WTF, this is Brands Defence Barrister. Not exactly the way a KC should act. Surely this is a matter for the Bar Standards Board.

For a club with no history, we've made a lot of history. #Readingfc

A 40-year-old record yet to be beaten 👏
Following Man City's defeat at Aston Villa, our record of 13 straight wins since the start of the season set in the 1985/86 season is safe for another year. 💙
To go with our @byfargreatestfc podcast on Reading with @CouchPundito and @Steve1871 I've written a piece about that remarkable Reading 106 team and why they are so much lovable than the Birmingham 111 team that beats their record byfarthegreatestteam.substac…

Fab pod, guys. Seems #itfc boss Joe Royle concurred with @Steve1871’s comment that #Readingfc took Town “to the cleaners” in that 3-0 win at PR: “They took hold of the game in the first minute and never let go of it until the 90th minute…they were too good for us” cc @HertsRoyal
@CouchPundito Had a lot of fun with @Steve1871 on latest @byfargreatestfc #football #podcast reliving the Reading 106 team that ran away with the Championship in 2005/06 and just missed out on European place in their first ever season in the top flight

@CouchPundito We were joined by @Steve1871 on this week's @byfargreatestfc #football #podcast to look at Steve Coppell's Reading 106 team. While it should have been difficult for me to enjoy our Thames Valley rivals glory moment, this was a lot of fun

Glad to see the record-breaking @readingfc 106 team finally recognised in this excellent podcast series: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Completely agree. Let’s relegate Sham City to the National League and let bygones be bygones.
At this point, I think the Premier League should just sit down with Manchester City and find a way to resolve this whole situation.
Let the charges go, let Manchester City and our owners move forward, and let the UAE continue investing in the UK.
If this dispute ends up affecting billions in investments, thousands of businesses and countless jobs, what exactly have we achieved?
Let City keep investing. Let the Premier League protect its interests. Let everyone move forward.
Sometimes justice should come with a little mercy.

If I was innocent but convicted of an offence, I’d appeal at the first opportunity. Sham City have known of their guilty verdicts since July. Why wait, unless your only aim is needlessly string it out? #mcfc

There was a time when a US President advocating a united Ireland would have been dynamite — dominating the news cycle for days/weeks. But it’s Trump. He spouts drivel all the time. Nobody much cares. Nobody takes much notice. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He’ll be saying the opposite in a week. A lame duck President after November. And gone in two years+. So most folks just rightly ignore him.

🇺🇸Trump: "We want to have good relationships with Russia"
🇺🇸Reporter: "Russia is not our ally"
🇺🇸Trump: "They are, Putin is my friend"
🇺🇸Reporter: "What about Canada, they stood with us for decades"
🇺🇸Trump: "They are nasty people"
🇺🇸Reporter: "So now Russians are good and Canadians are nasty?"
🇺🇸Trump: "Yes, next question please"
🇵🇱 Polish PM Tusk was absolutely right that Trump is Moscow's asset
