@UnitedStandMUFC Let’s hope he has a decent World Cup and then we can sell them to someone else for more money. He’s worth 50 million in today’s market. My concern is why don’t Barcelona want to buy him? Is there something we don’t know?

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

Same old arsenal…

[Scott Saunders @__scottsaunders]

First day of the season. Just as a reminder.

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@_UtdCharlie I think Mcquire should be in the top five before Dalot?

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@traceynev What did he expect? Is he that conceited and out of touch with the general
Public that he thought his “white middle aged men” rant wasn’t going to cause people to be outraged by it??

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@Malachians Well bloody said!

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@Mufcfaninspain @jayneb64 That’s because even people from war torn shitholes wouldn’t live in Liverpool!

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@Mohqoshin He needs to say “bro” more often!

[Stretford Post @StretfordPost]

Spot on! 😂

[Sam Pilger @sampilger]

Scholes and Butt owe Lisandro Martinez an apology. Laughed at him before the game but he was immense, kept a clean sheet and kept Erling Haaland so quiet he finished the game on the bench.

[LolaElise @LoEl81]

Firstly, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Nicky Butt, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville etc, are some of my favourite ever players.

But please lads, just shut the f*^k up.
You are part of the problem now.

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Oh look, more unhelpful 'criticism' from an ex-player.

It's not even criticism, it is totally disrespectful & insulting towards a current Manchester United player. Nevermind that Lisandro Martinez has an excellent record against Erling Haaland - like in the FA Cup Final.

This is lazy & pathetic, it is why fans are increasingly sick of the tripe served up from pundits living off past glories & are moving towards fan-led coverage from people who actually do the work.

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@FrankEra_ Disappointing from Butty, he’s better than this. I’m sure on reflection he will regret this comment. A fit Martinez is a great player.

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@FKiernan5 The centre half position is much easier now because they’re only ever playing against one centre forward!!

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@CyclingKent101 @Joey7Barton @GNev2 Youve spelt Kent wrong mate!

How Sir Lenny Henry Turns History into a £18 Trillion Bill

Some people think they can say anything about Britain and pay no price. Sir Lenny Henry just did. At the Cheltenham Literature Festival, while promoting his new book, he declared that "all black British people" should be handed £18 trillion in slavery reparations. Not a slip, not a joke - a straight demand. It shows how easy it's become for public figures to sneer at Britain, rewrite its story, and call for impossible pay-offs with no thought for truth or consequence.

The trick is well-worn. Britain's history is stripped of everything but sin. Forget that this country became the first great power to outlaw the slave trade in 1807. Forget the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron, which spent half a century and £20 million intercepting slave ships and freeing 150,000 Africans at huge cost in lives. Forget that British taxpayers carried the financial burden of abolition until 2015. All of it erased, because the goal isn't truth - it's guilt.

This is the Left's playbook. It gave up on class and shared citizenship years ago. In its place came identity politics - a machine that needs grievance to run. Keep Britain shameful and divided, and you keep the machine fed. A country proud of its full record - the bad and the good - would starve it.

Henry is part of that industry. Fame gives him licence to scold the country that made him. And there's profit in it: book tours, panels, media applause for calling Britain uniquely wicked. But the demand collapses under the faintest scrutiny. Who counts as "black British"? New arrivals? Mixed heritage? Should the descendants of abolitionists and sailors who died hunting slavers pay the same as those of slavers? None of it is coherent because coherence isn't the point. The point is spectacle and leverage.

And it's toxic. A society cannot function if entire groups are told they owe blood debts to strangers, or if young Britons grow up believing the nation is a crime scene. This isn't how you build equality; it's how you breed resentment and fracture.

Let's be clear: this isn't compassion. It's revolutionary politics dressed as justice - an attempt to tear down a nation by making its people hate their own past and doubt their own worth. Keep them ashamed and you can make them accept almost anything.

None of this denies slavery's evil or Britain's role in it. But honesty demands the whole record: the profits, yes, but also the long, bloody, costly campaign to end the trade worldwide. That story matters - which is exactly why it's under attack.

Britain needs to push back. Pride isn't denial; it's the antidote to endless guilt-mongering. Those who build careers on running the country down should be challenged, not indulged.

Sir Lenny Henry's £18 trillion demand isn't justice. It's theatre for an ideology that feeds on division. And the longer Britain stays silent, the more that ideology will eat away at the idea of one people and one country.

It's time Britain stopped apologising for its own existence.

"Sir Lenny Henry's £18 trillion demand isn't justice. It's theatre for an ideology that feeds on division."

“The most diverse place in Britain… you will see Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Christians a lot of them from African and Caribbean extract…”

So in Handsworth, Birmingham, Asian residents now make up the largest group (around 60%), followed by Black residents (22%) and White residents (12%), with smaller percentages representing other ethnic and mixed groups.

But does anyone ever pause to ask where all the white British families who lived there for generations went? Or to express even a flicker of sympathy for what that experience must have been like?

There’s nothing wrong with diversity, I want to make that absolutely clear, if it is done carefully and considerately. But there was once a time when this area was majority white British, with generations of local history, and many will have left because it no longer felt like home. Politicians celebrate this demographic transformation but it seems to me that what’s missing is empathy. Empathy for those who felt displaced and who watched their home slip away. These sort of demographic changes are not normal.

The same could be said of so many who left the East End, people uprooted by cultural shift and change. They are so often written out of the story, and that, to me, feels quietly and profoundly cruel.

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

@UnitedStandMUFC Absolute NO!! he only did so well with England because he got really lucky draws in big competitions. I can’t remember his England team ever beating a decent side - can you?

[Dean M @DeanMarsland]

Weve got to be the worst run club in the world

[Mr Man United @MrManUnitedd]

🚨Hard not to wonder how Manchester United can be owned by two sets of billionaires, still be over £700m in debt, finish 15th in their worst season ever, and look completely directionless on every front.
