@ArchDigest You're implying that London didn't exist in any form before the Romans; that it was an empty barren landscape until the Romans appeared and announced (in Latin): "Let there be Londinium."

Thank you to Louder Than War for this wonderful review of Manchester: The Biography by @EdGlinert1

The turmoil and chaos at Manchester United exemplified by Leni Yoro in defence (in no way the standard for a professional footballer) and that idiotic 18-year-old. He's been booked, so he throws ball down in temper. Has he not been trained in the rules?

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@E10D_MC @mcfc_lads Eh? There is no World Club Cup this season...from the start or at any time.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@GetYourGuide Thanks.
How do I send you a private message?!

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@GetYourGuide Hi, I've been desperately trying to join your guides for months. It's impossible to understand your website. You keep saying you'll give me a new password and nothing happens. How do I join your guides? Thanks, Ed Glinert

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@JMPSimor And you're a barrister! Rewire your brain: the Left is a hate machine: hatred of the rich, capitalism, Jews, "Tories", of anyone who disagrees with them, Zionists, free-thinkers, thinkers at all, normal working people...

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

Man U train their academy players well. Shea Lacey, only his 3rd game, with his team heading out the FA Cup, lets down the faith the club have put in him by getting sent off for of all things throwing the ball away. What a total idiot! @henrywinter @_PaulHayward @robharris

I've had to turn off @talkSPORT's Man U-Brighton commentary. Mike #Phelan is the most annoying co-commentator I've ever heard, and I've been tuning in for decades. All pointless jargon, with no emotion in his voice. The aural equivalent of watching paint dry.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@GetYourGuide Thank you. How do I send a DM?
I can reply to this, but how do I send a DM?
If only I could talk to somebody in charge!
This has been going on for weeks.
If only I knew had to become one of your guides.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@meralhece I remember how you were totally useless when I asked you for help in Islington 25 years ago. I'll give a Trumpian London a go, thanks.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@JMPSimor God forbid I get you as a barrister.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@GetYourGuide
I'm trying to set up. When I get to the point "Please complete the captcha challenge" there is NO captcha challenge!!! Please help.

@DougieCritchley
Terrible liberal racism. Why is it "important that young, black English coaches get opportunities"? Surely recruits should be judged on their ability, not their race. Incidentally, would you approve of young Jewish coaches getting the same opportunities? Mmm.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@AskGetGuide
Hello. Ed Glinert, Manchester tour guide, here. I am desperately trying to become one of your guides and it's impossible! I keep going round in circles on your website. Can I talk to someone on the phone please. Not an AI robot. Thanks.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@IanDarke Whaaa? Absolutely no chance.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@henrywinter Even though every boss is now described officially as "head coach", fans always say "manager". Has there even been a pub conversation where people discuss their "head coach"?

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@vksparks Did you now that before the current version of the Champions League was installed, it was possible to draw every game 0-0 - all 6 mini League games - and then draw every knock-out match 0-0 and still win the trophy?!

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@vksparks Great commentary, but I'm afraid you're wrong about the result of the Arsenal-Palace League Cup match. It was a draw. The penalties do not change the result. They're just to decide who goes through.

[Ed Glinert @EdGlinert1]

@Heccles94 Prove to me you're real. Only a bot could come out with the rubbish you spout!
