I don’t really think it’s fair for Travis Head to play cricket when the other 21 players have forgotten how. #theashes

It’s as if, instead of creating “a better mousetrap, they invented a cat,”

One of my favourite ever Manchester United goals. In a preseason friendly vs Juventus in 2003. The finish is deadly but the pass from Veron - oof 🤌🏽🤌🏽

This is because of the reservoir effect, in which aquatic animals consume or make shells from ancient carbon from the deep ocean or from old calcium carbonate, making their own carbon seem older than it really is. This old carbon then has a similar effect on the bones of whoever eats it.

He's the prime contender right now🤩 #MUFC #PremierLeague #ManchesterUnited

On the occasion of the 15th-year reissue of my first book, I rambled a little on my Substack about its fortuitous backstory: samanth.substack.com/p/multi-stor...

I love learning something new, and, of course, music history is not an exception. I'd like to dive into the topic of electric guitar history. The topic for today is Rickenbacker Frying Pan. More in the thread 👇 #history #indierock #blueskymusic #MusicSky #indiemusic #musiciansky #originalmusic

To those of you who are slating Sesko, who’s been with us for four months… He scored 2 PL goals, the mighty Salah has 4. And Ekitike has 3. Just a little perspective on things. Give the lad some time before crushing his spirit.

Matthijs de Ligt has quietly been emerging as one of Manchester United’s most important players. @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social on the Dutch defender's form — and the continuing conundrums of Ruben Amorim's team that came to the fore in the topsy-turvy draw in North London ⬇️

Great to see Hindustan Times feature our symposium in Bangalore on antibiotic resistance. When it comes to solutions, India is ready to lead. Super piece www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/ar...

Huge win for the ecology of #Pune, though other such destructive projects need to be stopped as well. www.freepressjournal.in/pune/pune-pm...

Interesting development here regarding Vinicius Jr., apologising to everyone bar Alonso. A clear "f**k you" in the social media age, I suppose. As usual, his shenanigans are ascribed to the usual suspect - passion 🤦🏽‍♂️ www.espn.in/football/sto...

Some words on yesterday’s win over Brighton. #MUFC open.substack.com/pub/sensible...

Yup. Momentum is the key.

What a wild read this was, via @arstechnica.com arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Manchester United are three points off second place and six off top after playing Arsenal, City, Chelsea, and Liverpool in the opening eight fixtures.

Harry Maguire knows what it is like to be scrutinised at Manchester United. He has fully established his own redemption arc now. On Sunday at Anfield, did he kickstart Ruben Amorim’s reign? 📝 @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

If Senne Lammens had been a dinosaur he’d have tipped that asteroid back into orbit and none of us would be here right now. Makes you think.

Not that small though. First back to back wins, first win at Anfield in 11 years, and they didn’t crumble after the equaliser. I’d say that’s some huge positives.

Whether it's #Amorim or #MUFC, these are rather stupid reasons on offer to not let two players go on loan: www.espn.in/football/sto...

I enjoyed Lammens' debut. I'm delighted he didn't do anything special today. We just want a keeper who is a steady Eddie who isn't going to do something stupid at any moment. Lammens really did fit that bill today*.

Forget Mount Rushmore, we have Mount Sesko 😁

“Laughs, thinking of poor Reuben Amorim”.

(comic) Burn bridges or play nice?

Well, this is dreadful jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o...

With the kind of seasons, teammates and support he’s had at #MUFC, can’t help feel relieved and happy for Højlund. He’s just 22 and deserves to discover the joy of the game again.

Interesting: seeing #MUFC players uniformly saying poor results are on them. Usually there’s some rat whispering about dressing room tensions. Oh and screw Carragher and his opinions. A Liverpool player wanting what’s best for United is unbelievable.

(comic) Participate in the upside

If Xavi can get a tune out of this broken guitar of a team, it’ll be one of the finest coaching efforts ever. Things are that dire at #MUFC. But I feel like this is just a way to get more clicks out of the club’s name.

There are bigger longstanding issues as to why United can’t beat Brentford away and they shouldn’t be relying on refereeing calls, but it doesn’t change the fact this should’ve been a red card and would’ve changed the outcome of the game had it been given. Appalling.

In typica fashion, #MUFC struggling with goalkeeping issues and Henderson having a worldie in the Palace game.

I'm all for patience but this is an undeniably abysmal record. Whether it's on RA (or past managers), or the players, their attitudes, energy, or WHATEVER, I hope #MUFC's consistent issues do not see them relegated (just look at the form). Also, Bruno is a great player; not a great captain.

🤣😭

How can the team look so low on energy when they only play one game a week?
