Watching the news and seeing the amazing turnout for Ricky Hattons funeral brings a tear to the eye. Very happy to his parents and Billy Graham were there too. Along with pretty much everyone in British boxing. Very sad day.

Sunny Jim says he needs three years. The dreaded owners "vote of confidence" after just one year doesn't bode well.

Stick them on a lamppost at a nice just-reachable adult height, but use a bit of super glue so you can enjoy watching a gammon faced moron do his back in trying to rip it off.

I never knew the Hitler youth had a refereeing division.

Words and phrases that are coming back into fashion in football. "Long throw" "Flick on" "Set piece" "Big Number nine" "Moustache" Got to be honest I didn't see that last one coming back.

Today I will mostly be having a flu type virus and lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. The main symptoms are aching muscles and a general feeling of tiredness like I've been covering for Dalot yesterday.

Gnashers super blond hair-do in that Chelsea shirt just reminded me of eidur gudjohnssen. What an excellent footballer he was.

63 mins, mount off. Runs around a lot in the first half, disappears in the second. Have I mentioned this a few dozen times before @bonobobananas.bsky.social ?

Everyone gone quiet eh? Yeah I would have given them that pen too. 🤣

Watching Shaw bringing the ball out from the back is like watching my other half trying to reverse the car onto the drive.

Fuck me, a United keeper making a save, then catching a cross and then a ref telling VAR to fuck off and mind his own business. That's like finding a unicorn with a mermaid sat on its back while it's nibbling on a four leaf clover.

Summat wrong with my telly again. A man united goalie just looked competent on it.

From the Grauniad. Judge grows sense of humour.

Here's one for the data nerds. Stuttgart....Nearly 2/3 possession, 3 times more dangerous attacks, more than double the shots, more shots on target, higher xG. They lost 2-0. The ONLY stat that is consistently 100% reliable is the one in yellow at the top. The rest is bullshit.

Have you ever noticed all the "trending" bluesky topics are always niche American interests? Like "ICE raid" or "Kimmel" or "NFL" Yet I've looked today and can't see "Ryder Cup" trending. I guess getting another ass whupping at golf doesn't interest your average American then? #rydercup #badlosers

I for one am shocked to discover the yanks were completely crass and classless in their Ryder Cup "warm up" planning. I suggest that next time they are here all our spectators dress as Viet Cong and hide in the trees lining the course letting off bangers. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

Loving watching the yanks losing their shit at the Ryder cup because they are getting their arses handed to them.

Fucking hell I thought I was being hard on Amorim! www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Morons who shout "get in the hole" at golf tournaments should be put in a hole. And then fill it in.

Tips for the future for sunny jim; 1. Don't say in public you are sticking with the manager no matter what. 2. If you do, the manager will stick to what he's doing no matter what. 3. If it ain't broke don't fix it. 4 If it's broke, ignore point 3 5 Jam tomorrow isn't jam. It's bullshit.

Let's face it, we've all had a boss like Ruben. Talks the talk in meetings and you can see how he talked his way into the job. But once he's got it, he doesn't actually know how to do it.

New song Ruben Amorim. He's gonna get the sack but when? Stick with him till the bitter end. He's run the ship agrouoound...

Is it my hearing or have man United's away support not given the Amorim song a single airing today? When they stop, you're really in trouble.

Ruben's in game back 3 theory.

Looks like Bruno is having his "time of the month" again.

If you are watching this Brentford game and you still think (not just hope) that Amorim is a successful Manchester United manager in waiting, then you are not to be taken seriously. Regardless of the outcome of this match, which we may still win because we have better players.

Ruben Potter.

starmer is the most inept politician ever to achieve high office. The Tories were useless, but really they were a mafia in it for a few £. But starmer is just fucking hopeless. I bet this idea is dead & buried before bonfire night. #stickyouridcardupyourarse www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'd like to thank everyone for mentioning the word Rapture all day yesterday. Inside my head I've had 24 non stop hours of "fab five Freddy told me everybodys fly...."

I dunno about anyone else but I really don't want to hear ex refs congratulating current refs. Or hear Howard Webb droning on about VAR with Michael owen. You're just refs lads. You are about as important as the corner flags, but less important that Fred the red www.theguardian.com/football/202...

So a nice straightforward, controlled, incident-free, stress-free, regulation home win. Sunny Jim's advice to Amorim must have been "fuck the football shite, just get some luck"

I have to say Reece James is a very good player.

This could end up 8vs8

I'm shit at maths, what's 3-4-3 minus 1?

I fucking knew that was coming.

I fear this is going to be ugly. The legs of caicedo and Fernandes Vs casemiro and Bruno is no contest. Cole Palmer was in superb form the other night and João Pedro up against Maguire could be horrible turning on a wet pitch.

I’ll be heading to the lovely Bridgewater Hall in Manchester October 26th 3pm to talk with the marvellous Roisin Conaty about my memoir. Tix are £40 which is reasonable as it includes the book. Hope to see you there! 🤗♥️📚🐝

I assume this a reference to the "Chelsea rent boys" chant? Since these days the only people who can afford a season ticket at Stamford Bridge are property owning private landlords, it's just kept up with the times hasn't it?

🧵 So following on from @maritstensby.bsky.social bumping into Ole on a flight .. I met Ole once briefly. I'd organised a five a side football comp at Carrington for Red Issue and since united kindly let us use the facilities for free we decided to do a charity fundraiser. We raised about £1500....

Fucking hell Marcus. 😲

I'm excited to part of this project! @sentimentbot.bsky.social

To be honest that took longer than I thought it would. Two people who I wouldn't ask to wash my car because it would be 10 minutes washing and three hours of announcements and press conferences. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why bother winning anything when you can just put prices up? www.theguardian.com/football/202...

City's new goalie doesn't look anything like the old photos I found online. "Ooh.... I fill gloves, I fill gloves, I fill gloves, I fill gloves I fiiiiil gloves."

Every time I think Athletic club can't impress me any more they prove me wrong.

Just had my diabetic eye test where they put drops in your eyes to make your pupils dilate. This is also what mine do whenever Dalot is on the team sheet.

This scene is a perfect response to anyone who may happen to ask "Why do you love movies so much?"❤️💔 #RobertRedford #RIP

Sad to hear Robert Redford is no more. Proper dude. Might watch "All the presidents men" again later.... for about the 15th time. Handsome bastard as well.

Amorim's 343... Serious question. Can anybody name a team playing 343 that's ever won; 1 Premier League 2 FA Cup 3 League Cup 4 Champions League 5 Europa League 6 Europe consolation league Because those are the only competitions we can be in. #notsmartifyoukeeplosing

I'm getting a banner made "ineos outeos"
