we build up from the back and allow opponents to defend in numbers
we resort to crossing because we don't really have the ability/confidence to play between the lines
we no longer press
but we've spent ~170mil or whatever on 3 players who can't play this way

Deservedly beaten today by a Villa team who are superior in every department, but especially in the dugout. Bar Barnes our forwards are mediocre at best #nufc

A reminder of the event in 2009 when Gordon Brown was pilloried for a handwritten letter to the mother of fallen soldier Jamie Janes.
Brown, who has poor eyesight, addressed her as Mrs Jones.
Tom is correct to highlight the hypocrisy of Trump fan boys and fan girls.

Hearing from GB News that Trump’s comments claiming only american troops deaths really count pales in comparison to the proper insults like Gordon Brown handwriting a letter to every family of a soldier killed in action because he has bad eyesight. Proper patriots agree!

Entirely unsurprising Kemi Badenoch has managed to put herself on the wrong side of this argument.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer says President Trump changed his view on the Chagos Islands 'for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland
'He wants me to yield on my position and I'm not going to do so'

If there are players at #nufc angling for moves, and there are a few likely suspects, then get them moved and reinvest the money. If the team needs a restart, so be it. There are too many putting half arsed efforts in. If they want away, get top dollar and get rid.

A very disappointing but wholly expected performance today. From the manager down, that was unacceptable. All credit he & the players have built up has now gone #nufc

When things started working, when city centres began to smarten up and thrive, after 1997 it was, for a while, genuinely shocking. It was not the Britain we'd grown up in. But we threw it all away again - and the people responsible are telling us to blame immigrants.
Absolutely this. The UK in the 1980s was so much more violent and so much dirtier than it is now. The public domain was in a state of collapse. Communities across the industrial Midlands and North, in Wales and in Scotland had been abandoned. We're still paying the price now.
Jenrick's "rough and tumble" comments about the 1980s are part of a wider collective forgetting. The 1980s were a pretty grim time. The country seemed to wake up in the mid-1990s but until then everything felt stuck and aggressive (not least, football hooliganism).

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

I'd take any Labour leader who can get enough seats at the next GE to keep the right out. But I do not see how the NEC is going to allow Burnham to stand in a by-election that will inevitably be framed as the start of his campaign to unseat Starmer - because that is exactly what it will be!

It’s not like we don’t all know how things are going to go:
1. Mandelson clings on.
2. Starmer expends yet more of his limited political capital supporting him.
3. The media drip-drip yet more eye-watering revelations, most of which they’ve been saving up for ages.
4. Mandelson eventually resigns.
