Next weekend is the 5th time Newcastle will be the 5:30pm kick off on a Saturday which coincidentally is prime time in the evening in Saudi Arabia….

Last time I looked we played in a place called Emirates Stadium. We also sold our soul to the TV networks years ago. Therefore I’m not sure I will join your outrage on this one.

Why did sheff Utd play in a light grey kit with red socks when their away kit is yellow shirts and socks. Just seemed an unnecessary clash

I find the problems at Man U absolutely hilarious, and those who are on tv and love Man U even more hilarious as they try to make sense of it and shift blame from one thing to the next - except Neville who only ever blames the Glazers...

Yes, it is cheering to see United struggle, just as it was when Liverpool failed to win the league for a generation after having previously been so dominant. I have always liked City a lot since my short time in Manchester in the late 60s, when seeing Bell, Summerbee and Lee etc was wonderful. At the moment I enjoy their deserved success - second to them is not the worst position for us to be in - but I am beginning to get weary of all the money they have. I can see me soon putting them in the United/Chelsea category. Their domestic dominance is not good.

Now ten hag is saying it was never the plan to play nice attacking passing football as he did at Ajax, he’s going to play direct because that’s the players he has, particularly in attack. I must have forgotten the part where he was handed £400m to build a team in the image he wanted, wasting £100m of that on 2 previously world class players who would go down hill in their form quite quickly.

Heard Keane saying Bruno Fernandes is the exact opposite of what he’d look for in a captain. They have a serious lack of leaders and captain options there. Makes me think back to days when Arsenals team felt like that

Saw this the other day and found it quite entertaining

thing is they can moan about the Glazers as much as you want but if you are doing stuff like signing A 30 year old casemiro for 80 million quid then the coaches and manager need to be held to account,

Anthony ? i mean who scouted him ?

sancho, paid a fortune for a player nobody else wanted,

Some of this stuff has to fall on Ten Bags too.

Bit worried about kiwi, I thought he'd be having plenty to say about the rugby.

Hope he's ok.

Pot Kettle Black.

Iirc you were calling for more lockdowns, derided the Swedish success and supported Sir Kiers demands for longer lockdowns .

Boris on the other hand was calling for no more lockdowns after the first.

I know who I'd support and who I would like to be punished for being stupid.

Partey likely out until december

I do hope he recovers in time for the African Cup of Nations.

haha i forgot you made a complete div of yourself during that.

Selective memory. I was right and you were completely wrong. 2 main differences I said the experts were wrong you said they were to be followed without question.
Secondly I said we should follow the Swedish experts you said not to.

If anyone is a div it's you.

What is the report about? I don't have time to check, but from the headlines is seems to be about how incompetent, dishonest, and callous the Tory government was, rather than about experts being wrong?

Most people agree Boris did a good job and was proven right for having his doubts about Lock downs.

Sorry Chris, but all with dues and stuff, Boris is a bumbling self-serving tosser who thinks he’s Churchill; the only thing he shares with Winnie though is a deep-seated desire to be liked. Boris is not a deep thinker and holds no strong policy views; he also has a very limited attention span. He doesn’t do detail and he has consistently shied away from the difficult decisions, the unpopular edicts, the hard line - and anything that might make him less loveable.

It’s pretty clear now that up until a few weeks ago, Boris’s government WAS collectively implementing the ‘herd immunity’ strategy which would allow, perhaps encourage 40,000,000 of us to become infected early-on with the clear understanding that 1-2% of that number who were OAPs would die: Cummings’ line was “too bad”. When the evidence from Italy suggested that because more than 20% of that ‘too bad’ death group would inconveniently need serious Intensive Care before they died, Imperial College pointed out that our NHS would be entirely overwhelmed. They knew all this at least 3-4 weeks ago, probably more, and that’s when they changed tack.

Being abroad and watching rolling news channels from BBC and the American Channels from 8th March onwards, the way this was panning out was pretty bleeding obvious to me and I sent all my guys to work from home on 8th March. Home thoughts from abroad! That’s when this country should have been locked down – more than two weeks ago. Boris knew all about the realities long before me. And we are STILL are not locked down. Building sites are still working, tubes still rammed and many many employees are still required to attend their workplace. Boris is still saying ‘should stay at home’ when he needs to be saying ‘legally required to stay home’ or more appropriately ‘COMMANDED ON PAIN OF IMPRISONMENT’ to stay at home. Nobody believes him because he's told so many bare-faced lies and evaded so many personal background issues. Simple one: how many children have you got, Boris? Nobody takes him seriously.

Lastly, there’s been there’s been widespread condemnation of the public’s proclivity to hoard at the expense of their fellow citizen – to get it in early to ease their lives and budgets later. All they were trying to do was to get ahead of the curve. How is that different from a government who originally wanted to sacrifice the elderly and get the dying done early in order to ease the pressure on the economy and free up capacity for later?
