I see that Gene Hackman would've been 96 today, and it got me thinking of the brilliant The Conversation.
I haven't sat down to watch it for a good few years, so I will definitely get to it this weekend.

Just eleven billionaires in Ireland hold €46 billion between them.
That's the same amount of wealth as 66% of the population.

This is mad.
I wasn’t buzzing with Amorim, but I defs wouldn’t have sacked him.
It seems that Radcliff can’t work with anyone that disagrees with him.
What happened to ‘3 years’?
I really am worried about the next few years for Utd if this is the way it’s going to be managed
