🚨 Mauricio Pochettino to become Manchester United boss on 2.5yr contract. Deal until summer 2029 + 54yo expected to lead #USMNT over int’l break & then arrive at #MUFC in time for Liverpool. Announcement as soon as Friday. W/ @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/7BwWN81Epk

The gap between the Charlton and Neville brothers starting for England is 31 years.

If Jobe & Jude play together, then the gap between the Nevilles and Bellinghams will be 30 years.

So about the same gap. The Nevilles are as close to the Charltons as they are to the Bellinghams!

Did the game change more between 66 & 96? Or between 96 & 26?

We can confirm Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach.

Stacy Keach was the guy in NY, late '60s. MACBIRD was downright seismic off-B'way, then he moved uptown for INDIANS. A very interesting guy and a great talent. RIP

@BounceRoccSkate Always a bit jarring to go from the final season back to the first one, though. The physical toll on Gandolfini is conspicuous.

@K_Niemietz Following in the footsteps of the great PJ O'Rourke. Well done indeed.

#mufc should’ve got Pochettino in 2018 after they wrongly sacked Mourinho. They should’ve gone for him when he was available in 2019 and 2020, and after Solskjaer went in 2021. Ten Hag beat him to it in 2022. Very United if they opt for Pochettino in 2026.

🚨 Manchester United intend to relieve Michael Carrick of duties. #MUFC say no final decision & nothing set in stone but work undertaken on replacements + multiple sources anticipate change before Liverpool. W/ @lauriewhitwell @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/E1W3QbGYx1

Here with the Bishop of Galway, Most Rev. Michael Duignan and Fr. Paul Murphy, Irish Army Chaplain, outside St. Patrick’s Garrison Church, Renmore, following today’s prayer service of remembrance for all of Galway’s Great War dead. Galway lost approximately 1,200 lives in that terrible and tragic war. Two of my own great granduncles were also killed in action. #NeverForget #Remembrance ☘️

I had a little chuckle at the opening paragraph of Jacob Rees-Mogg's latest piece.

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.
