VAR is the new glass half empty or half full dichotomy. You can say it spoils the moment or that it gives you two moments to celebrate.

FIFA’s Coach of the 20th Century, Rinus Michels, differentiates between predominantly coach led sports like the NFL and player led sports like football. But in C21st footy there’s less & less emphasis on player autonomy and more on coaches decision making. It’s sad that players are like robots now.

All negative opinions are predictably taking flight after yesterday’s showing. I reckon the negativity-vortex is currently category 3; could be worse, could be better. What time can we expect the much needed TOTD??

Say your piece, make your peace but try & draw the line at overreaction. Rest up because we’ve got one of those early kickoffs to look forward to on Sunday.🇾🇪

Full-time verdict:
Maybe my memory is clouded by the sheer awfulness of what I’ve just watched but I can’t think of a worse performance from United under Amorim. Anyone jog my memory? Saw someone else say it at halftime but that does feel like they’ve regressed with that showing.

Sky Sports NFL doing a good job in hyping up the bitter Cowboys & Eagles rivalry with a good montage…until they decided to include a clip of Philly fans chanting “Dallas Sucks, Dallas Sucks, Dallas Sucks”. Hearing that as a Cowboys player or fan is really gonna hurt. 🫣 CALL.THE.COPS!!

There’s very few sights in sport as ungracious as watching NFL players attempting to recover a fumbled pigskin.

After a decent start my FPL team is in now in tatters. Looks like I’m heading the same way as last season if the last couple of game weeks are anything to go by. 📉🔽⏬️⬇️🚮 It’s largely because I chose not to captain Haaland twice but I get bored of doing the same one every GW. Decisions, decisions. 🤔💭

Imagine being given this for winning The Ashes. I’d put it in my pocket and be waiting around for the real trophy presentation. 🤷🏻♂️ Worst trophy in the world bar none!

Look away Jamie Oliver! You can’t beat walloping a turkey-twizzler and curly fries meal down once in a while. Just inhaled crispy chicken & beef super noodles with a couple of slices of buttered bread. 💯

I’ve been here, just not been posting. If I was to lie I’d say it’s because we’ve now got double trouble and my hands have been full (meet Suki)! 🤥 Truth is the winter blues have kicked in early this year and I just couldn’t be bothered posting during the ever lengthening international breaks!

Eighteen point victory vs. The Wallabies but this still stands…
England RFU are THE most frustrating team in sport…and that’s coming from a Manchester United fan! 🥀

Wilcox is making the right noise here. I think #MUFC became a vanity project for some rich men who didn’t know much about football. Thank heavens that the Galactico-era Manchester United is now seemingly over.

This is clearly a conditional 3yrs as opposed to 3yrs come-what-may. If the club finds itself in a relegation battle this season then Amorim would surely face the chop. Tough fixtures for 25/26 but I welcome SJR’s inclinations towards giving him a more than fair crack at it.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has pledged to give Ruben Amorim three years to prove himself as a “great coach” at Manchester United.
Do you agree with the decision?

I typed ‘politics of fear’ into google and found exactly what I was looking for.
Donald Trump was, from his formative years, a spoiled bully. Since returning to the White House, he has made his world view clear: there is “us” and there is “them.” David Remnick writes about the President’s politics of fear.
The Politics of Fear
As a Presidential candidate, Donald Trump made his world view plain: there was “us” and there was “them.” Once he was in the White House, the fear factor would prevail.

An important point was made a couple of times on #BBCQT tonight. The divisive language and rhetoric used by people in positions of power needs to be toned down. There can be real life consequences for irresponsible words.
