And remember kids....

The club could get extremely annoyed if its inbox (fancomplaints@avfc.co.uk) is flooded with complaints about this outrage.

So don't do it! ;)

Yes, that would be extremely bad...  ;D

Where have you seen that?

I found this which shows that Wes Edens has connections with Rwanda;

"On their board, they have a board member who’s already invested in Rwanda. So I think they’re very much aware of the country and its ambitions.”

The investor she referred to is American billionaire Wesley "Wes" Edens, whose fortune is estimated at approximately $2.5 billion.

I’m (maybe not) amazed how inaccurate AI can be, literally making shite up it presents with apparent comfidence. Is it all as bad as ChatGPT?

I actually have a bit more sympathy for naive WMP who came up with fictitious fixture/trouble for the Macabbi.
