The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

@julienlaurens.bsky.social LAURENS IS BACK BABY. I’m sure they pay well but Sky is beneath you man. They were having a debate about whether or not Arteta was ‘the don’ last week. They weren’t even joking. Come back home to the Europod.
