Man Utd fan, loves music of pretty much all kinds, wannabe chef and disliker of all things Tory. Anti Brexit, anti Trump and anti anything right wing.

Love cooking, sometimes take pictures of my attempts. Beatles fanatic. Cricket fan.

All round good egg.

Well, my time on Twitter/X has finally come to an end and my account there is deactivated.

Will be spending more time here now as a result. Which I think is a good thing!

I really want Amorim to succeed, but I can't say I'm convinced. Blindly following a formation that players aren't suited to, and which may not work in the Premier League is concerning. He says he won't change, but if he doesn't I fear the worst.

Dan Ashworth is gone then.

Not a great look for INEOS especially after the haggling with Newcastle and the long wait to get him in.

If every player consistently put in the same level of effort and commitment as Amad, we'd be alright.

RIP Kath.

The official tribute, and the many lovely words from ex players and journalists did bring a tear to the eye.

Sounds like a wonderful lady and the end of an era.

Morning Reds.

Not too gutted about losing to Stoke, sorry, Arsenal last night. Definite lack of quality in final third, but remained solid for much of the game and it's evident they're trying to follow Amorim's instructions.

It's gonna take time and this wasn't a game I expected much from.

I think I've already missed a day.

Anyhow, 2nd album pick is this.

Lovely day out with a mate yesterday on a London pub crawl. Ended in The Spice of Life watching the incredible Apollo Brass, who were an amazing find.

This was the best pub tree we saw. Congrats to The Silver Cross pub.

Bought a power bank thing for my phone, as phone getting older and losing battery more quickly.

This thing is bigger than my actual phone and weighs a ton. What's the bloody point of that!!

In need of a new book to read, and in the mood for a musical biography/autobiography or a book generally about music. A band, an artist, a genre...

Any recommendations? 📖 🎶

20 albums for the next 20 days. I hope I don't forget to continue with this, but do share yours (and feel free to remind me!).

Wise words.
Authenticity is hard.

Ask yourself:

- Am I speaking my truth?
- Am I true to my needs and values?
- Can I genuinely express what I really think?
- Do people around me really know who I am?

If you can't answer these questions with "yes" - you're not authentic.

Good morning.

Haven't posted anything on the other site for weeks now. Somehow I can't quite pull the plug, even though it's far more pleasant in this space.

Anyone else struggling to cut the cord?
November 29, 2024 at 6:51 AM
Some other things I'm into:

- The Beatles
- Cricket
- Beer & wine
- Cookery, especially Indian and Thai food.
- Cheese
- Britpop
- Reading (pretty much anything really)
- Politics, left leaning and definitely NOT right.
- History

Shared interests? If so, come join me!

Morning BlueSky 💙

Continuing to gain followers, which is lovely and I'm following back as quickly as I can. BUT, if there's nothing on your profile saying what you're about and what your interests are etc, I won't be following back.

I need to be sure I'm following the right folk 😄

Happy Friday!

Quite pleased with this creation.

Underwhelming game after a brilliant start. Amorim will surely have learned a lot today and will realise, if he didn't before, the scale of the task.

Lack of cutting edge, not great in possession and poor decision making. It can only improve?

From a mobile number? I don't fucking think so.

Better luck next time you scamming cockwombles.

We have a tree up.

Bit early, but weren't sure if the thing would reassemble as a bit knackered so needed to leave time for getting a replacement.

Quite pleased with it, although 99% of it was my wife's efforts!

In preparing for this week, Amorim leaned on a coaching guideline where if something can't be explained in one sentence, don't say it.
He realises image is important here, but not as important to United as a new clarity

Ruben Amorim can succeed where previous Man Utd managers have failed
As he prepares for his first game as United boss, Amorim may just have the secret to success at Old Trafford where his predecessors fell down

Very impressed with the first presser.

Confident, quite charming and clearly disarmed some of the press pack. Honest too.

Not getting carried away, but a very assured start.
🔴✨ Rúben Amorim: “Call me naive, but I believe I am the right guy at the right time. I truly believe I am the right guy”.

“I am a little bit a dreamer and I believe in myself, in the club. We have the same idea and mindset”.

“You think it's impossible, I think it's possible”.
