Details of a new era ✍️

[Scott Saunders @__scottsaunders]

First day of the season. Just as a reminder.

[mufcytp @mufcytp]

Manchester United have suffered 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐕𝐀𝐑 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬 this season, with eight decisions going against them.

Chelsea and Arsenal have had the most errors in their favour this season, with seven each.

[as per @Squawka website]

Now people should understand why United fans are often unhappy with refereeing decisions.

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

How on earth is Gabriel on the pitch still? If that was a United player it would have been a straight red and extended ban.

That’s genuinely disgusting compared to the pen United didn’t get

[Adam Gardner @adam_gardner_]

Customer service from @British_Airways has been disgusting. Our flight from Colombo to Heathrow has been cancelled and the only options are to fly via a war zone or pay for a new flight. The lack of support and duty of care is appalling. Please contact me as soon as possible.

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

But he’s spot on? Scraping the interest only helps those likely to pay them off, which is a massive minority of people who aren’t the ones that need the help.

The interest is psychology, not reality.

[John Dutton @mindofprospect]

I hate Martin Lewis so much, why is he advocating against a reduction in the interest rates?

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

Was this list made by a 21 year old?

[UtdDistrict @UtdDistrict]

Last month, @TheAthleticFC released an updated list of their Top 60 #PL Players of All Time.

Some highlights:

- Wayne Rooney 9th
- David Silva over Paul Scholes
- Jamie Vardy over Ruud van Nistelrooy
- Didn't name Nemanja Vidic... 👀😶

[Rio Ferdinand @rioferdy5]

How’s that not a penalty…?
Defender saying he got the ball 🧐

[Vik @IconicNumber7]

But it was Rodri in the centre that was playing him on? Did they not check that one!?!?!

[Al Foran @ImpressionistAL]

Sick and tired of Ruben Amorim, such a negative manager, anti Man United, my head will literally explode if I see another like for like centre back sub in the 70th minute.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Manchester United fans have been incredibly loyal and patient towards Amorim. But stubbornly reverting to a back-five and being defensive against Wolves at home is completely unacceptable. Absentees no excuse. It’s about the right mindset and system. Elland Road next. #MUFC

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

Taking Heaven off in the middle of the second half was the last straw for me, bored of Amorim taking us backwards.

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

@MartinSLewis @GMB Is the 30 cancellation period from when you get the text message or is it from April 2026?

Mine is going up 17%!?

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

@JamesAsser Thank you for getting back to me, James (and team). I’ll ping you an email.

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

@JamesAsser @NewhamLondon @NewhamRecorder Newham council have closed Memorial Park in Plaistow due to the storm(?!) there is a nursery in the park and currently all of the mums, babies and staff are stranded outside the gates in the rain and cold!

What the hell is going on?!

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

Parent, staff and babies stranded in the rain outside their closed nursery at memorial park today due to lack of @NewhamLondon planning, communication and mitigation.

[James Leighfield @jamesleighfield]

And what exactly having the council done to support the business being forced to close at late notice? The warnings didn’t appear this morning. Have you been in touch with all the affected businesses to mitigate the impact? #NewhamFailsAgain

[Newham London 💙 @NewhamLondon]

Due to the forecast impact of Storm Benjamin and a Yellow Weather Warning for strong winds, all Newham parks will be closed today to keep visitors and staff safe.

We expect to reopen on Friday 24 October, subject to weather conditions.

Thank you for your understanding.
