I think this speaks everything of the season at #nufc
Piss poor in attack, midfield is non-existent in most games, a defence that concedes at least a goal every game and no mention of goalkeepers..
Major change is needed in the summer at @nufc or we are in big trouble
BRIAN MAY QUIETLY WALKED INTO A SMALL RESCUE SHELTER ON THE BRINK OF CLOSING — WITH JUST 48 HOURS LEFT BEFORE EVERY CAT INSIDE WOULD BE PUT DOWN
The bills were overdue. Donations had dried up. The owner had run out of options. In less than 48 hours, 39 cats were scheduled to be euthanized—not because they were sick or aggressive, but because there was nowhere left for them to go.
Then, without cameras, a film crew, or any announcement, Brian May walked through the door.
Known to millions as the legendary guitarist of Queen and a lifelong animal-rights advocate, Brian didn’t ask for recognition. He didn’t lead with his iconic status. Dressed simply, with his familiar calm presence, he walked straight to the back of the shelter—to the quietest row of enclosures, where the oldest and weakest cats lay unnoticed.
There, curled up in the corner of a worn blanket, was an 11-year-old tabby mix named Buddy.
Too tired to lift his head.
Too old to be adopted.
Too close to the end.
Brian knelt beside him, his gentle hands resting softly on the cat’s head. He spoke quietly, careful not to startle him. For several moments, he said nothing at all. Then he looked up at the owner and asked softly,
“How many cats are here?”
“Thirty-nine,” the owner replied, her voice breaking.
Brian nodded. No hesitation. No phone calls to assistants. He said calmly—with a steady certainty that stilled the room:
“All 39 cats deserve a future.”
What followed felt unreal to the shelter staff. The very next morning, delivery trucks began arriving.
New bedding and climate-safe flooring.
High-quality food and medical supplies.
Scratching posts, grooming stations, and enrichment areas.
Every enclosure was repaired and restored. All outstanding debts were paid in full. Veterinarians were brought in to examine every single animal. Above each enclosure, a small wooden sign appeared: “Forever home — with love from Brian.”
But the moment that brought everyone to tears came from the quietest corner of the room. Buddy was being lifted gently for a checkup when Brian stepped forward.
“I’ll take him,” he said.
The room went silent. Buddy—overlooked for a decade—finally belonged.
“He’s waited long enough,” Brian said later, a soft smile on his face. “I think it’s time he came home.”
Brian May didn’t post about it. He didn’t mention it on stage. He didn’t call the press. The story surfaced days later when a volunteer, overwhelmed by what she’d witnessed, decided people needed to know.
He didn’t just save a shelter.
He didn’t just save cats.
He saved 39 lives—and reminded the world that compassion doesn’t need applause.
Sometimes, the greatest acts of kindness happen when the spotlight is off.
Based on historical soccer data from leagues like the Premier League, key indicators predicting a bounce-back from slumps include:
1. Expected Goals (xG) differential: Teams underperforming xG often regress positively (e.g., Liverpool's 2019-20 recovery).
2. Possession and shot creation: High possession (>55%) with shots on target correlate with wins in 70% of turnaround cases.
3. Defensive solidity: Low goals conceded per game (<1.2) signals resilience, per studies on UEFA teams.
4. Recent form metrics: Points from last 5 matches >1.2 average predict 65% recovery rate.
Liverpool's current xG suggests potential for improvement if trends hold.
@FootyAccums Maybe the Saudi clubs should start putting in half arsed bids for Liverpools best players and offering £1m a week wages and see how well the scousers take that? Because offering the biggest wages means you are the biggest club now, right?
@xassang@lee_ryder Yeah the business side works like this.. Walk into Asda to buy a drink worth £1.50, go to the till but tell the staff "I'm only paying £1.10 la", then whinge like a baby on the way out, without the drink!
You've also upset the staff member with your stupid 'kin scouse accent
@FootyAccums He's had to cancel his subscription to it as he's effectively on the dole now because we ain't paying the rat a penny. He can go play for Racist FC if he wants but they need to actually put a bid in to match our value

@Madders10 Hate you when you play against us, but you are a great player. Hope you have a quick recovery and the Premier League gets to see you again this season. Defo want you to have a chance of getting a World Cup spot

@tracyfreemantle@footballtweet Yeah it's £20 for the rest of us as somebody has to subsidise the billions of debt the top 6 are in, which never gets mentioned as part of PSR
@MsiDouglas Hilarious, so funny. One team can spend billions of pounds with no consequences and one can't spend anything. On our side it is mainly due to the total ineptness to get things sorted in 24 hours... the scouting of Pedro has lasted about 24 months ffs
