chelsea get. Ben Chilwell hardly fits the team’s needs but that is largely irrelevant to BlueCo given their extensive portfolio of players. He needed a new club and interest wasn’t forthcoming, so Chelsea sent him to Strasbourg to join Mathis Amougou and Diego Moreira, who have also made the same move in recent seasons. Chilwell made his debut in the 1-0 win over Le Havre. He was hooked at half-time. View image in fullscreen Ben Chilwell had a forgettable Strasbourg debut. Photograph: Icon Sport/Getty Images Strasbourg fans are unimpressed by BlueCo’s opaque dealings and asset juggling. Ishé Samuels-Smith joined Strasbourg from Chelsea on a permanent deal this summer before returning to Stamford Bridge and then being sent out on loan to Swansea City – all within the same window. “They’re taking us for fools,” read a banner unfurled by the Strasbourg fans in response to the saga. A more disparaging banner was reserved for Emanuel Emegha, who will move to Chelsea next summer. The power dynamics within the BlueCo “family” mean that Chelsea get the pick of the crop. Emegha scored 14 league goals last season and was handed the captain’s armband over the summer, but he is now preparing to move to Stamford Bridge. The announcement of the deal was not well received in Alsace. “Emegha, pawn of BlueCo, after changing shirts, hand back your captain’s armband,” read a banner. Rosenior said that Emegha was “devastated” by the banner. “I don’t know why they want him to leave straight away,” added Moreira. “OK, he has signed for Chelsea, but he is still here.” Emegha’s insistence that he is “100% focused on Strasbourg until the end of the season” has not appeased fans. However, that he remains in France at all this season is a testament to Strasbourg’s newfound exceptionalism. While the financial realities of French football force others to sell, Strasbourg are able to retain their assets and resist even the advances of “top European clubs that play in the Champions League” – as revealed by Emegha himself. View image in fullscreen Strasbourg fans express their fury with Emegha. Photograph: Icon Sport/Getty Images Having brought in 18 players this summer for a combined €110m, making them the top spenders in Ligue 1, above even PSG, Strasbourg are now the envy of French clubs. And yet, despite joining the elite, fans are reminiscent of the times of hardship, of relegation struggles and financial worries. Rosenior pleaded for fans to applaud his players after a hard-fought win against Le Havre; he was met with hostility, boos and jeers. “Please, please,” he shouted, but the Englishman cut the image of a man fighting a hopeless battle. The win, secured through Joaquín Panichelli’s late penalty, takes them up to fifth in Ligue 1 and level on points with third-placed Monaco. Having finished seventh last season, their performances so far this campaign suggest they will be in the race for a Champions League place. It would be quite the achievement but, for many Strasbourg fans, it still won’t be enough. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/sep/15/emanuel-emegha-Chelsea-fresh-fury-strasbourg-ligue-1

The shooter ? yeah maybe. His dad a staunch Republican dobbed him in apparently.

Yes I did saw a debate about this with him an a femmnist. He did believe in that patriarchy vs the feminist movement. Could be or could not. We will never know unless she spoke about it and if her husband did talk to her about that. At this time just pure speculation. We don't know and have nothing concrete. My speculation is just a general guy that killed him, nothing deep secret conspiracy theory about it. It was a guy that grew up in a conservative life but as he grew up he differed from the views from his family and he got a hatred for Kirk as a fascist pig. Just a normal guy gone crazy with a vendetta for me.

Because of his patriarchy, I think his wife was a stay at home stereotype little wife role - he spoke of women should behave like that. Could be wrong though

So looking at the line up we have what James out? Hato was bought for lb cover Levi is still injured, so let’s say the bad team was that Reece didn’t start, still had our midfield and our attack was pretty much what our board intended it to be par palmer as he wasn’t 100% and we could have done with resting him, again this is what cover is for or am I getting this wrong? So blaming the line up your essentially saying because James didn’t play. This loss was not because James didn’t start, this loss is because we are shit at defending balls over the top and have been for a while, Brentford looked at our weakness and it worked, James or no James the plan would have still been the same and most likely it would have worked. If you score two goals in a game and either lose or draw then that’s on the defence, the attack has done its job.

I don't believe that our record with marquee signings is anything to write home about. Buying names is no substitute for good judgement. Sign good players and no one will care what their name is. Sign a bad player with a big name and no one will forgive the club in a hurry.

Interesting, the only problem is that Epstein is dead so we couldn't question about this connectiong as a Mossad agent. But if Kirk was aware of that I'm sure his wife would know...... People can always question his now widow wife in the future about this. If she did know something, did his husband mentioned anything about this?

When the links first surfaced there was a report that he wasn't interested. Fair enough.

