@phil8599 @R_o_M Only issue with the excellent graphic is that Michael Owen formed part of the ‘replacement’ package for Ronaldo in 09… on a free, a wing & a prayer… #value #NQAT

Macheda was already at United

Remember when this lot used to say Manchester was blue and everyone outside of Manchester believed them? 😂😂 They’re in a title race and their tickets for the penultimate home game of the season are on GENERAL SALE with 3 tickets each. 1000s still available. The game’s tomorrow.

🔥 Peter Kyle tells me Andy Burnham should keep his promises - and stick to Manchester

“The reason that Andy is not in Westminster is not because of Keir Starmer, it’s because of the decision that Andy took to leave Westminster in the first place. He chose to go back to Manchester. He made a set of promises to the people of Manchester, one of which was recently where he said he would serve out his time there as mayor.

I think these sorts of promises are really important. What we mustn't do is make this all about one person and put all of our hopes and dreams into one person that can come and save us. I think we can realise now that leadership is not about just one person, it is about us as a party.

SR: Do you think that's what others are doing? looking at Andy Burnham with idealistic, King across the water vibes?

PK: We need to not repeat the lessons of the Tory party in government, where they went from leader to leader to leader, always thinking that just a change at the top would solve all of their problems.

SR: You said you would answer it directly. So should Andy Burnham be allowed to return to Westminster if he wants to?

PK: I think Andy Burnham left Westminster to go to Manchester and he made a series of promises. I think promises matter.

SR: So he should stay in Manchester?

PK: Promises matter in politics and he should see that promise through.

Fact: Queen Elizabeth II served more time in the military than four generations of the Trump family combined.

[FC United of Manchester 🟥⬜⬛ @FCUnitedMcr]

Manchester United calling this year’s numbers a ‘success’ while cutting hundreds of staff and hiking prices for kids and disabled fans says it all.

Profit means nothing if it’s built on squeezing your own fans. Football clubs should serve their supporters, not exploit them.

[David Rourke @DI_Rourke1144]

@Zonal_Marking Mariappa has only played occasionally since his Saints debut in early November, the club is rather over-egging his status in the squad! (He’s still a very good player, mind.)

[David Rourke @DI_Rourke1144]

@jamiesont It assumes a fair knowledge of the back story, the 1979-1981 period when Springsteen became a big star in the USA & beyond, and the elongated making of the three albums before Nebraska… all of which would be tough to convey in a movie.

Will never be bettered. Everything that used to be great about Manchester United both on and off the pitch was on show that day.
