Briefly flicked on Talkshite in the car to see if there was any cricket coverage. The first thing I heard was Matterface referring to his copresenters as ‘Crookmiester’ and ‘Million Dollar Minto’ and now I want to drive head on in to a HGV.

Shite news that about Mani. He was one of the good ones.

Christ!!!

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Has Pep coached the skill and expression out of Doku yet? 🤨

Always a good sign when 3 of your players put in their best performance for the club. Doku, Nico G and Nunes 👏

Matheus Nunes is in danger of becoming a very effective right full back. I for one am stunned.

Enemy territory

A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Completely inconsequential, but where the hell did 7 minutes of injury time come from today?

Arsenal rushing around like they have to win this game to win the league is exactly their problem.

Savlon melts your skin off.

Happy 36th anniversary to those who celebrate. Chance at the far post….

🔴 NEW - Why you should leave X Here’s the sad truth: Twitter no longer exists. X is something else entirely. It’s a megaphone for extremism, controlled by a deranged oligarch. 📝 latest Substack 👇🏻

This statue of JC in Milano Doumo looks like he’s doing his best Liam Gallagher impression.

Who wants to see my bunting?

Feels a bit sad to see the Treble winning squad quietly slipping away. Made worse by the fact their replacements are not of the same quality.

Good to see we’re selling the only defender we have who can competently defend in the right full back position.

I’ve only just realised Grimsby are in League 2.

Hear me out hear…. Kobbie Mainoo. He’d sign as well.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Whilst not one to get carried away… I’ve just booked hotel rooms in Budapest over the Champions League weekend.

Obviously not getting ahead of myself, but, if John Stones can stay fit* we’ll win the fucking lot *he won’t and we won’t.

I didn’t have seeing Mos Def rap My Umi Says along to Can You Feel It on the list of things I thought I would happen yesterday…. But 🔥🔥🔥🔥

One day to go 🪩🕺👐

Derby?

If England’s bowling attack don’t send down yorker after Yorker at Pant they want sacking.

How on earth have I never heard this masterpiece before? open.spotify.com/track/7vClhG...

Test match cricket at its best is by far and away the best sport on earth.

I’d have been disappointed if he didn’t get out for a duck… the nob.

No shit Sherlock!

Can he play right full back?

Looking through my WhatsApp messages from Friday, it’s fair to say that not many people agreed with Stokes decision to put India in.

Well, isn't that convenient.

I’ve just heard an Israeli doctor express his disgust at Iran deliberately targeting a hospital…. With absolutely no irony.

Shout out to the man who helped start the shit show that continues over in Trafford. #horsespunk

Sault / Cleo Sol tickets bagged 🪩🪩🕺🕺

Carnage at Wembley!!!

Smith laying his bias open here. Inter apparently the better side v City a couple of years ago. Watch the game again Rory, they posed zero threat until the death. Also - PSG project somehow more acceptable than City I.E. it doesn’t impact the success of the team he follows. Pathetic.

Does it count as a trophy?

Seriously? Have we already begun to accept such low standards? Yes he improved but in every single game gives the opposition a good opportunity to score. If we can get rid, great. If not we need a right back and he can be back up.

Is there something in the water in Old Trafford? Lancs are as bad as the lot down Warwick Road

Jim Ratcliffe was a massive Brexit supporter. He’s no hypocrite. At the first real opportunity he had, he took Man United out of Europe. Fair play.

Turns out Jim Ratcliffe is as good at owning football clubs as he was at understading Brexit.