Yeah agree he was given millions of dollars by Israel to found TP. You're right he was very pro Isarel, but he was starting to change. Not in his support for Isarel, but in just calling it how it is. He was mentioning Epstein as Mossad and Oct 7th 2023 how the border troops were ordered to stand down - he was going the way of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

Fofana being selected from the off was bizarre but them Maresca talks about managing others minutes

I would like to see more info about this. Because every time I heard Kirk debate he would defend Israel. In one debate I put where he was at Cambridge posted 3 months ago he was defending Israel, here from 52:30 and on:

Haha Youtube have deleted the bit in an interview where Kirk said he had evidence Israel stood down on Oct 7th 2023 Like we were saying with @Fernando - ''we love free speech, as long as you dont disagree with us'' Left and right both guilty So with Youtube deleting anything Kirk said that they dont agree with we have to ask who owns these social media cesspits ?

fofana was a horrible choice He needed to play gusto at first half and then substitute for reece

Chelsea https://thedailybriefing.io/i/173635710/Chelsea Chelsea had a £70m bid for Juventus striker Kenan Yildiz rejected over the summer, with the Italian side hoping to tie the 20-year-old Turkey international down to a long-term contract. (Calciomercato) Enzo Maresca confirms Marc Guiu out was his decision and no injury: “We know Marc from last year. But in this moment, one of them was out from the squad…I wanted to give George a bit confidence. Against Fulham, he did well and he was okay. The season is so long”. Chelsea, Everton and Brighton have all made contact with Barcelona over teenage midfielder Marc Bernal. (Mundo Deportivo)

Fermín on Chelsea proposal: “I never had any doubts about staying at Barcelona. There were speculations, but in the end I always wanted to stay here. And I will fight to stay here for many years!”.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cq5jl744pwpo Why will September international break be longer from 2026? ByJonty Colman BBC Sport journalist Published 10 September 2025 September international breaks are getting longer from 2026, in a move that will bring the disappearance of the October international break. The change is being made for a number of reasons. These include the 2026 World Cup final having the latest date for a summer World Cup since 1966, with the match due to be played on 19 July. Player welfare also featured in the discussions that took place with stakeholders and all Fifa's confederations prior to approval. Travel considerations are a factor in the change. The reduction in breaks will reduce the number of journeys where players from one continent have to travel to another for their international fixtures - such as African or South American players who play their domestic football in Europe and have to travel cross-continent to fulfil international fixtures. There are currently five international breaks each year, lasting two weeks each - in March, June, September, October and November. Each break means there is no league football in the top divisions for two weeks as countries play two matches each. There are some exceptions, such as when there is a major tournament like the World Cup, Africa Cup of Nations or European Championship. Starting next year, there will instead be an increased September break, with no October break and a regular November break. There will be a three-week gap for domestic matches in September and countries will play four international matches instead of two. The move to switch to an extended September break was approved by the Fifa Council in March 2023. The council is made up of representatives from all six Fifa confederations and is discussed with football stakeholders prior to making and approving changes. While the September break is getting longer, the removal of the October break means that in total, one week fewer in the domestic season is lost to international fixtures.

John Terry wants to see Chelsea make marquee signings again Terry with some very interesting comments indeed https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/john-terry-wants-to-see-Chelsea-make I find it even more interesting reading comments from John Terry or hearing him speaking about Chelsea these days because he works for the club still. He’s still got a role within the academy so he will always need to be a little bit careful with what he says. So it intrigued me even more to hear him telling the club to start making some marquee signings again, and this is something that I know many of us agree with. I don’t think anyone would want the club to rip up the script fully and change back to the Roman Abramovich days of making marquee signings - because there has proven to be many positives in the way we recruit at the moment as well as negatives. However, and what I hope Terry means by his comments below, we all want to see more balance with our recruitment. This summer would have been the perfect time to do that by adding a big name in goal and at the back, it would have solved one issue that keeps coming up. “We're officially the best team in the world so we're happy with that,” Terry joked on talkSPORT late last week. “I don’t want too much pressure on the boys because we are a young squad. “With this year and with the experience of pushing the other teams close I think we have a chance to be up there and we should be because we’re Chelsea. “I think any top side or any young and experienced player going into the season saying, 'We can’t win it,' shouldn’t be playing at the top level. “So I think every Chelsea player should believe we can go and win it. “Do I think we will? No, I don’t being honest with you but I think we’ll be right amongst it and I think we should be.” Asked how Chelsea can leapfrog Liverpool and win their first Premier League title since 2017, Terry said: “I’d love to see us in the mix for big signings if we want to be back to our very best and at the top winning Premier Leagues year after year. “I think the only thing we’re missing at the moment is those marquee signings.” “[This Season], I think Liverpool are the strongest side,” he added. “I think Manchester City have shown vulnerability again this season. “I’m not sure Chelsea have enough experience within their squad to push them.” So once again, Terry is mentioning a lack of experience and big names within the squad. As you know, I mostly agree with the captain, leader, legend here. What about you? Terry also went on to speak on Enzo Maresca and how he rates him. “I’ve been very impressed with him to be honest. He’s very inviting with me as I’m obviously working in the academy,” Terry revealed. “I get to see him work and he’s very personal with the players. “I think the biggest thing for any manager this year is being close to the players and he seems to have a really good connection with the younger players. “He’s very young himself. He understands the players, he understands what they want and he’s certainly getting the best out of them at the moment.”

Don't know what to expect in all honesty, as I have no clue what random line up Maresca will choose

Bayern is attacking team which suits us. So I expect us to score, maybe even a few. How we'll perform defensively is different question. I think Gusto will start, in fact maybe same lineup as final against PSG minus Colwill.
