Man Utd ST holder (W3101), also make the odd away. From Swinton originally but now live in Wales. I mainly use this to scroll on after Utd games as an echo chamber of moaning, mostly about MUFC players and VAR.
Great thread - which in a way demonstrates yet another arena where successive governments (on both sides of the spectrum) have effectively failed everyone for years, all for an easier life politically. Council tax is just such a completely nuts system with how outdated it now is.
These reports the Government could revalue council tax bands F, G and H don't make sense to me. Here's what could actually be going on:

Only just got home - that drive was a grim one largely muttering to myself about fucking back five vs 10 men. Just when you thought the banter era was turning a corner. Liverpool struggling too for the first time in ages. Fucking BOOM - #mufc go and serve that up. What an incredible football team.
I still can't believe we lost a game where the other team put themselves down to 10 men 🤣🤣🤣

Even against ten men, Amorim can't find it within himself to remove one of his beloved centre backs to create an overload elsewhere. Absolutely zero point in having three CBs look after one striker. Fucking hell. And then you have that absolute clown Zirkzee up front. Abysmal.

I’d happily give Everton 6 points for that. Absolutely brilliant from them. Did an absolute job on #mufc there - biggest example of men vs boys I think I’ve ever seen.

Genuinely incredible. Manchester United - 3 CBs against 10 men for most of the game. It’s just indefensible.
There’s an attacking player on the bench but god forbid we ever have less than three centre-backs on the field eh

Potential for an all time great banter era result here. Hoping to be proved wrong ofc but a team of soft arses led by a manager yet again (so far) refusing to adapt to an oppo red. Nearly cost him against Chelsea, Lyon.. here we are again. #MUFC

The A55 upgrade received tens of millions from YUP you guessed it EU funding as part of the Trans European Transport Network.
So yes, sure, turn up and listen to him witter on ... and vote for him if you want Wales... but he's done NOTHING for you and never ever will.
Whereas the EU did loads.

To add to all this - it does make me laugh seeing people in North Wales being sucked in by reform. As well as the region being a big beneficiary of EU money, purely anecdotally from living there for years I’d guess it’s one of the least diverse parts of the whole country. 🤷🏻♂️
Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.
Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.
Original development also received significant EU funding.
Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

In the unlikely event that Farage arrived by train he will have gone to Llandudno station - renovated courtesy of the £21.5 million contributed by the EU to the Wales Station Improvement Programme started in 2005.
If he drove then he'd have gone on the coastal stretch of the A55 ...guess what folks

Only thing about watching this North London Derby now is, it’s winding me up that United didn’t beat them both in the Europa final and at WHL last game after starting so well there. Spurs are absolutely shite.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Conwy Half done today which completes the Run Wales Castle Series 2025! Stupidly played hockey yesterday too so I have to admit I didn’t massively enjoy it - but buzzing to complete the series. Recommend it massively for any runners in North Wales / NW - Eryri & Conwy halfs especially are great.

Decent by #mufc that - felt like it went a bit untidy after the goal though. Just need to sharpen up with the ball and off the ball movement again after HT.

Ah man. What a show #thetraitors is. Thought they inadvertently ruined the ending of the last ‘normal’ one with the sight gimmick near the end. But that was probably the best overall game since the very first series.

Christ, I’ve only just seen the Dan Burn header from last night. Looks like some mega unrealistic FIFA goal. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a header like it from memory. Unreal.

Not all is lost for this 9-5 desk merchant. Just done a DIY job on changing a bathroom extractor fan without electrocuting myself into an early grave. Piss easy when you know how I know, but I’m useless at this kinda thing. Might aswell be a part time electrician now 💰

My head would be on Mars if I was an Everton fan watching that second half. No emotional attachment to that match whatsoever but they’ve fucking rattled me. Absolutely mental how little quality they showed with the ball.

The only club that would get an article written like this. It shouldn’t have been given, yes, but it’s hardly the worst decision in the world (only still in by mm) and it’s hardly handing a goal to United on a plate either. But of course, the #MUFC gravy train needs to rumble on.

Just watched a clip from the Not Today Pal pod, didn’t realise what it was at first but they’re sat there discussing some batshit chemtrail conspiracy theory with Drea de Matteo ending it by saying she ate snow to see if it was toxic. I’m never engaging with anything done by Sopranos actors again 😂
