My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

I was extremely wary of Keir Starmer becoming Prime Minister, and overall had pretty low expectations, but gosh darn it if he hasnāt managed to limbo right under that bar. So frustrating the ātalentā most likely to replace him is Wes Streeting.

Really has been a lost 4 years for Kalvin, hasnāt it. From being virtually the first name on the team sheet for England and playing the Euros final, but money move to City, to on loan at Sheffield United. Such a shame how his best years have been wasted.

For all the doom mongering weāve only lost 2 in the last 14 (to Arsenal and Newcastle no less) and a win on Friday sees us go equal on points with Palace in 14th and 9 clear of the relegation zone.

Indeed. Itās extremely dispiriting to see a Labour chancellor forward this populist argument about taxation. Particularly when she knows it is, ultimately, a lie.

Exactly this. We should have been playing with wingers and a second striker (Nmecha) after 20 minutes of that second half.

Reformās messaging (such as it is) so far has been primarily anti-establishment. Tricky to continue doing that when the party is increasingly made up of former Tory ministers responsible for the failure theyāre setting themselves up against.

I assume the idea here is to protect Keir Starmer, but surely all it does is make him look scared and weak?

Aside from the fact that it makes them look stupid, I donāt know why they wouldnāt just go with Solskjaer again. He was (I admit begrudgingly) actually doing a decent job last time around until they signed the old man who used to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Interesting to see how the team lines up with no recognisable full backs. Could even be a 2 or a 3 at the back as well.

If we werenāt coming off Liverpool away with two fewer days rest, I actually think weād have a decent chance against Man U at Elland Road. The league/TV scheduling has ruined what could have been a great game imo.
