@MarcBhafc @EliotFowle lol Rashford was offside an hour later so this GBH doesn’t count

That Bergvall is a player.

Absolutely not having that as “slotted home”

@Glasgow_Live They’re calling it the worst piece of journalism ever. Harsh? Who’s to say?

[Douglas Brown @ddjbmufc]

@john_my07 It doesn’t feel authentic in the slightest. Two empire state buildings, pedestrians stepping into oncoming traffic early getting obliterated by passing cars and not blinking an eye, cars driving the same was as the pedestrians into buildings? C’mon man. Yous are all so weird.

I think we got a glimpse into what life could (should?) be like during the pandemic. So many people I know took up hobbies like exercise, reading and baking. I think it’s not an “I don’t want to” it’s an “I don’t have time”.

“Soon anybody will be able to make anything they want.” Well they already can do that and they don’t.

@HughWoozencroft @prorefofficial Let’s be clear if Man United conceded a penalty for an identical tackle we’d be up in arms. Fantastic foot in from Tarkowski, I thought.

Legacy is overcharging customers and being referred to as Tim Apple.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!

@cafcosullivan @ThomasCarlse The question is: if you got elbowed in the face and suffered fractures is a lawsuit acceptable?

Ain’t another feeling like logging on and seeing an Ornstein Bomba at the top of your page 😎

@JacobMurtagh578 @Craig28Davies I mean Guardiola played for Barca and Spain and did score free kicks so… 🙂

@Gradient_Sports He’s been in Europe his whole career you dopes 😂

[Douglas Brown @ddjbmufc]

Hate to say it about a young player but T. Fletcher looks out of his depth at this level.

[Douglas Brown @ddjbmufc]

@jacobtpl @aidanblumlevine @premqnair It’s hilarious that people post things like this unironically. “We’ve finally did it - we’ve found a way for you to overpay for McDonald’s!!!!”

@Glasgow_Times Perhaps include a photograph of the affected item(s) next time

@CF3Loyal Nobody had heard of him!

[Douglas Brown @ddjbmufc]

@AhmadSodeko @alexcmfc You’re right, that’ll be the transfer fee recouped with that tweet!

[Douglas Brown @ddjbmufc]

@antpaulbloom Newcastle only needed to sell one of Hall or Bruno and (probably correctly) decided record money for the older player was the right call. That’s probably more the case rather than the club not pursuing Hall hard enough

This clown is the most performative prick on social media these days.

Good morning Prime Minister @andyburnham ,

Been thinking about another idea for ya.

It’s about our kids. I honestly think we can do better for them.

The classroom ain’t changed for over 100 years, but kids have. The world has changed. Jobs have changed. Technology has changed. But we are still teaching nearly every child exactly the same way and expecting exactly the same results. Imagine a classroom where the lesson is climbing trees. And you’ve got 29 monkeys and 1 shark in the classroom. The monkeys are gonna fly up the tree and everyone claps them. But shark is gonna be sitting there thinkin he is thick and thinking he’s failed, and that he’ll never be good enough. But the shark ain’t stupid. He is just in the wrong place.

But if ya put that shark in the sea…….. not one monkey will be able to keep up with him.

That’s what I think we’re doing to thousands of kids every single day. And I now that because I was 1 of them. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to one of the best schools in my area, and I was very very grateful for it. But I got expelled because I never fitted the system. I’m dyslexic.

From 12 years old I worked setting up market stalls before school and from 16 I was working on them full time. That was probably the best education I got. It taught me how to work hard and how to talk to people. How to buy and sell. How to get back up when things go wrong. How to graft. How to build something from nothing. I never got taut that from a textbook.

I’m not saying we stop teaching English, Maths and Science. We need them. But why ain’t we teaching kids how to open a bank account? Or how mortgages work? How to save money? How to speak with confidence? How to cook a meal? How to build something? How to change a tyre? How to deal with failure? How to spot an opportunity? How to get on with life on the daily.

My idea is to get local business owners, tradesmen, nurses, engineers, farmers and entrepreneurs go into schools. Let kids get their hands dirty. Let them find what they’re actually good at. Instead of thinking they ain’t no good because they fail an English exam. Not every kid is meant to sit behind a desk. Some are meant to build houses. Some are meant to invent things. Some are meant to run businesses that employ hundreds of people. Some are meant to fix cars. Some are meant to become the next generation of market traders. Every single one of them matter.

I honestly believe we’ve got kids leaving school today feeling like failures when really they ain’t been given the chance to shine.

Imagine what this country could become if instead of trying to make every child the same… we found what made every child special.

We’ll have happier kids. Better workers. More businesses. More jobs. A better economy and Less people feeling lost.

What do we think? Let’s change the educational system to support our kids, because they’re our future.

Bosh❤️

@PaddyKeoghAF Nonsense. I think the club are absolutely right on two things: 1) they stop overpaying. Anderson isn’t worth > £100m and Fernandes at £85m is a joke. Plus, the wages and agents fees etc. 2) if these players don’t WANT Utd then convincing them with a big bag of cash isn’t prudent.
