No one cares less about the working class white girls abused by gangs than the racists who who are barking like pavlovs dogs after the Casey Review

I'm not sure the North-East's regional transport budget should have been spent on this

I couldn't agree more with this, I've been thinking the Club World Cup is the first move in an attempt to create an alternative structure to the failed European Super League
