Hard not to enjoy this chaotic style when it works, hard to justify it when it doesn’t, but hardest of all to see how it’s ever supposed to win games consistently

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Encountered a hunt yesterday whilst out walking at Haytor on Dartmoor.

Shortly before they arrived, we'd also seen a fox bolting across the moor.

Presumably the hunt had driven it from its hole ('earth') and blocked the entrance?

Thought fox hunting was illegal? 🤔

Have Manchester United considered occasionally keeping possession rather than attempting to release a forward *literally* every time they get the ball?

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

But Gary you are not ‘rural people’ are you ? The vast majority of people , including people who live in rural locations , are sick of your sadistic illegal killing of wildlife . Stop lying - you don’t represent ‘the countryside’ you are diminishing minority of savages which the world wants to leave behind . Go away ! @HuntSabs @LeagueACS @ProtectTheWild_ @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer

Another reason, this one writ large, why the Premier League can't be trusted to run English football. Another reason why the independent regulator can't come soon enough.

Beautiful Nancy is at risk. She meets the height of a female XL bully and some of the other ‘defined’ characteristics. If she’s not adopted by December then there’s every chance she will not be allowed to. She’s only 3 and a sweetheart. Please message me for more info 🙏

There’s so much bad news in the world you can feel powerless.

Sometimes you can only fix and help improve the problems in front of you.

Case in point… Hank the Tank. What a comeback 🥰🙏

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

From being dumped in the Thai jungle to this. You couldn’t make it up Buttons.

You did it, brave little girl 🥰

She’s in safe hands @liamgallagher 🙏

@JakeMooreUK @GiganetUK Ha! I remembered your tweet, although I can't remember what I had for dinner last night! @GiganetUK it is then, thank you so much for your help 👍🏻

[James Roberts @jamrob]

@JakeMooreUK Hi, a while you tweeted about full fibre internet connectivity you'd signed up for, can I ask you which provider you opted for and if you're happy with it? We're moving next week and I need to decide!!

£4.9 billion profits, up 40%, when your nan daren’t leave her immersion heater on. There is something unfathomably wrong with this. But hey, don’t pay attention to these cowboys, look at the boat people instead.

[Remo @Remo26599]

Well at least Maguire going will save me a lot of arguments with dickheads this season.
Hope he does well. He cared about United a hell of a lot more than all the turkeys on here giving him shit.

Superbly written piece and so accurate...

Too many voters are insufficiently informed & reflective to vote other than tribally or self-interestedly in exploitable ways due to failings in how we conceive of ‘education’, writes @acgrayling

The best Hollywood scriptwriter couldn't pen a better ending for the 3 boys...

🤒 All nearly died from their initial injuries
📅 Months of planning
✈️ 10,000 KM journey
🥰 Dozens of people making it happen

King Whacker, Rodney and Moritz arriving home... Priceless 🙏

[James Roberts @jamrob]

I'm not crying!

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

This is the happiest story you could Imagine. Months in the making. None of these street dogs should be here today given how they started. Yet I sit writing this absolutely floored to see them off…

🏡 5 dogs headed off to their forever homes. King Whacker, Moritz, Num, Brad Pitt and Rodney.

✈️ They’ll travel to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇸

🤕 They all arrived as streets dogs close to death. They leave fully healthy and with wonderful lives ahead of them

🚌 The first leg takes them to Bangkok. They have company on the journey to ease them in. That part is 15 hours alone.

🥹 I said all week I’d be fine. This is part of it. Today I was all efficient and organizing bits. As soon as I sat down tonight it just hit me like a wave. They’ve gone forever. I’ve been through the mill with those dogs and held them close to death and had sleepless nights with them. I’m so so happy and they are set for life but I also miss them dearly already.

🐕 I’m especially close to King Whacker. He was always the top dog in the pack. The boss. But he’s also a sensitive soul. The rest had no idea what was going on today but he knew. He knew that there was a big change of his circumstances. I tried to explain he’ll be in heaven with a new forever family in Glasgow. I’ll visit him one day 100%.

🥰🙏 I didn’t know you could mix such profound happiness and pride along with such a feeling of sadness. Their lives are all changed forever though and that’s all that matters.

🐶 Most importantly there are 5 free spots now for the next dogs who need them and there are always plenty of those.

✅ Proud. Happy. Sad. Tired

Have a lovely weekend everybody 🥰

Congratulations to Manchester City on their fifth Premier League title in six years.

And kudos to superfan Sheikh Mansour (one visit to his beloved club in 15 years), and to his unbelievable commercial department.

Chapeau. 👏
