Yeah, it is just clawing back a small proportion of the losses caused by Brexit, rather like having a £100 each-way bet on a horse to win, and 'winning' £30 back when it finishes 3rd...

This is exactly the kind of situation where we needed either James Bond or Batman to step in and get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the entire planet...Unless Hollywood movies have been lying to me all this time 🤔

News media has always been mostly right wing. Owning mass media has always been the domain of right wing 'entrepreneurs' in historically capitalist nations. Comedy is mostly left wing as a result, an alternative narrative to mostly right wing governments. 'That's it's job', as Roy Keane might say! 😉

It depends how you define 'balance' I think. Objective, scientific facts & demonstrable truth have all too often been 'balanced' with horse sh*t by the BBC, on issues like climate change, Brexit, immigration, in an effort to reflect what is promoted as debate by social media posts & Daily Mail etc

Yep,as I read it the first time it was clear to me you meant it sarcastically.If you had posted it on Twitter it would have been 50/50 either way,at best!As you say,context is key 😀

Looking at the fixtures until xmas, there's only 2 games I think Utd can win, Sunderland & West Ham at OT,even they are 50/50. These days when I see games vs Brentford,Brighton,Palace or Forest I expect a dire performance & humbling defeat,home or away.Against top teams I expect even worse.

Don't know which is worse. The filming opposition players celebrating a goal, as a memento, or the smiles on several faces in the crowd. In the words of Bart Simpson...Ay caramba!!!

I feel more sympathy for Hojlund.Although he has really struggled and is prone to wrestling the CB's in no man's land,the service to him has been awful too.At least he seems to want to try and to play for Utd,even in adversity.

If he does go to Chelsea, just hope it is a permanent deal or obligation to buy,not the opt out option they had with Sancho,which just kicked the can down the road and left Utd with the same problem of trying to sell again now,for an even lesser fee

Perhaps,but potential is just that and is no guarantee of future development.Was appalled by his petulant outburst after Spurs game.Also foolish(at best) tweet with gorilla emoji about Onana,+ other past disciplinary issues leave question marks about his character,for me.We can agree to disagree!👍

Personally, I regarded Garnacho as Januzaj mk2.A flash in the pan after one admittedly cracking goal. Inconsistent,infuriating and overrated. If he goes to Chelsea he will end up surplus in 2 years,like Sterling,Mudryk etc

That's understandable, more of a rational fear than a phobia in the circumstances!

Sorry to hear that,sounds awful. Am guessing you must have an allergy and it was anaphylaxis,as they are not usually dangerous to ppl.Most would only get a mild bite reaction at worst.

Fair point, but the same can be said of the electorate who vote for them. Both are part of an ongoing cycle of short-term, selfish thinking. Feudalism & capitalism are designed to keep many ppl poor & desperate, some others 'aspiring' to greater comfort, whilst a few own most of the wealth & rule.

Yeah, I suspect/hope negotiations are just extended foreplay before July 1st, & this is due to FFP or whatever it is called now. Everything I have read says Mbuemo is determined to be a Red, the most significant aspect short & long term, rather than prolonged nonsense about De Jong etc previously
