I tell awful jokes.

in a love hate relationship with Man Utd.

[Gary Wilson @GaryWilson86]

Exactly. FIFA have gone full commercialized. Ridiculous idea.

United States should never hold a World Cup again.

@jonmikesav8 That's why Ornstein is the only valuable source out there.

@samuelluckhurst Football clubs shouldnt be beholden to any journalist.

[Gary Wilson @GaryWilson86]

To call millionaire footballers "heroes" is a bit of an over the top statement.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

You guys were all my heroes last week, and you’re all my heroes tonight. Thanks for an amazing season. We’re the Champions of England and very nearly Europe too. ❤️

[Gav @MookGav]

@piersmorgan @Arsenal At least Winston Churchill won something in Europe.

There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.

To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.

Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.

Forever a Red Devil ❤️

Hi @NewshJo, just wanted to wish you all the best in a well deserved retirement.

Sorry I couldn't be there in person for your send off. Going to really miss you, you've been a real supporter of mine and it's not going to be the same without you. You're irreplaceable.

Visiting Dudley on the anniversary of Duncan’s passing.

Incredible how many United fans still make this journey every year.

[Stretford Paddock @StretfordPaddck]

Remembering the great Duncan Edwards who passed away on this day in 1958 following the Munich air crash.

As Sir Bobby Charlton once said:

"Duncan was already the complete footballer...a colossus.”

Doesn't matter who the interim manager will be, and then, doesn't matter who the next full time manager is.

Man Utd are a rotten, toxic football club. From top to bottom.

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.
